The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1880-02-05
Citizen Salad.

Aloft her banners in the fight;
And when the flames of battle rose
In lurid columns to the sky,
1t made our fathers dance with joy
To see 9 lively 'essian fly.
But Time has wrought wondrous change
Our sires who lowered Britain's crest
And plugged the haugBty Hessian foe,
Have passed to everlasting rest.
While now, when wheat is peeping forth
And locking somewhat spruce and spry,
1t makes the patriot groan and snort
To see lively Hessian fly.
Rutherford county darted into the
new year with a record of having
hanged six persons without due pro
cess of law, and it Is to be hoped
she is now in a mood to swear off.
An exchange says: "There Is no
excuse for violent language-none
VII atever," Easy, rash scribe, easy.
Suppose fellow jumps out of bed
suddenly in the middle of the night
and plants his bare feet on a tom
cat, what then?
Here is an item for the Industri.
GUS Mr.. Blaine, which he is at lib
erty to convert Into campaign ma
terial if he sees fit: Harry Jones,
colored. of Franklin county, Tenn,
was arrested last week by u. S
Commissioner Moore and commit
ted to Jail in Nashville for kuklux

A certain Tennessee editor says
he has accumulated, during -four
years of hard LABOR, two acres oil
land. We are not disposed to be
inquisitive as to the private affairs
of others, but since our confrere
has seen tit to make his public, we
should like to know whether the
real estate referred to is the same
tract of land he was carrying under
his finger nails when we met him
two years ago.
Our buxom friend, T. W. Richard
Bullock. who parts his name near
the terminus and does his work very
cleverly as clerk to the committee
on Naval Affairs, in a letter to the
Review and Journal. calls Col. John
H. Savage "the Malone of Tennes
see." The vict m of this cruel com.
parison Is Gen. William Malone, U.
S. Senator elect from Virginia. and
if that gentleman chooses to pocket
the gratuitous insult, he will exer-
else the privilege of a freeman,
that's all.
And now comes the stalwart Gov.
Brown. of Georgia, who says with
fearful emphasis that Standlford
was little too previous in his pur-
chase of route to the sea, for one
important link in the chain-the
Western and Atlantic road-must
be counted out of the connection.
for it is controlled by himself, Col.
Cole and others, who are determined
that it shall not be clanked along
with the other letters that bind. 1t
would seem from what Gov. Brown
says that the Louisville and Great
Southern 1.-THE ''n'' has been softly
dropped overlooked an important
card while playing the great game

That charming young masher.
Representative Acklen, of Louis
lana, Is continually getting himself
into hot water. His latest scrape
varies from the others in that it
does not involve a rumpus with a
woman. He arose one beautiful
morning and giving his fancy a
loose rein imagined himself to be
the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
presenting report in the name OF
that august appendage of the ma
tional Legislature, without going
through with the unnecessary for
mality of consulting the members
thereof. This frolicsome freak has
opened the bliLhesome Joseph to
an acute attack of criticism and he
now demands an investigation.
1t is claimed that the continued
i'll health of Represent ative Atkin :
greatly retards the action and pro-
gress of congress, which has but
little to do until reports from
the appropriation committee come
in. II this be true, it is unfortu
nate, and we see but one way out
of the difficulty and that is for con-
gress to pass bill providing for
the immediste recovery of Repre-
sentative Atkins, who, perhaps, is
continuing sick merely for the fun
of the Understanding himself

at the restraint these little diver
sions put upon a legislative body
whose impatience at being hirdered
in the transaction of the public
business is so well known.
A spruce looking darkey became
eAamored of dusky 6amsel living
near the farm of Mr.. Cal. G. Brown,
q miles north of Pulaski, and, it
seems, wooed her with immense
success, for she succumbed at the
first intimation of matrimony. The
lover was a youth of thirty five
summers, while the loveress was a
maid of only twelve similar seasons /;
tut Cupid, in his rambles, kept no
account of this disparity in years,
and the fountain of true love bub
bled up spontaneously ana splashed
around generally, murmuring along
and iooling about, without regard
to age or previous condition of yer
mifuge. This condition of things
excited the wrath of the girls ia
Their who didn't admire either the
sum total or general makeup of
his daughters sutton, and when the
latter sought the paternal blessir g
be was vigorously kicked out. He
vanished just then, but subsequent
ly put in an appearance, right side
up with care, during the absence of
the obstreperous sire, mounted on q
boned quadruped and persuad-
ed the languishing damsel To &C
company him on the headquarters
thereof. They were pacing off in
lively style when the memorable pa
rent returned and took in the situa-
tion at a glance. Snatching up a
shot gun he jumped on a horse and
gave chase, making it so lively for
