The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1866-02-02


dare to intimate he is as good as "a hirper.
but the last opinion meets with but slight
favor, but goodly number are cohssrain-
ed to believe that he is in some way con
nected with The bureau" from his constant
y prowling about the village in night time,
freqpenLing out of the way places, and find
ing "head quarters in huts inhabited by the
colored population"
A very few ,enterprising individuals, are
SO enthusiastic on the subject, that they
go so far as to express the opinion that he
is here f9r the sole purpose Of. encouraging
the generous and liberal hearted people of
Giles, to como forward and pay to you, Mr..
Editor, the small pittance of 90, take
the "CITrzEN" and enable you to enlarge,
and put new life and Vigor into that indie
spensable institution, a county paper But
these men are mad, or at least unreasona-
bic. If that was his object, he would trans
act that business, in public, and in broad
open daylight; and not be afraid to publish
to the world an enterprise in which all are
interested. And again it is not necessary,
that the good People of Giles, should import
a stranger to effect so laudabIe an object.
The time is not far distant when heg he7n-
selves will take that matter in hand and come
up, to a man, and subscribe for the "CIrI-
zEN'' without the introduction of the ''Mys-
terious Stranger" Their county p ride will
dictate this to them, and they agW come.
There are few knowing ones, who say
that he is about to establish freedmen's
School with very liberal provisions, per-
hitting the children of acsite citizens to en-
ter if they can produce certificate of good
character, from one ofthe '' Colored League
cOuntersigned by the Secretary of that in
stituton.
The ladies say that he is here on a court
ing tour, but some .enyious slanderer insists
that he is already married and has, some
where in the North, a wife and three child
rem, which report is unfortunate for his sue
cess, as the ladies are unwilling to form
such alliance unless they are permanent.
heard very observant man say that
the mysterious Stranger" is an architect
and his business was with the county court,
and elders of the respective churches. to
urge the preservation of the public build
iugs and churches, by prompt repair from
their shameful condition.
But really, Mr.. Editor, am at loss
to find out what is the distinguished 'Strag
gers business here, but he is surely re-
markable for energy, and is undoubtedly
very social gentleman, for he can be
found almost tall hours at some one Of the
0aany saloons of the village, in exceeding
great glee, and have heard it said that
his much walking has worn out his boots,
and that his very frequent visits to the
aforesaid Saloons is for the purpose Of hav-
ing them repaired, bat owing to the PRESS
Of matters he has not been able to have
it done as yet.
1t is smartly suspected by many that he
is either Bill Arp or Artemus Ward, and
is here in on hunting excursion, 'to shoot
folly as it flies" and thinks the village pro-
duces an abundance OF game
At any rate, Mr.. Editor, he s a singular
parsonage, and l hope you will diligently
watch his movements, to sore the mystery
of his hereabouts.
