PROSPECTUS.


The citizen VIII positively be issued on Friday,
the 5th inst, and regularly each week thereafter
We invite our friends to call and get specimen cop
les. It is the official paper of Giles cOunty-cOn-
tanning each week, besides the commercial and mar
ket reports Congressional Legislative and miscela
neous news from all parts of the country 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
GEN. we deem it useless to infict upon the people of
Giles county, who know us so well, lengthy and
unnecessary address, detailing its political status.
GU are 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 viii be
the soe paper that it was then, so far it be
consistent with the new order of things. Of course
twill recognize the death of slavery AID accord to
the late slaves all the ghts and immunites which
their new situation entities them to. Believing
to the interest Of the white well the black
for friendly relations to exist between the two we
would exhort the former to be generous and liberal,
and the latter to be PATENT moral industrious and
pLvident-to raise themselves by industry and ed
usation to a higher standard morally, socially and
intellectually. Let the whit Of the South
prove themselves the truest, best friend the negro
has and then-let the NEGRO prove himself true to
the white man. We would pov raise the negro to
a social level with the white man. We believe SO
cial equality humbug and an Nor
would we take from them the
and reform. Let them be
and they at once knse, '--0
der all the circumstances as they exist in Tennessee
we believe it best that he be admitted to the civil
Courts to and be sued, plead and be impleaded.
We of course will not become the organ of any
party, sect or individual, but viii take high, indie
pendent ground-advocating that which seems to
US best for our country, flashing parties and part-
zans whenever they come in the way. We were
not partizan before the war, and our friends may
rest assured we are much less partizan now. Our
object will be to print paper well filed with lite
rature market and financial reports, interesting
miscellany and news from all parts of the world
eschewing party and doing everything we can for

So far as President Johnson's administration has
developed his policy toward the seeded States and
towards the late rebels, viii give him our cor
dial approval If he pursues to the end the course
indicated by his recent acts and sayings as we
derstand them, his administration viii have been
just generous and statesmanlike, and the people of
America viii accord to him the honor of bringing
order out ofchaos, restoring civil and religious lib
erty to the country, crushing the germs Of an
archy and confusion which had well nigh ruined Us,
ana of restoring the government to its original pu
rty. In contradistinction to the radical party who
seek to rule his administration for base party purpo
ses tie President has shown himself wise and good.
We commence the Citizen with a very small sub
scrpon list, and the future for an increase
of patronage. We request every friend of the en-
terprise to aid in getting up large list at
We hope no one viii consider his services urneces-
sary, but let every TINE friend take prospectus,
show it to the country people and the town people
and let every man subscribe. Receive no name
