The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1875-06-03
Bill VS. Hal,

Like the one we read of in the bible
he opened his mouth and spake
Suppose l did show it to some persons
it was my property until in the hands
of the printer. He says / told all 1 saw
and sent word &c. And that the public
needed something to relieve them from
its depressing influence don't suppose
any one was depressed but Bill, but he
is consistent in a horn, for it seems il
made Webster turn over in his grave of
envy and wink his eyes, it must have
had reviving influence on him. Bill
says the old gentleman was in a grave
of envy. l would like to know what
that was done for. l think Bill was
made of some of the dirt taken from
that grave. Bill says that l attempted
to prune him of some of his laurels, is he
or has he been crowned with the vic
tors wreath made from any laurels, if
so please state when, if he means to
say he is green and have pruned some
of it of, just suffer me to say it don't
require a pruning knife to you, l can
rake it Off with a chip, but prehaps
/ you call lumber, barnes, mamOth shops,
hauling lumber, any quantity of new
dresses being funds, or dOg-wOod bios
SONS laurels, if you do ] would like to
see the man that would attempt to place
either of them en- a head that l could
mash with a wet spunge.
Bill says we stumble at the head but
pass it over sc. and turns round ard
says who ever heard of a man having
his nom de plume at the top and his
real name at the bottom. Nom de
plume we did not have any and had to
| substitute Hal 4 part of our given name
like you did lumber, barnes sc. for
laurels. Bill says 1 spoke to him in
soft melodius tones and called him
friend, well he proposes to beg funds
for me and of course a man would not
be willing to beg funds and feed a fell
low on sausage unless he was friend
to him and of course / did have him
mixed up with soft soap and that soft
stuff the fellow left on the church floor.
And 1 suppose he gets the melody out
of the bray or chinty and he is or tries
to be witty and sarcastic on my ortho-
graphy. Well / am by him like the
old hero General jackson was by the
chap who criticised his spelling he said
by the eternal | would not give a great
deal for man that could not spell n
word more than one way. Bill says
declare l don't know him and he never
wants to see me again, we'll I don't sup
pose he does but | can't help showing
him how consistent he is. In Bill num-
Der one he says gravest. In Bill num-
Der Two ne says greatest importance
will leave the publick to decide who
has things wonderfully tangled and
terably mkt now Fiji you ought not to
be telling that have you on my brain
for every one knows that without your
b telling them you forced yourself cob
webs their and then complain of &C.
Bill says / pitcht into him about the
dog law and it was not the first time
! that spirits has made me stumble, this
is not the first time that he has stopped
! in his communications to the little low
, contemplate thing of personalitie,
while shooting from behind his mask
= battery and my opinion Of man thai
r would be guilty of such low flung bill
D ingsgate arguments has a soul that tel
4 thousend such could be demicelled n
r the shell of mustard seed and have a
mulch room to each soul rs a nit
would have in the Mamoth cave. Bill
!. says it is time for me TO stop, given il
4 the way of advice and all the time as
e certing that he Is no friend, calls col
G web brains and then appeals TO me &
G prove his Yeraciry he is about as cOncis
tant in that as the fellow was that wa
