The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1883-05-24
An Old Pulaski paper.

<4A S4A h4cbSA4 : R6I,
We have before us a copy of the
Pulaski Gazette of Oct. s, 1852
Moore d Estes, publishers. 1t is
well printed in large, clear type
one size larger than this, seven col
umns to the page, and is well filled
with advertisements. 1t floats a flag
and carries at its masthead for pres
ident Gen. Winfield Scott; for vice
president, VIM. A. Graham; with
the whig electoral ticket. The dis
tinguished Irish orator who after
wards came to tragic death, Hon.
Jas. NJ. Davidson, of Lincoln, was
electOr for this district. The 20
litical questions of those stirring
times are discussed learnedly and
with great force. 1t was about
then that the slavery question be-
gan to assume a shape that grad
ually estranged the sections and
brought on the war Col. A. NJ.
Looney of Columbia, now a repre-
sentative, had list of appointments
to speak in Giles, and Judge Thos.
D. Eldridge, now OF Memphis, and
Hon. ThOs. NJ. Jones are reported
as having spoken the Monday be-
fore. 1t seems that the practice of
feeding the editor then prevailed.
Alex. M. Steele sent in some enor-
nous peaches; Mrs. Patsy Kennedy
sent a mammoth beet; w. NJ. Rose,
esq'r, presented a very fine vegeta-
BILE egg; VIM. A. Maultsby sent a
lot of luscious pears. "These pIos-
porous, lucky and liberal friends are
all wings, good and true, and 90 for
Scott" Even at that remote day
sinfulness abounded. as witness the
following daring worldliness:
SIR:-Some gentleman in Columbia,
it seems, offers to bet So, 900 and give
5000 votes that Pierce will carry Ten
nessee. Now we say in all earnestness
to the Columbia gentleman that we will
lind at least three responsible men here
VINO will give him 81 900 to come to
this place and close that bet.
PULASKI.
We don't know whether he came
or not.
An article copied from the Flor
ence Gazette gloats over the pros
pect of the early completion of the
and Florence railroad. 1t
is worthy of note that the first train
that ever entered Lawrence county
went in last week and this road
that was then promised before
Christmas, after Thirty years time
still lacks some fifty miles.
"The Tennessee Methodist An
nual Conference will commence its
next session at this place on the
18th of next month"
