The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1879-12-04

Pulaski has been terribly afflicted
with colored street walkers, who
CAD about our streets all through
the nights plying their indecent
calling, in the most brazen manner,
often insulting gentlemen and some
times running against ladies. 1t
had grown terribly outrageous.until
last Wednesday night, when party
of unknown men appeared upon our
streets, one of them armed with a
long buggy whip, and catching one
of the vile women upon the north
east corner, they gave her a sound
thrashing 1t had the effect of
clearing the streets of them at once
and we hope for a long time to
come. 1t is an evil that ought not
to be tolerated, and although such
manner OF punishment is to be de-
precated, still it is demanded, for
the law is powerless to protect a de-
cent people. We learn that GER
tain colored man called together
three or four comrades and was
about to interfere, when the party
OF vigilants turned upon him and
ran him out of town on the lash of
the whip. There is one thing very
evident from the open and deter
mined way in which this matter
was conducted. and that is that this
street walking will not be longer
tolerated. They certainly mean
business, and others had best not
interfere.

to the Gulf, and opposed and de-
feated it. He was the first to advo
cate the Southern extension of the
Decatur road. He was among the
first to advocate the Marshall
county line. This line through
Pulaski to the River was one of his
oldest and most cherished ideas and
it was his pet to-day. He had lived
to see the others accomplished, aud
he hoped yet to see Pulaski IN di-
rect communication with Atlanta.
and he hoped in less than Is
months to see the road from Fay
etteyille to the river

wedding; a perfect boom! One tina

l refer to the marriage of Mr.. d. p.
Carter to Miss Sallie Smith which
took pace at the Presbyterian
church Thursday evening last, Rev.
j. G. Coldwell officiating. The
church was handsomely decorated
and beautifully Illuminated. The
attendants were Mr.. Terry DECKER
son with Miss Kate Fry; Mr.. Jack
Boyd with Miss Florence Witt; Mr..
Clifford Thomas with Miss Annie
Campble; Mr.. j. w. Braden with
Miss Alice Higdon.
The names of the fair ladies as
sures the public that there was moth
ing lacking in their elegant cos
tunes, so l will omit that as super
fuous. Suffice it to say that moth
ing so was ever seen in this church,
which is saying much. After the
marriage all repaired to the brides
mothers, where a most elegant sup
per was in waiting, which was Of
those to which nothing could be
added to make it handsome or AT
tractive. After this sumptuous re-
past Cupid amused himself shooting
his darts and many tender wounds
that night he made. And we have
hopes that they will only be healed
by many such elegant affairs as
this. The next evening Mr.. and
Mrs. w. G. Carter gave a reception
to their son, which was simply
splendid. 1t is well known that
they never do things by halves, and
IN this they outdid themselves.
The guests were numerous and
select and none but what was made
to feel that they themselves were an
especial guest. The tables fairly
groaned under the loads of good
things. We heartily wish they had
a dozen sons and that we would
live to be at all their receptions.
We flatter ourselves that there will
be more of the same sort around
Lynnville soon.
Mr.. CampbelPs school will be
out Dec. 18th, at which he will have
an examination. He has a school
of 55, which is only less than he
has had on his roll at any time
With such regular attendance and
such instruction as Mr.. Camp
bell only knows how TO give, the
public may expect much. Two of
his pupils are now quite sick. Mary
Jones, daughter of Mrs. Jones, and
Eddie Walker, son of j. Nj. Walker;
severe cold or pneumonia

AS it is necessary for historical
facts TO be brought before the pub
lie mind occasionally to escape obiv-
ion, so we think it equally impOr-
tant to publish the news of a local
ity occasionally.
This community is like most 9th
ers, quiet one, but sometimes with
a little incident to mar the tran
! guilty. The latest development
was the somewhat sudden marriage
of Mr.. Dick Brandon to Miss Maud
Witt. They went to the supper at
Trinity church and leaving his fair
charge with a friend, he repaired to
the Clerks Office tor his license,
and they were duly made same"
All parties were willing; we sup
pose it was only spice of romance.
We wish the fair bride and gallant
groom a life of unalloyod happi
ness and joy, and may eternity's
little boat watt them safely to the
shore.
Mr.. Geo. Witt and lady are TEN
porarily residing in this community.
They are valuable acquisitions to
society and we hope they may take
up a permanent abode here. Miss
Celeste johnson, handsome and
intelligent young lady of Lynnville
has been visiting her sister, Mrs.
Geo. Witt, but returned, carrying
with her (uncOnsciously) the heart
of one of our young men We hope
that the visits of such fair ones
may be frequent and extended. We

Nothing OF unusual import has
transpired lately to disturb the
usual quiet of our village and to
change the monotony, except that
Mr.. Cheatham had the misfortune
to get kiln of lumber burned up 8
few days ago. 1t was a severe loss,
from the fact that he had it sawed
from his choice timber trees.
Farmers are not generally done
gathering crops and sowing wheat
yet, but with favorable weather they
will be done in time for the holi
days. Most of them look greasy
around the mouth, which indicates
that they have killed their pork
and that they are reveling in back
homes, spare ribs a..d tatty-bread.
People are expecting an advance in
such things tits year, which will
circulate more money.
We are not having as many law
suits as usual, from which we infer
that the people have learned to set
tie their own matters without the
aid of the law.
We have the pleasure to an
nounce that Mr.. William Lanier of
Pleasant Valley has taken up his
lodging in our community for an
another year. We have a cordial
welcome for all such citizens.

Fire at the State Line.

The depot building at the State
line, known formerly as Veto Sta
ton, was burned on Monday night
last. The suppositIOn is that il
took fire from sparks from the eX-
press train as it passed down at II
o'clock. The fire was discovered
about o'clock. The building and
everything 1t contained was a total
loss. There were supposed to be
about rs bales of cotton and a
quantity of other freight-all lost.
Maj. M. Childress had that day de-
livered SO bales of cotton at the de-
pot which he had sold to Rosenau
IL Loveman. Besides the loss of
Messrs. R. d. L., Mr.. 10 Baugh lost
9 bales and Jno. w. Hill, marager
of the Veto farm, lost 9 bales. 9th
ers lost from one to three whose
names we did not learn. Major
Childress was an eyewitness to the
fire. There was no one sleeping at
the depot, as the night trains do
not stop there at al.
