Information has been received here from

people Of that island are highly indignant
at the appointment OF negro TO represent

How Many win Follow Suit ?

We know two poor men in Pulaski, each
Of whom proposes TO give-not lend or sub
scribe-but give. 500 to each of FIVE turn
pixies running out ten miles from Pulaski
in different directions. The object is to
build road to Brick Church, then one to
the Campbellsville country. one running
west, one south west and one east from
town. There is no way of estimating the
benefit that these pixies would be. not on
ly to Pulaski but to the people of the whole
county. Lands aud other real estate would
be worth double what they are now worth.
Business of every kind would revive in
Pulaski; soon, as if by magic, machine
shops and factories of every description
would spring up, and Pulaski become a
young manufacturing city. There is no
doubt but this is the starting point for the
accomplishment of these desirable ends
Why not begin the work But let US ma he
a suggestion. Could not system of roads
be devised which would permeate every
part of the county and prove a benefit 10
almost every man in it? If SO why may
we not build them by taxation and make
them county institutions-provided the
taxpayers alone could be allowed to settle
the question for themselves. By this means
the contribution of each man would be
comparatively Insignificant. and the roads
could all be built at once. The future tolls
would certainly be sufficient to keep them
up. and there would be no more necessity
for farmers to quit their crops to work up
on bad roaIs as they now have to do some
times. But we submit this only as a sug-
gestion, and if there is any better way to
get the roads. built, why, we are for it
Only let US have the turnpikes, somehow.
''To be OF not to be, that is the question
Whether tits nobler in the mud to suffer
The jOlts and jars of a sticky mud road,
Or to take arms against host of green-horns,
And, by opposing, to rout them?-To gas, to pirate
No more, and by a vote to say we end

A Lost Father and Brother.

We ask our contemporaries throughout
the Southern States. and especially those
of Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia, and North
and South Carolina, to copy the following
letter from a destitute and distressed
daughter and sister in search of her lost
father and brother. Read the letter, and
if it does not appeal to your sympathies
eloquently enough to induce you to give it
d wide circulation, then we are very much
mistaken in the character of the men who
control the Southern press
PULASKI, GILES COUNTY, TENNEssEE.)
May. 18th, 1869.
EDITOR PULASKI CITIZEN Il desire to
ask your assistance, and that of the South
ern press generally. in finding loved and
lost parent and a most affectionate and de-
voted brother. My father, BENZ. Boulder,
was school teacher in The county of Cooke,
in Eastern Tennessee, and was known as a
rebel. On account of his honest coDvic-
tions in favor of Southern independence
he was driven from home, and his family
robbed of everything they had. The last
we heard Of him he was in North Carolina
He is a native of Charlotte county, Va, and
made that his home during the latter part
of the war, but have written to postmas-
ters and others in both States and have not
been able to hear anything whatever from
him. Ny brother (Thomas) was a rebel
soldier, and was wounded in the left shout
der at Fort Donelson he came home, and
after getting well, JOINED Captain Wash s
company, was made first Lieutenant, and
served during the war. After the surren-
der, he came home and remained there
quietly until June, when the same demo-
MAC spirit drove him away, which prompt
ed an East Tennessee Union mob, to which
Kuklux or even devils forgive me y are
saints, to rush my poor old father away
from his helpless family. and then rob them
like insatiate tends. Ny brother went to
school at Sand Hill, n. c., for while, but
the last we heard of him he was in Georgia
After waiting and watching and praying
for their return, 0, ever so many weary
days and weeks and months, with no It'd
ings, no friends to hel p US, and DO ties to
bind US to our once loved home, we moved
to Giles county, and hope by the grace of
God and the assistance of friends. to exc
out some kind of living until their retsrn
or tidiugs of some kind reach US from them
Ny father and brother were each six feet
high and of fair complexion. Father was
an afectionate and devoted man to his fami-
" and was himself beloved by all who
knew him. His smile was the Joy of my
own young life; his bounty supplied my
wants, and his love trewed my path with
flowers. How justly may [ sa my hapPi-

brother here. We are in a helpless condi-
ton, destitute of all of the comforts of life

finding the loved and lost ones. I cannot
write more. Bear with me and help me if
you can. MARTHA BOULDER.

Columbians Abroad .

A late number of the Pulaski Citizen
announces the fact that new Bank has
been established at Pulaski, called The
Richland Savings Bank. end that two OF
its principal officers are from Columbia,
Col. J. w. Huntington and VIM. J. Parkes,
Esq Our first impulse after learning this
was to congratulate the good people of
Giles upon their rare good luck in obtain
ing two such new citizens, until we hap
pened to think that it was all at our own
expense. Mr. Parkes has been one of our
most successful and enterprisiDg business
men and will aid materially in building
up the business of the town in which he
casts his fortunes; while we predict that
Col. Huntington will be liked better after
he expiration of the first year than at it's
beginning, better after the second than the
first, better after the third than the second,
better after the fourth than the third, and
so on, still better and better-Herald.

What of Tennessee 2


The Press and Times has gone to work
with the right spirit, in nearly everything
except disfranchisement. Let its other" ise

prejudices on this point, and let US all la
Dor with and for the common prosperity
of our people and State. Come. Grisham,
be as liberal with US as you are to immi
grants in the following sensible article
which meets our endorsement:

view are asking this question. We answer,
it is a goodly land, both as to soil and eli.
mate. Its breath is burdened with balm,
and its pure waters and rock ribbed noun

unemployed of the East it presents definite
attractions. Thousands of men, discour-
aged, forlorn and out of employment are
looking to Tennessee as a home of plenty,
ease and cOntentment. They are reduced
to necessity, aud will readily avail them
selves of the opportunity to settle, where
there is some hope of respectable liveli-
hood, or at least better living.
Let US open our doors to all worthy i'm
migrants aud make general proclamation
that they will be welcomely received and

Malicious Attack.


We understand that Capt. Manson re-
ports an attack upon his camp on Wednes-
day night last, by unknown parties, from
the opposite bank of Richland. He re-
ports that several guns were fired. and
that balls whislled uncomfortably near
some Of his men, after which a Kuklux
whistle sounded. anu the attacking party
retired. Now, this may be true. We do
not dispute Capt. Ms. story, by any means.
There is a set Of devils about here, in lea
que with hell, who desire the retention Of
this militia force in our midst, and are just
the chaps TO get up such a sensation. The
trick is perfectly transparent, even to a
half blind fool, and the instiga.ots and per-
petIators of SO foul piece of stretegic vii
lainy, deserve coat of tar and feathers, if
they could be found out. Something has
TO be done to keep the militia here. The
Cornersville sensation has fzzled, the
Crawford Alabama story has been exposed,
Capt. Kings pathetic Kuklux story has
get too old to BE- interesting, most of the
negroes and many OF the better white men
oppose the releution of the useless and
expensive incubus, aud something absolu g.
ly startling has To be done, in order to unite
tine forces and tickle the ears of party lead
ers. But this thing is a failure. Every
body knows that there is not q man in Giles
county. opposed to the militia, who hasn't
sense enough to know that such an attack
as this would be the very means of retain
ing them here, and there isn't man in
Giles county, opposed to the militia, fool
or knava enough to perpetrste such a Ill
lainy upon the people. There are dead
loads of cat hair in this sensation, and car
pet-bag loads at that.
