BRIEF LOCAL MENTION

BRlEF LOUAL MENI1UN.
: Let everybody turn out to hea
the little admiral tomorrow.
/ There is going to be a weddin:
hereabouts in not very long time
Guess who.
Sunday was the first sunshiny
day we have had for about two
weeks. Rain fell nearly every day
for that time.
i The ladies of the Presbyterian
church propose giving a concert
about the "a of this month. Miss
Alice Wales musical director.
/ Messrs. Brannan &ISmith have re
ceived a large lot Of their new
goods and will be delighted to show
them.
| Pulaski is the N ost orderly place
Of it's size in the country. This state
of things must be accounted for in q
measure by the alertness of our ex-
cellent policemen.
We have heard that there is some
probability of an independent can
didate, for the legislature in this
county but don't know that there
is any foundation for the rumor.
The CITIZEN reporter will furnish
the public with complete report
Of the third annual exhibition of the
live stock association at Campbells-
Vile for the next issue.
The date Of the regular meeting
of the j. H. Woodbridge bivouc as
given in our directory on fourth
page is wrong. 1t should be first
Saturday instead of last.
Our Merchants, with the excep-
ton of Messrs. Rosenau and Rose,
have returned from the eastern
markets. Their goods will follow
shortly.
There will be a meeting of the
Woman's Missionary Society of the
Methodist church next Tuesday
afternoon at the Parsonage. The
hour will be announced at church
Sunday morning.
The Lynnville communication
published to day was crowded out
of last issue. The reader will re-
member that the items are week
old, but they are like old wine.
Lynn is always interesting.
Every institution in the city es-
tablished tor the laudible purpose
of teaching the young idea how to
shoot has at least one representa-
tive of Col. Peck's Extensively &C.
centric male progeny in attendance.
Mr.. Hick Ballentine's fine saddle
mare got tangled up in wire fence
Saturday evening and injured her,
self. Her legs and shoulders were
badly cut and lacerated. Dr.. Will
son dressed the wounds and she IS
improving.
The Nashville American in To-
eating the ten confederate bivouac's
of the state places the John H.
Woodbridge, No. s, at Tullahoma.
Pulaski claims the honor of being
the home of Capt. Woodbridge and
the bivouac named for him is loca.
ted here.
There are many people, includ-
ing a number Of editors, who are
mistaken in their impressions as to
what the selarv of the governor of
Tennessee is. Section 222, Milllken
and Vertree's code, says the salary
of the governor shall be $4,000
year.
Cannot our local amateur must
cal or dramatic talent or both com
bined get up an entertain ment for
the benefit of the Florida sufferers2
We have the talent if some one
will take the lead and organize it.
Who will step forward and get up
an entertainment. Prompt action is
necessary.
A reliable travelling man of Nash
vile arrived in Pulaski yesterday
morning and reported that there
was death of citizen at Decatur
Tuesday from yellow fever. He had
slept with refugee fIom Florida
about two weeks previous. The
gentleman reported that the citizens
of Decatur werel fleeing the city.
We saw nothing of the matter in
the Nashville papers of yesterday.
A friend living near the Lincoln
county line, while others were dis
cussing the merits of different pat
ent medicines, complacently re-
marked: "f don't know much about
your B. B. B. or your c. G. c. or
your S. S. S., but I just tell you O.
L. G is good enough bitters for me-"
o: course we didn't know anything
about the bitters last referred to.
We saw a school book in the
hands of a child few days ago
which he was studying and which
be said he would get through this
session and take "higher grade"
a full, PRACTICAL knowledge of which
would qualify him for bank CASH
Ter. But the child will get though
with it and next session be ad-
vaced to higher study and 80 on
until he graduates and then with
his diploma in his pocket he can't
stand a creditable examination in
the book he is now smattering over.
The season has closed at Elk
mont and the hotel is closed to the
public. A little more liberal sys-
tenn of advertising by the manage
ment in time another season would
probably increase the popularity of
the springs. The water is fine, the
location healthy and the hotel &C
commodations we're said to be
splendid. But there were not
enough people who knew these
facts this last season and they will
not know it next unless they are
told OF it. A little judicious sd-
vertising at different points would
draw larger crowds. We say this
in a friendly spirit to the lessee and
the owners.
