The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1882-07-20

Mr.. Walter Barnett of Columbia
was in Pulaski few days this
week. He has fine buggy mare
which he proposes to offer at the
Giles county stock breeders sale.
Mrs. Baltic Lewis Stacy arrived
in Pulaski from st. Louis, where
she now resides, Sunday night.
She will go to her fathers in North
Alabama to spend few weeks be-
fore her return.
Mr.. V. Trudeau, head clerk at
the incompatible Bethel House,
Columbia, came down and spent
Sunday. He is one of the best hotel
men in the south and his house cor
responds with his character in this
/. respect.
Mrs. j. A. White received tele-
gram Saturday stating that the lit
tie daughter Of her sister, Mrs. Jas.
V. Russell, was dead. The day be-
fore she got letter saying that lit
tie Fannie Galloway was well. How
suddenly does death often carry our
loved ones away.
The tickets printed for the com
ing county election have on them at
the bottom convention" or s'no
convention" The intention is that
the voter scratch out whichever he
doesn't wish to vote and leave the
ticket as he would have it counted.
Some have inquired of us the mean
ing of this line.
Mr.. w. r. Craig has sold his
grocery business to ]. S. Childers
q Bro, and F. NJ. Bunch and will
engage hereafter exclusively in the
grain business. Mr.. Kirksey re-
mains with the stock as salesman
for Childers & Bro. We hope the
change may be for the good of all
the parties. Mr., Craig will be
missed in the grocery trade all over
the country.
Engine No. 156, mammoth
piece of machinery, said to weigh
100 tons when ready to run, the
first of the kind ever used on this
division of the L. d N. road, passed
down Monday, Engineer Hank Bet
tiers at the throttle. A number of
the smaller freight engines have
been replaced by these large mo-
guls, an evidence that the road
managers anticipate an increase of
trade.
Mrs. James Russell, nee Miss Ma
mic Cody, sister of our Mr.. j. l..
| fnonlanr of oFt in
Martin College, will be in Pulaski
this week to commence teaching a
class in decorative art. Her work
is spoken of very highly by critics
and herJskill and accomplishments
J, are well known in Pulaski. She
has already class. The ladies
should avail themselves of this rare
opportunity.
The gas house is ready for the
roof and is very respectable
building. The machinery has been
ordered from Pittsburgh and is now
on the road. The cisterns are
walled and are being cemented.
The pipes are nearly if not quite all
, laid. This preparation required a
, deal of labor, but is now nearly
completed. Mr.. Frank thinks he
: will be able to turn on the gas
about the first of next month.
} The bright crop prospect in this
county grow brighter and brighter
as the season progresses. Corn
E was scarcely ever more vigorous and
e promises to succeed heavy wheat
: crop with an abundant yield; and
/ cotton, though still small, has made
i wondrous strides during the last
: month. Farmers have worked in
f earnest, the season has been propi
tious and '82 will doubtless be re
membered as one of our most pros
porous years.
"The Pulaski Nuptial Union
was organized and chartered. on the
lI7th inst. So our town moves
: apace with the progress of the
: times in this regard. The object OF
S the association sis to endow its
+ members with a certain sum O
money upon marriage, and to pro
mote matrimony, morality ano
y economy" The following officers
S give it high character at home anC
abroad: Col. Jno. G. Ballentine
president; A. B. Hill, vioe-presi
+ dent; Ed. B. Craig, treasurer; Jas
s d. Andrews, secretary; r. A. Bal
Il lowe, general manager.
The hitch in the Bradshaw pix
: project is caused by an error in TIN
t proceedings. The county cour
O granted the right of way SOM
months ago to a company Under
, charter that requires d pike of tn
> first class. There is no necessit.
. for such broad high road, as thi
. and it would be impossible to &c
y funds to build it. There are yer,
!, few pixies of this character in Ten
q nessee, nearly all being of the secon
class. The charter will have to b
changed before they can proceed an
II it is proposed now to call an extr
= term of the court to remedy tn
Is difficulty. The gentlemen announc
themselves ready to go to work q
80 soon as the charter can be amended
The sale of stock by the Stoc
Breeders Association takes place t.
es day at the fair grounds. The stoc
V. will be in unusually good condition
in There will certainly be some ba
gains made, for there are some pul
bloods offered. The owners a.
es hopeful of successful sale and tn;
ID the association will receive sue
Vi encouragement as to insure its pc
IS manency. Several noted stock me
re are expected. We believe that Il
future of Giles county depends vel
largely upon the success of the
on stock sales and that it is the agent
/ a of all others most potent to chan:
his the drift of farming industries in
eft more profitable channel. II
He waning fertility of our soil, broug
DIV about by cotton culture, can
arrested and our industries turn
into the stock channel where the
I'VE is less work and more pay II
we change is taking place and this W
on accelerate it-and the sooner, t
lat better. We hope to see the sale
en- Ia,- a nrofifahla ono and tn this O.
