Monday was hog killing day
with our people. Every body who
had any to kill killed them, with an
exception or two.
Intelligence has reached here
that Mr.. Lum Parsons and two or
three children are sick at New Or

Mr.. Will j. Alternately says

We have recently noticed another

We transcend our scriblaorial
bounds to inform his many friends
that Capt. Lee expects TO remove to
Montgomery, Ala, in short time.
His wife, whom he married there,
has already gone. We are sorry
that we must part with them, but
wish them prosperity, happiness and
speedy return.
Our pleasant young friend Dan,
son of Mr.. Merritt Eslick, put in an
appearance a day or two since.
He is just from Lynnville Academy.
Dan is striving for an education.
We don't know what vocation he
has in view, but we are convinced
that a man, to be success in any
thing, needs education, and none
more than does the farmer.

a friend here, who hadn't taken the

Now, Mr.. Editor, 1 want you t.

ish to fall out about a mouseY

Brilliant Nuptials.


HUNTSVILLE, Dec. 19.-The most
interesting society event occurred,
this evening, at the church of the
Nativity in this city, the occasion
being the marriage of Mr.. Jno A.
Faust of New York to Miss Susie
Matthews, a reigning belle of this
CITY. Rev. DR.. Banister officisted.
The ceremony was performed in the
old English style, the ushers. Messrs
Y. /. Kirkman, Louis I. Baxter
and Wn. Moore, proceeding up the
central aisle of the church to the
altar. Then the bridesmaids came
in the following order: Misses Susie
Echols and Matte Gordon, followed
by Misses Mary Newman, and julia
Styles. Then came the bride, lean
ing upon the arm of her brother,
Mr.. James Z. Matthews, WIG, when
they reached the altar, were met by
the groom and his friend, Mr..
Charles ID. Porter, who entered from
the vestry room. During the cere-
mony the bride was given over to
the happy groom by her brother.
After the ceremony the newly we'd
ded couple passed out of the church,
followed by the bridesmaids and the
attend5nts in regular order. The
bride, always charming, looked es-
pecially handsome and lovely on
this occasion. She was attired in q
superb white satin dress en- traine,
with lace trimmings and diamond
ornaments. A grand reception is
rendered them tonight by Mr.. and
Mrs. James p. Matthews. and to-
morrow they leave for New York.
Quite 8 number of friends and
relatives from Pulaski went to wit
ness the happy event and to par
ticipate in the season of pleasure
that followed. We congratulate our
handsome friend on his brilliant

Ed. Harwell returned last Mon
day from Memphis where he has
been visiting.
But little preparation is being
made for the Christmas holidays
and we fear the Christmas here will
be unusually dull.
Charley Surles, who went to
Texas last fall, got back home Sat
urday. He says he likes that coun-
try very well and will probably re-
turn soon.
Joe Lawsons, who had his eye
badly hurt last year by the sharp
end of gambreling stick striking it,
from which he has suffered a great
deal, left last Saturday for Nash
vile to have the ball taken out. 1t
is very unfortunate that he must
lose his eye in such a way.
Some scroundrel cut one Of
Dick Hollis mules in several places
one night last week, which almost
ruined it. He could get no trace
of the one that did the deed. The
person who has no more conscience
than to commit such an atrocious
act ought to have his neck broken.
The community has been de-
prived of the presence OF Misses
Matte Gracey and Bette Maultsby
for some time, as they have been
visiting friends and relatives-the
former in Marshall county and the
latter in Bedford. Miss Ada
Maultsby, who has been at her sis
ter's, Mrs. Williams, in Lincoln
| county, returned home Monday,
Our farmers are through gath
ering their corn crop, which was
quite 8. large one, but there is q
great deal of cotton in the fields yet
1t has not turned out altogether as
well as was first expected. There
has not been as much wheat sowu
this fall as usual. Those who
sowed early have fine stands, but il
Is looking bad on account of the
late hard freezes.
Steve Wilkinson's place met with
a sad accident one day last week
She was left at the house with some
children and being subject to fits
was attacked by one while near the
fire and fell into it. Mrs. Wilkin-
son, being aroused by the cries Of
the little negroes, went to the cabin
to ascertain the cause, when she
found the unfortunate woman living
in the fire. She succeeded in pull
ing her out but not until she was
almost roasted alive. Both eyes
were burned out and the flesh fell
from the bones in many places. She
has lived up to this writing but can
not get well.
Our pastor, Rev. J. F. Tinnon,
and his accomplished life, will
board with Mrs. Calvin Reynolds.
The Tennessee conference cannot
claim nobler young man nor a bet
ter young pastor than Jim. He is
devoted to his calling and has be
gun his pastoral labors here with
zeal and is fast gaining the conf
dence Of every class throughout the
entire circuit, from which we trust
that much good will result before
the conference shall see proper tc
take him from us. There will be
preaching at Cedar Grove the fifth
Sunday at the usual hour, two
o'clock. Certainly no one will
fail to go to the house OF worship
on that day, as it is the last day OF
Christmas, last day of the week
the last day OF the imonth and the
last day of year that brought nu-
merous blessings to all mankind

The Appeal for 1888.

The Appeal has just entered upon tina
forty-third year of its existence. Du-
ring the year 1888 it will maintain all
its honorable traditions bV the adoption
OF every improvement which progress
can invent or suggest. 1t will be the
constant aim of the management to
make it complete newspaper and the
reliable exponent of liberal public
opinion. With this object in view, it
will print all the news OF the day,
promptly and as fully as its large and
| increasing facilities will permit. While
/ keeping our readers intelligent upon
all the political questions of the time,
we shall continue to devote q large
share of our space TO agricultural, tdu-
cationai, religious, scientific, literary in
dustrial and commercial matters. Po-
| liTical parties are likely TO be reOrgan-
| lied upon new Issues as national politics
are assuming new phases. This will
give additional interest Co all well-con-
/ Quoted newspapers until the next presi-
Dental election. Every good CITIZEN
should keep himself abreast Of the cur
rent politics OF the day for that reason
the price of the APPEAL is placed within
the r aeh of even the poorest. The his
tory of the Appeal for the psst forty
two years has been the history of
southern thought, southern politics,
southern industry, and its future will
| be the same.

There are many jobs put through
congress for spending the public
money for the alleged purpose of
giving poor people work. Why not
appropriate it to them directly and
save the wear and tear of their mus
Gle? 1t is foolish to build q levee
that does no good just to give en-
ployment to poor men. This is
sometimes the alleged reason, but
the real reason is that it affords a
few contractors a chance for a big
steal. These are republican grin
ciples.
