EF MAJOR BEN. Z. ROY is the au-
thorized agent of this Office to receive
and receipt for monies due the same.
He will Immediately communicate with
every man who has an unpaid balance
against him on our books, and we trust
he will be cordially received and sent
away rejoicing. Heretofore the propri-
etors haye been so constantly engaged
in the Office that they have not collected
up half so closely as their interest de-
manded, and some accounts have been
permitted to run for months. and few
even for years rather than force collect
ions. Maj. Roy has instructions to col
lect everything due us, and has no re-
strictions as To the manner of doing so,
except that every man shall have a fair
opportunity to pay without costs to an
officer. We have adopted this course
through sheer necessity. Creditors are
pressing us, and we are compelled to
collect. For eighteen years the senior
proprietor of this paper has been doing
| business in Pulaski except an episode of
months from July 1869 to January 1871
and no man in Giles county has ever
been approached by an officer or collect
or in his behalf. By this course he has
lost hundreds of dollars, perhaps, but
he has always preferred To Indulge his
patrons and not Cypress them, and even
now many have been so long INDUCED
that they may have forgotten they owed
him, and others may plead their ac-
\ counts out of date. The sums due us are
generally small, but the aggregate will
amount to a sum quite sufficient to pro-
vide snug little home for one of our
homeless proprietors. With this ex-
PLANTATION we confidently appeal 10 every
man to Justify our course and respond
promptly to the call Of our agent. We
hope to retain the favor and friendship
OF all, but rigid and impartial over
hauling of accounts will be made ut all
| hazards

1t was truly interesting to be present
at Beach Hill Academy on the 26th inst.
Prof. j. c. Roller, who has had charge
of the school at that place for two years
past, invited the community, and es-
peciaIly his pupils, to meet him at the
school building the day after Christmas
at o'clock. His invitation was duly
respected. There were many cheerful
hearts present on the occasion. a rich
Christmas tree was prepared at the eX-
pense of Mr.. Roller for the enjoyment
of his students. One hundred and four
names were called q. {, schollars) each
one receiving several prizes consisting
of books, fruits, candies, toys &C., pluck
ed from a beautiful Evergreen planted
near the center OF the house.
1t was very evident to all present that
things had gone on right during the
year. That reciprocal love so clearly
evinced by teacher and pupil demon
strated the fact that Beach Hill has th'
right man in the right place.

Railroad Meeting.
Mr.. EDITOR :-Some time since, Mai.
Sykes made an appointment for Rail-
road meeting for the friends of the
Memphis & Knoxville Rail Road at
Hancock's store ten miles west Of Pu-
laski for Monday the 10Th of December.
At the. request of Maj. S., attended
said meeting in company with Mr. Z. w.
Ewing. We found quite a respectable
number of the staunch citizens had as
sembled there from that and the sur
rounding neighborhOOds, all eager to
hear and receive any suggestions as to
how we might carry the enterprise
through successfully, and ali seemed
willing to do what they could to further
its interest. Mr.. Ewing and myself
made speeches in behalf of the Road:
1 Neither of US had ever made Railroad
speech before, but If you had heard Mr..
Ewing you would thought he had been
raised up at the business. As for my
self, l will not say how 1 did, for if
had done well, L ought not to tell
it, and if had not would not want to
tell it, and would not want any one else
to tell it; so 1 will leave that part Of
the subject.
J A committee was appointed consisting
of Mr.. Hull Hancock, Col. Wheeler, DR.

Sneed anG Esqr Braley, to report at thi
place on the second Monday in January
next, the propositions they may receive

MIR. EDITOR As a river is cOntinu-
ally emptying itself into the sea, and
still continues to run az 1t is wont, so
the stream of Time is continually losing
itself in the great ocean Of Eternity
Since another year has been numbered
with the things that were, and new
era has dawned upon us, allow us to
greet the CITIZEN and all its friends
with ga happy new year" 1t is our
hearty desire that you all may succeed
in all your undertakings: that is, ii you
don't undertake to steal sheep, pick a
pocket, nut tar on somebody's good
name, or anything else equally as I'M
commendable. But dent tickle your
self with the hope that youwill succeed
in all You put your hand to, for that
don't lie in the paptalOons of mortality.

Michael, the archangel, fell short of his
calculations when he and all his vOlun-
teer crew undertook to take heaven by
conquest.
As for interesting items, they are
scarce with US. CQrn Is already scarce
and high. Some OF our old men say it
will be worth one dollar per bushel be-
fore another crop is matured. Cotton
has made as good yield as was expect
ed. Wheat is looking finely. Pork will
Just about supply the amount necessary
for home consumption. Taking every
thing into consideration, passing the or
deal of financial troubles, we will be
left with about enough to keep soul and
body together, but nothing more.
7 We heard man philOsophizing few
DAYS ago. The subject was the new
Railroad. He said: 81 am not in fa-
vor of the NJ. & X. r. r., from the fact
it will bring no produce market nearer
us than already. Turnpikes and dirt
roads have been so long disgTacefully
neglected, think that the next strike
/ should be made in that direction. Last

we are teeth and toe nails against it. Il

I pay dearer for homes for our children
and pay a greater tag on the land we
already possess" Was that man beslds
himself, or was his head about level?

Bethany,


MIR. EDFroR The wheel of time in
its annual revolution has again brought
Christmas around, and as it flies by
with the velocity of sunbeam, there
is being chronicled on the pages of the
great 81 AM" we fear, some dreadful
accounts against the eo~called fast young
folks of Bethany. There is debating
club at Bethany consisting of seven
teen boys and young men. We must
confess it is very Interesting too, to
hear them discussing any subject, and
in order to make it more so, the club
resolved about four weeks since to
have an oyster supper, and debate on
the eye of the a6ch of December, 1873,
for their benefit and social enjoyment
as well as that of the people around
Bethany, consequently the boys made
preparations for it. We must confess
that the invitation committee acted with
a great deal of partiality in inviting
some from distance and sighting some
of the young ladies of their own neigh
borhood. 1t was agreed that there
should be no dancing, it being against
the wishes of the club, and contrary to
college rules. Friday night came, the
people assembled, and the debate OPEN
ed: DR.. IL. J.. Patterson acting Pres'nt,
and Walt. A. Hill and Thos. ID. Scruggs
Judges. Question: hoSOtUed, That Vas
dom is more beneficial 10 man than Wealth.
/ The debate was long and Interesting,
the affirmative gaining the question
After little business meeting the club
adjourned. The young men thought il
was now in order to enjoy themselves
with the beautiful young ladies' present,
aud while preparing for this they were
mortified TO hear a ''fast young man.
mot connected with the club propose a
dance. The dance was gotten up, but
was soon stopped. Supper was soon an
nouneed and was enjoyed by ali, afleT
which the feelings of many were gross
ly shocked by a re-eommencemcnt OF
the dance, which gradually grew into
an old-iashioned puncheOn kicking, but
was finally suppressed, after which the
audience were treated to same excellent
music on the piano and violin by Mrs.
Lon. and Mr.. Robt. McIaurine. The
occasion was lguch enjoyed,

why NaFrOy Gauge Cars Car
49, 81 Nrucb Frafghf


Many don understand why iocomo-
lives Oh Narrow Gauge Roads can carry
so much freight. This is owing to the
relative size and capacity of these cars
compared with broad gauge cars.
The box cars on the narrow gauge
weigh 3 tons and carry 10 tons; GA the
broad gauge they weigh 10 tons and car
~ 10 tons, difference of tons in fa-
vor of the narrow gauge on each car, or
q hundred tons IN one train. The height
of the narrow gauge cars, feet inch
cs above the rail of the broad gauge,
2 feet inches. Width of narrow gauge
cars. feet, 3 inches; of broad gauge, s
feet. Height OF narrow gauge ear in
center, : feet, inches; of broad gauge
ear in center II feet.
Those various weights, heights, widths
and capacities of the ears on these roads
show why the narrow gauge ears run
with so much ease and safety.

Congress re-assembled yesterday.
Many new bills were introduced, and
an hour and a half speech was made
by Mr.. Stevens, of Georgia, in oppesi-
ton to the supplementary civil rights
bill. He opposed it first, as mconsti-
tutional, and secondly, as ineXpedient
and oppressive to the South. lie was
followed by n negro in favor of the
bill, who said, that without its passage,
the negroes of the South could have no
real freedom.

EB~ What is q lie? Is it only to tell
wilful untrutb? If so, what do you
call misrepresentation, a wiliful with
holding of the truth TO deceive? Is it
not as much of a lie to perpetrate an in
territorial deception ip one way as anoth-
err Is not the truth a lie when told 20
deceivey These questions are pertinent,
and may be considered impertinent by
some. We hope they viii be so consid-

stead of an interrogation point at the
end, to stab the hearts and consciences
of all Iiars-especiall those wopldbe
respectable gentlemen who wouldn't be
caught in lie for the world-those
pharisees who think all men liars but
themselves-yet who, for the sake eff
pelf, win unblushingly prevaricate, and
in doing so, knowingly iniure the char
acter, rob the purse and render unhappy
those who have no natural projectors.

orablc gentleman compared to the sneak,
who to gain temporary advantage or

suhsist or of the hard earned reputation
upon which they hope TO succeed in fu-
