The young ladies and gentlemen
of the Bee Spring neighborhood
gave an entertainment Friday night
last. for the purpose of raising
funds to complete the improve

on their beautiful church. We are
informed by the venerable VIM. Ste

We are hard to please. Only
ten days ago we were complaining
of too much rain, now we are appre-
hensive of dry spell and are muir
muring accordingly. Really, though,
we need a good rain.
Cotton that was worked since
the wet spell is shedding some
but the prospect for a large
crop is very catering. Among
the many fine crops of the staple in
this section, cannot refrain from
mentioning that on the farm OF Mrs.
w. T. Gordon. 1t was worked by
Mr.. Crunk, and is decidedly one of
the best l have ever seen.
The largest hsymakers in this
section are Messrs. r. III. Laird
and j. K. P. Black burn. The latter
has just put up 8 or 10 acres of
clover in very fine condition.
The enterprising citizens of Brad
shaw are building a commodious
school-house, 26x40 feet. The
work is being rapidly pressed for
ward TO completion.
Prof. James Tinnon opened
school at the Jack Jones school
house on Blue creek last Monday.
The walnut lumber business is
exciting some interest among our
farmers. Esq. James Burgess and
Mr.. John Moore are engaged in
hauling logs to Buford's Station.
u. NJ. Gordon will also engage in
the business this week. This will
bring some money into the country
and soon clear it of this valuable
timber.
Little Maggie, daughter of Mr.. j..

ted for several days by solar heat, is
convalescing. Mrs. Diana Kincaid
continues in very precarlous con-

TO make the evening pleasant one.
A recent shower had cooled the at
mosphere, and the moon shone
brightly in its second quarter, which
enabled the young folks to enjoy
delightful promensdes in the charm
ing grounds surrounding the
church. We forgot for the nonce
the fatigue OF a long ride in the
sun, and lived our youth over again
in the bright scenes around us.
The seats OF the church had been
removed to give room tor the deco
rations, which were most elaborate
and tasteful. One side of the
church was set apart for the ice
cream tables and separated from
the rest of the building by a lattice
work Of cedar, dotted all over with
fresh natural flowers OF every hue
Graceful wreaths wound around th,
pillars and various devices and mot
tos of evergreens ana flowers, GOV
cred the walls. In the center was
a very unique and clever imitation
of a well, surrounded by oddh
shaped rocks covered with moss,
ferns, grapes anu flowers, ali ~
fresh and pretty as VT en- in Their

with iced lemonade, which wa
drawn from it by means of an OLD

over by oar old friend, Randolph
Neil and bis beautiful and accom-
pnshed Dung bride. She assumed
the character of Rebecca, but Ran
dolph, as Isaac, instead of sending
his servant, came himself. The
proceeds Of the supper, we under
stand, amounted to over 800,
which handsome sum illustrates the
liberality of the people of the
neighborhood and their affection
for the Church. We snail often re-
cur with pleasure to this delightful
occasion, and the kind attentions so
lavishly bestowed on the CITIZEN S
representative will not soon pass
from his recollection.

THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES.
A Voice From Eikton clamoreth
for a Suroeass Of Billiards
and Ten Pins.
For the CITIZEN.

For the CITIZEN.
Now il came to pass, in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-nine, that the
mighty men of Elkton gathered
themselves together and said: BE
hold. life is getting too awfully mo
notonous; we have mixed pizen and
read stupid books, and fished and
hunted, and stood round the church
doors and stared at the ladies till
life has become q burden almost.
We long for something new; we de
sire that the world look on us with
envy and admiration" Then the
chief OF the host arose and said {:
Let US open billiard hall or ten
pin alley" Now, this was bril-
liant remark, a happy thought, and
it called forth loud and prolonged
applause. And the captain OF the
host consulted with the haif-dozen
and dozen, and certain OF them had
charge of the making of the balls,
and others gathered themselves to
gether and made ten pins, winch
are knocked down even snto this
day. Now, it came to pass after
this that the valiant men OF Eikton
gathered themselves together day
after day, Sunday excepted J, at the
'.billiard hail." or "ten pin alley"
or loafels retreat, or whatever you
may call it, and smote on those bill
lizard balls and watched them roll
down the counter" and knock
those ten little balls in heapi Ha!
ha! such fun! Talk about your intel
lectual feasts, your books and your
music,and your prayer meetings,and
your churchesl Now, our good pas
tor held series of meetings recent
ly, and we pondered deeply, and
thought within our hearts: "Sure-
ly this game will cease for season."
Nay verify. We sat in the sanctu
airy and listened to the preaching of
the gospel, and the sound of those
rolling balls fioated in through
the open windows, grating harshly
on our ears and echoing through
the sacred place. Now it came to
pass in those days that the captain
OF the host and his chief armor-
bearer shouted in an exceeding
loud voice, "Hurrah! Ten pins
forever" And the words are ech-
DING even unto this day, and the
balls are rolling now as 1 write.
Behold! how funny the game must
be. Such shouting and clapping of
hands, and stamping of feet. One
would think that the National Dem
ocratIc Convention was being held
in our midst Men and brethren,
we insist that you conclude this
eight months game of billiards.
Enough of a thing Is enough.

Mr.. W. G. Guthrie, whose testi-
monial are published in to-days
CITIZEN, has joined Mr.. Mann in
the purchase of the Giles College
property, and will be equally inter
ested with that gentleman in the
management of the school. Their
plans for improving the property
are on the most liberal scale and
we feel assured when these are car
cied into execution that Pulaski
can boast of as handsome aid we'll
equipped male school as can be
found il the state. The business
OF the school, which
will be introduced during the ap-
preaching session, will add greatly
TO its popularity and enable the
boys, if they choose, to obtain a
pr actical business education which
will qualify them for entering up
ON commercial life Immediately af-
ter they leave school. This de-
partment will be under the manage
ment OF a graduate OF Eastman's

lieve that they will be pleased with
him as a teacher and find him
worthy OF being beloved by :ali

A Snake Story.

EDITOR CITIZEN "A short time
ago one of our well to do citizens,
living within two miles of Aspen
Hill, had terrible experience with
a snake IN his bed; producing the
widest excitement in the whole
family. 1t occurred about as fol
lows: He had been to the station
in the evening and received the
newspapers of the day in order to
get the facts with regard to the
Hancock-English case. After the
children had retired for the night,
he seated himself by the lamp and
pored over his papers with in
creasing interest. Profound silence
reigned, except the quiet breathing
of Jim, the housekeeper and the
two little girls that occupied beds
in his own loom. He was so bust
lily engaged that the hours sped by
almost unnoticed. At, eleven he
laid aside his paper with 2 yawn,
fixed his eyes thoughtfdlly on the
blaze of the lamp for some time
whife be smoothed down the few
scattered hairs which renamed upon
his pate. At last with a sigh which
meant three cheers for Hancock, he
arose and began to undress. Soon
his boots, trousers and all were in
their proper places; with puff the
lamp went out, and he stretched
Simselfis etsnso on the lounge for the
night. But just as he had settled
himself for a nap, he felt something
squirming and moving under his
leg, and the thought occurred to
him that it was 2 snake, and then
followed a scene which would be
hard TO describe. He sprang from
his bed like cat, mounted the bot
tom of q chair in the middle of the
loom trembling, capits dd colceps.
placed his hands on his sides,
listened and tired to see until the
sweat came to the surface from
every pore, and his eyes seemed to
stand out like door-knobs, but he
could not see or hear anything
except the humping of his heart,
which reminded him that he was
still alive. Then he yelled: "J-J-
jim! what in the thunder is this in
my bedP / believe it's a snake"
Before Jim could open his eyes and
speak, he shouted again: 20 Ben
Bubl strike light and bring it in
here, mighty quickl Bring a stuck
and well kill the confounded
thing"
The members of the household
rushed in indiscriminately and
gathered around the bed; the cover
was pulled down cautiously, but no
snake was found. A bulge in the
mattrss indicated that it was in
side. How did it get in was the
question. 1t was soon found that
it entered through an opening at a
seam IN the tick. He then COM
menced probing cautiously and
every moment expected to see his
snakeship's head. Directly dark
''Rattlesnake! Every body stand
brown object was seen and he cried !:
backp' He raised his stick and
would have dispatched it on the
spot, had he not been afraid of dam
aging the bed. At this important
juncture his little six year old
daughter awoke and seeing such
confusion, asked: "What are you
doing Pap "You lie still, / am
trying to kill this snake that's in my
bed" "Why, that's no snake, Pa,
its my old benny. / put her in
there just to make her quit set:
tin"
That was enough; the hen was
set at liberty, the boys went to bed
and our hero was himself again.

Elias Rogers, who lives on John
Patterson's land near Elkton, was
shot by some unknown person
while going home from Pulaski Sat
urday afternoon. He was riding
along the road at a point near the
Mason farm, when a pistol was
fred at him from a cornfield, the
ball entering his hand and penetra-
ting his wrist, where it was found
and extracted by DR.. Williams, of
Elkton. Mr.. Roger does not
know of any one who has grudge
against him, and can only account
for the shooting on the ground
that it was accidental, or that he
was mistaken for some other per-
son.

most formidable case, is entirely
well, and the two children of Mr..
