Governor Brown.

Governor Brown.
Our distinguished and popular
fellow citizen, Governor Brown,
spent several days st home during
the past week. we 1ere reloiced to
have hIm with Us again even for so /
short q tifae, and to see him looking
hale and hearty, as in the enjoy +
ment Of perfect health. Perhaps no /
Governor Of Tennessee has ever per
formed SO much executive labor in
the same length Of time IS Governor
Brown has since his Inauguration,
yethfs onerous nd.arduous eon3ne-
ment to official labor have made no
pereeptabie inroads upon his health,
nor in the slightest degree effected
the usual serenity of his temper
We we're glad to End him much in
tercsted ia the future progress and
prosperity not only ofthe State and
nation, bit true to the noble impuls-
IS Of noble heart, yearning also for
the. advancement OF his own town
and county.
The Governor is hopeful Of the fu-
ture, and thinks there is a tide com
ing. upon which we may ride out Of
our national difficulties, If we viii
only wait for Is and then take it at
the food. He thinks the democrat.
ie party is the hope of the country,
and zealcusly opposes a dissolution
or disbandnsent Of the party organi-
cation. We may have to form an
alliance with the moderate republic
cans to defeat the present admins
trstion-the future alone can reveal
the best policy TO pursue-but for
the present the old democratic ship
Should not be dismantled or deser-
ted. When it is proven that the
grand old democratic army cannot
succeed with is own captain, and
without aid, then, with the party or
ganization intact, We win march to
the aid OF any other party to beat
the GRAFT administration.
We were mach interested in his
suggestions and speculations as to
she future Of Pulaski and Giles
County. lie thinks we have much
: to DC proud Of in the beauty and
prosperity Of our town. the fertility
OF our soil and the wealth and re-
fnement Of our people both of town
and county, but we need a first class
Female College, a first clas hotel, wa.
ter-worls, gas-works and good roads
These would make Pulaski and Giles
County so desirable and delightful
as place Of residence, that hun.
dreds af enterprising business men
and farmers would seek homes here
at once.
When we consider all the untold
advantages to be derived from these
Improvements, and consider that
they are not only possible but emf
nently practicable, and within easy
reach, the Governor thinks it a lit.
tie strange that our people do not
move in the matter. The projected
railroad from Memphis to Knoxville
should by all means be attracted
hither If possible. It would add
much TO the wealth OF our already
great county, and give 10 Pulaski
renewed vigor and a new lease
or life. In the mean time, however
and whether the railroad project fail
or succeed, Pulaski is vitality interes
TED IN turnpikes. The corporation
should take the initiative and show
TO the country people her great
anxiety to give them good roads,
Let the corporation issue say $40
600 in bonds to run fifteen or TWEEN,
" years, with interest nayabie semi
annually. This would build TWEEN
ty-fve miles OF good turnpike, whiel
would give us Eve new roads, each
I've miles long, radiating from Pu
laski, toward Fayetteville, Corners
vile, CampbellsviIle, Lawrenceburs
and Aathony's Hilior Sugar Creek
The country people seeing our ear
nestaess and having experienced
the advantage of good roads, wouls
eventually complete them There il
much food for thought in these re
Elections and suggestions OF our dis
iiguished fellow citizen, and we Civ
them in the hope that they MAJ
have the effect 10 start the ball il
motion.
