Mr.. Al. Yokley has gone south
with a fine lot of mules. He is
quite an extensive as well as sue
cessful trader. Messrs. P. II. and
Fl. L. Yokley will also start south
in a few days with a fine lot of
mules and horses. Several valua
BILE horses have died recently
around here with blind staggers.
Mr.. d. G. Campbell lost very fine
mich COW from some unknown
cause. Messrs. H. A. and r. c.
English, who are active cattle deal
ers, are feeding about fifty head of
fine cattle for the spring market.
They have handled several car loads
of hogs this season and claim that
the producer got the profits. Stock
hogs have died but very little in
this locality with cholera or other
diseases. Sheep are in fine condi
ton, seemingly. Our surrounding
county does not furnish the sheep
for market that it might do with a
little more attention.
The christmas tree at this place,
like everything else superintendent
by such an efficient corps of ladies,
was q grand success-in fact, the
most magnificent tree that ever grew
in this section of country. Old
Santa Claus was well personated
and his liberality will be commended
when say that the tree was valued
at 5000. The house was crowded
to overlooking, and after the tree
was stripped of its burden, the sale
of the old bachelors and maids was
postponed through sympathy, al
though unmerited. Miss Julia
Harrison. of Spring Hill. has been.
visiting relatives in this vicinity.
Many hearts have acknowledged the
power Of her charms. Mr.. j. n.
Dickey, OF Hams creek, spent day
or two with old friends here. Mr..
D. ". Prentice, of Russelville, Ark,
is now spending few days among
Us on business trip. His family
is in Russelville where he will re-
turn soon. Messrs. B. F. Reddick
and g. p. Dew went to Columbia
recently on a visit. Mrs. Angus
spent several days in Maury visit
ing relatives. Mr.. Mark Alternately
has returned to his home in Arkan-
sas, where he holds the office of
county court clerk. A couple of
his young relatives followed him
shortly after he left. Rev. j. G.
Mckenzie and family, who are
highly esteemed here, visited us..re-
Gently. Messrs. W. B. and Ike
Walker have been among US, the
former visiting his father and the
latter his re.lt.Yls Mr.. George r.
Kenney is down on q visit. He
will continue in the practice of his
profession in Columbia. Mr.. Van
Kelsey, formerly of this neighbor
hood, but for some time engineer at
the Pulaski manufacturing mills, is
now circulating among his friends
here. Mr.. Robert Kimbrough and
family have been visiting relatives
and friends, this being the scene of
Mrs. Kimbrough's childhood. Rev.
G. W. Campbell, of Lynnville. and
his two lovely little daughters,
spent q few days witt. us. Despite
the enviable reputation the profess
sor has won at Lynnville, he has
yet a fondness for the place where
ne spent his youthful days. Mr..
John Caruthers paid US a flying
trip recently. He was in search of
mules and horses. Mr.. Martin
Sanders, of Ellis county, Texas,
paid visit to his brother, Mr.. John
Sanders. He is q polished gentle
man, and reports everything lovely
in the Lone Star State. Mr.. James
Goodman, of Bigbyville, is here on
business trip. Prof. j. E. Camp
bell has been selected as principal
OF the institute at this place.
The trustees have selected the right
man and put him in the right place.
Another advantage that will accrue
from his selection, is the probable
return of Miss Rebecca Wade, who
80 efficiently assisted him the past
year. She is lady of rare intelli-
gence and loveliness. Miss Ada
Walker has gone to Savannah to
attend school. Her absence leaves
quite q vacuum in social circles.
Miss MattieiW one of our vii
lage bellies, spent few days recent
ly on Weakley's creek. Old Grand
ma Hannah, who is in her 93d
year, enjoys good health, consider
ing her advanced age.
Mr.. j. N. Ross will soon take a
trip 20 Hickman county. for his
little daughter, Miss Sophia, who
has been attending school there.
Her beauty, which none can other
wise than admire, will soon be
transferred to Pulaski.
Mr.. j. NJ. Hannah made q grand
display OF strategeic talent some
time since. He went to the neigh.
borhood of Culleoka and there Sc
cured a grand prize in the person
of Miss Maggie Mckenzie. Bring
ing her to Rev. Mr.. McKenzie's he
was there quietly married, without
his most intimate friends knowing
it. Leaving her there he went
home like all other good boys and
waited to see the capers of the
young men, and, kind reader, many
they were. Just think of it!--mar.
ried for three days without any one
knowing it.
Mr.. j. NJ. English is visiting in
the neighborhood of Spring Hill.
Mr.. L. B. Hickman is lying very
low with consumption and has al
ready outlived his most sanguine
expectations.
Little Johnnie English, son of
Mr.. r. S. English, we are sorry to
say, is in a low state Of health and
his recovery is almost despaired of.
