A lively stampede Occurred on
the square yesterday. Mr.. Coggin,
of the eastern part of the county,
brought load of fruit to town and
whilst dispensing IL in front of Mr..
Gross confectionery store his horse
took fright at something and dash
ed of, throwing Mr.. Coggin from
the wagon. His son George caught
the lines and held pluckily TO them
al great risk of his life until he sue
ceeGcd in running the wagon be-
tween a shade tree and the Iron
posts that support the awning in
front of FlauLt, Martin d Co.'s
hardware store. In the crash the
tongue of the wagon and double
tree were broken and the of horse
becoming free dashed off up First
Main street, taking the pavement
for his track and causing two other
teams on the street to break and
run, but fortunately no serious
damage was done except that Mr..
Coggin, in jumping from the wag-
on, strained his ankle slightly. We
are glad to know our friend Gross
made safe retreat lie didn't
consider the order of his going, but
vent at once. During the stampede,
Ir. Win Blow suddenly remem-
bered that his cid horse, Joe, had
been standing for some time with
his bride slipped, and seeing tho
danger, he rushed to the animal
and swinging his arms around his
neck held him to the ground until
all danger was over.

One of the handsomest speci-
mends of office furniture we have
seen, is a large book case made for
Messrs. Jones, Son & Ewing by
Williams q Watson. The material
is black walnut and white ash
worked together with much skill
and taste and the design is very
stylish and graceful, The wood
retains it's natural colors, but is
highly polished and oiled, and the
carving reflects great credit on the
skill and taste of the makers. We
are glad To learn that Messrs.
Williams 81 Watson are doing a
lively business, and have their
hands full of orders. Last week
they were dressing lumber for
twenty carpenters, besides fitting
up a store-room for Mayor Crow,
next door to the New York Store.
They are ac5ive and enterprising
business men and are il every way
worthy of the liberal patronage
they are receiving.

Our people are in excellent spir.
it's over the Cincinnati nomination,
and a broad smile illumines the
courtenance of every voter when
Hancock and English are spoken
of as the coming men.
Some interest is being aroused
and an effort is being made to es-
tablish a post road between this
point and Minnow Ford on Shoal
creek. 1t is very much meet ed,
and if we get it we will doubtless
be indebted to the untiring effort OF
our congressman for all benefits de
rived from the same.
Messrs. Edwards and Beasley,
two of our most energetic, enter
prising and thoroughgoing men, are
through with the threshlng season
and have rolled their machine un
der the shelter. They. report two
thousand bushels threshed on an
acI cage that usually yields three
times that amount.
We are pleased to see a decided
Improvement wrought upon the
public road passing through our
village. We think that Mr.. Ed
wards, the overseer, deserves credit
for the excellent style in which he
has prepared our road for the rains
and freezes of winter.
Last Sunday morning at 10
O'Clock Mr.. Bell Griggs led the
charming and Lovely Miss Alice
Keaton to the hymeneal altar, and
in the presence of a number OF
friends Esquire Reed solemnized
the rite of matrimony, and the
youthful couple consummated their
VOWS of eternal fidelity. The happy
couple, in company with a sister OF
the BRIDE and a brother of the
groom, left this morning for Lynn
will. May peace, happiness and
prosperity attend them. May they
glide gently down the stream of
lie without a single wave to mar or
disturb their peaceful voyage.
Little Logan, son of Mr.. n. S.
Beasley, is dangerously i'll with ty-
phoid fever.
Quite a number of visitors have
honored our village with their pres
ence recently.
DR.. r. B. Benson, of Nashville, is
rusticating with friends in this vi
entity and will probably locate
somewhere in the surrounding
nelghborhood. He is a Jolly, good
fellow and deserves a great many Of
the good things of this world.
Prof. D. B. Coleman and sister,
Miss Minnie, from Athens, Ala,
were the guests of their uncle, Mr..
Il. F. Lester, for a few days recently.
We hope the time passed pleasantly
with them, tor seldom has it been
our good fortune to meet so enter
tanning a couple. We hope they
will come again. Mrs. James A.
White and Miss Mamie White,
from near Pulaski, spent two or
three days last week as guests of
the same host.
Mrs. Tankerly and her sister,
Miss Claud, of Nashville. are stop
ping with relatives in our midst.
Miss Ophelia Cardweu, of Pros
pect, chee-ed us with her genial
presence and smiles a short time
since. Several other important
personages have given us the bene-
fit OF their most bewitching smiles
of late, among whom we notice our
gallant young friend, the coming
NJ. D., of Poplar Hill. He came
well, to tell US all good by before
going of TO Wales.

1t seems as though the rains are
over for awhile and farmers are re-
newing their efforts to get their
crops clean again. We had fine
showers Friday and Saturday last.
Crops are very promising, especial
ly cotton, which is considered the
best ever known in this country at
this season of the year. There are
already enough squares and blooms
to make a very good crop. English
Boatright, one of our best practical
farmers, who lives on Blue creek,
informs us that he has 100 acres OF
corn all laid by, in fine condition
also so acres in stock peas and 100
fine hogs to eat the corn and peas.
He says the cholera has made it's
appearance among his pigs. We
intend to give your readers a com
plete preventative of the disease
soon.
Moses Dogget had ripe peaches
on the 4th.
Our enterprising citizens, DIR.
HARDWOOD and g. II. McMillion,
have contracted for a section OF
the Brick Church and Buford
Station road to keep it in repair
and it is noticed that their section
is in the best condition of any part
of the road. Most of this impor-
tant road is in bad condition and
this is the case with most Of our
roads.
Mr.. B. W. White furnished the
Pulaski market with some fine
lambs last week, from his farm IN
this neighborhood. Some of our
neghbors have sweet potatoes large
enough for the table. This crop
is very promising.
learn from the threshermen of
this section that they have threshed
wheat as follows this season: Roth
rock d Burgess, 1900 bushels;
James Moore & Co., 1920 bushels;
6. H. McMillion 81 Co., 400 bush
els; George Oliver d. Co. think
they will thresn 5000 bushels.
They are at work in the neighbor
hood of old Lynnville. Oliver says
he has threshed some very fine
wheat. Moore 81 Co. say good
deal that they threshed was very
sorry.
l notice that w. A. Rothrock has
cut and put his meadow hay up in
fine condition.

We met the smiling face of Maj.
Roy at our burg last Thursday.
We are always glad to meet him, as
he never fails to have smile and a
kind word for all.
Mrs. 2. ID. KIncaid, relict of d.
NJ. Kincaid, has been in bad health
for some months, and we fear is
gradually declining. Mr.. Marion
Parks, a good citizen of this neigh
borhood, is afflicted with consump-
ton. Thomas Shadden, from Texas,
is visiting friends and relatives in
this neighborhood. He left last
week for home, taking with him two
families of the Chapmans.
William Doggett, on Blue Creek,
had a fine milk COW to die Saturday.

Mrs. G. N. Wall, accompanied by
her mother, Mrs. Stilwell, left for
Humboldt, Tenn, yesterday 20 spend
the summer. The suddenness of her
departure prevented her from call

all with gratitude, especially Doc

valuable professional services were
so kindly placed at the disposal of

Mr.. Lee Rosenau looks solemn
very solemn. 1t is the third time,

him. however.

three yearling Cotswold bucks. Mr..
Carter sold to the same party eight
ewes from the same flock last fall.
Mr.. Henry reports that these
ewes are doing well. We are glad
to note such evidences of increas-
ing interest in stock growing by our
southern people. With proper eff
fort our Giles county stock growers
can command large share of this
growing trade.

We beg the indulgence Of the
readers of the CITIZEN this week.
Sickness of a very serious charac-
ter in the family of our associate,
and the cares and anxieties it en-
tailed upon our own, the disease
being of an infectious character,
have allowed US but little time for
editorial work. We know our
readers will comprehend the situa-
ton, and we feel that they will
cheerfully excuse us under the cir
cnmstances.

We would call attention to DR..
CAROLS card in another column
giving notice of the opening of his
school in September. The Doctor is
too well known among US as an cd
ucator to need an introduction
here. His circulars will be out to-
day in which we notice a large
number of gentlemen referred TO,
all of whom, with the exception OF
two, have been his patrons. The
eminent character of those giving
testimonials, Is sufficient warrant
for his ability, not only to instruct
but to manage the school IN all Its
parts.

The ladies of the c.. P. Church
are arranging for a dinner to be
given on the first Monday in Au-

hereafter. They also expect to
give an ice cream supper, probably
in the courthouse yard, on the
night of the same day. The pro-

be applied for the benefit of the

laudable an object Will elicit sub

Col. T. J. Cox, of Alabama, offers to
the farmers of Giles his celebrated
wrought iron presses and powers. We
have no hesitation in endorsing them
fully. He is the Press man of the
south, owning a number of different
kinds, some extremely cheap, but he
says, and experience proves it, cheap
presses won't do your work. They will
break down. He guarantees that with
cheap work, but he guarantees the Mis-
bet not to break, and should il do so
under his guarantee, he will promptly
replace it free of charge, except the
simple freight. He lives so close, Ath-
ems, Ala, that you can com municate
with him in an hour. iulyS-3t

After refreshments the bridal par
ty, with a few friends, started for
the home of the groom in the
southern part of the county. Ar
rived about L o'clock. The recep-
ton they met was an ovation that
spoke stronger than words the graf
ulations of hearts. Not less than
two hundred of the doctors patrons
and friends had gathered to vel
come his fair bride to her new
home. When dinner was an
nounced, one glance assured us that
all would be Toasted to their hearts
content. There was no vulgar dis
play, but it was a real genuine good
dinner. Everything was in good
taste. Late in the afternoon the
crowd gradually dispersed, leaving
only the bridal party, who spent the
evening as pleasantly as could be
expected alter going through the
excitement of the day. OF course
your lady readers will expect your
reporter to report the paraphernalia
of the fair bride and maids, but un-
fortunately he is a bachelor and
feels that he is not equal to the
task. That a union begun under
such pleasant circumstance will
prove blissful, none can doubt. We
tender our hearty God speed.
In thinking over the pleasures of
the trip, we would not forget to
tender our thanks to that sweet en-
chantress of the heart for the bon
tonnier received. She has all the
graces and knows exactly how to
make as feel happy.
Giles was well represented; among
