Pnlaski-GiIes County.

From Nashville Journal of Commerce.
A word about the principal produc-
ton of Giles counEy-cotton. 1t annu-
ally sends to market about 10000 bales I;
as much probably as any county in the
State. There is a full crop this season,
large part of which is still in the
hands of the producers, only the small
growers and tenants having yet market
ed. 1t was my good fortune to spend
Sunday with one of the most enterpris-
ing citizens of Tennessee, at his res
idence on Arcadian Heights, one of the
most pleasant points of observation in
the State. My distinguished host has
been very successful in his enterprises,
the leading one being even more valua-
BILE to the State than himself, because it
demonstrates the grand possibilities OF
our hill lands. Much of his success, l
am led to think, is owing to the very
efficient cooperation of his estimable
wife, who is not only thorough mistress
of her department, but is also one of the
finest humOrists / ever met; she hui
mors every reasonable fancy of her
children, and diScourages any i'll humOr
on their part by rejecting the bad ap-
pearances in the sunny mirror of good
humOr. This is moral training il. its
highest sense, and her beautiful and
interesting children, whose happy lives
proclaim her blessed daily, are a delight
to every one that meets them. 1t was
Napoleon who told Madame De Stael
that the most remarkable woman was
she who had most children.
BY the way, Pulaski observes Sunday
rigidly, the churches are well attended,
and if DR.. Mitchells sermon last Sun
day morning is a fair sample of their
spiritual food, the good citizens are not
likely to slip backwards without warn
ing.
could not for a time surmise Mon
day morning what the long cavalcades
of horsemen that kept erowding into
town through the mud meant; but was
finally informed that it was "FirSt
Monday" and here the first Monday in
each month is the busy day. The square
was crowded, and every available OBJ
ject was made a hitching post; auction
GERS were crying, merchants running to
and fro, and every store seemed fun OF
life.
Pulaski has furnished three Cover
nors for Tennessee: Aaron V. Brown,
whose death alone doubtless prevented
him from occupying the highest Office
i'm the land; Neil ). Brown and his
brother, the present Chief Executive,
John c. Brown. The press is well rep
resented hele by the CITIZEN, whose
able editor has been on the Giles county
tripod eighteen years, quite long enough
to become oraculaT.

ANNA ALPHA, daughter of J. II. and
Kella Miller, died April goth, 1873,
aged six years nine months and one
day. Mr.. Miller, like thousands of 9TH
ers, felt it necessary to leave his native
South Carolina on account of the
wretched state of the country, and was
a stranger in our midst. Yet we are
proud TO say the good people of Pulaski
extended to him and family in their af-
Fiction and bereavement great kindness
and Christian sympathy. May they
feel by this dispensarion of divine Prov
idenee that while on earth ties are
weakened they are stronger for Heaven.
l am happy in the belief that what
seems severe in our present ignorant
state will prove, when seen by the full
light of eternity, to be the greatest
kindness on the part of our Heavenly
Father.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind Il frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.

Nc ltaiIroad ~.

At an early day the question of voti,f,y
a tax Of $500, 600 to the various railroad
enterprises projected, win be brought
before the people of Giles county. Il Is
important that there should be A full.
free and frank discussion Of the oues-
ton in all Of its bearings. Our humble
Judgment is that the people ought 20
vote this tax upon themselves, and I'VE
claim that after few years the roads
win become source of revenue in
stead OF a burden. Others differ with
us. We may be wrong and they right.
lfso, we want to know It before il is too
late. We therefore cordially and ear
nestly invite those who have reasons
for opposing these enterprises, as well
as those who favor them, to give the
public their reasons through the err
zEN.

Two of our grocery merchants went
fishing the other night down about the
bluff, where the bullfrog's dolefuI hum
and the whippoorwill's dreary screech
chills the air with horror. They fshed
for some time and didn't get a bite,
when one of them concluded to make
up in fun what he lacked in fish, and
pretending that he saw something com
ing towards them, uttered a yell of
fright and lit out across a freshly plow-
ed field, over which they sped swiftly,
the one keeping up his fearful hallow-
ing and the other frantieally tearing up
the ground and blowing terribly in his
efforts to escape the terrible apparition
his inauguration had pictured behind
him. They finally brought up at the
bridge, after making track across the
field that looked as If It had been har-
rowed by hurricane, and the one threw
himself on the ground and went of into
CONFUSION of laughter, while the 9TH

- Infamous Trick.

Some person or persons tore up the
south end Of the switch at this place
last Saturday night, causing the SOUTH
bound passenger train to run of. No
damage was done either to the train or
persons, as the train was going very
slow, but the thing was doubtless done
for the purpose of throwing the train
down the embankment into the creek.
The steam guage from the tank engine
was also torn of and destroyed the
same night. This is the second time
the steam guage has been stolen from
the tank engine. The guilty wretch
should be prosecuted to the full extent
of the law when caught.

The planet Saturn is continually at
tended by a series of rings that encircIe
it and render it the wonder and admir-
alton Of scientists. Refreshing summer
showers are followed by beautiful rain
bows that dip their ends in the sea and
encircle the world in a halo of gorgeous
spleudOr. Forth flashes from the muir
ky side of the equinoxia storm-eloud
the vivid lightning, embracing in its
forked arms with erubescent magnifi-
cence the trembling earth. Clockless
and with defaced walls our courthouse
stands fenced round about with rotten
posts and broken planks. NANCY and
hairless Dick Thompson's dog carries
buckled round his neck a rusty col
lar. And yet, all Of these and nothing
else look half as pretty as Ike Shapard's
finger does encased in that diamond
ring. This is Il sign of something, and
it has inspired to renewed effort many
who have been hopelessly hobingagainst
hope from the time of which the memo
ry of man knows not the beginning.

The recent visit of Bishop Quintard
to Pulaski was an occasion of great in
terest to the Church. His visitations
are always looked forward to with
pleasurable anticipations, not only by
tie members of his Church, but by a
large circle of personal admirers, who
are fond of such intellectual feasts as
he is wont to spread before his hearers
in every discourse. But this was pc
culiarly interesting occasion. The hal
lowed and sacred observances of Lent
had just ended, and Easter morn with
its holy influences had hallowed the
thoughts and affections OF the Church,
and now comes the dev6ut man of God,
with spiritual food and consolation pc
culiarly fitting. We are always glad to
know Of the Bishops coming. He
leaves his impress every time.

The Use of Good English.


How long viii the refined ear of the
critic be- displeased by inelegant and
improper language? How long viii
the novelist continue to disgust the
true student with his favOrite French
expressions? When the standard of
English is raised in Our schools; when
the pupils are drilled thoroughly in the
grammar, analysis and synonyms of
our language; when the English clas-
sizes are Taught throughout the whole
course of study; when the study OF the
English is commenced early and prose-
cnted with diligence through life-then
may we hope to reach that high stand
ard of elegance and refinement to which
we aspire. The child learns to use the
language improperly, and long years of
labor are required to unlearn what
has been learned amiss. Errors are so
stamped into our styles in childhood
that we must be constantly on our
guard to avoid them. II parents would
train their children to speak correctly
from the beginning much trouble
would be avoided in after lie. Let us
all strive to use good English.

by Maj. ". J. Sykes, Of Memphis, and

of Pulaski. The speeches were well re-

siderable progress was made, large
proportion OF the sum required having
been obtained on the spot. Lawrence
has gone to work in earnest and at the
right place. The first thing to be done
is to get the surveys and estimates, and
we hope our own people will act with
