How They Tickle Us.

Shelbyville Gazette: The PULASKI
CITIZEN, so long and ably edited
and published by L. w. McCord,
has passed into the hands of John
Bateman Smith and Laps. D. Nc
Cord. Mr.. Smith will have control
of the editorial department and Mr.
McCord will be business manager.
Mr.. Smith is too well known in the
State as a writer for US to praise
him. The CITIZEN loses an able
man when Luther McCord steps
down and out, but when Jno.B.Smlth
steps on and up, she makes 1t up.
Columbia Herald: Mr.. Luther
w. McCord, so long and favorably
known as editor and proprietor t
the Pulaski CITIZEN, has retired
from that able and excellent journal,
and 1t will be conducted in the flu,
ture by John Bateman Smith of the
Fayetteville Express, and Laps. d.
McCord. The press has lost one
of its worthiest and noblest men in
the retirement of Luther McCord
MIR. Smith is man of genuine tai
emit, and writer of pure English.
He is poet, ~ satirist and humor-
ist, and always readable and inter
esting. Mr.. Laps. McCord is also
pungent and entertaining writer,
and the CITIZEN viii retain It's posi-
tion as one of the best county pa
pers in the State under the control
of these two spicy pencilers.

A Liberal Bridegroom.


Hartford Post: A few evenings
ago the door-bell at the house of
Rev. Mr.. Barnhart, of the st. John
street Methodist church, was pulled
in way to startle the whole house
hold. On the door being opened, a
young gentleman presented himself,
in company with a pretty girl, and
after both were invited into the
parlor, the young man made a little
speech to the minister. He told
him how he had read in the papers
that the good pastor had recently
been robbed of $500. He had men
toned the loss TO the young lady
and both had agreed that It was
their desire, in getting married, to
make liberal offering to the min
lister of such marriage fee as
should in n measure assist in max.
ing good the loss he had sustained
by the robbery. The speech was
pleasantly and unostentatiously de.
livered, and Rev. Mr.. Barnhart,
with extra cheerfulness, tied the
nuptial knot. Taking the fee from
his pocket, the young man handed
it to the good parson, again re-
marking upon his happiness in be-
ing able TO do so much good with
his money. After the bride and
groom had retired, the minister,
through whose gratified soul a
most agreeable feeling had spread
itself, examined the fee and found
1T amounted to precisely two dollars.

Noah's Tomb.

Blackwood's Magazine: A road
practicable for wheeled vehicles
leads from here along the plain to
Baalbec, distant about 40 miles a
pleasant road for the first hour
skirting the lower Lebanon spurs,
and winding between hedges OF
roses in bloom and through richly
cultivated country. 1 turned of
from 1t before it became hot and
dull, at the village Of Maullaka, eel
ebrated as containing the mortal
remains of Noah, whose tomb is
shown to the credulous stranger.
Its dimensions are 104 feet long by
10 broad, and it contains some ideaof
the size of the human race before
they evolve backward, as it were, to
their present dimensions. AS Noah
lived to the age of $50 years, and
built an ark l.sge enough to con-
tain specimens of every living thing
on the face of the globe. there
seems to be no reason why he
should not himself have been over
100 feet high.

Truths.

The greatest heroes the world has
ever produced have been those who
have done the most good in it.
/ believe laziness is the cause o.
more misery in this world than sick
ness is, but l can't prove it.
The people who don't think there
is any honesty in the world have
been studying themselves too close
ly.
Ingratitude is as mean as 1t is
common, and the ungrateful man
cannot tell how long it will be before
he will be malicious one.
If a man Is polite and honest he is
well bred. l don't care whether he
has any ancestors or not.
The flatterer has been called all
kind of bad names, but if there was
no demand for aatterers there would
be no fatterers
Good sense is like truth-the
same now that it was when the first
man walked on the face the earth.
I have alwaws noticed that those
folks who know the most are the
best listeners and the most anxious
to know more Josh Billings.
Witty sayings are as easily lost as
the pearls slipping off a broken
string but word of kindness is
seldom spoken in vain. 1t is seed
which even when dropped by chance
springs up a flower.

On the Judges Side.

In one of the Western States q
case was tried, and at its termina-
ton the Judge charged the jury,
and they retired for consultation.
Hour after hour passed and no YER
dict was brought. The judges din
ner hour arrived, and he became
hungry and impatient. Upon in
quiry he learned that one obstinate
juryman was holding out against
eleven. That he could not stand,
and he ordered the twelve men to
be brought before him. He told
them that, in his charge to them,
he had so plainly stated the case
and the law that the verdict ought
to be unanimous. and the man who
permitted his individual opinion to
weigh against the judgement OF
eleven men of wisdom was unfit and
disqualified ever again to act in the
capacity of juryman. At the end
of this excited harangue a little
squeaky voice came from one of the
iurymen. He said: Judge, will
y our honor allow me to. say a
word?' Permission being given, he
added: "May it please your honor,
| am the only man on your side"

dated Dec. 18th, 1879, is just re-
ceived and the contents noted. AL
low me, kind sirs,t to express in this,
my only, but feeble way, my sin
cere thanks and heartfelt gratitude
in thus cheerfully, kindly and with
out compensa tion, helping me
through the columns OF your valu-
able paper, to clear my name and
character before my friends and
your people from the vile SANDER
and false accusation given by the
one who, above all others, should
guard it with a sacred trust. l am
a helpless, defenseless woman, a
comparative stranger to you and
the people of Pulaski, but the will.
lirgness and earnestness to help
those in trouble and distress which
you have shown me, under the ex-
listing circum stances, only goes to
prove more fully the true hospitality
and kindness of heart for which, as
a people, you are noted. My friends
here join with me in their expires
sions of thankfulness and gratitude,
and rest assured you will ever be
remembered for your kindness. and
may God in His mercIes bestow
many blessings on you and yours,
is the earnest prayer of

CLERGYMAN's CERTIFICATE:
CLERGY House, EAsroN, Nd,
Dec. 9th, '79:-This statement of
mine is to certify that the marriage
certificate of Oscar G. Robinson
and Sarah Gibson, which Mrs. Rob
inson's friends, understand, are
about to publish in the Pulaski pa
pers, is an accurate copy of the one
1 drew up In my own handwriting
and secured signatures to, and
handed Mrs. o. G. Robinson on her
wedding day at her mothers resi-
dence in Warsaw, Wyoming Co., N.
Y, some years since, and copy of
the same was entered by me in the
Parish Register of Trinity Parish,
Warsaw, N. Y, which register is
now in the hands of Rev. E. j.
Cooke, present Rector OF said par
ish in Warsaw, and l truly believe
the said Rector will gladly send to
Pulaski an affidavit to that effect.
Moreover, have for some four
teen years been well acquainted
with Mrs. Robinson, and with all
my heart believe her to be in every
sense a true, good, noble and most
unselfsh woman, faithful and COM
mendable in every relation in life,
more especially in all her duties to
her husband, Oscar G. Robinson,
who has proved himself so utterly
unworthy of such a wife.

crops, under the present system

weeks tuition in the year, whilst
under the proposed system they
may get months.
4th. The number of schools
must be diminished, and the aver.
age pay OF teachers should be in.
| creased.
9th. In order to carry out the
Public School system cohtempla-
ted, Directors are as important as
County Superintendent; and to Sc
cure efficient services on the part
of these officers, adequate compen
sation should be awarded them
The following resolutions offered
by DR.. r. B. Gardner were adopted
LIST. That in order to extend the
usefulness of Public Schools, and
multiply their benefits, the School
Directors Of Giles county, in con
vention assem- bled, do hereby petit
ton their Honorable County Court
to levy annually, a county tax sum
cient with the aid derived from the
State, to maintain public Schools
for a term of not less than 5
months.
End. That incompetence, unfit
ness and inefficiency of teachers
are the most serious and difficult
obstacles to the success and pros
perity of any system of Public
Schools.
3rd. That the Directors of the
different school districts in Giles
county will hereafter appoint to the
charge of no good school, a teacher
bearing low grade certificate, nor
any applicant having served previ
ously in another district of the
county, who does not bring, sddi-
tionally, a satisfactory certificate
from the Directors of said District.
4th. That in the opinion of the
Directors present, a fair construc-
ton of the spirit and letter of the
Public School law allows them in
determining the amount of the
Teachers compensation, to take
into consideration, not only the
probable average ATTENDANCE of said
school, but also its character in re-
gard to advancement, and the quail
tications and character of the
teacher.
9th. That children residing in
any district, and entitled free of
charge to the benefits of Public
Schools in the same, shall enjoy
the same privileges, IN all respects,
when attending Public School in
any other district in the county;
and that, in all such cases, District
Boards of Directors will provide
for a endorsement of one another,
upon the basis of just and faI
pro rata and per capita apportion
ment of the school funds accruing
to their respective districts.
Ordered that copy of these pro-
ceedings be furnished the PULASKI
CITIZEN with request to publish
the same.

Ocular Transmutation.

The strangest news coming TO us
from Germany is that learned
doctor has discovered a means OF
dyeing human eyes any color he
likes, not only without injury to
the delicate orb, but as be asserts
with positive advantage TO the pow
ers of sight. He can not only give
fair ladies eyes as black as night,
or blue as orient skies by day, but
he can turn them out in hue OF sill
yer or of gold. He says golden eyes
are exceedingly becoming. Nothing
goes down without grand name;
therefore the German doctor calls
his discovery Ocular Transmuta-
ton. He declares himselfquite ready
to guarantee success and harmless
ness in the operation.
