Lynnville Items.

Miss Alice Johnston, of Folks
creek, is visiting her sister Mrs.
Henry Stone of Marshall county.
Miss Alice Hannah. of Bigby
vile, Maury county. is again en-
livening this place with her charm
ing presence.
The directors of the 18th district
were anxious for the free schools
to commence Monday last. but the
bad weather and muddy roads rem
dered it impractica5le. The pa
irons generally prefer to have
summer session.
Prot, Campbell and Martin Hous
ton started out to canvass the coun-
ty-the former In the interest OF
Lynnville Academy and the latter
for 8 lot of beef cattle. They froze
up the first day and returned to
await more suspicious season.
Mr.. ohn r. Boyd and daughter,
Mrs. Harris, of Okolona, Miss,
are visiting our Mr.. John p. Boyd.
Mr.. John r. Boyd is n years Of
age and has not visited this place
in thirty years. As a matter of
course, things look strange to HIM.
Mr.. Fields Kellum was married
on the 18Th to Miss Anna, daughter
OF Mrs.S. A. Simpson, of Simpsons
Chapel. We heartily congl atulate
Fields on winning so worthy q
bride and it is certainly fattering
tn her charms that she has been
able to capture such a hardened
bachelor.
Prof. E. T. Fry has gone to take
charge Of Prospect Academy. He
has made fine reputation as a
teacher, but does not appear to be
as susceptible as he should to the
charms of the fair sex. We hope
some of the Prospect ladies have
an arrow in their culver that will
pierce his indurated heart.
Capt. E. H. F. Gordon will plant
this year 400 acres in cotton.
There are few more successful plan
tiers in Giles than the Captain. He
has twenty-nine families on his
lands, most of them white. He has
tried bite hands for a number of
years and finds them much more
satisfactory than the average negro.
Master Sutton. Of Hardeman
county, is domiciled at Prof. Camp
bells preparatory to entering the
academy. The Professor has been
notified of eight boarders he will
have next session. Theophilus
Lee will bring two or three boys
with him. He distinguished him
self highly for close application to
study last session.
Johnny Fry, of Big Creek, has
the boss hog Of Giles county. 1t
is of the Poland China breed, is
two years old and weighs 500 lbs.
gross. am assured that if it were
really fat it would weigh 1000 lbs.
Its daily rations consist Of so ears
of corn and two binds of fodder.
1t is little remarkable that the
animal should eat fodder, but it is
nevertheless true that it devours it
with avidity.
The people in the neighborhood
of Mr.. John Evans lwere greatly
disappointed when he took down
his mill and moved it to Bethel. 1t
had only been running two or three
months and a great many fine logs
had been cut with view to having
them sawed there. Mr.. and Mrs.
Braden, of near Pulaski, ARE visiting
at the residence Of the latter's ia
Their, DR.. Johnston, who is down
south with q drove of mules and
will probably remain there until
spring.
Mr.. H. NJ. Fleming, our cotton
buyer, is visiting his father at We
tumpka., and will be absent about
ten days. This leaves Lynnville
a cotton buyer for the
present, but the market has been
bare of the staple for some time,
owing to the bad weat Ter and hor-
rible roads. Corn has gone up TO
10 cents and is in demand. This is |
a consequence of the cold winter
and If the present weather contin-
les the stock Of feed laid by will |
De exhausted before the last of
March.
An old woman and some half
naked children have been living
lere in an old grocery house for |
he last three months. Her hus-
1aDd, drunken wretch, abandoned
Ter and they have subsisted on
charity ever since. Their charac
er and condition were such rs to
ender them a nuisance and the cit
zens of the town finally got rid of
hem by raising money enough to
tx them up decently and send them
If to Arkansas, ia charge of an
agent who says he will
make them pick cotton.
Mr.. j. +. Vancleave has moved
o and taken charge of the farm of
Ir. j. N. Grigsby, our efficient
Unstable, thus allowing the latter
Gentleman to devote his entire time
o the duties of his office. Thurs.
ay last was a field day for emigra-
IoA here. Eighty negroes and sew
raj whites got off for Arkansas.
here were four or five agents
resent, who, in most cases. paid
be fare OF the negroes. Among
be whites we're Andrew Harris and
Isa Simpson, who went out to see
ow they would like the country.
heir families will remain here
ntil they decide upon what they
ill do. {
