Nominated for Aldermen

A large number of the citizens Of
Pulaskf met in the Chancery court
room last night for the purpose Of
nominating six aldermen.
Maj. j. B. Stacy was called to the
chair and Chas. P. Jones made Sec
rotary.
A motion prevailed to appoint q
committee of five to select six

vention and the chair appointed
Messrs. T. M. N. Jones, Geo. W.
McLanrine, F. Arrowsmith, D. NJ.
Graham and Laps. D. McCord.

Crow we're placed in nomination

The old board of aldermen have
made their names renowned in the
history of Pulaski by the introduc-
ton of gas. The incoming board
can do almost as great thing and
add as much to the appearance and
attractiveness of the town, and at less
cost, by improving the streets that
lead from the square to the depot.
We mention these particularly be-
cause they are travelled most, and it
is a matter of Importance to have
the town present such an appearance
to strangers entering it as to create
a good impression upon them. The
streets leading up from the depot
ought if possible to be kept in per
feet order, and there ought by all
means to be good side walks every
step of the way. 1t is true that
''first impressions are the most last
ing" and if all the streets in town
can not be repaired, the first work
that is done ought, we think, to be
upon those referred to, and when
they are put in good order every
person coming into the place will
be ready at once to speak in its
praise, and they will do so when they
leave.

LYNNvILLE.

DIR Monroe Hudson died Tues
day evening. Jan. 2, of pneumonia
after brief illness of four days. He
was in prime of life and in the
midst of great usefulness and sur
rounded by a wife and beautiful
family of children. He had a large
practice and leaves vacuum in
his circle that can never be filled.
He lived midway between Lynnville
and Cornersville. He was loved
and respected by all who knew him
and it is needless to say the family
have the unbounded sympathy of
everybody.
DIR. j. E. Fry is to leave Mon
day to make his home in Pope
county, Ark. We hope success
may attend him.in his new home.
There is an effort being made
to surrender the charter of Lynn
vile. The fight is againt whisky.
A Kentucky preacher said here the
biggest devil in Kentucky is wills
ky. The same remark will apply to
Tennessee. We hope all will real
ize that it is their duty to oppose
this evil.
The election passed of quietly
here Saturday for election of alder
men. The old board were nearly
all elected.
Prank Fry, druggist at Clifton,
is home at his fathers spending a
week with his yonng friends.
Prof. w. j. Smith returned
from Town creek, Ala, where he
has been collecting for three months
past old left over store debts. He
brought away over $4,000 on old
British claims, so those who buy
goods from him here may be sure
be will collect the Bills Mrs.
Smith remains till next week
with her father, Col. Scruggs.
= Miss Ada Dansbee is steadily
improving. She has pneumonia.
Jim Fry of Dover, Ark, is out
on a visit among old friends and to
sell his fathers land.
The folks at Lynnville seem to
increase by moving. Since every
body got to moving they find there
are not houses for all. LYNN.

SUMAC.

There have been several move s
by citizens in and around this
place. But two have left the neigh
borhood-one of whom is Guthrie,
the blacksmith. He goes to Mr..
Jno. P. Williams, three or four
miles south of Pulaski. We havn't
learned yet who will mash iron
here this year.
Some of our friends spent the
holidays abroad. G. W. Parsons
and his son Charley among friends
and kin in Bedford county; Mrs.
Mendoza Marks of Zion neighbor
hood among kin in Nashville. This
reporter didn't mash a crust or
crumb away from home during t he
holidays. Never failed before, since
old enough to visit, to enjoy the
hospitality of somebody.
Another neat frame building
is going up here, to be occupied by
Joe Parsons, jr. This will make
three built by the members of the
mill firm within a year or two. The
place begins to look real townish.
Here is one popularity come cted
with it: Most of the villa gers
names begin with P: Parsons,
Pack, Pitts. Pack leaves this week
moves beyond Mrs. Maxwel's.
About half the suburban names
begin with E: Eslick, Estes
Ezell.
John Parsons nice residence,
just few hundred yards east of
Mr.. Merritt Eslick's, has been
ready for occupancy several weeks,
but on account of the protracted i'll
ness of Mrs. p, he hasn't yet moved.
She is, we are glad to learn, con-
valescing.
The holidays were spent in
this region, as in all others,in divers
ways, according to the taste, tenn
permanent and training of each per-
son or family. Christmas began
at II o'clock, so did some people
begin to celebrate it. Don't think
there was much debauchery, though
there must have been something
warmer than the pellucid waters of
Pigeon roost to cause some of the
the merriment enjoyed by some of
our citizens. The last fun heard
of the boys having was at the of
flee of w. A. Burr, esq. Some fam
lily east of there closed their cele-
bration of Christmas with a real
knoek-down-and- drag-out-fight. The
large proporportion of irrelevant
matter incorporated in the testl-
mony of some of the parties con-
cerned amused some of the specta-
tors exceedingly.
Mrs, Rowena Riddle has re-
mo Jed from Bohemian to Odd Eel
lows Hall. She is spending few
DAYS with friends here.
j. q. Roller, p. M, doesn't give
all his time and attention to the
mail, but fair portion to young
male at his house about as old as
the new year. MON.

Southern Prosperity.

There probably never was a time
when the people of the south as a
whole were more prosperous than
they are to-day, and it is pros
perity built upon a solid founda-
ton, that of industry. Hard years
of experience have taught the peo-
pie that success was attainable only
through labor, and to-day they are
laboring with hand and brain. They
are but beginning to find out the
vast resources of country which
for climate and variety of products
is unexcelled in the world, and they
are going to work to develop and
utilize those resources. They are
learning to be independent, and in
stead of shipping hay and grain
from the north, y e shall be sur
prised if in few years they do not
turn the tables and export food to
the north indeed, it has this year
already begun. The time was when
the south was exclusively agricul
tural in its pursuits, but the past
few years has seen factories spring
ing up all over this section and they
having proved profitable, others are
rapidly following. The south is
destined at no distant day to not
only raise cotton to clothe the coun-
try, but to manufacture it into fab
RIGS, thus keeping at home all the
profits
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1883-01-11


Pulaski need no longer dread the
pestilence that fameth at mid
night and devoureth before day
light. How we have suffered from
fires, the insurance underwriters
can alone figure out. 1t always
seems to catch on where it will do
the most good for its own appe-
tite, and it leaps and laps for the
the best article of household and
mercantile fuel we have on hand.
We have been utterly powerless--
absolute victims-and we have had
70 stand and see the smoke as
cending from the ruins of our pos
| essions and fold our arms and
warm our backs by the fire. How
we preached and prayed for de-
liverance that was slow to come,
and how we suggested and argued
and experimental and failed, the
books of the insurance agents alone
testify, aided to some extent by the
Offering and deliberately painted
quareicle that was nailed securely
in the engine house two years ago
to keep the boys from tying it to
the goats tail. But the day dawned
at last in the organization last week
of our Hook and Ladder Squadron.
Just in the nick. of time they came
Grouchey-like. Scarce had the ar
ticles been drawn and the lights
blowed out and the brave defend
ers of our homes sought the solace
of slumber sweet, when the alarum
sounded above the cracking of
flames that seemed to have come to
dare and try them. Quick! To
arms, like Marmion's hosts, they
ushed to the hot combat. Fiercely
they fight and bravely they went
down in defeat, not the less brave
because defeated, and still un-
dauntedl To be precise, it was
few little niggers and a straggler
or two from quality heights that
went down into the valley of the
frogs to toast their shins before the
burning house Tuesday night, while
the squadron slept the sleep of
peace uptown. When the ladders
come they will be placed at the
members windows and the hooks
used to pull themsout of bed, so
they may hear of the next fire be-
ore breakfast.
