The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1880-01-08
Parker's Store.

The coming of old Kris to this
community was attended by rain,
siush and mud; and the unwilling
of his mistic countenance was in
the midst of a cold, bleak northern
night. That is to say that we did
not acknowledge his arrival until
the night of the Goth when he pre-
sented the people of this communi-
ty with Christmas tree at Hebron,
laden with presents rich and rare
candies for the babies and kisses
for the ideal sweethearts. The
right or business to arrange was
given to Misses Ella Rogers, Flor
ence Cheatham and Fannie Parker.
To their taste we owe the beauty of
its arrangement Kris could not
have made a better selection. Ex-
cept the absence of tapers to illumi-
nate the scenery, the tree came up
to the expectations of the managers
and places our community on the
list equal with her neighbors and
dispels the idea that Hebron is not
equal to such task.
The young people seem to have
been on a boom since the advent of
Christmas. Christmas dinners and
Christmas frolics have been all the
go-indeed it seems that everybody,
from the grave persons of sixty
down to the gus hing young Ameri-
cans, have been exceeding jovial.
Cid age and youth took down the
lines of distinction and mingled
their convivial spirits to celebrate
the holidays.
Permit me to say in conclusion
with the Christmas tree that the
miniature "Crib" was intended for
A. M. Hays. Such articles are EN-
inently essential to the nursery,
but we have not as yet set up that
department. When that is done
enc with two rockers will be pre-
ferred.
On Tuesday preceding Christmas
Mr.. A. M, Hays celebrated his nup
tale and was given a reception at
the residence of bis father near
Campbellsville. Judging by the
samples sent to this sanctum we
concluded that it was a grand affair.
Our teeth set just right to crush
such daiaties and the kind donors
are assured the package was highly
appreciated and greatly enjoyed.
We wish him and his lovly bride
nee Miss Emma English u long life
of pleasure and happiness.
Among the number who visited
Parker's Store during the holidays
was Miss Mollie Tidwell of Pulaski
whose smiles added to the pleasures
of one at least while her genial pres
ence was appreciated by all, and
Messrs. Dan Anthony of Aspen Hill
and Newton Smithsonian Vale Mills.
Some idea of the attractive infu-
ence of our burg can be had when l
say that one of them was found
PROSTATE at the feet of his beau
ideal while the other put on his
gloves five times preparatory to
making his exit; but Cupid charmed
him to the spot, while one of our
boys was waiting for him to start
so that he could have his say
Strange to say his gloves would fit
either hand. There; we will let the
future tell the rest.
Mr.. j. M. Parker of Newbefn,
Dyer county, is up on a visit to his
relatives and friends. Anybody
would return to their old hsunts
when a pair of laughing eyes and a
countenance beaming with smiles
are the chief attractions. Come
again, Mon. Perhaps some one is
waiting for thee.
Mr.. d. p. Cameron of Pleasant
Valley has left those haunts and
took up his residence on the old
farm. We welcome him and his
family back to the old stamping
ground. This is a new year, and it
is likely to be fraught with acci
dents and incidents that will in
volve the interest of the whole
country. Political demagogues will
stir it to its very depths, and strive
to keep the people in state of pc
litical excitement. We should
make new resolves and try to keep
them. Let the farmer sing his
songs as he opens up the deep fur
rows; let the mechanic cut his shaw
ing, and the smith respond to the
song of the anvil, and the merchant
vend his goods and keep out OF pol
itical muddles and we will profit by
it. The rushing of the coming
elections is already heard in the
distance. The crushing of the bone
of contention is sending its grating
sound all through the country and
the gatherers of the fragments are
in a splutter. The return of good
times and good prices should great
ly encourage to dable less in poll
tics and engage in agricultural and
mechanical pursuits.
Rev. James Orman held his first
quarterly meeting at Hebron last
Saturday and Sunday. The people
seemed very well pleased with him.
AS the CITIZEN goes into a new
management it may be that the new
editor will not want any scribblings
from mt in the future. Ii so this
article will be poor valedicEory,
bat here goes to the health OF the
retiring editor and success To the
new one, and q happy neW year 10
ala social smoke.
