ried last week, but that is no sign
we are going to allow Lynn to walk
off with that So gold-piece, without
making an effort, atfleast, on our
part, to make him fully deserve it.
However, we shall not endeavor to
surpass such an adept as he is in
gathering items of interest, but we
are disposed to believe that a little
competition for the prize will be in
teresting to your readers, and more
gratifying in the end to the victor.
Mrs. Lavinia Alternately, after an
absence of several years in the Lone
Star State, returned a few weeks
since to visit her relatives and
friends, and enjoy the scenes of her
early life. Mr.. H. t. Kimbrough
left last week for Arkansas. His
family accompanied him and we eX-
pect he will make his future home in
the land of swamps. Mr.. Rob't
Reed leaves to-day for Fl. Worth,
Texas, to visit his son who has been
living there for several years. Mrs.
Alternately and Mrs. Brown, of
Lynnville, will accompany him.
Mr.. Thos. F. Horne left last week
for Evergreen, Maury county, to en-
gage with Prof. Dortch as assistant
teacher of vocal music. Misses AL

were visiting here a few eve
nings since. Miss Alice is a very
nice young lady, and very pretty,
too. DR.. j. E. Carter wants to know
whether or not there is a young

hope so, fol. his prospects are rath-

Raising His Own Coffin.

When Capt. Stone, of Moundville,
West Virginia, settled in that place,
thirty-ive years ago, he planted two
seeds in the earth, remarking to
his family that he would like to
raise his own coffin. One of the
seeds died, but the other fourished
and from it grew a sapling, which in
time became fine tree. About a
year and a half ago a storm pros
trated the tree and he had it cut up
into lumber and sent to a Pittsburg
firm, which, in time, returned it in
the shape of a fine coffin. About
two weeks ago he was comfortably
laid away in the coffin for which he
had planted seed thirty five years
AGO.

Country Newspapers.

The following is what the Cincin-
nati Trade List thinks of those
characters who complain of their
county papers, and, instead of help
ing to support them, send on for a
large city paper and thus help to
Sustain them:
"a gentleman writes to us that
his county paper is SO poor that he
has stopped it; therefore sends us
three dollars for the Trade List.
We repeat that we do not want
subscribers on these terms. A
mans county paper is worth the
world, or if it is not it is his fault.
If the county paper is properly
encouraged it may be relied upon
for information of more value to
the people in whose interest it is
issued than can be found in all city
papers in the United States. No
man cal afford to be without the
paper that publishes the official ad-
vertisements of his county, the
public sales, markets, court news
and other local intelligence. If the
paper is poor, the people are more
at fault than the publishers for not
giving it n liberal patronage. How
ever poor the county paper may be,
it ia always worth more than it
costs to those interested in the af-
fairs of the county.

Friendship.

1t has been SO long since this
community was represented in the
columns of the CITIZEN, that have
concluded to break the painful 81
lence. Though we are not preten
tious, and don't aspire to the hon
ors of metropolis, we have some
claims to importance, tor within an
area of 600 yards square we have
five white dwellings, one beautiful
church edlfice, two wood shops
one blacksmith shop, one dry
goods and grocery store combined,
and one grist mill.
We have had but one death in
some time, that of Miss Bette
whose loss is deplored
by many friends. Her bereaved
mother is suffering with cancer
Gus affection of the nose and
mouth, and has the sympathy of the
entire neighborhood.
Mr.. G.. w. Hill has been canvass
ing the 18th district recently with
patent corn-sheller. Mr.. W.
McGrew is speaking of getting a
new patent drive wheel for his
grist mill, capable of running two
burrs. This will give him addi-
tional facilities for work and prove
a great benefit to the community.
Most of our people having finished
gathering their crops and killing
their hogs, are awaiting favorable
weather for sowing wheat. We
have made a moderate crop of corn
and about one-nalf a crop of cotton.
We have heard / some rumors
about mad dogs making their ap-
pearance at remote places in the
neighborhoOd, but SO far have seen
none of the rabid animals.
Mr.. E FL. Harwell, an enter
prising trader of the Pisgah neigh
borhood, was among US the other
day buying beef cattle. We are
disnosed to complain of the roads,
but have concluded to pull through
the mud in silence awhile longer
and trust in Providence for relief.

We learn that Col. A. II. Aber-
nathy is endeavoring to establish q
''Teachers' Normal SCHOOL, in Pu-
Iaski as early in January next as a
sufficient number of pupils can be
obtained. This is a move in the
right direction, as many of ou1
teachers, though they have sufficient
scholarship, are not cOnversant
with the modern improved methods
of teaching.
These Normal Schools, with. Nor
NAL School journals, are being es-
tablished all over the states where
public schools are most popular and
successful. Having been a pupil
under Col. AS tuition, the writer OF
this knows him to be well quail
fed for the undertaking. He is a
native of Giles county, and has had
every opportunity of acquainting
himself with schools, first in the
country, then at Wurtemburg Acad-
envy in Pulaski, where he was a pu-
pill for five years under the ablest
educators of that day; and, lastly, at
Nashville University, where he re-
manned until he graduated in the
fall of 1889, along with Doctor Sam
uel II. Stout, Doctor j. Berrien
Lindsey, John Overton, Hon. John
NJ. Bright and others, numbering
twenty-One, he being the youngest
member of the class. Very natu-
rally he treasures his diploma, which
is signed by DIR. Philip Lindsey,
then the President; Hon. John Bell,
Gov. James K. Polk, Gen. Andrew
jackson (Old Hickory J, and others,
trustees of the university. He has
been a teacher both in town and
country for the greater portion of
the last thirty-five years, and du-
ring his 10 years service as teacher
at Giles College, he was associated
with some of the best teachers in
the state, viz: Profs Jno. II. Stew
art, John I. Newbill, John A.
McRobert, Col. Charles @. Rogers,
Capt. w. r. Garrett, and others,
from whom he derived great benefit
in acquiring the art of teaching.
Besides, having been County Super
intendent of public schools for the
past two years, he has been in com
munication with most of the pub
fishing houses of the United States
and has secured facilities in the way
of books and school journals that
will enable him to lift our teachers
tout of the old ruts," and instruct
them in the most improved methods
of teaching.
