Take it all-in-all, this year wlll
long be remembered as one of un.
common features in weather. Pre-
cedent offers no basis for prognosti-
cations. Prophets fail to tell a day
ahead. All have gone astray.-
None are right, no not one. All
those weatherwise persons will have
to acknowledge they are idiots as to
futurity. l find l am moralizing
rather than giving facts. 1 only
pause to say, we are in the midst of
the second summer of 81. Friday
the thermometer reached 81 in the
shade. Springs, wells and creeks
are drying up. All summer the
dull thud as the bombardment of
Vlcksburg has been heard on all
sides. People sinking wells.
venture to say the number of wells
in this vicinity have doubled this
summer. Three families leave Old
Lynnville Tuesday for Arkansas;
Mr.. Frank Lynch's, Dallas Peatree's
and his fathers. All of them are
men of character. We regret to
give them up but wish them and
theirs success in their western
homes. They are all our especial
friends. Like sensible men they
are, they say they will have the
CITIzEs when they locate, Iheard
man say who just returned from a
distant state that he would not do
without the CITIZEN for $40 a year.
Mrs. DR., Robt. Carter of Rodenn
ham mas been visiting her sister,
Mrs. VIM. Lock, for the past week.
Mrs: 1. has had Q serious attack of

danger. Mrs. c. returned Saturday.
wells, the Nashville beef man,
shipped two car loads of beef and
hogs Saturday night. I'D. N. Grigsby
has had two very sick children for
some time. They are thought to be
slightly better. The friends of the
N Montgomery House suggest it would
be capital advertisement if Reece
Fry and Casper Isaacs would paste
on their aldermanic stomachs"Board |

Mrs. Betsy Compton |
had dangerous attack of some dis
ease of the head last week, but is
better now....D. B. Garrett is a juror
in the U. S. court at Nashville and |
will be absent about six weeks
This will give the other aspirants
for trustee little the start of him,
but he is SO extensively known that
he will then have an even start.
The cotton caterpillar made its
in countless millions on
the cotton some three weeks ago. |
They have eat up every Vestige of a
-eaf and the cotton patches are as
brown as in January. The caterpil-
airs have attacked the rye and wheat
.hat is up and running it. Many |
fields will have to be sown again.
The hogs are getting fat on the cater
pillars where they get access to the
cotton fields. Our esteemed friend |
Cole White, we are sorry to learn, is |
quite feeble with a pulmonary |
5rouble that has followed him since |
the war. The bible pictures the !
most desirable land on earth as one !
FLOWING with milk and honey"
This now is that land. The oldest |
apiarian never saw a time like the |
past six weeks for honey. 1t is OBJ
tanned from the Aster. Pastures |
are also extra; so he is in a felici |
tous state who has cattle and bees |
=. Crops, corn and cotton, are both |
and 1 think our people |
will have enough-good will and
contentment reigns in all this land.
II was shown some picture frames |
made by Bo. Clark and on sale at |
Milton Shields, that are certainly a |
curiosity in the way of artistic de-
sign. He was put in the peneten
tiary about six years ago, whea a
mere lad, for connection in crime |
with others much older than himself. |
The others, in all probability much |
guiltier, got scott free, while this
boy was given 10 or Is years He
is now a splendid artizan. 1 pro |
pose that we petition the governor
for his release. / want every man |
in the 18th TO sign the petition
You will be invited next week.
