'A-EI II ~
The rain Tuesday prevented the
meeting Of the reading club at
Martin College as announced.
Miss Minnie Wade, daughter OF
Capt T. b. Wade of this vicinity,
has been elected second senior
French valedictorian at Wards
seminary in Nashville.
"Thunder," that well-known livery
horse of w II. Rose, will never run
away with any more OF the Pulaski
boys. He has has been traded to a
drover for two Kentucky horses.
Wheat and fruit-are about out OF
danger from cold weather he
easter spell is past. Farmers and
everybody else feel better. Even il
cold wouldn't kin wheat, we would
rather not risk it.
The Giles County Stock Breeders
Association is called to meet in
Maj. J. B. Stacy's office next Satur-
day at II o'clock a m. BY order
of the president.
D. S. MARTIN, Sec'y.
DR.. H. C. Worley is at home
again, having finished his medical
course at Nashville. He has just
recovered from an eight week s
severe sickness and looks pale yet.
He will probably locate at Brick
Church.
Mr.. John w. West, former sheriff
Of Giles county, who has been living
at White Plains, Ala, for year r
two, has returned to Pulaski to work
upon the new Presbyterian church.
His family will soon follow. He
has the opinion, almost universal
that Giles county is the best after
all.
The easter snap was a right sharp
spell of weather. 1t lasted just a
week, and during that time every
night was cold enough for frost, but
fortunately it was too cloudy or
windy every n ght but two. A steady
north wind prevailed several days,
but shifted TO the east Monday and
it turned warm.
Charles L. Carter, of Pulaski, has
been secured as publisher of the In
dependent. He comes his hly recon-
mended as young man of integrity,
honor and sobriety. He has the
reputation of being a number one
job printer. We trust his stay will
be pleasant and prof able to all of
US McMairy Independent.
The bribery investigation report
at Nashville is voluminous and
5000 copies will be printed 1t
censures Smith, white-washes Nor
gan and leaves the senate to say
whether Barrett is guilty or not.
They were to consider it Monday
evening, but the distinguished sen
ator's preferred Coup's circus.
The Banner does an injustice to
the memory Of Will J. Keel ne the
unfortunate suicide, in saying that
he was addicted to whiskey and
gambling. He worked upon the
CITIZEN two or three years and we
never heard of him gambling and
very rarely did he take a drink.
The matter is sad enough without
load ng it with misrepresentation.
s.----.
Mr.. j. Press Alternately succeeds
Mr.. Bose Gilbert in the grocery
house of Gibson d. Gilbert and the
firm is now Gibson d Alternately.
He is a reliable man and will
doubtless bring n large trade with
him. Mr.. Gibson is one of our
stirringest and most competent
Young business men and deserves
the success that is browning his bus
mess efforts.
The cotton planter and cultiva-
tor patented 10y the father of our
townsman, John I. Allen, esq T,
which we have before mentioned
in these columns, was placed upon
trial in the Elkton vicinity the 9th
er day and did its work splendidly.
We inquired of Il gentleman who
witnessed the trial and he unhesi-
tatingly pronounces it It success and
saws there is a fortune in it. Mr.
Allen will return in a few weeks and
exhibit its utility in plowlng, scrap
ing and chopping cotton.
The olfactories of the members of
the dancing club have been greeted
with shifts of cayenne pepper the
last two or three meetings. 1t
causes coughing, sneezing and
strangulation, and curs-ory flights
of speech are used in commenting
upon the wicked man who dares
thus to aGulterate the floating dust
As soon as the fellow is found out
he will be pitched head first from
the second story window, and then
expelled from the club.
Prot. Alex. deAnquinos, accom-
panied by his handsome son, ar
rived in Pulaski Tuesday and
opened his gallery yesterday. The
people already know the unsur
passed excellence of his work. He
announces that he will remain on
ly three week and he will certainly
depart at that time, so that his
services must be sought at once.
He exhibits some new styles that
are very beautiful, and all his work
bears evidence Of his unequaled
skill.
Miss Hasslock entertained a
large number of visitors last Fri
