Moving once More

To whomsoever it concerns, and 1t
should concern all who have to buy
Books, Stationery, Wall Paper, Window
Shades, Music and Musical instruments,
and wish to save % per cent. of their
money. In few days my Book Store
will be moved to The Cedars, s'Phillip's
Corner" Northwest corner public
square, where it is hoped it will be per-
manently located. Having my store and
residence together, thereby reducing my
expenses greatly, together with the
shortness of crops, scarcity of money,
and my pressing need of that article,
have enabled and determined me to re-
duce the price of all goods in my line 20
per cent for cash. The same reduction
on books ordered as on books in stock,
Thankful to the public for their patron
age heretofore l hope to retain it by
close personal attention to my business,
keeping a better stock of goods than
heretofore and selling them 20 to % pei
cent less than the same class of goods
were ever sold in Pulaski.
Come and see whether it is true or not

RELIGIOUS.

A series of meetings has been in pro-
gress at the Methodist Church in Pulas-
XII since Thursday night last, conducted
up to Monday evening exclusively by
the Pastor. On Monday evening, Rev.
r. G. Irvine, of Pleasant Valley Station,
preached with great ferver to small
congregation. On Tuesday evening the
congregation was largely increased, and
DIR. DuBose, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church, preached an earnest and con-
vincing sermon to sinners. Wednes-
day morning at o'clock prayer meet
ing was held and at night preaching
again by Rev. r. G. Irvine. At this
writing, Wednesday evening, there has
been no awakening of sinners, but the
pastor persists in warning them.

Defends aud Acquits Himself.

defends and Acquits Himself.
a rather novel occurrence in our
Courts took place in the Criminal Court
room in Pulaski last Saturday. The
case was called in which Mr.. J. w.
Mehlssack was defendant, charged with
obstrueting the Lawrenceburg road at
Vale Mills with his store house. When
the case was called Mr.! McKissack an
nounced that he would defend himself
That ne would reverse ordinary practi-
ceS In employing lawyers to swear for
him by conducting the case himself
The Attorney General, recognizing the
shrewdness and ability of his opponent.
entered upon the prosecution with con-
siderable trepidation, and but three wit
nesses Tor the State had been subjected
to tile rigid and piercing cross-examina-
ton Of the defendant before the Attor-
ney General threw up the sponge, and
the spectators could see that it afforded
him intense delight to escape further
sword-crossing with his adversary when
he announced that he was satisfied that
the jury should bring in a verdict of
not guilty. Mr.. McKissack's friends
grasped him cordially by the hand and
amid their congratulations a deafening
stamping of feet and clapping of hands
indicated the pleasure of the large crowd
In the court room. But all were disal-
pointed in not hearing Mr.. McKissack
make speech, for, outside of its nov
city, it would have been a surprising
exposition of law and facts.

The report of the committee was con-
CURED in by the convention amid loud
cheers and "Hurrah for Lawrence" on
part of the Giles delegation.
NOMINATIONS WE'RE THEN IN ORDER.
Mr.. Lester nominated Judge Logan,
of Giles. Mr.. Crawford nominated Capt.
FlOurnoy, of Giles, but Immediately
withdrew him on being informed that
the gentleman in question would not ac-
cept the nomination.
Judge Rose then moved that Judge
Logan be nominated by reclamation,
which was done in hearty manner.
The Lawrence county aspirants then
gave their acquieseence to the action OF
the convention and the committee,
promising to use their influence in be-
half of the nominee.
Judge Logan made a speech in which
he said: ''I am not native Tennessee
an, but If it was TO do over again
would be born in Tennessee"
Resolved, That the Pulaski CITIZEN,
Laurence Journal and Wayne County
Citizen be requested to publish the pro-
ceedings of this convention.
Motion to adjourn sine die made and

Cut this Out.

Even as the sash saw has given way
TO the circular, so must all Shuttle Ma
chimes give way to the New Wheeler q
Wilson, as the principles are precisely
the same. The shuttle has to stop twice
to make one stitch, which retards its
speed, creates the noise, heightens the Ii
ability of its getting out of order and
renders it unindurable by its friction,
Jerking motion and unnecessary ma
chinery, while the Wheeler 81 Wilson
being a circular motion, runs smoothly,
silent, rapid aud tight, requiring less than
half the machinery or motive power. 1t.

A Committee consisting of VIM. Riv-
ers, Marion Childress and David Rhea
were appointed to devise some equitable
arrangement by whish settlement could
be made for scholars going from one
school district to another.
After conference the committee re-
ported the following rule which was
adopted:
The Directors in the several school
districts OF the county will establish the
rate of expense for each scholar in their
district as basis for settlement when
| scholars 30 from one district to another.
All scholars going 10 school in a diff
! fefent district from the one in which
they reside, must deliver to the teacher
the written consent OF one or more Dl-
rectors of the District.
Resolutions complimentary to Capt.
| Garrett as County Superintendent were
read and approved by the convention
A petition of the School Directors to
| the County Court In reference % the
! County Superintendent was read and
/ adopted, and ordered 10 be handed 70
the Clerk of the County Court for pro-
sentation at the next term OF said Court.
| The convention then adjourned.

Es- Pulaski has the most enterprising'
wide-awake and accommodating corps
of merchants of any interior town in
the South. We point to our advertising
columes with pride and pleasure as proof
Of their enterprise, TO their stocks as
proof of their wakefulness, and to the
bargains they sell as evidence of their
accommodating spirit. No one need to
so to Nashville or Louisville or any
where else for clothing, gents under
wear, dry goods, trimmings, carpets, OF
anything of the kind. They can be OBJ
tanned at home as cheap by retail as in
any other accessible market. No good
citizen ought TO buy anything away
from home that he can get here.

From the foregoing statistics it APP
pears that the white Scholastic popula-
ton of the county has gained 60 during
the past year, while the cOlored has lost
249, making a net loss of 1S9. The fore
going estimate of funds for the present
year is based upon such calculations and
information as to leave but little room
for error. The statement of amounts
paid out last year is taken from the Off
cial report of the County Trustee OF the
School Fund, actually paid out by him.
1t thus appears that the total available
fund of the present year exceeds the
fund of last year by $346: 20. The share
of each district, of course varies each
year, in proportion to the variation of
scholastic population. For the present
year the share of each scholar is esti-
mated at $2.7S9474. The taxes of last
year were promptly collected and set
tied by the Collector, punctually divided
by the Chairman of the County Court,
and paid over by the County Trustee.
The total amount realized during the
past schOlast year, ending August 3lst,
1874, was paid in the following INSTALL
