The Citizen will positively be issued on Friday,
the 5th inst, and regularly each week thereafter.
Weinvite our friends to call and get specimen cop
les. 1t is the official paper of Giles cOunty-con-
tanning each week, besides the commercial and mar
ket reports, Congressional Legislative and pseella
neous news from all parts of the countrya concise
and reliable report of all local, County and State
news, together with the proceedings of Courts and
public meetings held in the county.
In sending out prospectus for the Pulaski Citi-
zen, we deem it useless to inict upon the people of
Giles county, who know us so well, lengthy and
unnecessary address, detailing its political status
You all familiar with its career before the war,
and are well acquainted with Our ideas of govern
ment and political economy, as announced from
week to week before the war. The Citizen win be
the same paper that it was them far it can be
Consistent with The new order of things. ofcOurse
twill recognize the death of slavery AID accord to
the lateslaves all the rights and immunities which
their new situation entities them to. Believing 1t
to the interest of the white race as well the black
for friendly relations exist between the two,
would exhort the former to be generous and liberal,
and the latter to be patent moral industrious and
provident-to raise themselvesb by industry and ed
u.ation to higher standard morally, socially and
intellectually Let the white men of the South
arove themselves the truest best friend the negro
has, and then let the negro prove himself true to
the white man. We woult raise the negro to
a social level with the white man. We believe so
cial equality a humbug and a impossibility. Nor
would we take from them the means of education
and reform. Let them be educated if they can be,
and they at once know their true relation to the
other race We will oppose negro suffrage, but un-
der all the circumstances as they exist IN Tennessee,
we believe it best that Sc admitted to the civil
Courts to SIC and be sued, plead and be impleaded
We Of course viii not become the organ of any
party, sect or individual, but win take high, indie
pendent grOund->advocatin that which seems to
best for country, flashing parties and parti-
Fans whenever they come in the way. We were
not partizan before the war, and our friends may
rest assured we much less partizan now. Our
object viii be to print paper well filed with lite
nature, market and financial reports, interesting
miscellany and news from all parts Of the world
escheWlDg party ana DONG cVeryth we can Tor
the interest of our town. county, State and country
So far as President J ohnson's administration has
developed his policy toward the seeded States and
towards the late rebels, we win give him our cor
dial approval If he pursues to the end the course
indicated by his recent acts and sayings, as we un
derstand them, his administration viii have been
just, generous and statesmanike and the people of
America viii accord to him the honor of bringing
order out chaos restoring civil and religious lib
erty to the country, crushing out the germs of
archy and confusion which had well nigh ruined u.s.
ana of restoring the government to its original pu-
rity. In contradistinction the radical party who
seek rule his administration for base party purpo
ses, tic President has shown himself wise and good
We commence the Citizen with a very small sub
scrption list and the future for an increase
of patronage We request every friend Of the en-
terprise aid in getting mp large list
We hope no one viii consider his services unnoces
sary, but let every true friend take prospectus,
show it to the country people and the town people,
and let every man subscribe. Receive no name
without the money.
