The Pulaski hook and ladder
company is composed of good men,
and they certainly have field in
which to do good work. And their
object is not to be laughed at, al
though they have been joked for
failing to learn of an Insignificant
fire in the outskirts of town. If
they are supplied with the proper
equipments and prepare themselves
by practice, their presence would
tell at such fires as we have had re
Gently in Pulaski There is no time
when organization is more needed
than wben,fighting fire, and we hope
that this organization viii be per
fected and result in good to the
town. We are not inform ed of the
intentions of the company, but hope
they will push forward to success.

Mr.. Rankin's Lecture.

Mr.. Jas. p. Rankin delivered the
first of his series of lectures on tenn
perance at the circuit court room
Tuesday night. He considered the
Law, Divine and Human" which
bears on the subject. Next Tues
day night "The Gospel will be the
theme, and the following Tuesday
night Salvation" The application
is made to temperance ando the
three lectures will develope his plan
for the promotion of the cause. He
handles the questions with his usual
strong, argumentative style ana
forces the thoughts home with
sled9ehammer rhetoric. His audi
ence was small, ON account of the
very bad weather, together with an
apathy always peryading commu-
nifty where this question is sprung.
Do not forget next Tuesday night
again. He will suggest matters
that call for action in a matter that
demands the cooperation of all
good people. and his audience will
be an index of popular opinion.

Martin College SPARKS.
STRUCK BY THE GIRLS

AS our school occupies so high
a place in the estimation of the pub
lie, we have thought that few
items from our daily life may be OF
interest. Our school this term is
quite full, the boarders numbering
more than ever before. We have
recently had the pleasure of well
coming Misses Grace Elder and
Emma Jones, from West Tennessee,
who viii take a special course in
some of the higher branches To
these may be added the names, Mat
tie Reed, Ada Smith and Minnie
Ross, two of whom were with us last
year.
We are sorry to say that Prof.
Jones has been afflicted this week
with very sore eye; however, he
still has an "eye single to the well
fare of CHS daughters"
The name of our society has
been changed to The Spofordl Lit
erary Society of Martin College.
Christmas, with its wealth of
joys, has come and gone, and again
we find ourselves following the same
pleasant routine of school life as be-
fore. After week If dissipation it
was certainly no slight task to col
lect our truani thoughts, and adj
dress ourselves properly to the field
Of duty before US; but we are happy
to say that once more we are fairly
settled, and are laboring with re
newed zeal.

Judge z. B. Logan Dead.

A letter received yesterday from
Mr.. TalIaferro encloses another
from Jesse Turner, Van Buren,,
Ark, which discloses the sad fact
that Judge Thos. Boykin Logan,
formerly of Pulaski, died very sud
denly there Jan. 1st. 1t said he
had made many friends there but
his conduct sometimes indicated
dependency and gloom. They did
not know anything of his relatives
and it was said he was extremely
reticent. He was buried with the
Episcopal service and they write to
ascertain his relationship so as to
turn over his trunk and small effects.
Judge Logan came here from South
Carolina few years after the war
and soon took rank with our first
lawyers. He was elected senator
from this district in 1873 and was
highly respected. He left here
very suddenly, leaving his library,
and it was several months before it
was ascertained where he had gone.
He was peculiar man, but there
was nothing wrong with his charac-
ter that we have heard of. His
sudden death is mysterious and sad
and many here will regret to learn
of it.

The Ward System.

There is considerable expression
in favor of the ward system for Pu-
laski. In the election last Saturday
the north end was entirely left out
in representation on the board, and
this is very justly excepted to. Each
division of the town ought TO be
represented so that the interests of
each may have special champion.
There are evils connected with this
system, we know, but it is no more
dangerous to the rights CT the peo-
pie than under the present system.
1t will narrow down things so that
it will be less difficult for narrow
men to get in, and thus create in
Pulaski that detestible creature, the
Ward Boss.n But we must rely
upon each ward to return good
men, and even if it does send IN an
Objectionable representative, it is
better thus than that she should
have no representative at all. 1t will
also create sectional rivalries and
sometimes animosities, but we do
not know but that this will be- an
advantage instead of detriment, in
squirting each to be jealous in behalf
of his section, and that will benefit
all. Taken altogether, we believe
it would he a good idea to divide
Eulaski into wards, and the new
board should take the master in
hand now while the question is
fresh and divide it.
