The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1886-11-11

Again do we appear before the
public for criticism. Our few
thoughts to be presented are much
varied in detail. Death, sickness
and accident with the festivities OF
the season crowd upon US at this
writing. First, we would mention
the various ones who are afflicted
Mrs. Ella English is now confined
to her room with pulmonary troub-
les. She is held in the highest
esteem and the community sym :
pathizes deeply with her. Miss
Annie English has been confined to
hnr room for several days but is
much better. Mrs. Hugh Yokely
has been confined to her room for
some time with rheumatism, but is
slowly recovering.
Mrs. Mary S. Campbell was
the victim of shocking accident
last Saturday. While driving
through our village an old paper
blew across the road in front of her
buggy horse and the horse shyed.
She became alarmed and leaped
from the buggy, and falling in an
awkward position, dislocated her
left knee joint, which has been very
painful, but under the skilllul treat
ment of Drs. Upshaw and Herbert
is doing well.
Mr.. Henry G. Niece at this
hour is slowly dying of congestion
of the brain. He is much Iespec
ted citizen, having served in the
Florida war. He is between 20 ami
so years old.
Mrs. Mary RitteRbery and Two
sons of Birmingham are visiting at
his mother's,. Aunt Polly Camp
bell.
Rev. I. N. YoKeley has been in
disposed for several days. He failed
to fill his appointment as pastor last
Sabbath. However, an excellent
sermon was delivered by Rev. j. NJ.
Paisley.
Our Sunday school and lodge
OF Good Templars are in a flourish
ing condition.
Bud English is now taking les
sous in music on the guitar.
Col. D. w. Burch has found
one who takes coffee with him ev-
cry time.
Mr.. Jonas Irvine and Miss
Maggie Due of Maury paid our viii
lage a visit recently much to the
delight of our young folks.
There was pound supper given
at the academy last Friday under
the auspices of the Good Templars
1t was in every way a success and
all went away with one exclama-
ton: "W ell done, thou good and
faithful servants" Such beautiful
ladies and courteous gents rs had
the matter in charge can always
make such things asuceess. Space
forbids particular mention of the
many visiting ladies and gentlemen
of other neighborhoods, we can
only say that the most conspicuous
was Mr.. j. j. Lindsay and Cayenne
Pepper of Vale Mills neighborhood
The young people all enjoyed them
selves TO their hearts content and
hope the Lord smiled on the old
widows and bachelors-the girls
didn't have time.
Col. D. W. Burch some time
ago offered a new chopppiDg ak as a
premium to the person bringing the
four heaviest ears of corn raised this
year, to be delivered and weighed
Nov. 1st. James Allen got the Ak,
his four ears weighing 81 pounds
on the cob and a shelled. Sixty
ears were selected and shelled and
weighed 500 pounds. The finest
seed corn can be had by applying
to d. w. Burch at this place.
The average yield of corn is
better than was expected. Also
the cotton crop has surpassed any
yield for several years; our gins are
running early and late; mercantile
business more active than was an
ticipated; acreage of wheat sown
far beyond the crop of the past
season; preparation for a large
plant of cotton next year; financial
condition of the country around
improving very fast; hog cholera
still invading the stock Of some of
our farmers; quite a number Of
mules are being fed for the south
ern market; large number OF fatted
cattle will be sent from this section
in the latter part of the winter; the
hog crop will fall short of our usu
al shipments; potatoes more than
an average crop; the usual amount
of grasses will be sown.
&C. w. Watson had TIE misfor-
tune to lose his fine stallion, Old
Hardee, whose reputation is well
known all over Giles and all the adj
joining counties. He is a great !
loss, not only to Capt. Watson, but
to the neighborhood.
Most everything now is a sue
cess with Taylor at the wheel eX7
cept marriages; but three engage
ments and several gates now being
swung on; all will be right soon.
