Whiskey Drinking.

The four mile law is said and
thought to be the most effective
temperance statute in force in any
of the states. We believe there is
not saloon in Giles county out
side of Pulaski and the consequence
is, the temptation withdrawn, it is
rare to hear of a drunken man in
the county. But it has had bad
effect upon Pulaski. These men
who were wont to patronize the
country GROCERY hasten to town on
public days to give vent to their
pent-up appetites. Human nature
will not brook you shall not and
it is so-restless under !'yoQ can
not that at the first opportunity
that mate love of liberty to do aud
say and think as you please asserts
itself eXOrbitantly. The increase
of consumption at the drink centers
is not in keeping with the general
decrease, however, and by just that
much is the four mile law better
than all others. The tendency is
to complete reformation. An appe-
tite that has to wait for first Mon
day will after while lose its NOR
bidity, though there are some old
stomachs that are smoked and
burned out like a hollow tree in the
clearing and there's nothing that
will permeate the crust that wills
ky burnt over it except whisky it.
self, and these men will take it
whenever they touch land. These
thoughts all come from observations
last Monday. There is perceptibly
less general inclination to drink
but decidedly more inclination on
the part of q few to make up for
lost time and lay in for future ref
erence. This>is reducing the num-
Der to the more boisterously in
clined and the fewer they get the
louder they curse. The law against
carrying weapons is also reviving
fist practice and the country towns
are returning to the good old

Dr.. Wilson Comes Back.

DR.. w. Z. Wilson sold out every
thing he had two months ago and
went to Texas to live. Last Satur-
day he registered in Pulaski for
life, having been gone just six
weeks. He went over a large part of
Texas, saw many fine locations and
came across places where he could
make money faster than he can in
Giles, but he came back the best
satisfied man alive that Giles coun-
ty and Middle Tennessee possess
more of the requisites for comforta-
bic, prosperous and happy living
than any section he passed through.
Dir. Henry Arrowsmith, just back
from trip through the richest sec
tions of the west and over the
golden plains of California, says
that he found no place he had
rather live than Giles. Such testi-
mony is valuable to the restless,
rowing, dissatisfied son of toll who
is down with western fever. When
these men return they nearly al
ways buy them cemetery lot here.
They come back satisfied and to
stay. DR.. Wilson will locate in Pu-
laski-an acquisition to the profess
sion, to society to our citizenship,
thrice welcomed.

Turnpike Meetinr.

There will be a meeting of
the citizens at Bunker Hill next
at L o'clock for the pur-
pose of organizing a company to
construct a turnpike from Pisgah to
Bethany. 1t is said that the gravel
lies ali along the route and there
are several citizens earnest and anx-
ious to go to work. 1t can easily
be done. It'has just dawned upon
the public that 1t doesn't take
fortune to build a pike, but a few
men by honest, persistent effort can
accomplish what a few months ago
was considered impossible. Let
the people of that country come
out, everybody, promptly at one
o'clock. A pike from Pisgah to
Bethany means a great deal for
that country and her wide-awake
men ought not to let this opportu-
nifty slip while the fever is up.

Too late now for any one, what

Death of Mrs. Keves.

ieneiee married Maj. Geo. p.
Reyes shortly after leaving Pulaski
nearly five years ago. She had
been sorely afflicted for years but
the disease assumed an acute stage
about a month before the end and
during that time her sufferings were
intense. Few women were gifted
with such nobleness of character
and mesmeric attractiveness. The
children worshlpped her, her &C
quaintances loved her and the com
munity admired h,r- because her
character wasexalted and lovely and
her life exhibited all those excel
lent traits that mark an edurated,
christian woman of commanding
virtues. How sad the stroke to her
aged parent. April IIth last

drowned, and now this sorrow fol |

that Giles held an enviable place
in the great fruit show. 1t was
said to be the finest display of fruits
ever seen in the world. Capt. Jas.

made entries in several rings, Mr..
Harwell taking first premium of $25
on best ten varieties of apples and
Capt. Alternately the second premi-
um of $40. The latter also took
the premium on the best plate of
wine saps. The Courier Journal
also noticed the arrival of exhibits

Train Wreckerg.

Another villainous attempt was
made last Sunday to wreck a train
at Dodson's Gap. 1t had only been
a few days since an obstruction at
the same place ditched several cars
of freight train, which being sew
eral hours behind thus accidentally
saved the passenger train from run
ming into the danger. Sunday af-
ternoon cross ties were placed on
the track at the gap doubtless with
the intention of wrecking the north
bound passenger train, but the ac-
commodation passed a few hours
before the passenger was due and
the obstruction was discovered in
time to prevent catastrophe. The
villain who, for spite against the
railroad authorities or personal
grudge against some of the en-
ployes, will thus endanger the lives
of so many innocent people is more
to be dreaded than the highway
robber or the assassin who commits
his heinous crimes under the cover
of darkness, and the railroad and
civil authorities ought to offer a re
ward and spare no pains to bring
him to justice.

The new counter and desks in
the new Peoples Bank reflect i'm
mense credit upon the skill of Mr..
Sam. C. Mitchell. it is perhaps
the most elaborate piece OF wood
work ever done in Pulaski and is
fully up to the stan dard of perfect
workmanship. The body is solid
walnut, inlaid with carved and
turned oak trimmings and elaborate
panel work. We are not versed in
such matters sufficiently to give
faint idea of it's appearance, bu.
the most casual observer detects at
a glance the presence of genius in
its construction. 1t corresponds
with the gorgeous wall ornaments
and rich surrounding that make up
the building from top to bottom
rendering it as handsome build
ing as any suothern town can
boast.

Campmeetinr,

A multitude of people attended
campmeeting at Hurricane last Sum
day. Pulaski as to numberswas
perhaps the most poorly repre-
sented of any town along the road
from here to Nashville. The regu-
lar trains from both directions were
crowded, an extra came down
from Columbia, and a vast number
of people of the Immediately sur
rounding country came by private
conveyance. Besides two good ser
mons by preachers of this district,
Rev. DR.. Harrison of Nashville
preached at eleven in the forenoon
and at night. His celebrity as a
preacher and his acknowledged su-
perior literary attainments brought
almost every person on the grounds
to the shelter to hear him. Both
sermons were worthy of this most
worthy divine, fall of wisdom yet
plain and impressive. This is the
first time for several years that all
the tents on the grounds have been
occupied. None ere vacant now,
and the prospect of a profitable
meeting is flattering. There are
six services each day, including
four sermons.

THE PULASKI
Suit was brouobt AGAINST Giles

Suit was brought against Giles
county several months ago in the
federal cnurt at Nashville to recov-
er the balance due for the chemical
fire extinguisher. Andrew j. Abcr-
nathy has been retained by the
board and authorized to effect a
compromise, but the parties will
not listen to any abatement The
amount due is something near
81, 500 and there is every probabili-
ty that Judgment viii go against us.
We ought not to pay costs. 1t oc-
ours to us that the board should
pay for the engine and then make
provisions for having it extricated
from the dust and cobwebs and put
in fix
