III 1901 the ATttti4O > lft OF Giles
county indicted the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen for keeping a NUS
ance-the jail. How different now
The Jail is nicer than the Grand
Jury's own apartments.
The rumbling Of cotton wagons
and occasionally the sound of the
crier's voice, selling a horse or Z
piece ofIand is about the only ex-
citement by day in Pulaski, while
at night the distant howl Of some
hungry canine or the piercing
squat of an afrighted feline is the
! only sound to disturb the repose OF
the population. Truly, we are a
people blest; but there can be too
much Of a good thing and we
would like to have a fight or foot
race just for variety.
The beautiful moonlight nights,
suggestive of love, and refreshing
our memories with visions Of
youthful bliss, when we had a
sweetheart with whom to ramble
under the soft radiance OF the beau
tiful goddess of the night, and into
whose willing ear its penetrating
refulgence inspired us to pour de
lightful strains Of undying afec-
ton, is a good time to go possom
hunting.
1t was discovered by a young
man hercabouts some time ago that
mucilage does not make a good
hair oil, and the other day two
others tested its virtues as a face
wash. They now stick to each
other pretty closely.
The Pointer place sold at public
sale last Monday for $500. 1t
was bid off by Maj. 81. Childress.
We heard a man say the other
day that there were "some pretty
smart hog risers in Marshall coun-
ty." That man ought to be a boy
again and let his mother "rise" him
over, and maybe he would learn
something.
Those handsome signs of the
handsome firm Of Irvine & Lindsay
and their handsome clerks are the
admiration Of all passers-by.
We think it would be a good idea
to give the north east corner of the
square a coat Of gravel. What say
You, fathers?
Gen Brown is Governor, but he
has not forgotten his Chesterfeldi-
an suavity. He greets and is greet
ed by all his people with the great
est pleasure, exhibiting that inim-
liable contamination Of urbanity
peculiar to Tennessee's noblest son.
Hogs must be very fat ia this
county this year. We judge from
the number of lard stands made
and sold by Boyd n. Young d Co.
Those boys who talk at the
church doors loud enough to be
heard over the congregation have
surely forgotten their raising.
The open door of DR.. GRANTS
old Office on ID Main street brings
pleasant memories of former days,
and forcibly reminds US that one
of Pulaskis dearest citizens has
renewed his allegiance.
Cotton buyers are plentiful
They attack a bale of cotton like q
swarm of flies around a drop of mo-
Iasses. Each mall plugs the bale,
then some man makes an offer, when
the seller turns away disguised.
About eleven years ago to-day
Mai. THos. NJ. JONES and john c.
BRowx, Esq'r, addressed a meeting
held in Pulaski for the purpose OF
taking into consideration the ne
cessity Of calling a State Conven-
ton. These eleven years have
wrought considerable changes
The scourge of war has swept over
the land and time is fast healing the
wounds of desolation, and young
JOHN c. Brown. Esq'r, who adj
that meeting rose to a proud !
rank in the army and to dayis the
Governor of his native State.
John Martin kept-the peace and |
quiet of the city sacred in the alb
sence Of John Arch, but the pres
ence of that efficient seems to have
up the holes into which his
Assistant had run the
law breakers.
The Pulaski Cornet Brass Band
was out serenading on Saturday
night. We are glad to note that
their debut was a success.
Several of our enterprising citi-
zens went to the stockholders meet
ng at Nashville ON borrowed stock,
and the conductor borrowed four
dollars apiece from them.
