The Mexican Veterans.

The 10th Annual Reunion of the
Mexican Veterans took place in
Nashville last week and was the
grandest occasion yet enjoyed
The attendance was remarkably
large, considering the time that has
elapsed since the war-thirty-five
years. Many of the veterans have
yielded to age and passed over the
river. Others went down on the
hloodier fields of '61-5. Those re-
manning to us, few in number, are
in the scar and yellow leaf, have
fought the good fight, and as old
age comes creeping on and they feel
the cords tightening that are to draw
them across the dark valley and into
the bivouac beyond where their
comrades have nearly all preceded
them, they feel more closely drawn
together, and when they met in
Nashville and grasped hands that
in the long ago strongly upheld
each other in the face of danger and
the hardships of camp life, it
awakened memories that softened
stony hearts and streaked furrowed
checks with tears of sympathy and
brotherly love and joy and hope for
the hereafter. These heroes of bet
ter times-these survivors of a
terrible struggle that gave riches
and honor and glory to our country
and spread its domain over the broad
expanse of the almost limitless west
these volunteer defenders of
liberty have been forgotten and neg
lected by the country they saved,
while thousands less deserving have
been pensioned and nursed upon fat
things. The United States Govern
ment owes it to its own honor to |
pension these men, not alone because |
they need it, but because the govern
ment owes it to them. Giles county
was represented by S. S. Anderson,
Jno. P. Williams, Jas. L. Wheeler,
J. G. johnson and F. G. B. Lee, all
members of Haynes company, 1st
Tenn. Cavalry, and Mr.. John Jack
son of the same company who now
lives in South Alabama. There are
but three others of this gallant old
now left in Giles-Wm.
Evans, Gerdine Cox and S. S. Will
hanson. Esq. j. L. Jones of Cheat
hams regiment also attended the re-
union. These men returned
delighted, with their hearts warmed
towards each other and the old COM
-ades whom they met for the first .
lime in thirty Five years. tits prob
lble that the next reunion will be
leld in San Francisco. AS their
'anks grow thinner their love in
;reases and we venture to predict
hat the next occasion will find them
nearly all together. .

The Norman Colt Show.

The Norman colt show last Sat
urday in the grass lot near the tan
yard was an interesting affair.
About twenty-five colts, the get OF
Bayard, were on exhibition, All
of them had the marks of their ele-
phantine sire and the exhibition
was valuable in that it showed the
possibilities Of the Norman cross.
1t is the beginning of q new and
better grade of draft stock in our
country. The old horse himself, as
our readers know, died, but he was
quickly replaced by Hannibal, an
other monster. The premiums of
fered by Maj. Stacy were awarded
by a committee after careful com
parison, the first premium falling to
a horse colt belonging to Mr.. Tony
White, and the second t. the FLY
colt of Mr.. Jacob Yokely. 1t was
satisfactory remark generally that
they were all good, and doubtless
many breeders were convinced of
the value of the cross. Maj. Stacy
deserves to be upheld in his enter
prise. He is not the man to let
loose when he undertakes q matter,
as was clearly evident when he al
most instantly replaced Bayard at a
cost of above $4,000, we believe.
He is going to still further encourage
Norman breeding and has already
announced his premiums for next
year, as follows: For the best geld
ing and FLY one year old, each
$25. For the best sucking, get of
Hannibal, horse and FLY, $25 each.

The Fair.

The prospect for a successful
fair is good this year. There never
was better premium list offered
here, and the special premiums of
fered demonstrate live spirit of
liberality and enterprise ON the part
of our business men and others that
is commendable. We are very
much in hopes that our people will
come out in larger numbers and we
think the managers acted wisely in
reducing the admission fee so as to
induce a large attendance. The
next two weeks will witness sever
al important events in pulaski-the
fair, the theatre, Harris and Bate,
the convention and two circuses.
The fair is not the least of
these and is really productive of
more benefit to the people than Ell
Their OF the other events. If we re-
allied this fact and would sh ape
our actions in accordance there
with, we would see larger crowds at
the fair than ut the circus. We
cannot hope for this, but we insist
that it is our duty and interest and
should be our pleasure to attend
the fair en- masSe. Call on some of
the officers for catalogues and see
the good premiums offered.

The P. & 3. c. Turnpike !;

The advertisements of the Pulas-
XII d. Brick Church Turnpike Co.
this morning show that they mean
business and that the construction
is about to commence. The board
was called by the president and
went over the whole length of the
road last Friday, Saturday and
Monday, with surveyor, and per-
manently located the route. Leav-
ing town the road turns to the
right at Mrs. Manning's and cir
Giles around the hill, coming into
the old road just above the summit
and near the vineyard. 1t then
traverses the old road to Harris,
turning to the left on the Odd Eel
lows Hall road, reversing that
about three-fourths of mile, then
turning to the right and following
the old tan-bark road on top of the
ridge all the way around to the old
Ross place, where it crosses the old
road and thence makes a gentle de-
cline around the valley to the foot
of Alexander's hill. There are
then no other reflections. The
changes increase the length of the
road about half mile, but it avoids
all the hills and hollows between
Harris and the Ross place and the
precipitous decline at Alexander s.
Work will begin at Mrs. Manning's
and go north two miles, and at
Merit Eslick's and 60 north a half
mile, and at the terminus this
side of Harmon's shop and go
south a half mile to the top OF the
Kennedy hill. This will be done at
once, and then the work will go on
from Pulaski north. 1t is hoped |
that subscribers will respond |
promptly to the ten per cent. call. |
