The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1873-11-20
Our Thanks.

We are at a great loss how, adequate
ly, 70 express our thanks to the citizens
of Pulaski, for their cordial reception
and royal entertainment of the Press
! Association ofTennessee last week. We
hope that every one who contributed
anything to the comfort or enjoyment
of our brethren of the quill will consid-
er US under personal and professional
obligations. 1t may not be in strict ac-
eordance with the rules of propriety for
ms to boast of your princely hospitality
displayed on this as on all similar ocea-
sions; but our sense of obligation for
the noble response you gave to our call
Is so great, that we must be permitted
for this one time TO say that you are the
eieverest and most princely entertain
ers on earth. Especially does this APP
ply to Judge Spofford and Governor
Brown, or rather perhaps to their most
estimable and queenly wives, who en-
tertained the Press, not more cordially,
but more deliberately and extensively
than others. We shall not here at
tempt to describe the reception and sup
per OF the one on Thursday evening, or
the reception and collation. of the other
on Friday afternoon. We refer the
reader TO extracts in another column
upon this subject This paragraph is
intended only TO express our gratitude
or and high appreciation of the manner
Ia which our gests were received and en-
tertained. Mayor Martin is also enti-
tied to special thanks for his unremit-
ting attentions and courtly bearing to-
ward our visitors, and among the indie
fatigable and jealous co-labOrers, any
and all of whom were ready to answer
any call or demand, we desire to men
ton in a special manner, z. Il. Tallia-

We can assure you, one and all,
including your wives and daugh-
tiers, OF course, that the Editors
have all gone home with the
llveliest appreciation of your unbound
ed hospitality, and completely in love
with our town and its inhabitants. They
came here with high expectations, and
went to their homes with their expecta-
lions more than realized. They knew
we had wealth, and intelligence, and
hospitality, and beautiful women. and
gallant men, but we are proud to say
that they realized on this occasion that
WI possessed all these is a much higher
and h,>sItier sense than they had imag-
ined. The personal congratulations to
us by our con Ereres upon their depart
ure-their parting words of praise to
our people for their cordiality and kind
ness to them-has afforded us very great
happiness, and we shall ever remember
with the liveIiest gratitude every man
and woman in Pulaski who contributed |
to the enjOyment of the occasion.
