LOCAL ITEMS.

Rev. Geo. w. Mitchell, OF Athens,
Ala, is in town.
Rev. Sanders, OF Alabama, better
known as the sleeping preacher" was
at Old Lynnyille Sunday.
Don't fail to attend the primaries next
Saturday and send representative men
to the county convention on the Sth
inst.
Henry l.. Ballentine, Midshipman
United States Navy, arrived in Pulaski
yesterday and will enjoy a brief fur
Tough at home.
Several interesting communications
are unaYoida bly, deferred until next
week. The letter of our valued Lynn
vile correspondent reached us too late
for its appearance in this issue,
A young lady of excellent family,
who is thoroughly competeny to teach
music, would like to obtain class In
some school or neighborhood in Giles
county. Address M. c., care CITIZEN
office.
A gentleman named Rambo, of the
Brick Church neighborhood,w while haul
ing rails for Or. HARDWOOD last week
was Frustrated with sunstroke. He has
been suffering greatly ever since, and
his recoverery is considered doubtful.
Mr.. Gale Thomas, of LynnYille, sus-
tanned serious loss last week by the
death of his fine turf horse "Harvey."
The animal got TO bin of oats of which
he psrtook so heartily that he died in a
few hours. A few days before his death
he made full quarter of a mile in 80
seconds.
We hope the example of the young
democracy of Pulaski in organizing a
Hancock and English club will be fol-
lowed by the young men of the county.
Apathy on the part of the people came
near defeating a favorite democratic
candidate in this county a few years
ago, and it may seriously ieopardize the
success of the party now. Organize,
young gentlemen, and put your shout
der to the wheel during the canvass.
Col. r. NJ. Edwards, the greenback
candidate for governor, GRATED duently
and without regard TO the flight of time
to a small and rather languid audience
at the court house Thursday last, He
is a ruddy-faeed, open-mogthed old gen.
tleman, who carries along with him an
assortment Of decrepit Jokes which win
be sure to command respect in any
christian community on account OF
their advanced age. He imploreu the
people to vote for Wilson If they
couldn't support HIN. As the tracks Of
the green back leaders lead straight into
the republican camp, this bit of advice
was rather significant.
lt was very generally remarked that
the paper read by DIR. Il. b. Harwell be-
fore the State Teachers, Association, ON
Agriculture in the Public Schools was
one of the most valuable PRODUCTIONS
listened TO by thar body. The subject
is one TO which DR.. Hsrweli has given
much thought, and he succeeded Ia i'm
pressing his views so thoroughly upon
the legislature thatit Incorporated them
in law which enables the pupils OF
our public schools % acg-ire practical
and scientific knowledge Of agficultlre
as a part pf their education. We be-
neye Il ls pretty generally understood
now that DIR. L.upton's late valuable
work on this snt9ect was inspired by
DIR. Harwell's previously expressed
views, and II must be gratifying 70 the
latter TO know that the author has had
the grace to acknowledge the indebted
ness. Col Trousdale also did the prop
or thing when be placed the seal OF his
approval on DR.. Harwelrs work.
