The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1880-05-13

ing a mutual aid society OF this kind.
Quite an interesting party com
posed of Mr.. and Mrs w. j. Buch
anan, Miss Mary Bentley, Messrs.
Simms and Garrett left here this
morning for Clifton, where they in
tend to take a boat for Cincinnati,
in which city they will spend few
days, after which they will visit
Louisville and Nashville, taking in
the centennial show in the latter
city. No one more earnestly wishes
them a pleasant time than myself,
but the wish Is useless, for Miss
BIS wit will keep the party alive,
and no man with spark of appre.
citation of all that is beautiful and
intellectual in woman can be thrown
into her society without enjoying
himself.
We had the qualification of hear
ing two most excellent sermons
yesterday, by the Rev. w. L. Nixon.
He took occasion during the morn
ing hour to administer some whole
some truths to the church members
of Lawrenceburg on the condition
of the churches in this place. He
said the members were neither hot
nor cold, but entirely lukewarm
and that he did not believe there
had been $500 in actual cash given
to the cause of Christ in this place
since the war. We consider him
worth more money than that to his
congregation every year, for he is
certainly one OF the most interest
ing and cultivated young ministers
it was ever our pleasure to listen to
and if he was stationed where his
talents were properly appreciated
they would not offer him less thar
twice five hundred for his services
yearly.
The Rev. Mr.. Conner will be here
this week and mold the last quar-
terly conference, for this confer
ence year at the Methodist cnurcl
on next Sunday. He is a minis
ter of great ability and is very pop
ular, not only with his church
members, but all who meet him in
the social circle. We saw the gent
al face of the local editor OF the
Herald on our streets to-day. He
is always welcome, because he is
one of the best Bates in the
world. Mr.. w. Ii. Simonton will
leave for Pulaski on business in the
morning. He has his cotton anC
grist mills in fine running order
now, and we hope that money will
dow into his Golfers for there is
not better nor trueI friend living
than he. The inimitable Hugo
Borbeck passed through town on
his way to Clifton this morning.
He reports aOadiRg fine over on
Weakley. AS he came over ht
tried the Weakly shell road, found
it little unpleasant on the north
side and thought he would cross
over the creek to the south side
but he couldn't for he found him
self in nearly swimming water
here he could neither turn TouAc
or 90 forward, so he had To roll GU
in water up to his arm-pits, ant
push his vehicle back out on tina
good(2) road that Giles county
keeps up on the north side.
MIR. Tom Dunn and family, anC
j. Miller Sykes will leave for Nash
vile to see the centennial in til,
morning. That brilliant brunette
Miss Susie Loony, OF Maury, is Wis
iting her sister, Mrs j. b. Murphy
of this place. There is FRESHNESS
of health and a perfect beaut
about her face such as few earth
born people possess, and tina
Diana herself might have envieC
herself might have envied. She
general favorite here, consequent
ly always welcome. DER.
