The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1886-10-28
IynnvitIe.

One of the saddest tragedies we
ever heard of occurred here last
Tuesday evening. We refer to the
tragic death of Berry Morrow, an
old and respected citizen OF Big
creek, by being run over and man
gled to death under the wheels of
the south bound freight train. Mr..
NJ. had brought over some pork
hogs lin which he was a great
trader) that day and sold them. He
was walking on the railroad plat
form when the train approached
him slowly from behind. Just as
the engine was in a few feet of him
he stepped off on the track and in
an instant he was struck and some
dozen-cars passed over him, cutting
him all to pieces. On Thursday
evening Mrs. Cline barely escaped
in passing before the north bound
mail train. The road passing
through the center of our town, our
folks have gotten very careless Of
its dangers.
Mrs. II. t. Campbell died the
night of the 10Th after long illness
with consumption. Everything was
done for her that skill or kindness
could suggest. She was a noble
christian woman whom everybody
loved. She was inferred at Camp
bellsville, her old home. Their es-
TEEN of her was attested by the i'm
mense crowd that attended the fu-
neral services. She leaves three
children. The youngest is very
sick and it is feared it too has con-
sumption. DR.. Campbell has the
sympathy of everybody in this deep
affection.
-Lynnville had 81 in the excur-
sion to Louisville, many of them
students of Prof. Tandy's school
who were chaperoned by Miss Sa-
die Stonwood, his accomplished as
sistant.
Sacramento services will be
held Saturday and Sunday next at
the Presbyterian church. Rev. W.
II. Groves will be assisted by DR..
Lupton of GAINESVILLE. The meet
ing will be protracted. DR.. Lupton
has a great reputation as revival
ist and a preacher of great power.
Mrs. Neil Owens of Nashville
is visiting her three children at j.
S. Tate's this week.
-Rob't E. Wilsford, who has
been in the grain business with his
uncle at Kansas City, Mo, came
home the past week. He had chills
from which he is recovering. The
strike ruined their business.
Myrtle, little daughter of VIM.
Davis, fell in pan of hot water,
scalding one arm and hand badly
Sunday morning.
The speaking here Saturday
drew a good crowd and our nomi-
nees made good speeches, but gave
the Blair bill nearly all their atten-
ton. Their arraignment of the re-
publican party was caustic and I'M
ansWerable.
j. w. Dyer OF Pulaski was here
Saturday in the interest of the
Cumberland Telephone Company
and secured subscribers enough to
justify the erection of a telephone
line from Columbia TO Pulaski with
an Office here, the need of which
has long been felt.
Our little student preacher,
Thos. Beckham, from Texas, who
went to school here last year, is as
signed circuit in Clay county.
We find the following compli-
mentary notice in an Alabama pa
per of a young man who lived here
a year and is brother of H. NJ.
Fleming: Prof. VIM. S. Fleming
has been elected professor of an
cient and modern languages and
history in the A. & M. College, Au
burn, Ala. He is young gentle
man of superior scholarly attain
ments having enjoyed the largest
advantages to be afforded by the
highest literary institutions of the.
country. He is graduate of the
John Hopkins University, of Balti-
more, where he secured a scholar
ship and pursued a postgraduate
course Of some two years. He also
served for some time az a professor
in Davidson College, n. c., which
position he filled with remarkable
SUCCESS. He entered upon his du-
ties at Auburn the Arst inst. The
professor is a son Of our esteemed
citizen and retired merchant, W. s.
Fleming, who, in his early life, was
also a prominent educator.
We unintentionally overlooked
mentioning last week the opening
of new grocery store here by Jno.
j. Garrett in the house lately occu
pied by Mr. Bradshaw.
Cotton, corn, cattle, hogs, cot
ton seed, etc, are coming in lively
and selling briskly and business
has a better outlook than in five
years, We think times will soon
be much better. LYNN.
