Mr.. H. M. MATTHEwsoN, a compassion in

We know that our TYPO" will receive
the congratulations of the entire communi-

welcomed 10 our midst.

will render unnecessary the usual warnings
about pressing his forms" and working

and that printing and poetry may mingle

Central Southern Railroad.

We take great pleasure in announcing to
our readers that, under the energetic man
agement the superintendent and directors,
permanent bridges over the streams crossed
by this road are all completed, and that the
bridges themselves are the finest structures
of the kind to be found made Of wood. The
temporary structures being thus superse-
ded by such bridges, we may hereafter dis
miss all apprehensions of interruption
after from the sweeping away, by floods, of
the tresde bridges with which we have so
long been taxed. The motive power and
the rolling stock belonging to the Nashville
and Decatur Railroad line are all of the best
kind, and ample to do any amount of work
which may be offered.
The future Of this road we regard as en-
couraging. The entire line of communica-
ton, extending south to Selma and Mont
gomery, is let to contract, and in a few
years will be completed. When this is
done we will have the grand trunk railroad
to the gulf passing through the heart of our
county and State, rendering all investments
in the stock of the Central Southern equally
profitable, if not more SO, with the stock in
the Memphis and Charleston, or any other
railroad in the south.

Reaections-sehools.

In a few years more the little boys, whom
we meet every day in the streets with their
kites, marbles and return balls, will be call
ed upon to act their parts as men in the dra-
ma of life. The time Aswiftly approach
ing when the reins of government will be
given over into their hands. Only a few
1eeting years will pass before the little girls
of to-day will be matrons-themselves the
guardians and instructors ofyouthfuI minds.
How important then that our youth, of Oh
sexes, should now be receiving that educa-
tional training which will fit them for she
important and responsible duties so soon to
devolve upon them--duties to themselves,
duties to society and duties to their God.
Have our readers reflected how sadly ed
ucation is neglected in Pulaski? There
are no educational facilities here, and, un-
ell recently, no disposition has been mani
tested on the part of our citizens to create
any. We learn with pleasure, however,
that there is now some interest felt in the
matter, and the question of raising by sub
scription a sum sufficient to build female
college, and similar sum to rebuild Giles
College, is being discussed. We under
stand that from full canvass of the matter
among the parents and guardians Of the
community, the probabilities are that TWEEN
ty-fve thousand dollars could be raised at
once for the purpose of erecting the neces-
sary buildings for a Female School. Every
man and woman is interested in this matter,
and it is presumed that every man, in sub
scribing literally in SO laudable an enter
prise, will feel that he is casting bread upon
the waters, to be gathered again.
The duties we owe to our children, the
interest we should feel in the growth and
prosperity of our town, to say nothing of IN
dividual interests, pecuniary and social, all
demand that the books be Immediately pre-
pared and opened. Let an educational
meeting be called at the court house, and
the work commenced at once. Such a call
emanating from the Mayor would be very
proper, especially if he were backed by the
Board of Alderman with an appropriation
OF several thousand dollars, or a resolution
TO submit such proposition to vote oI
she corporation.
