Kew. JOhn h. BlruSOnS Is All
nounced candidate for trustee il
this paper. His integrity and ca
pacity are well known all over Giles
and he is universally esteemed.
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday
the beginning of0Lent, when thost
who observe the season, common
orative of the Lord fast in the
wilderness, commence a forty days
abstinence, which ends Easter
Sunday.
t Mr.. Colston Alternately, who has
long been one of our most success
ful farmers, sent us Monday bunch
of wheat full twenty five inches long
al owe the roots and well jointed.
We believe he always raises the best
wheat and this is in keeping with
that custom. His crop is reported
good.
Mir. L. Meriwether Jones is tired
of paying livery bills for the priv
lege of driving around with the
Young ladies-thi1ks the fun is too
dear. So he bought buggy the
other day and will hereafter go in
his own turnout, if it doesn't turn
out that he is getting ready to go
into matrimony.
Huntsville is having a mighty re
vival of religion. Revs. T. j. Dun
can, r. X. Brown and J. @. Erwin
have been assisting and it is said
there are the same evidences of
spiritual operation witnessed in Pu-
laski last year. Three such preach
crs as these, combined in such a
cause, are rcsistlesS.
Dr. W. d, Leftwich spent a day
or two in Pulaski last week-the
first since he moved from US
There was a general expression Of
gladncss and a cordial welcome eX-
tended the man who crept so wonder
fully into the hearts of this people.
He is expected at Huntsville to as
sist in the great revival.
a young man in Knoxv lie
smoked forty cigarettes on a wager
and died from nicotine poison last
Sunday. Prepa atoms were made
for burial and after lie had been
dead three hours he gave evidences
of life and was revived. He may
now get well. 1t is not considered
safe now to smoke over thirty nine.
Mr.. L. w. McCord and Miss Sal
lie Shaphard spent Saturday in
Nashville. Mr.. McCord bought
gas fixtures and will have his resi-
dence lighted before Chess, Carley
& Co. construct their works here.
He will use the Cayce gas appara-
tus, which is now being manufac-
tured and largely used in Nashville.
A little boy, whose name we did
not learn, was thrown by a mule on
the street Saturday. 1t first APP
peared he was badly hurt, but it
was soon ascertained that slight
bruises on the head and the hip
was his only injury. Verify are
the descendants of the beast that
spoke to Balaam treacherous chill
dren.
Messrs. II. 4. Thompson and
Will Alternately boarded the south
bound train Sunday at high noon,
with palpitating hearts and shin
ing boots, and an ardent desire to
see their sWeethearts. You may
learn from the local papers of the
two places, that Mr.. A. stopped at
Athens, and Mr.. T. was registered
at hotel in Decatur.
Capt. Tom Gibson, large stock
dealer of Maury county, the news of
whose failure reached here coon at
ter his assignment was made last
Saturday, has the sympathy of his
Pulaski friends. The amount of
his failure is about $4,000, caused
by injuGicious dealing in fine stock.
AS we understand, however, his
wife's property is not involved.
Knoxville has organized a stock
company with a capital of 100000
for the purpose of starting cotton
factory in that city. Why can't Pu-
laski do something of the kind? As
we already have cotton factory,
start some other manufacturing en-
terprise. The immigration society
would do well to put such a project
as this upon their "Order of Bust
ness"
Taking into consideration the
heavy rainfall during the winter,
prognosticators expect dry sum-
mer, and some of the farmers favor
early planting as precaution
against drought. We heard one
man say he was going to com
mence planting corn next week;
another said he would begin early
in March. They are both practical
farmers of long experience.
Rev. T. j, Gailor, after an alb
sence of some weeks spent in Mem
phis, returned Friday, ana his
charge will no longer be deprived
Of his regular ministrations. Mr..
Gailors BUSINESS in Memphis was
to sell some real estate located
within the limits of the taxing dis
trict,and says that, owing to the eX
ceedingly heavy tax levied upon
property there, he was forced to sell
at very low figure.
Miss Memory, daughter of Rev.
John Marks, of Morgan county,
Ala, who has been visiting friends
in this community. will return
home to morrow, we under
stand. Her father formerly preached
in the NJ. f. churches in Giles, and
is well known by many of our read
