The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1880-01-29
Parker's Store.

In my last letter j. NJ. Parker
should have been j. NJ. Baker. Peo-
pie cannot prevent mistakes some
times, although theylmay be pains
taking. We cannot boast of a vii.
lage blacksmith at this time. Ever
since we nave been wearing the dig
nifty of country village we have
listened to the song of tho anvil,
but its music is hushed and its sa
BILE performer has hied himself
away to the suburbs of Old Lynn
VILE, We hope, however, that the
vacancy will soon be filed, for our
farmers will have to pillow under dis
advantages if it is not, and our
boys will have no place to lounge
during rainy days. We would give
a cordial welcome to any good
smith who has control Of his loqua
cious member, and who will do his
work according to turn.
Our villagers have lost the genial
presence of our neighbors, Jonathan
and James w. Vaughan, who left
us to occupy a farm on Pigeon
Roost creek. Mr.. c. C. Vaughan
also has stock in it, but will not de
sert the old homestead. That com-
munity may boast of two more
staunch citizens. We wish them
abundant success. Some of our
boys have been ordering Swiss
watches lately and they are afflicted
with the dry grins when they take
them from the express Office and
open the box. The sky has to be
mighty clear when you tell the time
O. day by them. Experience teaches
US that all newspaper advertisers
will not do to trust your money
with. Mr.. JEFF. Vaughan is an art
list In the way of talking. His con-
versational powers are so effective
that the ornamental appendages
drop from the young ladies' wrist
lets. This is no Joke, truth is
stranger than fiction. The ideal
Young Americans have been having
hard time in this section. The
frying size take them out aud tie
them them to trees and hitching
posts during their sportive hours.
They treat the little fellows badly,
all of which is decidedly wrong, or
something to that effect. Master
Allison Parker is idealizing under
the Professors Webb, of Culleoka
Institute. We wish him much sue
cess.
Mr.. Josh Alexander, of Lawrence
county, was circulating among his
relatives and friends in this burg
yesterday.
DR.. Byron Roberts of Pulaski,
was in our town the other day hunt
ing up those in need of dental SER
wees.
The latest sensation of our viii
lage was the marriage of Miss SUI
san Gillian and Mr.. G. +. Bray,
of Mai ry county. We do not
like the idea of giving our girls
to foreigners, but it seems that Gu
pid willed it otherwise and we must
submit, though reluctantly. We
congratulate the happy bridegroom
and hope that his lovely bride may
spend happy lie in her new home.
The nuptials were celebrated on
Tuesday evening, the 18th, Esquire
Parker officiating in his usual hap
Ply style.
We are having a great deal of
sickness IN this community just
now. Mrs. f. II. Cheatham has
just recovered from a severe spell.
Others are being added to the list;
some are convalescent while others
are lingering. We had hoped TO
be able to announce the recovery OF
our neighbor, Mr.. Jerome Chap
man, but it seems that fate has de-
creed to the contrary. DIR. G. G.
Alternately, of Pulaski, who was
called in consultation with his ply
stefan, adopted a change of treat
ment and revived the hopes of his
family and friends with regard to
his recovery. Mrs. Nancy Carroll
died last Thursday evening at the
advanced age of eighty eight years.
We hope she has gone where her
tottering form will be transformed
into an angel of light-where the
weary soul will rest in peace for
ever. We should respect the mem
DRY of our sainted pioneers, whose
tolls cleared the way for the west
ern march OF christian civilization.
A good many of our people are go
ing through a terrible ordeal of bao
colds. / have never known 80
many cases in this country at one
time. Complaint is coming in from
every quarter that a great deal OF
meat is being spoilt. Such things
naturally follow a warm winter
like this, and we Of course must
submit. There arc several porkersl
yet in this section, but people are
afraid to slaughter on account OF
the weather.
The young people had a sociable at
Mr. Cheatham's the other evening.
Madame Rumor has it that it was
grand affair, and that the young
folks enjoyed themselves hugely.
By the way, Mr.. Cheatham has COM
pleted bis new house and il greatly
improves that part Of the neighbor
hood. Our pastor was absent from
his pulpit on Sunday, the 18th,
reason, a new addition TO his fam
ily-a bouncing boy. Now his
friends can exclaim: "Mine eyes
have seen thy salvation Our vi.
cinity has been favored with several
proofs of conjugal fidelity of late.
