The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1873-05-01
Aspen Hi.


Mr.. EEITOR We anticipate yOuf
wish TO hear from our village gain.
Indeed, its prospective Importance
looms mp So eTandly TO ear mental Wis
ion that, IN our anxiety 20 have the
world know that we are about 60
emerge from our chrySalis state into a.
full iedged city, we are wiling 10 SUB
iect ourselves to the imputation OF be-
ing troubled with the -'eslckles tremen-
dUs.1
We limited to You before that we had
a silver mine, or were about to have.
The cornerstone of the shaft was laid
some time ago, and now, thanks 10 our
perseverance and the skill with which
our labOrs have been directed, we have
the happiness to annonnce TO every body
that we arc so near the argentiferous
goal that we can almost hear the change
jingle. This vein of Of pure silver,-for
we take nothing in ours,-which Is as
thick rs bee-gum and 80 yards wide,
crosses our county somewhat diagonal
~. Extending sOuthWErIl al ilsfiHituB5,
it passes under the village, Gin en-
bryO' of Prospect, and very near the
surface. to which is doubtless owing
the restless, active spirit which charac-
terizes the inhabitants of that place;
northward, passing a little west Of Pu-
laSEi directly under the home place of
the Phiting Editor, the precise locality
of which we viii not indicate, as we Go
not wish to disturb the usual serenity
of that great and good man, it extends
to the Ohio river. Beyond that point
we cannot let it 90, for we know some
blasted Yankee would be as ready to
$50 for'' it as he would have been to
have bored for Mr.. Lincoln's "iIe."
As soon as we strike the vein, which
we are hoping to do every day, we ex-
pect to establish mint at this place,
provided we do not find the precious
metal already coined. As such estab-
lishments usually have peculiar attrac-
tions, it requires no glowing inlagina-
ton to predict for our village a brilliant
future; particularly as we viii then
vote the entire 100000 for the con-
struction of the several railroads in con-
emplatiOn through our county, which
will, of course. cOncentre q; this place.
We are fully aware, Sir, of the impor-
lance Of these roads to the material
prosperity of our county, and are deter
mined to have them. You see, then,
that there arr but about 3 feet Of stone
between the present quiet repose of our
village and the future brilliant prospect
that is already unfolding its glittering
attractions to the charmed gaze OF our
citizens. 1 may here mention that this
place presents u fine opening for capt.
tai, and a few desirable lots may be had
on reasonable terms, near the location
Of the mint. 1t is true that Hobbs viii
remove his saw mill, bat we Will not
then have the old rattle trap to mingle
its discorddnt crash with the melOdiOus
ring of the hammer as il stamps into
currency Il circulating medium in very
general demand in this particular local
ity. To our numerous friends, in whose
ready sympathies we have found aid
and comfort in our arduous labOrs, we
will present each a chunk of the pre-
cious sNIif about the size of a hamper
basket as a testimonial of our heartfelt
appreciation.
We would like to take yourself, Sir,
and the =. e., whom we wish especial
" to cOnciliate, into our ring. We win
give you fat Offices, with big salaries,
and your only duties will be to vote
yourselves an increase of salaries when
ever you wish, and we viii at once
place to your credit several thousand
shares of our stock, which you can
"Mohilierize'' ut your pleasure.
Hoping you viii be glad TO hear from
us again, we are, with ''great eNpecta-
tions,' SESiPER IDl.AI.
