gret and pleasure that we announce
the resignation of Mr.. JAS. d. An

departure last Monday for Louis

the reportorial department of the
great Courier-JOurnal-regret that
we lose his valued services and pleas
ure that he Bothered his condition
by placing himself in a line where
promotion will more certainly and
swiftly crown his extra merits. He
leaves US of his own volition, after a
long connection with the CITIZEN in
all its departments. We found him
always equal to any demand, and
his fitness for the work was only
equalled by a sterling reliability and
steady devotion to business upon
principle that made us feel safe at
all times when a trust was reposed
We would not inaict a praise upon
him that might be considered in the
nature of a certificate of character,
foi he stands squarely upon the most
glaring personal merit, but we wish
to record our esteem for him as a
man and as a journalist and to com
mend and hold up for admiration
qualities which would become any
man. 1t would be superhuOus to
say we wish him well. He has that
in him which viii win success. We
do not fear to lose him always, for
we apprehend there may be some
tender threads to bind him here we
wot not, of and he may return to
weave them into a silken knot some
day. The Courier-Journal will find
that the CITIZEN graduates are not
nOvices.

Jack frost made his appearance
on the morning of the 4th, and
whitened everything he came in con-
tact with. A considerable amount
of rain has fallen in this locality
since my last writing, hindering
wheat sowing and cotton picking.
Mr.. j. L. (Loss) Patterson and
family from Lincoln moved into our

which he purchased last winter.
James Borland left Monday to visit
his sisters at Hillsboro, North Caro-
lima. One of them will return with
him to fill the vacancy recently left
by the death of their mother. Capt.
Roddy's school was suspended
several days last week on account
of his being unable to teach. Miss
Josie Edniston is teaching school
at Bethany. Mr.. - (Badgs)
Whit and Miss Matte McKenny
were united in marriage on last
Thursday evening at the residence
of Mr. Rodgers in the edge of
Lincoln. Will Edmiston, accom-
panied by his accomplished sister
and cousin, Misses Lizzie and Clara
Edmiston, all of Petersburg, and
Miss Ida Fondville, beautiful and
vivacious young lady Of Danville,
Ill, are visiting their cousins, the

Our new pastor, Rev. w. T. Row
land, came down Thursday and
preached an eloquent sermon Sun
day from / Cor. II, 2, but the rain
prevented his preaching Sunday
night. Rev. Mr.. Cosby was also
with us Sunday, but did not preach
on account of no announcement
having been made at the G. p.
Church. Rev. Mr.. Weakly left us
Saturday. We regret very much
the loss of our beloved pastor and
his estimable lady, but trust it is all
for the best, and that they will ac-
complish much good in their new
field of labor. SCBIBBLKR.

A jolly, companionable young
man registered as +. Taylor at the
st. Giles Monday night and soon
had several OF the young men
around him. They spent several
hours listening and laughing and
at last he asked tor a drug store
where he might get cigarette to
ease an aching tooth. Whom he
got there he concluded to take q
half ounce of chloroform, which
was given him. His cratic talk
convinced the druggist that he med
itated suicide and by a ruse a bot
tie of alcohol was substituted and
he went to the hotel. 1t is not
known whether he took the alcohol
or not, but he left the next morn
ing for Scottsboro, Ala, where he
said he would locate. He offered

Alice Hamlet has returned from
protracted visit to relatives and
friends in Alabama. She reports a
pleasant tins among the hospitable
people of that country. We hope
for the benefit Of society here that
sufficient attraction will be pre-
sented to induce her to remain over
for long spell. Miss Nora Cheat
ham is having a severe attack of
rheumatism, and at this writing is
suffering greatly. Miss Jennie
Cameron has been on an extended
visit to relatives in the neighbor-
hood of Lynnville station. Her
sunny presence is calculated to rem
der her stay pleasant, but her alb
sence caused one fellow to wear a
long face. Cotton is nearly all
gathered in, and it is generally
lighter than was anticipated. Wheat
sowing is progressing as rapidly as
the weather will permit. The acre
age will exceed any year for some
time. Should the crop be a good
one wheat will be cheap. Dame
Nature has been rather eccentric in
managing her affairs this year. One
extreme follows another. Jack
Frost has failed to put in an ap-

destroy the verdure Of the vegeta-

Prof. de Anquinos announces that
he will positively close his gallery
in Pulaski next Saturday. His work
here speaks for itself and proclaims
him to be an artist of extraordinary
merit. The large exhibition in the
National Bank shows some of the
handsomest picture we ever saw.
When an artist of his attainments
comes to Pulaski he should be en-
-couraged so that he may make it
profitable to return periodically
We unhesitatingly pronounce his
work unexcelled in these parts, as
far as we can judge, and we would
be glad that the patronage given
him would be sufficient to retain
him. He will take no orders after
Saturday and as soon as he can
wind up his business he will go to
Murfreesboro.
