Turnpike Meeting.

We are requested to say there
will be a meeting of all citizens
interested in building a turnpike
from Brick Church to Pulaski next
Saturday week, Oath, at Midtown at
l o'clock. Plans will be matured
and facts and figures presented and
the project will be put on foot.
Every citizen in that country all
along the line should attend. There
will be some interesting facts pre-
scented by speakers and it is thought
by those who are pushing it that it
can be consummated this summer.
This is the opportunity and if the
people along the line suffer it to go
by default it may be some time be
fore it is done. Neglect your work
to go if necessary, for this is of
vaster importance. Pulaski mer-
chants, if they act in accordance
with their interests, would go out in
a body. A large trade going the
other way may be brought back.
The routes will be examined and
figures made by competent men who
will report to the meeting. There
ought to be five hundred willing
men at that meeting, and they will
be there if they are alive to their
interests.

L Was Democratic.

The withdrawal of Mr.. Sanders
from the delegation Of the late con-
vention was considerable. No one
doubts his integrity and honesty of
purpose. The convention was
strictly and purely democratic,
however, and if a delegate is not a
democrat he is out of place there.
We did hear the objection raised
and we thought best to refer to
it. If the convention was not a
democratic one, pure and straight,
we should decline to be found in it,
and there are hundreds in the same
mind. 1t was an uprising of the
people, but they propose to act
through the democratic channel
and not in an Independent way. If
Mr.. Sanders or any other delegate
sees proper to ally himself with the
democratic party in this matter,
no one will object, but we insist that
it must be understood that it is a
democratic movement undefiled,
strained of all isms. Our notice
last week did not refer to him or
any one else, but only to the ru-
mors and talk that was atlOat.

Il Was Democratic.

EDITOR CITIZEN II find from an
editorial in your issue of last week
that some were not pleased with
the convention held in Pulaski on
the first Monday of the present
month because there were some in
that convention who had not been
good democrats. l suppose 1 am
one of that number, for l have not
been a good democrat. / went to
the convention by invitation. 1
did not think it strictly a demo
cratic movement, but an uprising
of the people in opposition to the
settlement of the state debt as set
tied by the present legislature, but
if l can be forgiven by those
who are dissatisfied l will promise
never to be found in another demo
cratic convention.
Nv brother Robert Sanders
wishes me to say the same for him.
Please give this a place in your
next issue. j. G. SANDERS.

BRYsON.

1t is to be regretted that your
unusually entertaining correspon-
dent from Bunker Hill, Veshna, mani
tested so positively his Tor her?)
antipathy to temperance organiza-
lions in his (or her?) letter to the
Pulaski CITIZEN Of the 18th ult.
Let us give this writer the benefit of
our charity, for like all literary
characters he Tor she?) may change
his Tor herr? mind before he or
she?) writes again. The features of
Veshna's communication are both
masculine and feminine. First, it
looks feminine in this: Gentlemen
rarely oppose the good cause of
temperance. The masculine mind
finds sympathy in Gods word in
his efforts to develope the grace of
temperance in social life; while wo-
man ("whose charms are greatly
somehow does not readily grasp
such subjects nor see their import
ance. So, it is reasonable to con
clude that the communication was
not inspired by masculine mind.
Yet, some features of the Bunker
Hill correspondent have mascu-
line appearance. The "out-sider,"
"cidery froth" reminds one of
burly lager-beer dutchman. The
good people of Bunker Hill, am
satisfied, rejoice TO have good
society, and this CORES
pendent can hardly wait till your
next issue to suggest the suspicion
that Veshna is some restless tramp.
Another thought suggested by
Veshnas article: Representatives
constituencies. From
the face OF this Bunker Hill com
munity it may be easily seen that
the problem of the science of socl-
Ology is engaging their earnest at
tentiOn; and the temperance cause
is figure they wish to use in its
solution. Veshna is
right in saying that Bunker Hill
has stability. And for this very
reason the subject of temperance is
in harmony with the spirit of this
village. IL has been OBJ
served that Veshna is rather pugi-
istic. You recollect, Mr.. Editor,
hat all who were not in the war
where the bullets whistled wanted
10 fight after the peace was made.
The brave citizens of the country
ire those who preserve the peace,
Let Veshna know that though his
mind seems to find matter for his
in the element of
temperance, in spite,
will save him n muddled mind. The
)ther correspondent
Favors the temperance plan.

our Public Schools.

As the present month closes the
scholastic year, before entering up
on the duties of new one 1 will
make some suggestions to the direc-
tors and other friends of our public
schools. There is disposition on
the part of some of the directors to
pay too little attention as to the
competency of their teahcers. There
can be no greater injury done to
any community than to have an in
competent teacher in their midst.
1 notice also disposition in some
districts to reduce your teachers
wages so low that you will certainly
drive the first class teacher from
the school-room. A first class
teacher is very cheap at fifty dollars
per month and ought not TO be asked
to teach for any less, and if you
won't give it to him others will ;but a |
third rate teacher is dear at twenty |
five month, and the supply is al
ways IN excess of the demand
Look at the bright array of scholas-
tic talent that has lett our schools
in the past decade to go to other
fields where their labors are appre
ciated, Col. Rogers, Capt. Garrett,
Prof. Dickinson, Prof. Mcknight,
Hon. Z. W. Ewing, Capt. Holt, and
a host of others, all of them
teachers of the highest type, and
gone from among US because we
would not pay them what the most
communities have since
they are worth. If
we would keep those who are yet
with US we must at least pay them
a reasonable salary.
And now a word to the people;
In a short time there will be an
election for a school director in each
The man you elect will
select the teacher for your children;
your children will be exactly what
5he teacher makes them. Then be
careful whom you vote for. The
0urest, noblest and best men are
he only ones fit to be school direc-
,ors, and no good and true man
ought to decline to be a candidate.

lress of quite a number of good

No one seems to attach any i'm
portance to Pulaski's big crop of
dog fennel, although it is so luxuri-
ant. Why, we know man who a
few years ago began to cut this
fortune-telling weed to feed to his
sheep, and now that man is mil
lionaire. He is a director in a
bank, owns a fine coal mine, is the
prime mover IN a mammoth rail
road project-an important line
that will pass through this state,
and his brother is an ex-U. S. Sc n
ator from Georgia. This man at
tributes all his success to the star
he made when he-forsook the dog
fennel business. Let Pulaski com
mence just like he did, even if
sheep won't eat the stuff.

The wagon manufacturing pro-
iect has not developed into actual
organization yet. Mr.. DeVany pre-
sented facts and figures that demon
strated the profit there was in 1t,
but there seems to be no one to
lead. We have done our duty In
pressing this matter and went so
far as to procure the presence OF a
gentleman who is practical and
knows how and is ready to start
the enterprise. The merchants and
property owners of Pulaski should
not let the opportunity slip. A
small stock subscription from each
would secure it and the stock
would not only pay large per cent
hut it would increase their business
and enhance values and build az
the town amazingly. These facts
are indisputable and still we have
to urge them.

Hon. James McCallum sent US
last Friday some luscious speci-
mems of peaches grown upon his
place on East Hill. He has a
large variety of fruits and they al
WAYS seem to come earlier and do
better than any one else's. The
peaches sent us are some Of the
latest variety and are called cams
denis Early" Foster Peach" "Al-
exander,s Early" and "Billyew's
Comet" They rank in the order
named, apparently, the first being a
large, richly tinted, sweet peach.
The Foster is close beside it and
the Others almost s-good. They
show the improvement in peach
culture and demonstrate the wis
dom of careful selections of seeds
1t is as easy to raise good peaches
as bad ones and farmers may profit
by remembering these and procur-
ing them. Mr.. McCalluIn has ouI
thanks for his kindness, and we not
only recommend these varieties
to peach raisers, but an imitation
of his thoughtfulness towards the
printer.
