Trade in Livestock.

The fact that two hundred and
fitty-five car loads of livestock were
shipped from Pulaski during the
year ending August 1st will give
some idea of the magnitude of the
trade that has been going on in that
line in Giles county, and when it Is
remembered that all kinds of stock
sold at higher prices than for many
years before it is evident that stock
raisers have made money. And
the amount of ready cash that has
been brought into the county is not
perhaps the greatest benefit that
has accrued. The stimulus that has
been given to the trade is a still
more favorable result. The farmers
are encouraged to raise more stock
and they have realized that the
least profit is in raising the com
monest grades. The common stock
that has been sold will be replaced
by better breeds, and the result Of
the large trade of 1888 will tell in
the stock raising business in Giles
for years to come. The shipments
made from this place does not by
any means cover the total. Heavy
shipments were made from Lynn
vile and other points in the county

Pleasant Valley.

We hear that several of our
young people enjoyed a trip to Mar-
celia Falls last Friday. They re
turned about dusk and reported
that they had spent a delightful
day at that pleasant place. Several
of the party stopped at the hospit-
able residence of Col. Wilkerson
where quite a crowd had assembled
to enjoy another "nickel party
The young ladies of this com
munity have organized a society fol-
the benefit of the church and they
give these meetings, at which each
one present contributes the small
amount of five cents; hence the
name. The society has been or
ganized about year and we under
stand that they now have about
$125 on hand. They have given
several suppers to raise that amount.

was in the neighborhood last week,
canvassing for his school.

ant Valley on Friday evening, Aug.
10, to which all are cordially in
vited. The proceeds will be used

beed needing it for some time. We
trust this supper will be as well
patronized by adjacent communities
as all heretofore given have been.
Crops are looking up this way.
Corn and cotton both promise a
good yield. FELIX.

Farmers ORGANIZATION.

=
| DR.. Thos. B. Harwell is the right
man in the right place as vice pres
ident for Giles county of the Mid
die Tenn. Farmers Association. He
inaugurates his appointment with
instant action, as his call for a
farmers's meeting next Monday
shows. The farmers will neglect
an important opportunity If they
are not here in force and do not
seize the occasion to benefit them
selves. There are SO many farmers
that each one thinks some one else
will attend to such matters, and so
he stays away and the whole thing
goes by default. We have said be-
fore, and Its restatement exactly APP
plies here, that Giles county lands
are at a critical point. They
started fifty years ago as rich and
fertile as soil can be, but by per
sistent washing and straining they
are reduced to that stage where
preservation is absolutely demand
ed. 1t cannot be said yet that
they need retaining. AS com
pared with other counties where
the soil is even called rich, ours is
richer; but we are neglecting to
preserve it and we are not learning
the new ideas and methods of farm
ing and fertilizing. The meeting
next Monday is to start in this di
rection. A few farmers clubs in
Georgia brought about Change in
truck farming that brought two or
three million dollars into their
pockets the first year that never
would have found its way there
otherwise. There must be concert
of action, an interchange of opinion
and experience to reach the best
methods. DR.. Harwell has devoted |
many years to these matters and as
grand master of the state grange |
has imbibed all the progressive |
ideas and knows exactly what is
needed. Giles is fortunate in hav
ing such a man.
The meeting next Monday will
also take measures to increase our
exhibit at the Louisville Exposition.
Commissioner McWhirter has made
4 strenuous effort to place the Ten
nessee exhibit at the head there.
Thousands of strangers will see it
and the world will be advertised
hat Tennessee is richest in natural
and productive capacities.
Giles ought to assist in this mat
,er.
Farmers, big and little, old and
be here next Mondoy!

AS Puer has left our place fol
a short time, will give you a few
items.
We had nice picnic and a gay
time at the bridge near by Satur-
day last.
We are suffering greatly for
rain; crops are cut short.
Our protracted meeting is next
Saturday at Liberty. 1t is in

Mrs. Geo. McLaurine of Pulas-
XII, with her nice family, is on Wis

Our church is completed and
ready for the meeting in August.
We hope for a revival then. Rev.
Mr.. Kirkland preached to US few
days ago. We wish it was so he
could preach for as once a month.
He can do great deal of good
wherever he goes; he is showing
age, but his mind is clear and full
of vim. 1t is over twenty years
since he preached here last. Come
again, old brother; you are well
come and we love you.
Road working begins this week
not sooner than they need it; oh,
for better roads!

A woMAN'S 1ovE-DREAM.
(n1n scnLp.nnnr

OLD soRAP-BooK.)
We have walking visions-I have mine,
And being young and fanciful, and counte,
fair,
! sometimes dream of love.
And sitting all alone and musing still,
While yet the freight hiekers dim,
ask myself if l should learn TO love,
II my still heart could wake to life,
bow would love and how would be loved
For l am weary of idolatry.
| My soul is faint within me while / think
| OF all the fierce. strcng passion
have seen and known, resistless in its
might,
As some rock-clearing stream.
| would be loved in calmness-
Trusted and not feared;
He whom loved should be my king,
And not my slave.
do not ask that he be proud and cold,
But calm and grave and very strong
king, like Saul, among the sons OF mon,
And kinglier Ger himself.
He must not tramble at my slightest frown,
Nor shudder il another meets my eyes;
Nor must he, like vassal, crave my smile,
Glad in the dust before my feet to lie
For am weary of servility.
would not rule, nor would ! yet be ruled;
l scorn the tyrant as | scorn his slave.
Itere is love of sweet equality,
The love God CAV and smiled upon,
For it was very good.
He whom love must be my king.
But must be his queen;
And he should yield me, as my tribute due,
The reverence had earned,
Not only by my womanhood, but by all gen.
tleness,
Long-sufering, the patient sweetness
Only love can teach;
For looking on me he should feel and know
Ffat peace and rest which follow sfter toll,
In me his heart should in such safety trust,
That he should shave no need of spoil"
do not ask for him tho worlds applause,
The blaze of heraldry, the romp of fame;
his deeds the annals OF q nations pride,
His name upon the lips of men;
But must feel his power
MIST know he could be what earth's horoes
are.
l could not love him were he not great;
His bend must be both safe and strong;
a hand to shield, to trust, to lay my own
within,
To stake my life upon;
hand that might have fought with Hercules,
Yet would not harm the worm in his path.
For tho the heart of woman loveth oft
thing she doth unwIllingly despise.
It is a pihtul, imperfect love that hath not
For its cornerstone the rock of faith
Ills heart must be most tender and most true
a heart that loves and pities and befriends
Earth's suffering children, whether high
Or yet among the lowly and the poor,
And he must love perfectly.
Ii from the first fruits of my hearts fair
wealth,
bnng an offering for a love-crown made,
dc must not mock me with a paltry love,
Nor stocp to cheat my soul.
If should ever meet this man,
This king only DIRE IN and never see,
Then could ] SIT most meekly at his feet,
A very child before his goodness and his
power;
And while he stopped to kiss my shining
hair,
Dr. smooth the clusters from their clinging
rest,
A sweet, unspoken language in his touch,
W ould lift my dark eyes to the dark of his;
An / as in fair Judea when the world was
young,
sarah with reverence said to Abraham,
Ny lips should call hun Lord"

Lockjaw.

Mr.. Perkins who recently had his
foot mashed by the cars here is
now lying almost at the point OF
death with lockjaw. Up to Mon
day, when the first symptoms OF
lockjaw made their appearance, his
wound seemed to be healing very
nicely and the doctor and all his
friends thought he would soon be
well. But he grew worse Tuesday,
and though remaining perfectly
conscious all the while, has since
been suffering the most excrucia-
ting pain. DIR. Briggs was tele-
graphed for and came down to con-
suit with DIR. Bate, bus they de
cided that even amputation would
not relieve him and that there was
scarcely any hope of his recovery

Renters Coming,

Mai. T. M. N. Jones has been ap-
piled to by a number of Indiana
farmers who wish to come to Giles
county to live but desire to rent
lands for year or a term of years
so that they may learn more of this
country and people without being
tied here if they are displeased.
The gentleman who is-leading in
this movement is q man of means
and has been here and he expects
to return about the goth of this
month to complete arrangements
for several families. He writes
that they are all Woodworking, good
farmers and exemplary citizens,
some of them with means to buy.
They want good farms and prefer a
lease of years so as to give a fair
test with grasses, clover, etc. Per-
sons who have places to rent can
perhaps effect trade if they will
apply to Maj. Jones. He will
doubtless sell to some of these men.

AppIeton's.


One week has passed without
a letter from here, but we will en-
deavor to give a few items this
week, perhaps for the last time.
| On Friday the Goth the good
people of this neighborhood gave a
barbecue and bran dance in honor
of Mr.. F. NJ. Bunch's birthday. 1t
was pronounced a success and ev-
erysone went on his way rejoicing.
Then on the Monday following a
few families gathered at the old
mill where we had a most ENJOYABLE
fish-fry, in the midst of which we
were most agreeably surprised by
the sound of familiar voices. They
proved to be some of our Pulaski
friends, Messrs. Ed. B. Jones, j..
G. Putnam and Will Martin. They
were warmly welcomed by all, and
remained with us two days, then re-
turned to Pulaski, expressing them
selves highly pleased.
Mr.. James Shelton opened
school Monday, 23rd, with 81 pu-
pills. He is a good teacher and is
beloved by both patrons and pupils.
Mr.. T. M. Bunch and little
daughter, Maud, left for Pulaski
last Thursday, and will return
Tuesday.
Charlie Bunch has been quite
sick from a slight attack of bilious
fever, but we apprehend nothing
serious.
Several croquet parties given
were largely attended and hugely
enjoyed.
Mrs. A. T. Dobbins was
aroused from her slumbers, on the
23rd. by unusual sounds from the
smoke house. She bounded to the
hall door and there met face to
face our corpulent friend from Pu-
laski uncouseiously vending his
way to the cupboard. She fled as
from a ghost. We understand that
Mr. j. has been in poor health for
some time, but did not know that
his malady had taken such a turn
as to render him a somnambalist.
"A quarterly meeting was held
at Big foot by the Baptists. Mr..
Ephriam Jones was baptized Sun
day.
The ramblers expect to visit
Lawrenceburg before returning to
Pulaski.
We will now close, thanking
the kind people of Appleton for
their unbounded hospitality and |
to us and beg that some one may |
continue to write for the CITIZEN,
as will be glad to hear from our
friends here. With this we say
goodbye. RAMBLERs.

Veto.

Since our last we have had q
nice little rain which came just in
time to prevent the corn being
ruined by the heated rays of the
sun. Cotton prospects were never
more catering than at the present
The Irish potatoe crop is a large
one this year, but by no means a
profitable one. Sweet potatoes and
water melons are coming in.
Our saw mill men, W. E. Up
shaw and Frank Phelps, are doing
a lively business with their mill
near this place.
j. NJ. Mccormack new resi-
dence is nearing completion. The
Jones Bros: of near Fayetteville are

last Friday morning of consump
ton. Mr.. II. is also i'll with the
same disease.
Last Saturday VIM. Atkinson
called all his children and grand
children together, which he called
a general family reunion. A nice
little barbecue was prepared for the
occasion. Mr. Atkinson stated tn at
he never expected to see them all
again. He is blind.
"A barbecue was enjoyed near
j. w. Hills last week and nice
time is reported.
Robert and William Echols
went to RogersvilIe last Saturday to

was perfectly wild and was thought
to have hydrophobia. The best
evidence that she was mad is the
fact that she went into spasms
when water was thrown on her.
She finally died in one of these
spasm. Every week lately there is
something of this kind to admon-
ish the proprietors of CANNES to
kill Or confne them. If you think
too much of your dog to kill him you
ought to think enough of your

fering him to rove the streets with
