For the Citizen.

of gIancing over the always inter

OF another. This may not be CON
sidered by newspaper editors and
especially the editor of the CITIZEN.

Indeed, after a second thought
after considering and revolving the
circumstances which Tor a number
of years have surrounded US, anu
those also which have existed sug

OF Pulaski in connection VITA tn,

that we are not inferior to Pulaski
IN point of generosity. But upon
the contrary, we are disposed 10

equitable for Pulaski and Giles t.
acknowledge obligations to Cedar
Hill and Robertson county.
Now then for the evidence in thu
case; and to start out with, we say
that we have been generous enough
10 furnish three preachers for one.
Rev. j. B. Anderson came among us
IN 1858. We kept him . or 8 years

j. Duncan came among US in 1870
We kept him four years and sent
him TO Pulaski. Rev. w. A. Tur

Kept him four years and sent him
to Pulaski. Thus it will be seen
that we have been ''credIting OUT
our preachers to Pulaski and Giles
county for s or nine long years, anu
have never received one in return
until now. But true to- her trust,
she has sent US one at last-made
one payment. We offer our graft
tude. We think Pulaski acted il
all good faith. We detect no indl
cations of counterfeit. We are sat
Isfed that she sent a genuine arti-
cle-the best she had, and as good
as we want. Mr. Dinwiddie is a
success in the pulpit. He is con

He is intellectual, elegant, energetic,
fndustrious-a man possessed oil
those admirable traits of character
which will sustain him any where.
If Pulaski's two future payments
prove to be as good as the first, we
propose to deduct all interest which
may have accumulated. While We
are perfectly willing to give Pulaski
credit for having done her whole
duty in making the first payment,
we insist that she did no more than
heI duty by reason of the tact that
we sent her genuine material, and
sent it on a credit at that. That We
