Mrs. r. D. Kirk spent Christina:
with her parents near Lynnville
and returned home yesterday. Mr.
j. NJ. Taught went to Lawrence
county Christmas week.
Mr.. Jesse Abernathy. of Hardin
county, West Tennessee, is visiting
his relatives in this part of Giles
We hope his stay among the scenes
of his childhood will be pleasant
There have been several visitors
to our village this week, several oil
whom have acknowledged them.
selves smitten by the fair ones OF
our village. They had better look
sharp.
Our enterprising neighbOr, j. nj.
Parker, contemplates running a dry
goods store another year. He also
exects to attach cotton gin to his
saw mill. He has his plans already
matured, and a man with his vim is
sure to succeed.
N. Hays, esq, lad family reun-
ion on Christmas day, and twenty
four of his children and grand child
rem were present. Your CORES
pendent had the pleasure to assist
in demolishing the turkey and other
viands. We wish the family many
q happy reunion.
Eli Randle, reliable negro, form
erly 8 citizen OF this county, but
now of Arkansas, is canvsssing this
section for colored hands for the
White river cotton fields of that
State. He has engaged about
twenty, and at this rate hands will
be scarce in some sections.
Mr.. N. S. Phelps also had family
dining on Tuesday, and the writer,
with the other guests, attested the
superiority of the turkey, boiled
custard and other pslatable appur-
tenances to o rich feast. You
ought to have been there, for it was
a good place for lean knights of the
quill.
Mr.. John Dawson and Miss Sal
lie c. Alternately, of Blue Creek,
celebrated their nuptials last Thurs
day, and were given a reception by
Mr.. D. p. Cameron, of this neigh
borhood. on the same evening. Now
that they are slipping the sweets
from matrimonial flowers we wish
them q full share Of happiness and
this worlds goods.
The "rheumatics" sorely troub-
leth your correspondent. Repeated
applications of medical agents
did not aaorn 70 laaoap tho nrnho
bility of contracted ligaments,
though the cause cannot be attrIb-
uted to a super1uity of Christmas
goodies. 1 hope TO be able to per-
ambulate our streets again in the
near future without such an un-
comfortable accompaniment.
Our community is somewhat ex-
cited over the appearance Of q mad
dog several days ago. Nothing was
thought of it at the time, but since
then symptoms OF hydrophobia have
developed themselves in several
dogs and all that were bitten by
him have been shot, and the prob
ability is that q great many more
will share the same fate, as the
mum Der OF his victims is not known.
Measures should at once be taken |
to rid the country of this terrible
malady. ! express a public senti-
ment when l say that every dog |
caught prowling around outside of
his own premises should be shot. |
They were from Lawrence coun-
ty, full of life and vivacity, and |
were ready for anything productive
of pleasure. They consented to es
cort some young ladies to social.
They went-saw heaps of fun--too
dark and muddy to come home
accepted the landlady's invitation
to stay over night TO see the girls
home next morning-old Sol peeped
dimly over the eastern hilltops--l
boys astir-Went to the bubbling
spring to battle their sleepy counte-
nances-the girls see their opportu-
nifty and make hasty departure
the boys lift up their eyes-chase
begins, but fail to catch up--got
left, and a-but here's a happy new
year to the CITIZEN and its many
readers.
The Christmas tree at Hebron
was decided success, if we are to
take as q criterion the presents rich
and rare that were distributed by
Santa Claus. Kisses for the sweet
hearts and candy for the babies;
toys, gimcrscks, watches, gold
rings, and other things too tedious
to mention were scattered around in
rich profusion, and made glad the
hearts of the fortunate ones. The
various committees have reason to
congratulate themselves upon the
success OF the enterprise. Notwith
standing the inclemency of the
weather the house was densely
packed, and all seemed to enjoy
themselves finely. The only thing
that happened TO mar the pleasure
of the occasion was a report that
none but the poor class of people
had anything to do with it. The
thin-visaged, slabsided, banter
shanked,. knockkneed, abortive
specimen of humanity who origins-
ted the report, will please note that
the tree was worth about two hun
dred dollars, besides fifty dollar
present in greenbacks. Santa
Claus was represented by Rob't
Pullen, jr., in happy style.
Mr.. T. j. Reynolds has sold out
his farm here and moved with his
family to Columbia. May success
attend him. Mr., T. j. Owen has
taken up his lodgings at Southport.
Maury county. Our community
has received several emigrants from
Mississippi this fall We hope
they will make valuable additions
to the yeomanry of our land.
Messrs. +. II. Cheatham and G. H.
Cameron are in the brick business.
Their well-burnt brick is indicative
of success. N. S. Phelps and 5. Z.
5. Matthews have made additions
to their residences that great
ly improve the appearance Of their
farms. Mr.. P. f. Woodland has
nearly completed his residence, and
1t will be an ornament to the com
