The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1880-11-11
LynnVille Items.

A party from Old Lynnville, con-
sisting of Bird Matthews and John
Moore, and their families started
for Texas Monday. Mr.. Matthews
is good mechanic and Mr.. Moore is
a stirring farmer whom we cannot
afford to lose. Besides. they are
both good Democrats and we do
not like to see that sort of material
leaving the community just now.
In few days Mr.. j. f. Terry will
leave for Arkansas for the purpose
of locating there. We are sorry to
see the emigration fever attacking
so many of our people.
Mr.. and Mrs. Skid Hodge, each
about 20 years of age, are visiting
their children in Arkansas. We
hope they will enjoy the trip and
find their offspring well and pros
porous. Mrs Wilsford, who is
more than 70, has just returned from
visit to her children in Texas.
She Dlade the round trip in less than
80 days and bore the journey re-
markably well for one Of her age.
She saw much she liked out there,
but SAYS she prefers her old Ten
neeoco hume.
Shipping hogs is now in order,
and a carload of porkers leaves
LyEnville nearly every day. One
thing | observe about these porkers
they are not as fat as they should
be, and yet l heard the seller say
they were eating up all his corn.
Corn is light to what was expected
snd the surplus is changing hands
at $3.50 per barrel. Pork brings
$3.50 gross.
l do not like to boast.or make in
vidious comparisons, but 1 cannot
but feel proud of Lynnville's repu-
tation as a cotton market. In this
connection allow Ae to say that Mr..
Hill, living on Mr.. Backburn's
place, carried a load of cotton to
Pulaski, but not liking all the feat
ures of that market brought it
back to Lynnville where got $50
more for the load than he was OF
fered there.
Our Hancock club felt so deuced
lY glum the day after the election
that they talked seriously of cutting
down their pole and making bonnet
strings of the flag; but on reflection
they concluded to let the bunting
wave and donate it to "the god
of storms-the lightning and the
gale" Lynnville did her duty,
though, however badly the rest of
the country behaved.
Mrs. j. d. Towner, of Huntsville,
arrived at her fathers, Hon. R. M.
Bugg, Saturday last, and will make
her home there in the future. She
comes to cheer the home circle of
which she was once the brightest
ornament. Mrs. Bugg, we are sor
ry to learn, has been in very feeble
health for a long time, being per
sistently troubled with chills. She
is not able TO sit up, and we miss
the merry Jokes and genial compan-
ionship of our old friend, the
Squire. He, too, is sorely afflicted
with asthma.
Our town is soon to have a new
merchant from the blue grass region
of Kentucky. He was out prospect
ing for a healthy and desirable bus
mess location, when Lynnville
struck his fancy, and we feel flat
tered at his choice. We hope his
fondest anticipations will be real
lied. He will occupy the house
formerly occupied " Mrs. Smith,
who has gone to Lincoln county.
We are sorry that our young
friend, Dr. Mark Clark, found it to
his interest to leave us. We hoped
he would flourish like the green bay
tree, but the fact is, this community
is too healthy for any doctor to
grow rich in. Mrs. Malone has re-
moved her STOCK of millinery goods
to the office lately occupied by DR..
Clark. We learn that Mrs. Frank
/ Pettus is in very poor health and
has been confined to her bed for the
past four weeks.
Mrs. James Wilson, who was so
severely paraly gets no better.
Her daughter, Mrs. Tom Brown, of
Dallas, Texas, Is still with her.
The early wheat is looking finely,
but it is said the HessIan fly has at
tackled it. Mr.. d. p. Carter will
move into his new residence next
week and set up housekeeping with
his young wife. We are always
glad to see the young folks start
of with everything new. We rather
expect the young people will give
Porter a house warming when he is
fairly installed in his new quarters
LYNN.
