The Railroad.

We are making an effort, an earn
est, determined effort, to build the
Pulaski Eastern and Western rail
road, in no spirit of antagonism to
any town or county, to any other
railroad, either built or projected,
but for the protection of our own
interests and to promote the well
fare of our own people. We feel
that it is a question of life relative
with Pulaski and Giles county.
We must have other outlets, other
avenues of trade, or we will see our
business decrease and our town
and county decline.
To this as citizens Of Giles coun-
ty and of the town of Pulaski we
can not, we must not submit. II
we do not help ourselves, none 9TH
ers will help US and so we are de-
termined to put our own shoulders
to the wheel. We make no war on
other enterprises but we must take
care of ourselves.

manufactured by him, from sor-
ghum. 1t has a bright yellow color
and tastes very sweet Mr.. Jones
has a sugar mandatory in success
full operation in Pulaski, and pro
duces a great deal of the saccharine
substance. The manufacture OF
this sugar is G new industry in Ten
nessee, and the Banner hopes it will
not be confined TO Giles county, but
that the example set by Mr.. Jones
will be followed by some person or
persons in every community in the
State.
Mr.. Jones was elected Secretary
and one of the Vice Presidents OF
the Cane Growers Association, at
it's recent session in st. Louis, and
reports that the meeting was very
successful.

E. s Retiring Bow.

EDITOR OF THE CITIZEN You
have made the dHsende honorable to
Col. Bob. Ingersoll for publishing
in your paper the beautiful extract
which has been going the rounds Of
the papers as his production. 1t
now only remains for me, who am
the cause of the furry. to disclaim
any intention to do HIM an injus-
tice. l found the waif floating
about in the newspapers, calling
him the father of il, which l of
course, supposed was correct, and
having my atten ton called to the
old scrap-book by a friend, the con
clusion was inevitable that the two
extracts were the same, only one
was some thirty years older than
the other, which looked little curl
Gus.
However, Col. Bob. settles the
matter by giving US the extract
from his speech made in Chicago in
1876, which bears internal evidence
"clear as proofs of Holy Writ" that
he is not the father of the original.
1t is to be hoped that some literary
antiquarian may bring to light the
original author of this truly bril-
liant extract. 1 very respectfully
make my lowest bow, Mr.. Editor,
and retire. Yours, r.

FIRE
Two Law Offices and Millinery
Store Burned. Insurance $500.

On Saturday night last about
7:30 o'clock Pulaski was visited
again by her old enemy, Fire, the
insatiate fiend that has SO often
Toasted it's fury and fastened its
flaming fangs upon her. When
first observed the flames had burst
ed out at the front window of Mrs
l. Graham's millinery store and the
inside of the house was in flames.
No means were at hand to stay the
fire until it burned itself out. and
it soon spread to the law Office OF
j. s. w. H. McCallum and thence
to Jones, Son d Ewing's, all under
the same roof, and in an hour all
were in ruins. The fire is supposed
to have origin Ited in the explosion
of a coal oil lamp which had been
left burning upon the show case in
the millinery store while the occu.
pants had gone to supper. All the
millinery goods were consumed
A sewing machine, piano aud 9th
er articles in the back room were
saved. Mrs. Graham's stock was
insured for $3.50, and she thinks
her loss above that will be about
$500.
The law libraries in the offices
together with all the papers and
furniture were gotten out safe. Mr.
McCallum's library was insured for
$1,1O0.
The first Office was owned by
Judge Thos. NJ. Jones and was in
sured in the Home of New York
for $1,000. The second Office was
owned by j. & W. H. McCallum,
and was insured in the Phoenix,
Hartford, for $1,000. The millinery
store was owned by Jones d Nc
Callum and was not insured.
The walls of the buildings are
good aud the work of rebuilding
will soon be commenced.
j. d w II. McCallum will occupy
the office in rear of the National
Bank. Jones, Son d Ewing will
occupy the old Shades building next
to Mrs. Carriers.
The fire department was out but
the flames were beyond its control.
Pulaski should no longer hesitate
to purchase a-few water buckets
at least.

$50 Reward for a swindIer.

A young man. sailing under different
names and claiming TO be an agent for
"The Housekeeper," handsome Illus
trated monthly, full of good things
which all housekeepers want to know,
has been swindling people in several
towns in Wisconsin and Michigan. He
gives printed recipe, signed III. II. An
derson, which is of course fictitious.
The publishers offer $50 reward for his
arrest and conviction, and several other
rewards are out also. The rascal, no
doubt, selected the HOusekeeper on ac-
count of its great popularity and the
little trouble IL takes TO secure subscrib-
ers. The publishers offer the most lib
eral premiums we have ever seen offered
for any paper. For four subscribers at
20 cents they send a copy of that Queen

and Practical Housekeeping, of which
sixty thousand have been sold, as a pre-

lettings, By 7. S.

The afternoon of Nov. 21st spent
at Bohemian Academy, trof. VIM.
Anderson. Principal, will ever form
a bright page in memOry's book, to
which we will often refer with
pleasure mingled with gratitude.
1t was the occasion of the presenta-
tion of five beautiful volumes of
poetry to the five pupils who had
received the greatest number OF
marks of distinction for perfect rec
itations and conduct. The prizes
were awarded as follows: Miss
Della Cox, Mrs. Hemans; Newt.
Horne, Moore; Edgar Anderson,
Tennyson; Wilson Burns, Gold
smith, and Rob't Finley, Scott.
The essays read were racy and it
was regretted that the patrons of
the school were not present. Prof.
Anderson, in an appropriate ad-
dress, presented to your humble
correspondent a beautiful copy of
Mllton's Poems, which is highly
appreciated and will be kept as a
sacred remembrance Of the kind
donor. Regretting that our pleas
ant associations with him have so
soon been severed, we wish him
abundant success in his new field
of labor. Nav he and his have
abundant and prosperous lives and
at last be brought together in the
saints eternal home, where they
may, root FROM thar lahore opH on
JOY the eternal rewards of virtue.
The reception intended to be
given at r. d. Reeds to r. j.
Reed and his bride Thursday, Dec
18th, at 2 P. NJ. was postponed until
Friday, on account of heavy rains
and high waters. The entertain
ment vas delightful, and our pen
falters as we attempt to describe
the richness of the repast. Viands
OF various and choicest kinds load
ed the side boards and the table
was graced with plentiful varieties
of cakes and candies, apples, rails
ms and festive illuminations. Min
CLING with the feast of body was
the feast of social intercourse and
the mirthful flow of congenial spir
its. We can scarcely expect to en-
joy a more elegant banquet until
we shall have passed the bright
portals of the skies, and sit down
with angelic companions at
ga table of celestial food divine,
Ambrosial fruits fe ch'd from the tree of life,
And from the fount of life ambrosial drink"
We extend our heartiest congrat-
ulations, wishing that The handsome
couple,
"ColIecting all the hearts sweet ties
Into one knot OF happiness"
may have no bitter disappointments
to cast a shadow upon their conju
gal bliss; that loves pure, bright,
unwasting treasures may be theirs
in this life and a glorious and bliss
ful immortality IN the life beyond.

They hang the paste-pot up by a

rafter, wrap their tails around the
rod and come down like trapeze

LynnVilIe Items.

In our last we described what to us
was very joyful, but in this we will
have to tell that which is very sad.
Our community has been afflicted
with sickness and death to an unusu-
al extent the past week. Mrs. Rebec
ca Jones died Dec. 10th, aged 95-
The oldest person in this communi
ty. She was one of the old land
marks and had lived for more than
go years ct the place where she
died. She professed religion early
in life, and through all these long
years lived q devoted christian and
strict Presbyterian. She was the
last survivor of those who organized
the first church at Old HOpewell, OF
sacred memory to thousands. She
leaves a numerous connection scat
tered from the Ohio to the Gulf, on
whom her piety no doubt has had
its influence, for they are noted
for their morals and worth as a
family.
The next dag Dec. IL, died Mr..
Gopher Compton, aged so. These
two persons had lived go years as
neigh bors, and to die so near the
same time is remarkable. Another
thing remarkable about Mr.. Comp
toms death is that in the last few
wears he has lost a brother and q
sister, each of whom was in a few
days of so. Nearly all Of the exact
age at death. ar. Compton was O
consistent member of the Baptist
Church. . He leaves a very numer
Gus connection. The bereaved
families have the sympathy of the
entire community.
Eddie Walker and Mary Jones
are both much better, each Of whom
has been very low with pneumonia,
Eddie was at one time given out by
the doctors. We hope they will
both be up soon. Their places are
sadly missed at Mr.. Campbell's
school. Mr.. Alex. White, we are
sorry to learn, has the fever at his
uncle's, J. 2. Boyd's He is II
good hands and we hope he vii
soon recover. Bad colds are cpl
demic.
DIR. johnson has at length re
turned from a trip of with nm
stock. He went north and had u
drift around 70 ttzs south beror
