The Pulaski, Citizen, January 22, 1880 edition. We are glad to note the arrival from Texas of our worthy friend Charley Fraley, and sincerely hope that he has had enough of the Lone Star State and will remain in old Giles. The Pulaski Citizen, February 19, 1880 edition. Mr. H.M. Bradley, a thrifty Michigan farmer, who has been prospecting in this and Lawrence County for several months past, registered at the Linden Tuesday enroute for home. We understand that he is much pleased with the soil climate and people of this section and will probably return and locate permanently. Lynnville News Larkin Garrett and family are to start to Paris, Texas, this week, whither his son went a year ago. He has been a citizen of Lynnville for years. Has been in the grocery, the livery and wagon business and run a farm. So that he has experience to carry with him if no more. We hope he will succeed in his western home.
The Pulaski Citizen, May 6, 1880 edition. We have to record the death of Mr. and Mrs. William Cameron, which occurred on the 22d and 24th of April last. They removed to Texas about two years ago but returned last winter and were stopping at the residence of their son, Mr. George Cameron, on Dry creek.

The Pulaski Citizen Supplement, July 22, 1880 edition. Mr. Charlie Miler and his daughter in company with Messrs J.C. W�ler, and W.L. and Henry Gains, all of Texas, are on a visit to relatives here now. The Miller family are having pleasant reunions in consequence of this unexpected visit. We hope their visit will be pleasant indeed. They give a glowing account of the Lone Star state. Mr. George Gilham, who went to Texas last year has returned with his family, but gives a different color to the prospects there. (I�m not sure what the W- -ler is, but could possibly be Waller). JKS
The Pulaski Citizen, July 29, 1880 edition. Our community has been enjoying a festive season for some time. The relatives and friends of our Texas visitors have made their welcome good in the shape of dinings at which were recounted the scenes of other days, enlivened occasionally with a bright picture of the advantages and benefits of the Lone Star State. The genial presence of Miss Nannie Miller adds greatly to these occasions, and to enhance the pleasure of her visit her Tennessee cousins have given her the benefit of several social parties, at which gathered the elite of the neighborhood. Her suavity of manners and amiable disposition render her a favorite in the social circle here and judging by the smiling faces that we see sometimes justifies the remark that someone will have an severe attack of the Texas fever. Mr. J.C. Waller, who is one of the number, stopped in West Tennessee to visit his sister, but arrived her last Wednesday much to the delight of his old friends who are glad to see his face again.
The Pulaski Citizen, August 12, 1880 edition. Esq. J.H. Crenshaw, who has been in Texas for six months past, returned this week for his family. He is a good mechanic and reports that he gets good wages and likes the country. Our young friend Joe Knox, starts to Texas next week. He says he will be gone 3 years. Thomas Helmic started for Arkansas last week. He went in a two-horse wagon with his family. He thinks he can do well in that new country. Among our visitors this week were Mr. Townsend of Hillsboro, and Mr. Percy Shoemaker, of Moulton, Alabama. Mr. Townsend lived her in �72 and made friends of all who knew him *************** Mr. Bart Roberts, accompanied by his wife, left for Hot Springs, Ark., Tuesday. (Not quite sure if they left on a short trip or migrated there to live). JKS
