very general regret in social circles
over their departure. These charm
ing maidens, who are now standing
upon the threshold of a new exist
ence, are Misses Annie Grimes and
Matte King, of Mt. Pleasant, Mau
~ county, and Misses Medea Cole
and Laura Hassell. of Wayne coun
ty. During their stay here they
made many friends who now part
with them reluctantly, and whose
kindest wishes accompany them to
their homes. Should they see fit
to return TO Pulaski at any time we
promise them hearty welcome.
The session just closed has been
one of the most prosperous in the
history of the college, and it fully
attests the popularity of the pres
ent management. One hundred and
fifty five students were in attend
ance and the roster of the institu-
tIon shows seventy-tive per cent.
more boarding pupils than ever be
fore. The College now offers edu-
cational facilities equal to those of
any institution in the south and we
invite the attention of parents, at
home and elsewhere, to its superior
advantages in other respects. All
the elements that conduce to the
best sanitary conditions pure els
tern water, ample grounds, and
large, well ventilated study rooms
and sleeping apartments-ar there
to be found, while it is known to
everybody here that the table is
supplied with the very best the
market affords. The daily bill of
fare would do credit to a well kept
hotel. During The last session the
school was entirely exempt from
sickness, if we except a few cases
of measles, which are liable to occur
anywhere, and the pupils now re-
turn to their homes in perfect
health. We trust these important
considerations will have the effect
of increasing the attendance at the
fall session and evoke the best eff
forts of our people in behalf
of an institution of learning of
which they have great reason to be
proud.

Prospect.

Mrs. Mayes, mother of our esti
mable friend Mr.. r. f. Mayes, of
this place, died on the morning of
the 4th inst, of paralysis, with
which sad affiictIon she fingered
nearly eight years, almost entirely
helpless. Truly she endured her
portion of earthly sufferings, and it
pleaseth Him who doeth all things
well to call her to that home of rest
where pains and Affections are I'M
known. She was buried on the 9Th
near Bunker Hill. We heartily
sympathize with the relatives of
the deceased, especially Frank, who
watched and cared for her with the
deepest anxiety. Mr.. Swift is i'm
proving rapidly, and hopes are en-
tertalned that he may possibly get
up again.
Misses Booker and Media Mason
are visiting friends and relatives
In Pulaski. We notice quite com

elevation, for she is thoroughly
competent and indeed merits the
position.
We see your correspondent X, of
Lawrenceburg, complains of a
dearth of young ladies, and insists
upon the fair ones coming over and
taking first choice. Now, friend Y,
we have just the reversal dearth
of beaux-and if your gallants wish
to be suited just send them down.
We can boast of as beautiful and
charming young ladies as the state
affords, and guarantee a bargain if
they will pay us flying visit. Our
young ladies do not wish to COM
nit themselves by accepting your
proposition, admitting 1t is leap

The people to be called upon by
the census enumerators, would do
well if they also should adopt the
line of conduct marked out for the
Notwithstanding "untiring
patience and unfailing courtesy"
Everybody is interested in having
true return made with the fullest
attainable information in the lines
marked out by the superintendent
Of the census, for on the statistics
to be collected this year much flu
ture legislation may be based. 1t
is important, therefore, that the
foundation should be we'll and truly
laid. The enumerators themselves
have a delicate though not difficult
task, and every good citizen should
try TO aid them in their work by
answering cheerfully and fully all
the questions put to them. There
is law to compel responses, but it is
rot likely that this will have to be
invoked, especially as the informa-
ton gathered by the enumerators
is treated as confidential, and only
used i'll the compilation of general
tables

Pulaski.

Nashville Banner, June Sd.
New York is a great city," is
what little girl wrote on the black
board when instructed by the teach
err to compose a sentence. If this
little girl had known as much about
the capitol of Giles county as she
appeared to know about Gotham,
she would have written the sentence
thus: pulaski is a great town"
But, perhaps she had never been
permitted to visit Pulaski, and this
is unfortunate, for the reason that
no life can be complete without at
least one sight of the fairest of all
fair towns. Beautiful, cultured, re.
fined Pulaski! the birthplace Of
beauty and chigalry, the home Of
christian virtues, the garden spot
Of Tennessee, we salute you'll
On a bright, sunshiny day the
scenery about Pulaski is extremely
lovely, and at sunrise and sunset il
is sublime. 1t was peculiarly so
last Sunday. The day was one full
of the glory oil the spring time. The
sky was of heavenly blue, and the
air was deliciously sweet with the
aromatic odors of sweet-scented
flowers, and the fragrance OF the
fresh and tender blades of grass
that sprung from many a lawn and
plot. The perfume OF the rose and
sweetbrier filled the air, and all
things animate seemed TO be inius-
ed with new life and vigor. 1t was
such a day as always inspires the
true lover of nature with a longing
for an eternity in this world. The
loveliest spot about the town is
Martin College. This institution
has many attractions for the visi-
tor. Situated on a slight eminence
in the western suburbs, and sur
rounded on every hand by clusters
of magnolias, oaks and elms, their
every branch and twig hidden from
view with a wealth of green--the
richest of colors of natures own
blending-it is prettier than a pic
ture.
The institution is under the man
agement of Prof. w. X. Jones, an
accomplished gentleman and schol-
ar, and an educator whose abilities
it would be difficult to overate.

EDITOR CITIZEN Through the col
umns of your paper desire to express
my heartfelt gratitude to the people of
this community for their kindness and
sympathies extended to me in my late
affliction.
While the entire neighborhood have
lavished their good offers of words and
of deeds upon me, l feel constrained to
make special mention of Mrs. N. E.
Hardy, I. Ham, Mrs. j. I. Hammond,
Mr.. III. NJ. Bugg and DR.. NJ. B. Har-
wood, who have WED with each other
in anticipating my every want and
need. For eleven long weary months,
forgetful of home and self, Mrs. Hardy,
like commissioned angel, ministered
to her whose life was slowly wasting
away beneath the most dreadful of all
diseases, consumption. Truly we can
never appreciate the blessings of friend
ship until sickness and death invade
our homes.
As long as Ii he people of Brick
Church will occupy u bright spot in my
memory, and the remembrance of their
deeds will form the "silver lining of
the dark cloud that now overshadows
my life.
The earnest desire of my heart is that
l will one day be able in some way to
show my appreciation OF this people, for
language can not express it.

Death on the Street.

A young man named A. w. Prem
tice, aged about 25 years, died very
suddenly at Campbellsville Sunday
afternoon. He was walking on the
street, accompanied by a friend,
when violent hemorrhage pros
trated him, the blood gushing in
crimson torrent from his mouth and
nostrils and producing suffocation
from which he expired almost in.

with pulmonary diseases for some

verdict in accordance with the
above facts.

THE CRUSHED GRADUATE.
by A WRETCH.


She was schoolgirl graduate,
With schoolgirls used TO play;
But she got her sheep-skin and great
Big sixty-cent bouquet.
When she went home her dear mama
Met her with a pleasant look,
And said, SNOW, Mary Ann, pile in
And take my place as-cook."
But Mary Ann popped up her nose
And said, "Mama, | Won't.
What leone right out of school and cook |
You bet your socks l don't"
That anxious overbearing ma,
Like any mother should,
Hit Mary Ann beneath the ear
With great big stick Of wood.
So now that schoolgirl graduated
With pleasure in her eye,
Can cook n steak or wash a shirt
Or make a dish rag fly.
Her mother taught her what il was
To lead a useful life.
And forty chaps a running there,
Each wants her for his-cook.

The Wheat Crop.

From all parts of the county
we hear gloomy accounts of the
wheat crop, and the present har-
vest indicates a scant production
of that important cereal. In ia
vored localities the yield will not
exceed four bushels TO the acre,
while in many places the farmers
are turning their stock into the
fields to save the trouble and eX-
pense of cutting it. MIR. w. S.
Alternately, at Bufords, has a field
of 90 acres which he has turned
over to his hogs and we are in
formed that his example is being
followed by many other farmers.
The rust has been the potent In
strument of destruction and it
leaves our farmers without the
means of meeting obligations which
they expected to discharge out of
the proceeds of their wheat crop.
1t is fortunate, however, that our
staple production-cotton of which
larger acreage has been planted
than usual, is in fine condition,
promising an abundant yield and
compensation for the other def
cheney. The prospects OF a big
corn crop are also very encourag-
ing.
We cannot be undersold in Queens
ware. Our stock Is complete and house
keepers can get bargains for the next
80 days by dealing with us.
