QuenJly moved TO Mr.. William Xiv
ers' place in the 18th district. It
appears that he went to Pulaski
about ten days ago; and INDUCED
rather freely in liquor. He was
seen on the following day, but since
then has not been heard from, al
though diligent inquiry and search
have been made for him.
Our obliging postmaster, Mr.. r.
j. Montgomery, on Thursday last,
counted the copies of the CITIZEN
that come to actual subscribers at
this Office and found there were 50.
This certainly makes LSnnville the
banner office on your list, and yet
l know of at least a dozen more
who intend to take the paper next
year. believe Lynnville will 90
up to par with the New Year-that
is to say, run the number of her
subscribers up to 100. If she does,
Brother Lynn, we will owe much of
our success to you-EDs. CITIZEN.
Mr.. w. G. Carter had a fine Cots
void eve killed this week by dogs. -
1 am sure 1 never saw so many
worthless ours wandering about the
country. Many of them were doubt
less abandoned by negroes going to
Arkansas. Nothing but a vigorous
use of lead will rid the country of
these nuisances. Mr.. Carter in
forms me that he made this year,
with the assistance of one laborer
only, 400 barrels of corn.
Elisha Hindman, who has only
one leg, has just marketed two fine
bales of cotton the product of one
patch worked by himself He did
all of the hoeing and most of the
picking. Rather plucky for a one
legged man.
j. NJ. Shields, esq, went to Co
lumbia Tuesday to see his sister,
Mrs. Harriet Henderson, depart for
Texas. She is an excellent lady
and has raised a large family of
boys, several of whom are in Texas
doing well.
Three miles west of Old Lynn
vile live a family named Boatright,
consisting of two bachelor brothers,
aged about 20 years each, = maiden
sister aged about SO, all of whom
are deaf and dumb; and q widowed
sister, Mrs. Mcknight, also adj
vanced in years. These old people
are all tenderly cared for by two
young men, sons of Mrs. Mcknight,
one of whom (James) fell u victim
to dreadful malady this fall. While
chasing a runaway hog he became
overheated, which led TO brain fever
and he is now hopelessly deranged.
He was loved and respected by all
who knew him and his pitiable con-
dition excites the sympathy of
everybody.
One of our old and highly re-
spected citizens, Mr.. Branch Hick-
man, is very low with consumption
and can scarcely speak above whis-
per. The seeds of his fatal disease
were sown In 1879. Mrs. Ben Fol
lis is dangerously ill with pneumo-
MIA OF the residence of her father,
Mr.. William Casky.
Mr.. j. G.. Roller, of Midtown, was
here Saturday to arrange transpor
tation for some parties going TO
Texas. Mr.. Roller says he depre-
Gates the emigration fever that is
taking off so many of our citizens,
and wants to give them cheap trans
portation going so they will have
money enough TO come back on
He believes all who have means TO
do so will return after awhile.
Brice West and Henry McMillion
with several hounds,got off TO Texa
Monday morning. Ellis county is
their destination and cotton raising
will be their avocation when they
get there. They are from the Blue
Creek country and are the sort of
men we can't afford TO lose.
1t will be a matter Of surprise TO
some to hear that Jack Martin is
on his feet again after the arrival of
that bouncing boy. AS this is the
first we dub him Alpha, and insist
on that being his given name.
Mrs. George Witt, of near Pulas-
XII, who has been sick at the resi-
dence of her father, Mr. j. G. John
ston, for two weeks past, was able
to leave for home Saturday last.
Mr.. John NJ. Wright, of Lin
coin county, who has bought the
Robt. j. Gordon place at Lynnville
is moving down. Those who know
him say he is a very worthy gentle
and a good business man. Mr..
Bayless who has occupied the place
for so long, goes to Marshall coun-
ty. He is an industrious man and
the father of a numerous lot of
good looking girls. LYNN.
