The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1867-02-15
Wanted--.sOmebOdY to "Cuss.

Almost all Of our exchanges in Tennes-
see have pet in the Legislature, whom
they regard it their especial privilege and
duty to:pitch into occasionallyiand give him
particular fits. We have no objection to
this, and only regret that we have no dog
up there to kick We don't care a dog on
about having a representative, but we want
somebody to "cuss" little. Having no
dog of our own, we have looked around for
somebody else's dog to kick little. We
thought of giving the heroic captain, rep
resehtatiYe from Lawrence, a complimenta-
ry notice, but as he passed through our
city few days ago and never noticed any
body but his own set, who congregate most.
ly around Paddy Dinkin's hotel at the de-
pot, we have concluded to treat him with
like contemptuous silence, and not give
him the benefit Of a notice in these columns.
The Confederate shoe contractor from
our neighboring county of Maury gets full
justice at the hands of the press; but it
seems that our friend TOMMY KERoHEvAL,
the gallant Representative from Lincoln, is
about to be forgotten, both by the folks at
home and by the Nashville papers. Now,
this oightn't to be, for TOMMY is a gallant
little fellow, or used to be. We remember
when the said T. K. strutted around as
large as life, with his commission in his
pocketas Major of the poesZi5h in 1862, and
sitting quietly at home, wrote blood and
thunder letters to his rebel friends in Vir-
GINA, saying that he-had been elected Ma
ior of-the militia, and in a short time he
expected to be ordered to East Tennessee
to whip out Andy johnson and his party.
Now, Tom, you must not become offended
at us for thus bringing you into notice as
you did once before. You remember that
YOU got very mad at US for publishing these
same facts to our readers and your constit-
uents in Lincoln once before. AS you
hadn't visited your friends there in two or
three years, (and haven't yet that we know
Of we were afraid that you would be for
gotten by them, aud we consider it nothing
but charitable in US to give you another no
While conducting public journal in
Lincoln county last year. we brought the
foregoing facts on TOMMY to light through
our columns in a good natured way, and
having always beenou friendl y terms with
him, we were surprised on our next visit
to Nashville that our distinguished little
representative wouldn't recognize US. We
had the honor of sitting at the same table
! with him at the hotel several times, face
too face, but we never did succeed il
katching his eye. This mortified Us
very much. We were surprised Tom
do you remember that great big, long han
died, long bladed knife which you presen
ted US just about the time we started out
with your approving smile, to help whiI
the nasty yankees, and the promise yor
made that you would soon be with US. W.
4 remember it we'll, and we never cut peic,
of 'bull beef" in Dixie with that knit
that we didn't think of the gallant Majo
and well-wisher to the rebellion who pre-
scented it to US.
Now, Tom, you are no longer our dog
but we feel, from these circumstances, tia
we have right, when other friends forge
you, to pet you a little occasionally, an
we hope that the friendly relations existin
between US heretofore will deter you fror
becoming offended at US, and, also, our Of
friends in Lincoln from becoming angr
because we are playing with their dog.
