AS my letter did not get in, in
time for publication last week,
will let you hear from me this week
although haven't much very in
teresting.
1t is Just week until Christ
mas and the '1ittle folks" are look
ing forward with bright anticipa-
tions for the coming "Old Kris, "and
all are expecting jolly time.
Master Clarence Smith, who
we reported a short time ago as be-
ing sick, is convalescing.
Miss Annie Belle Smith has
just returned from Simpsons Chap
ell neighborhood where she spent
several days very pleasantly with
friends and relatives.
Il noticed in the last issue a
letter from Ne Plus Ultra saying
that party of ladies had gone to
Pulaski and he expected it meant a
wedding. No doubt it does, and if
reports be true he is particularly
concerned it the affair.
Miss Josie Hall was visiting
friends in our midst last week.
There seems to be quite stir
among the people now about NOV
ing and getting every thing ready
TO begin with the new year. Mr..
Guthrie has moved to Lawrence
burg to live another year.
We understand that William
Phelps of this vicinity will start for
Texas very soon. d. II. ).

A $4,000 Sale,

Mr.. A. NJ. Pryor left Pulaski for
Colorado Monday of this week. He
expected to have remained longer
with his relatives here but received
a telegram that called him Only
a few years ago Mr.. Pryor went
west a poor man. Now his wealth is
counted by hundreds of thousands
The following notice from Colora
do paper will be interesting to Mr.
Pryor's friends here:
"One of the largest sales of cattle
that has been transacted in Colora-
do for some time was consummated
a few days ago. Mr.. A. NJ. Pryor

Since our last writing the mat
rimonial dilemma was aroused from
the tranquility into which it had
collapsed for the last year or two,
by G. NJ. Wilkinson and Miss Eliza
Felker taking on the conjugal bliss
of perpetual happiness last We'd
nesday at II o'clock. The rites of
matrimony we're solemnized at the
house of the brides father by Rev.
j. g. Hurlbert in a very affecting
and binding mode. The attendants
were Mr.. G. A. Sneed with Miss
Hattie Brady; ar. j. K. Fleeman
with Miss Sceleta Saeed. After
the silken KNOT was tied and friec dis
and relatives had poured blessings
into their full cup of joy, beauti-
full repast of delicacies, magnifi-
cent dinner, was spread to which
all did ample justice. The groom
vas widower and is prosper
Gus farmer, a gentleman of rarest
social worth, highly esteemed and
respected, The brides beam and
accomplish ments are personal at
fractions of one who possesses all
the sublime virtues of a woman.
That providence may smile upon
and prosper them with bountiful
blessings is the wish Of their many
warm friends.
The next night Thursday Mr.
j. w. Sandusky and Mrs. Bette
Sneed were married by Rev. j. G..
Hurlbert, and they are all now
luxuriating in the tall clover ofcon-
nubial bliss. Miss Bette and Jim
both looked as if they could tell all
about heaven and how angels feel /;
and as L looked On them together,
two souls blended in one like the
calm meeting of two placid streams
in howery vale, l wondered is 1t
true that they will never be dist1rb-
ed by the storms that beat in
upon the domestic peace Of human
hearts. We hope you will be some
day the brightest stars that corrus-
cate in the heavenly constellation.
Notwithstanding the unpleas-
antness of the day, the sacramental

Cotton and Live Stock.

Last fall and winter the trade in
Pulaski was in live stock, when
our dealers did the biggest business
ever done in that line, but there was
nothing like the usual amount of
cotton sold here. Cotton raisers
had. become prejudiced against this
market and great deal of cotton
that belonged here was carried
elsewhere, but not so this season.
While trade in live stock has been
dull compared with last year, the
farmers have found this to be the
best market in this part of the coun-
try for their cotton, and the receipts
have been heavy. The freight
books at the depot show that $500
bales of this years crop have al
ready been shipped from this point.
This does not show the full receipts
to date. There are about one hun
dred bales on the platform, the fac
tory has bought several hundred
bales and there are small lots stored
in the ware houses, which it is esti-
mated will foot up quite six thou
sand bales. Cotton is still coming
in lively every day.
Since September, the time consid-
cred above, % car loads of hogs, %
of cattle, s of horses and mules, and |
3 Of sheep have been shipped. In !
addition to this great many
sheep have been double decked and |
shipped with other stock and are
not included in this estimate. A
of mixed loads have been
shipped. Three loads of poultry
have been billed. This is a good
business for Pulaski in so short a
time. This is only for Pulaski
There are seven other railroad sta
tions from which more or less has
been shipped which will add very
largely to the total. The value of
the cotton shipped from Pulaski is
above 100000.

Fire.

1t is about time for one of our
disastrous fires. We hear of them
all around US and three Tennessee
towns have been almost literally
burned from the face of the earth
within three weeks. Pulaski has no
protection. We have fifteen hun
dred dollar extinguisher that has
been sitting gathering dust and cob
webs for several years and no at
tempt made to use it. The people
think it is useless and do not at
tempt to bring it out at all. There is
no manner of doubt that the engine
we have is the very best that can
be had for town of our size. Fire
engines cannot be manned in small
towns and water cannot be had.
Gallatin has one that is exactly like
ours, we believe, and the Examiner
lauds 1t nightly. 1t says: "The
only engine that is adapted to the
wants of Tennessee towns without
large water supply is the chemical
engine. There are several good
ones. We know of the Babcock and
the Louisville Champion. Gallatin
has had a large one of the latter
kind for about ten years. The good
that it has done is almost incalcu-
liable. We have had a dozen or two
fires since that period, but one of
any magnitude, which became so
large that before the arrival of the
engine, being at an early hour in
the morning) that several buildings
were destroyed. But it did arrest
the confagration of one of the best
buildings on the square. 1t is the
opinion of our citizens that our en-
CINE has been the direct means of
saving about half million dollars
worth of property. Notably the
large cotton factory worth over
100000 was saved a few months
since by its effective work" These
extinguishers are beginning to be
largely used even in cities, as they
are sometimes more handy and
available and meet peculiar exigen-
cies that fire engines fail to cover
Capt. Stockell, the veteran fire
chief OF Nashville, says they are eX-
actly the thing for towns.
Our board should see to 1t at once
that the extinguisher is put in fix for
fire. The last fire we had on the
square could have been extinguish-
ed at first with a respectable squirt
gun, and easily with this engine, and
yet we had to stand helpless and
see several thousand dollars lost.
Many citizens are startled every
night by the striking of the city
clock. They are looking for and
fearing q fire. We know it will
come. 1t has never passed by US
yet. We must be ready for it.

Baurh-Beaty.

DIR. John E. Baugh was married
last evening to Miss Lizzie HBeaty,
all of Elkton, by Rev. r. r. Jones.
The attendants were: Miss Minnie
Beatty and Mr.. Atha Baugh, Miss
Jennie Sheriff. and Mr.. J.aH. Ste
venson; Miss Mamie Wilson and
Mr.. Ed: w, Copeland; Miss Lila
Glaze and Mr.. w. Y. Beatty. The
marriage occurred in the Methodist
church and the preparations gave
promise of very brilliant affair.
A reception and entertainment was
Immediately enjoyed at the resi-
dence ofMr. ". .Baugh. The parties
belong to the first and most honor
e6 families and are themselves well
fitted to enjoy the full measure of
lfte's best blessings which the union
so happily portends.

We regret to lose from oul
community Mr.. Willy Alternately,
who has been employed as salesman
by the firm st DeRay, whose bust
ness has increased to such an ex-
tent that another clerk was Reces-
sary.
DIR. Steele is having his mill
greatly improved by the addition OF
a new boiling cloth. Mr.. O'Neill,
our skillful architect, is performing
the job.
Mr.. Adnie Alternately was Wis.
iting at Porter Cameron's last week
and returned to her home Sunday.
Mrs. Parker is visiting rela-
tives in Athens. She is remarkably
active for one of her age, being
within one month of her eigthtieth
birthday. Several Of our farmers
have had the misfortune to lose sew
eral fine hogs with cholera. A drove
of four hundred turkeys passed
through this neighborhood last
week and was an interesting sight.
Our first quarterly meeting was
held at Hebron, January 8 and 6.
Brother Duncan was once our pas
tor and we are glad to again have
an opportunity of hearing him.
We are full IN sympathy with
what your Lynnvllle correspondent
says of the monument, in honor OF
Giles county's confederate dead,
and think the object altogether
commendable, and not only that,
but 1t is duty we owe to those pa
triots who nobly surrendered their
lives on their country's battle field. |
Their services were known and APP
preciated by those around them and
heir memories are still held in
nigh venerration by their surviving
comrades and by the generous peo-
pie of Giles who feel that this is only
/ faint tribute to their merits, and
will, we do not doubt, willingly con-
,ribute to its erection. FELIX.

Confederate Monument.

Mr.. Sam G. Mitchell h as submit
ted a pencil drawing of the pro-
posed Confederate Monument, on
exhibition at the Giles bank, that is
a credit to his skill and seems to be
exactly the thing desired. We be-
lieve it to be about forty feet high,
with a masonry base ten feet square
upon which is mounted the base of
the monument somewhat smaller
and from this the shaft shoots sky
ward. 1t is properly chiseled, orna-
mented and capped and presents an
imposing and beautiful appearance.
From correspondents we see that
the people are interested. The pro
ject ought to be pushed at once. II
will never do to let the interest
flag. Look at the unfinished Wash
ington monument, the Lee monu.
ment in New Orleans, BartholdI:
Statue of Liberty-and many 9th
ers that remain unfinished for years
because they were not pushed a
first. We suppose the committee
will adopt Mr.. Mitchell's plan, OIL
something like it, and they should
set to work at once for the money
and with the work.

We called attention last week to
the fact that more men had bank
accounts than usual in Giles. They
are saving more money than ever
before. We now learn that our
merchants have done from % to 80
per cent. better than last year.
When these facts are fully measur-
ed and comprehended we are forced
to conclude that last thanksgiving
day was sadly neglected in Giles.
The preachers and people of Giles
ought to set apart a special day TO
return thanks to a bountiful Provi-
dence that has blessed US above all
that we ever knew before.

Perhaps after just a weeks
time we ought not to mention the
cause of the smiles that have frozen
on the countenance Of Mr.. p. NJ.
Ezell. A bundle of dimpled and
rosy femininity, wrapped in dainty
laces and tickled into smiles ever
and now by the angels that brought
it, cozily dreams the hours that
must elapse before it can lisp
papa" Sometimes he forgets
himself in his ecstacy and goes
tearing through the tinware until
it rains dishpans and stovelegs and
the neighbors run out to see which
way the storm is coming.

The Square Thing.

One of our cotton buyers bought
a bale of cotton recently that was a
little damp. The seller thought five
pounds per bale was too much to
dock for wet, but the buyer told
him he would pay him for every
pound it gained when he got his bill
of sale. The cotton was shipped
and sold and the buyer got his bill
Of sale Saturday, which showed
that it had lost just ten pounds in
addition to what he had locked it.
This demonstrates not only that
the buyer is pretty close guesser
at the amount of water in a bale OF
cotton but that be was disposed to
DO, the square thing.
