Little Florence Jones returned
home last Friday, from Pulaski,
where she had been attending Mar
tin College. Florence gives evil
dence of mental development that
speaks volumes for her efforts, and
of her tutors. She is a bright lit

We understand that the business
men of Nashville contemplate con-
Meeting Pulaski and that city by
telephone, tapping at Franklin and
Columbia. If done it will be great
convenience to their customers
along the line, but will certainly
gouge the railroad and telegraph

that means she would catch a good
trade that now passes to northern
cities.
DIR. j. Berrien Lindsey of Nash
vile is writing a history of Tennes-

history of all the wars in which
Tennesseans engaged. A brief
sketch of each regiment in the late
war will be given. 1t will cover the
whole field and be very important
to the state. He will visit every
county and his learning and energy
are guarantees that the work will be
well done.

Bethel want a pike? Wake up,
people, for the love of your country,
wake up! Six BIS want pixies.
Verify, Giles has a turnpike B in
her bonnet. Initiate Brick Church.

The following complimentary
notice of former resident of Pu-
laski whom our people kindly re-
member is taken from the Knoxville
correspondent of the Chattanooga
Times. His cleverness and bust
ness energy could not be exagger-
ated:

for some years the active and sue
cessful manager of the affairs OF the
Wheeler q Wilson Manufacturing
Co. in East Tennessee, has accepted
a position with Oats, White d Co.

factor in building up the affairs o.
this house"
