The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1889-09-12
Oampbellsville.

Our reporter furnishes the fol-
lowing interesting account of his
visit to the stock show at Camp.
bellsville, where he was treated
royalty. We also give another ac-
count in another column.
The occasion and exhibit at
Canpbellsville on last Saturday,
7th inst, was one of so much in
terest and Importance, we think
the readers of THE CITIZEN eener-
ally, should hear f it.
The horses and mules, both
young and old ones, on exhibition,
were many and generally of a su-
perior quality.
The occasion drew out quite a
multitude of people, old and young,
male and female, estimated at near
1000 persons.
The competition in the show
ring, on exhibition of colts. saddle
horses and fast PAGERS &c, was at
times quite spirited, and npon the
whole exhibit, we will say that it
is but seldom, that we see it ex
celled if equaled, on any one day Of
our annual County Fairs. But no
person need be surprised at such a
display of fine and usefu, animals
at Campbellsville. If he will only
travel around little through that
Big Creek country and adjacent
neighborhoods and see the abund-
ant crops of corn, wheat, oats, clio
yer and grasses produced on rich
and productive soils, and learn
that it Is a grain, grass and stock
producing section of our county
and that the lands have not been
worn and exhausted by cotton, as
in other parts Of the county.
At noon the dinner spread by
the good ladies of that prosper.
Gus community in quantity quality
andvariety; showed that mules and
horses, constituted only a small
part OF the annual productions oil
their farmers; and also the furthe,
fact, Ii our appetite deceived us
} not) that in the art of cooking,
these women are certainly ex'
perts. But to show how rapidly
that favored portion of our county
is progressing and prospecting, f.
nancially, socially and morally
/ The best yet remains to be told
1t was the subject of general re
mark, that iE that large concours'
of people, there was not to be seer
a single drunken man, neither wa!
: there profane or obscene word spo
ken. But the audience resemblet
NOR congregation of people as
sembled on the Sabbath day fol
religious worship.
Upon comment and inquiry W
learned that it is now but seldom
: that any dissipation is practiced, o
crime committed in that neighbor
e hood; and when IL does occur, j
generally caused by some of th
7 more indlscrett citizens vlsitin
:. either Pulaski OF Lynnville an
t filling themselves with an overdos

The question then NATURAL
e ARISES, what has caused sue
3, great reformation In the Camp
J; bellsville country. For we r.
e member the time when misdemear
q ors and sometimes murders, wer
y as frequent there as In any othe
is portion of our county. The CHI
y answer is, that the most fruitfV
y crime producing feature in tbs
is neighborhood was removed SON
81 years ago under proper legal r.
ie straint, and the people have bee
% saving their money and prosperin
ever since. And now no case
