Martin College Sparks
STRUCK BY. THE GIRLS.

Since last we wrote we have
received q new teacher into our
midst, Miss Lee Reynolds of Athens,
Ala, who will teach calisthenics
and vocal music in the study hall.
She reminds one of q bewitching
little sprite from fairyland, endowed
with every beautiful quality that
goes to make up the perfect woman
nobly planned, and her voice is the
sweet essence of melody ITSELF
Under her excellent supervision we
certainly ought to make rapid pro-
gress in the divine art-singing.
in the last few weeks we have
had quite q number of visitors :;
among them was Mr.. John Hall of
Town Creek, Ala, who came to see
his sister.
We are sorry to say that dear
little Matte May, the infant dangh-
ter of our beloved music teacher,
Mrs. L. Rose, and the sunshine of
the college, is very i'll with pneu-
monia. We hope ere long she will
be restored to her usual health.
DR.. Ben. Harlan, the promising
physician of Columbia, was called
down Saturday morning in consulta-
ton with our worthy Drs. Sampler
and Abernathy.
Mrs. Maria Harlan, the mother
of Mrs. w. X. Jones, is now on a
visit to the college to the delight
of all its inmates. Though wearing
the snowy crown of ripe old age,
yet her fine faculties remain in as
vigorous a state as in years gone
by. The college received last week
a most pleasant visit from that
jovial representation of wit and
humor, Mr.. H. c. Jones of Maury
county, who has a little daughter
attending school-one of the bright
est of our little gems.
The last meeting of our society
was of intense interest. All of the
exercises were on the subject of in
temperance. The debate was highly
entertaining, the subject being "Re-
solved, that the use of Intoxicating
Liquors be prohibited by law
Saturday morn, bright and
early, crowd of our girls started
over the hills and far away on q
search for wild flowers, with Mrs.
Blaisdeli and Miss Beulah Sumpter
as guides. We followed the Elkton
pike for some time, then turning
into a large grove we crossed the
railroad track and wandered about
on the banks of the creek, plucking
flowers and MOSES and gathering
shells from the shore" We in
tended to have boatride, but all
our chorus of voices, joined by the
maturer ones from our guides, +"
could not arouse the ferry-man on
the opposite shore from his reveries.
So we had to abandon part of our
anticipated pleasure and resume our
Gypsy like tramp on down the
banks of the blue little river. We
found shells, ferns, MOSES, ETC., in
abundance, and with the exception
of little fatigue, our excursion was
all that we could DESIRE Twelve
o'clock found us again at Martin
College. with appetites that might
have done justice to ''hardier folks
than We"

For the Good Of pulaski.

If the business men of Pulaski
had been organized into an ex-
change or board of trade, or what
ever you may choose to call it, two
years ago and had taken hold Of
the cotton question and remedied
the evils that have been so dis
astrous to Pulaski's trade, it would
have paid well for the trouble. If
they had by concerted action
managed the railroad question, what
benefit would have followed. If
now they would take hold of and
push the pike question, what good
they might do We mention these
only to illustrate what work would
properly come under their super
vision. There are many important
matters that by concerted action
and energetic effort they could
manage to the great benefit of Pu-
laski and Giles county, besides
various and numerous subordinate
questions that affect business. And
yet, when we broached the matter
10 some the other day, some laughed
1t off, others spoke lightly and dis
interestedly, others favored (some-
body else doing it) and a few saw
the vast Importance of it. Pulaski
must have a cooperative organiza-
ton of her citizens to manage her
public affairs. We allow our pixies
and our railroads to go by default
and we see causes operating against
our trade and against the welfare
of our town and county, and not a
hand is extended in aid or to avert |
or remedy. In union there is
strength, and in the multiplicity of
council wisdom is evolved. An
effort will be made to organize and
every trade and business in Pulaski |
and in the country and smaller
towns ought to be represented.

"A great deal of excitement was
created in this community about
maddogs, as several were supposed
to have been seen recently, but
fortunately no one was bitten. 1t
was thought that COW belonging
to, VIM Owen and some hogs of
Capt. Howard were bitten, but since
then it proved to be mistake, as
the dog was not mad. We would
advocate a dog-law, as the dogs are
becoming too numerous tor safety.
