So far as we have learned, all eff
forts to find the body of the little
son of Mr.. VIM. Watson, who was

Mr.. Fitch will be IN Pulaski next
week and commence arrangements
for building the gas works. The
contract has been duly signed. A
paper has been circulated to see

to ascertain as nearly as possible
what the consumption will be.
We suggest that a subscription
be raised to erect q monument over
the grave of James Martin, the Old
Sexton. Those who have needed
his sad services know how faith
fully he performed his duties and
his memory should be perpetuated

and his worthiness. Who will
undertake the office? Hundreds
would gladly contribute.

lsfactorily. He wishes to make
public acknowledgment of their
promptness and fairness in set
Ting the insurance.

If the American reporter had
been little more careful he would
not have made it appear that the
