Col. John @. Rnrch.

Col. JnO. c. Burch, of Nashville, lee
tured at the Presbyterian Church in
Pulaski last Friday night upon the Life
and Times of EDMUND BURKE. He
was introduced to the audience by Gov.
.InO. c. Brown in a few appropriate re-
marks, and Immediately began his ora
ton. He said the reign of Geo III of
England comprised the most important
period in the worlds history; the in
FAINT republic of America was born, but
while England lost her colonies she
gained in other parts of the world; PO-
land attempted to release herself from
expressions, but unfortunately failed :;
the great French revolution, the occa-
sion of the most diabolical massacres,
perfidiOus craftsmanship, and wonder
full military achievements that his
tory records. He introduced, as closely
allied TO the subject under consideration
on account of their associations with
Mr.. Burke, the two great cOmmoners
Pitt and Fox. He drew a word pOr-
trait of Burke as he appeared with fea-
lures blunted by the use of glasses used
on account of being near-sighted, and
then he presented him to the audience
in the act of delivering his maiden
speech ia Parliament in favor of the re-
peal of the Odious stamp act, the cause
of the revolutionary war. Edmund
O'Burke was born in Dublin, and al
though an Irishman upon English soil
is not to be envied the respect he re-
ceives, yet this man by successive and
successful steps soon took the lead and
appeared head and shoulders above his
fellows. To Edmund Burke has been
attributed the authorship of the Junius
Letters, the most bitter, Yindictive, sar-
castle and denunciatory effusiens that
had eyer before appeared in print, but
Col. Burch stated that a citizen of Nash
vile has recently proven that he was
not entitled to the credit of writing
them, but that Horace WalpOle was the
author. Burke was all genius and work,
having no model as a lawyer, resem-
bling no man and bowling to none, but
on the contrary the weighty truths that
made up his wonderful productions in
prose, poetry, political essays and public
speeches, characterized him superior to
any man who had ever attempted the
role in which he was so faultless, either
in ancient or modern times. McCauley
pronounces Burke the greatest man of
any age.
We cannot say that we fully agree
with Col. Burch in the estimate he
places upon the talents of Mr.. Burke,
but we do consider him among the first
men OF that age. We do not believe that
if the celebrated lawyer was now upon
the stage of life with the same develop
ment of talent that he would rank with
some of our public men of to-day. But
this aside.
We cannot better express our appre-
citation of the lecture than to use the
language of the lecturer himself when
referring to McCauley's description of
Burke, that it was the most beautiful
word painting we eSer listened to. In
deed, Col. Burch's manner, dietion, ex-
preston and matter were faultless-
After the lecture had concluded, Gov.
Brown rendered to Col. Burch the thanks
of the ladies of the Church in his IA
milfarly happy style.

APIONEER GONE.
One of Our Oldest and Best
Citizens Dead.


EDWARD w. ROSE, Esq'r, died in this
city last Friday, April 18th, at l O'Clock
P. NJ. Mr.. Rose was born in Brunswick
county, Va, on the 18th day of March,
1903, and was consequently n years of
age when he died. He moved to Giles
county in 1912, and in 1919 took up his
residence in Pulaski, where he lived
ever since, moving to his late residence
in 1874. He was a merchant in Pulaski
from 1928 to 1871. He was elected a
Justice of the Peace about 1910 and
served in that capacity for about %
years. He was for long time Chair
man of Giles County Court, and dis
played such eminent qualifications in
that capacity that he was elected Pro-
bate Judge, which Office he held for
some time He was also at one time
postmaster of Pulaski. Esq. Rose was
elected to represent Giles county in the
State Legislature in 1869, on the Con-
servative-Democratie ticket, and it was
while in the performance of such duties
that he contracted the disease which
gradually wore his life away He was
a man fifty qualified to have honored
Giles county in the Legislature, but his
declining health and continued sick
ness during the sittings of that body
precluded mis- taking that part in its
proceedings which he otherwise would
have done.
Esqr. Rose was one of our best citi-
zens, and he exemplified in his long life
among this people those principles of
integrity and strict adherance to right
which characterize the good and great
We heard one who knew him long and
well say that he never in one instance
knew him to swerve from the right. He
was charitable to fault, and much of
his life was spent in rendering assistance
to his fellow-men. He was the eldest of
nine brothers, four of whom only sur
vive him: Esq. VIM. Rose, of this coun-
ty, and Mr.. Alfred Rose, of West Ten
nessee, both of whom are farmers, and
Judge Robt. Rose, of Lawrenceburg,
and Col. Scion E. Rose, of this city,
both of whom stand in the front rank
of the legal profession of Tennessee.
He was the father of a large family of
children, most of whom are married,
his wife having preceded him many
years to the grave. His remains were
inferred at the new cemetery In Pulaski
on Monday morning at 10 o'clock, and
were attended to the grave by large
concOurse of friends and relatives. The
citizen when his health gave way, and
they now deeply sorrow on account of
his death.
The merchants showed their respect
to the memory of the dead by closing
their doors while the funeral cortege was
passing through the streets.

Loyalty and Law.

Apropos OF the recent insinuation OF
the = & a. that Lebanon, Tenn, took
the lead Of Tennessee towns in allowing
crime to 60 unpublished, and the subse-
quent acknowledgement of the Lebanon
Herald that such was indeed the case,
we think it proper 70 call the attention
Of our people, and people of other sec
lions Of the country, to the mode and
manner Of the enforcement of law in
Pulaski and Giles county. We do not
know Of an instance in the post-BelluR
history of Pulaski where the majesty of
the law has not been upheld, or where
q public officer neglected his official duty
to the detriment of the community.
Although Pulaski has the credit Of
originating the Kukiux Khan; and de-
served y, if there is any credit in it
yet when that organization assumed a
iawless attitude it was no longer known
in our midst. We are aware that some
instances of fragrant violations of law
have occurred in Giles county that have
gone UNPUBLISHED, but we have yet to
hear Of a law-breaker escaping punish
ment through any neglect of public Of
ficers, on the other hand always escap-
ing by precipitate flight or through law
Especially has this law
abiding spirit prevailed with our people /
and this efficiency of public officers 1
been peculiar to office holders during
the term of the corps of gentlemen who
now occupy public places of trust, and
this fact speaks volumes not only for
our people as a community and our
officers, but it is a mighty induce
ment to persons seeking homes in Fen
nessee to select Giles county on account
Of this peaceable state of things. The
officers who now hold in Giles county
are all so far as we know gentlemen of
strict standing in their communities and
ire noted for efficiency But in speak
ng thus of them we do not wish to be
understood as advocating their re-elec-
ion in the next August election, for
while we accord to them a willingness
md ability to execute the laws and per
iOrm the various duties pertaining to
heir offices severally, yet there are
others in our midst equally as reliable
md competent and who win give salts
action if elevated to office. Neither do
we wish to be understood as advocating
/ complete or partial displacement of
hose holding office, nor classed with
hose who blindly hold to the opinion
# rotation in public offices" but what
We are in favor of, and what we insist
lpon, and what must be brought about
" our people, is, we must either retain
hose now in Office or make a united
fort to fill their places by others equal
y as efficient.

Funeral Dead-Beats.

OF all the Objectionable social eharac-
tiers to be found in all cities, deliver US
from the funeral dead-beat. The term
may seem little harsh, but is deserved.
Notice the funeral of some prominent
person. There the clan is present in
full force. They go early and look
solemn, and crowd into the parloTs, tax
ing prominent pOsisitions in the hall or
stand up. They view the remains of
the one most dear to many in the room,
and cOnventiOnally remark: GLOW
corpse" During the sermon they affect
to be deeply moved, and bury their IA
ces in their handkerchief. At the con-
clusiOn of the ceremony they crowd
forward and manage to I'LL the carriages
in waiting, 20 the exclusion of genuine
mourners and friends of the family,
anxious to attend the remains to the
grave, there to pay their last tribute of
respect to a mOGrned friend.
Once on the way, they show their
real object in attending the funeral to
obtain a pleasant drive through the
suburbs without any expense to them
selves. They chat and talk, gayly dis
cuss Mrs Grundy's last bonnet, casually
mention the new pastor, and eurdle the
blood of their hearers by announcing,
in a melO-dramatic whisper, that ssthe
Browns have sold their piano. or, that
fsthe Smiths are eating in the Kitchen
Through all the journey they talk of
everything or anything foreign 70 the
mission they are on. Once at the eeme-
terry they again look solemn, and allow
their chins to drop on their breasts, nd
offer their cold, unfeeling and distasteful
consolation 20 the grief-strieken family.
And thea the brisk drive back to the
city is SO pleasant, and it IS so nice to
be driven up to our own door with q
flourish it makes the neighbors talk.
In many cases the funeal dead-beat has
not even a casual acquaintance with the
deceased, or the bereaved family. Their
mock solemnity aud disagree2hse for
wardness serve only 70 disgust the in
/ telligent people present, and only serve
toward barring them from good society.
Verify, the q fEneral dead-beat'' is a
disagreeable character.

For the CITIZEN.


Unfortunate Dist. No. 4.
Mr. EDITOR We would like very
much TO know what is going on in and
around the capitol of old Giles, hut Il is
impossible for us to learn or get that in
I formation now as we are entirely sepa-
/ rated from the more favored people Of
the county by the river. lt is now too
high to run the ferry boat for the second
time this spring. So we feel aggrieEed
that we have no promise Of the bridge
at or near ElktOn- Can not some way
be devised by which the bridge can be
builtg As the question viii come up
again in July we would like te solicit
private contributions through your pa
per to help build the bridge, so that it
VIII not be so heavy on this poor little
county of ours; or how would il do for
the county to release No. of her Dor
ton of the taxes for five years and we
build the bridge Ourselvesf We are sat
isfied that we could build good bridge
in that length of time and yet pay no
more taxes than we have been paying;
but If we cannot we can double our
taxes.
We hope the river will get down by
the first Monday in June so it can be
ferried, as we want TO send some dele
gates to the county convention TO be held
in Pulaski at that time, although we are |
not much in favor of conventions of /
that nature, as we think that every man /
in the county has perfect right to run |
for county Office if they feel so dis /
posed.
But we do not feel disposed to be sell /
fish in this respect, or in anything else /
where the interest of the county is the /
object in view. We are always ready TO
do our part of the work and pay our
portion of the taxes. But enough for
this time.
