The Last and Greatest
Outrage.

The Press and Times sets up
the following bitter cry:
The people of Pulaski have shown
the most remarkable bitterness
and contemplate meanness in con-
nection with Captain Judd, the
Bureau agent there. They have
actually combined to ostracise him
from the community. Himself
and family hare been turned of
from, boarding-ho,sses, and he IS nOlo
compelled to lice as best he mag IA
has office.
What better evidence could a
Radical require to convince him
of the disloyalty of the people
of Giles county? In all the his
tory of ostracism and treason,
Capt. Judd, an officer of the Fed
eral government, the Agent of
the Bureau, the friend and guar.
dian of the prosecuted freedmen,
has become the sanity victim of
the most deliberate, cruel and
heartless treatment at the hands
of the people of Pulaski! Such
is the spirit of the complaint.
But how does this tally with
the fact that, on the first day of
August, Brownlow received one
thousand uotes at Pulaski, while
Etheridge only received torty-atree?
In the whole of Giles county
Brownlow received eighteen hun
dred and seventy-nine votes, while
Etheridge received one hundred
and fifty-threel Is it not wonder
full that where there are so many
sympathetic Radicals, the Bureau
Agent should find himself spurn-
ed from every door in Pulaski,
and compelled to live as best he
may in his Office? How can it be
possibly accounted for?

A New Way of Getting a Drink.


A good joke is told on one of our clev
er saloon keepers, which is too full OF
genuine humor, under pressing circum-
stances" to be lost:
A short time ago representative of the
Green Isle stepped into the saloon of the
person above alluded to, and with a coun-
tenance full of inquiry, said:
An have you got any good rye wbis
ky"
Yes, very good; the best in town. .
said the saloon man.
An have you got any halfpint bot
ties, my good mani"
Yes" was the reply.
4" An will you please to gil one with
your best rye whisky for me?"
OF course" said the obliging dealer
and after reaching for the required flask
and spending a full halfhour in cleaning
it, repaired to the cellar, drew half pint
Of his Bourbon, and presented it to the
gentleman in waiting.
Pat took the bottle, raised it to his
lips, swallowed about half of its contents,
and then, after making the appropriate
face over it, said in very confidential
tone:
Will you please sit this to one. side
till / call for it,"
The saloon keeper, smelling large
sized rat trap full of small mice" carefully
slowed away the half-flled bottle. The
fellow never called for it, but took this
novel way of obtaining drink.
