week were tens, therefore the county IS
new, and has been since 1875, ready to
compromise them at so cents, the new
bonds to bear interest at 6 per cent.
from January ist, 1876. The PROPOSE
ton, last week, was to date the new
bonds now, thus paying the holders 4
per cent. more from January LIST, 1876
than has been paid to the holders OF
nine-tenths of the bonds, who have
already compromised, this 4 per cent.
to run on the extra 20 cents as well as
on the 80 cents. The proposition was
on SO, 900 of bonds. 1t is easy to calcu-
late the difference. The county court or
the taxpayers convention could not on
this question go behind the vote OF the
people at the polls. The expediency
of doing so cuts no figure in the matter.
But when expediency is urged it must
be remembered that the failure of the
compromise Of the remaining county
bonds will certainly defeat the compro-
mise of the $500, 900 of township bonds
that are still out. Allminor considers
lions are sunk in this overwhelming
fact. Justice moreover demands that
the holders of all the. county bonds
shall be treated alike; and there is a
rule in equity, crystalized in the late
U. S. bankrupt act, that where a cred
itor pays in a compromise more than
he agreed to pay at the beginning, and
more than he did pay to the first to
settle with him, that he may be COM
PEELED to pay the previous creditors q
like per centage. This law in equity
urged against us, as it probably would
be in the event of our departing from
the terms of the compromise, might
entangle us in litigation and costs far
greater than those under which we
now suffer. However this may be,
the people + determined, and for a
hundred good reasons, to stand by what
they did at the polls in 1875 and in 1882.

A Word to Business Men.

We respectfully refer our bust
ness men and people to letter from
Ohio published elsewhere. If we
could get concert of action among
our people and they would assist US
we are confidant we could turn
many good people this way. What
will they think of Pulaski as pro-
gressive town when they look at
the CITIZEN and see that not a
single dry goods house has an adj
vertisement in its columns? Ought
not a business man who gets his
patronage from the people exert
himself to help along his town and
county and people2 We are send
ing the CITIZEN all through the
north and men are writing for sam
pie copies to see what kind of a
town and country we have, and we
imagine they sometimes lay it down
and remark that it must be a
common town and country that has
such little business. The CITIZEN
ought to represent every business
enterprise in Pulaski and Giles
county, so that strangers seeing it
may form a good opinion of us and
come and locate with US. We are
at great trouble and some expense
to answer inquiries and furnish
copies of the paper to inquirers, but
we gladly do it for the benefit it
promises our county. We think
the business men ought to second
our efforts by more liberal use of
these columns,

BY THE GILES COLLEGE BOYS.
The most of us that were here
last fall are back again this spring
Five weeks Of the session are now
gone and during that time some of
the boys have been considerably ex
ercised over the smallpox scare
and now that that has subsidized, the
mumps are prevailing pretty exten
sively among US. Aside from this,
everything seems to be working
tremendously. The boys are in fine
spirits, especially the Latin classes.
We have new class in Caesar and
also one in Cicero. Last Monday
morning we had an exercise on
composition and rhetoric and this
morning we had a lecture from
Prof. Guthrie on English literature
which was highly Instructive.
Some of US expect to leave school
at the close of this term, and
for such we have class in East
mans bookkeeping that they ex-
pect to complete in June. Thus
our teachers are striving to give us
complete and generous education,
that will fit US to perform justly,
skillfully and magnanimously
all the offices, both private and pub.
lie, of peace and war.
We are glad to see the bright
face of E. B. Long again after q
weeks sickness.
Mrs. Guthrie is preparing &c
leave us this week, for a stay of a
few weeks with friends in Kentucky
We hope her trip may be one Of
pleasure, but we shall await her re
turn with Impotence, for durin 2
the time. she been at Giles Col
lege, by her gentleness and kind
ness, she won the esteem Of all, and
in her absence it will be pleasant
to remember our past associations
And then for Prof Guthrie we dc
feel so-well we hope it will not
soon be thus again.
And now to Martin Colleges blushing lasses
Whose luscious sweetness admiration dotl
invite,
Whose charms our peace of heart 80 mucl
harnesses,
We would vouchssfe woid-and thus w
write:
We love, adore, would worship at the shiin'
| OF maiden lowell ness and beauty so divine
And at the sacred altar of thy charms W,
bow
And call the gods to witness as we VOW:
Wine ibbiDg we eschewl
Heaven help us to be truel
| We dash the cup to atoms at thy feet,
But that our cup of life may still be sweet
We would implore q drop in each our glasses
Of that rich nectar, Martin College 'lasses.

simpsons Chapel:

II
Mrs. Alice Simpson and her
sister, Miss Kate Anderson, were
visiting in this neighborhood tho
first of the week. Miss Maggie
Cakes, an amiable ard accomplished
belle of Columbia, returned home
after two weeks visit in this
neighborhood. She won the love
and admiration of all who met her
and most especially some of the
boys.
The 13 inst. will long be re-
membered by some of the young
folks here. The day was a pretty
one and the Misses Pedens, Miss
Cakes, Misses Eliza and Mary Sell
lers and Mary Lou Simmons, with
Willie Sellers and Gid. Simmons
for escorts, spent the day in the
woods fox hunting. The ladies en-
joyed the ride more than the fox
race, as the hounds kept up too
much fuss for them to hear the race
and the girls kept up so much
chatter and laughter that the boys
could not hear the hounds.
Quite a number of young ladies.
and gents of this place attended the
mite supper last Friday night at
Mr.. II. NJ. Bugg's. 1t was an en-
joyable affair.
Willie, little son of JAS. c.
Moore, has been very low with
for several days and
the chances for his recovery are
slender.
Miss Lucy Black has not en-
tirely recovered yet.
w. w. Simmons came very
near getting his back broken one
morning last week. He was assist
ing to raise horse up that had got
down in the stable, and the horse
a lunge to rise knocked
him against trough. He is able
to walk about some now.
-Hib. Bledsoe is doing a good
business in his new shop on north
pigeon roost.
-Wylie Barnes Of near Elkton
moved to this neighborhood Tues.
day Of last week.
Miss Eliza Sellers commenced
school at the Alexander school
house Monday morning. She is
sure to win.
There has been a great deal of
excitement over maddogs in this
section for some time past. Every
man who owns gun should keep it
loaded and shoot every worthless
dog that's away from home.

"A. w. Parker, accompanied by
his daughter, Miss Alice, and his
grand daughter, Miss Eugenia
Yancy, made visit to his brother
j. M. Parker of Columbia. Mr..
Parker returned Saturday and the
young ladies will remain several
days longer.
Mrs. McCallock and Miss Lula
Walker and Messrs. Hood Walker
and Sam Miller arrived Feb. 18th
from Texas. The. ladies came on a
visit to relatives. The young men
will attend school in Pulaski or
Campbellsville. We admit that
Texas has fine lands, but in Ten
nessee we have fine lands and good
schools.
Misses Florence Woodland and
Lizzie Rogers, accompanied by
Miss Lula Smith, came out home
the 10th to meet their Texas rela-
tives.
Mr.. Warden's school will soon
close and there will not be a single
school in progress from Campbells-
vile to Bohemian. This is some
thing that has not happened in q
long while. We want a school in
this community. We have three
commodious school houses and we
need three proficient teachers who
have some go-a-head about them.
For the last few days farming has
been on a boom; everything began
to look like spring had come, wheat
had improved very much, but Sun
day morning changed the program.
We are glad to say that DIR.
Carter has recovered so as to re-
sumo his studies at Vanderbilt.
The second quarterly meeting
for Pleasant Valley circuit will be
held at Salem on the oath and 18th
of February.
More improvement on Dry
Creek-Clay Hays is erecting a large
barn which will add much to his
farm.
Most of our young men have
quit farming and gone to buying
cattle. Just as soon as q boy can
sprout a small mustache he will
mount a donkey or something of
the kind and put out to cattle
specializing, and when he gets one
poor little scrnb to pop his whip at
he will chase him through the mud
and think sure he has q fortune in
the future and no mistake. UNo.

LYNNVILLE.


--Neddie Styles and Will Walker
started to Dallas, Texas, Thursday.
They are two of our cleverest young
men and we are sorry to see them
go. They. go out to join Newt
Walker in selling fruit trees. Newt
did well at it last year. We hope
they may come home laden with
Texas currency after awhile.
Gordon Walker, who has for
several years been railroad official
at Ft. Worth, Texas, came home
Thursday evening to visit his
mother, Mrs. Col. Walker, and his
host of friends here. He lost leg

very severe attack of neuralgia in
her eyes the past week.
Miss Sallie Cayce, our art

covered, but is much improved.
-Chestley West had first ar
rival, new girl, Friday at his house
before he is 81.
Capt. r. A. Mitchell came in
Tuesday after a protracted tour
of drumming. His friends were get
ting quite uneasy about him as he
had not been heard from in some
time. They feared he had been
foully dealt with or had committed
matrimony or something serious
but he came in occupying a whole
seat on the car land it was full too)
and looking fresh as a May morn
ing and innocent as a little lamb,
and, if possible, more jolly and
genial than ever.
"A big law suit here Friday
brought out Judge Wright of Co
lumbia on one side and Flournoy
Rivers, esq'r, of Pulaski on the other.
The matter in controversy was a
bit of rent on some Big creek land
The eloquence and erudition that
was aired was of high grade and
cost the litigants possibly more than
the amount in controversy.
Mr.. Jake Miller, formerly OF
Pleasant Valley but now of Texas,
and his sister, Mrs. Rodgers OF
Pleasant Valley, were visiting at Mr.,
Carriers and Mr.. Cameron's, their
relatives, here the past week. Mr.
Miller, like the sensible man he is,
had the CITIZEN sent to his address
in Texas. He is in poor health :
some stomach trouble. LYNN.

Mrs. L. D. Whitson of Murfrees

days engaged in getting up data
from which to write up Pulaski and
its business and industrial interests.
She is an authoress of considerable
note and has been engaged in this
occupation for several years, travel
ing through the south. She met
with some encouragement here and
will doubtless succeed in making
the arrangements necessary to pub
lish her article upon Pulaski. She
bore some very strong letters of ap-

less her venture will be beneficial

Rev. D. L. Wilson, at o'clock, p. m.

On slast Thursday, the usual
quiet.of our village was disturbed
by the sudden occurrence of fight.
The parties had hitherto been
friends; and to add another shade
of regret, they were kindred. The
spectators stood off and never
touched a finger to stop the I'M
pleasantness, but each one yelled,
hurrah! for his favorite party. If a
small canine had not interfered for
peace, 1t might thave been more
sanguinary affair. They separated,
going in opposite directions, and as

defiantly shouted back "cock-a-doo-
