greater IMAM any lapse since l took
up my pencil as correspondent eight
years ago. A cough / got in 81 at
Richmond and has been an hourly
reminder of our late unpleasantness
has been much worse and feared
fiuis would soon be written on this
and all my other works, but / am
happily better now. There have
been hundred incidents in this
month happened worthy of notice
the most of which l will pass in ST.
lence by. There has never been
more deaths in like time. Our
undertaken, T. G.. Mcmahon, says
he he's been engaged in a burial just
half the Sundays this year.
Mrs. Thos. Evans died last We'd
nesday of lux. She was q member
of the Cumberland church and was
highly esteemed by all who knew
her for her good qualities of head
and heart. She left two small boys
and a sorely bereaved husband.
Mrs. j. J. Compton died of con.
sumption. She was a daughter of
the late Monroe Brown and leaves
many warm friends.
Mrs. w. c. Smith has been quite
sick for several weeks and her
friends feel much concern for her.
Miss Mary Houston is sick with
a pulmonary trouble Of long stand
ing. 1t is hoped with her energy
and the doctors skill she will soon
be up again.
Jim Fox has a boy 10 years old
who fell slightly hurting his knee
some eight weeks ago. The knee
rose and has run freely. The bone
has become involved and it is fear
ed nothing but amputation will save
the boy. He has stood eight weeks
of suffering like hero.
j. j. Garrett who left here a year
ago and settled at Honey Grove,
Texas, came in last week on visit.
He was born and reared here and
says there is no place to him like
Lynnville. He says be has never
missed a number of The CITIZEN
since its first number 10 1860. 1t lie
needless to say he is a warm friend
Of THE CITIZEN and will continue to
take it till the demise of one or the
other, which we hope will be long
deferred.
The most dastsrdly action we
have heard of occurred one night
the past week. Bill James Is ia
nous for his fine water melons and
had patch of some two acres Of
very fine ones. Some wretch went
in with blocks on his feet and pull
ed up all vines but few short rows.
Nothing more diabolical could be
conceived.
j. A. Martin has been in poor
health all this year but was able
Sunday to visit his brother, N. E.
Martin.
10 Goldman is putting in a new
boiler and engine to his water mill
which will enable him to grind all
the time and supply long felt
want.
j. W. Burrow and wife, nee Miss

ing the latter's mother, Mrs. NJ. E.
Spivy, the past week. They brought
new edition in pink and white in

past week. They were looking for
some fine horses for the track and
stud.
Mrs. Gill of Co unbia came down
last week and is visiting her son,
Bill Gill. She is 81 and q model OF
an old woman. She is spry as q
girl and says she has not even had
a headache in 40 years.
The marriage Of Charlie Reed
June 81 was with Miss Lille and
not Miss Mary Witt as noticed last
week. Miss Lille has long been q
belle if not the belle of Lynnville.
Mr.. Reed hut again displayed the
good Judgment for which Alabam-
mians are noted-playing for the
highest stakes. He won and hal
the congratulation Of every Alaham
milan in Tennessee in his rare good
fortune. He deserves it all.
The hum of the thresher Is heard
on all sides. Grain is immensely
better than anticipated. Corn ani
cotton is fine and fruit was never
more abundant; we have cause tt
he happy.
