A Hardeman County Ghost
Jackson Dispatch.

Jackson Dispatch
We learn that the citizens of the Green
wood church neighborhood, over in Harde-
man county, near the southwestern corner
of Madison, have been excited recently over
the pranlls of ghost that has been at work
at the church. One of the planks in the
floor has been the basis of the ghosts opera
tons and has. not been behaving with the
usual gentilty and decorum Of plank in
similar positions, but has been found out of
place on one or two occasions. Some of the
citizens resolved to see what was the matter
with the ruly piece Of timber, and dug
down under the floor and found bone and
a piece Of a hickory shirt. The water
prevented them from digging deeper, and
they have suspened operations Til the water
falls, when they may find out something
more about his ghostship. In the mean
while we would suggest to the young men
OF the community not to remain out calling
on their girls too late at light, AS it may be
a migratory ghost and may catch them on
the wing.

Jacks Pravarica tions

The following is taken from the
Nash, Ellis county, Texas, letter to
Waxahatchie paper:
Jack Alternately, colored, who
came here from Giles county, Tenn,
little more than a year ago and
who made very fine crop on Mr..
John Harrison's place, returned to
his native county recently. He
says he had induced some Of his
relatives and friends to emigrate to
this country and he was going to
bring them out with the money he
made this year. They were making
their arrangements to start in a few
days when the whites coming into
possession of the facts gave
him notice to leave and mot to
stay upon the order Of his going;
but to 90 at once" If this be so
these whites are very wrong. These
blacks are free and they are not as
general thing making more than
hard living, and if they wish to
go where they can do better, in the
name of justice and fair play, let
them go. These same whites and
the paper paper published st Pu-
laski have done all they could to
prevent emigration hither by crying
down this country aud making a
noise about the returning "prodi
gap when any person came out
here and returned; and now they
propose to go a step further and
prevent the negro from emigrating
by intimidation. Shame upon such
conductm
Jack has misrepresented things
greatly. He came here few weeks
since and took occasion to say
to Andrew j. Alternately, esq r,
that he did not come for any
one else. While here he found 9th
er negroes y no wanted to 90 and
Mr.. Alternately and his brother,
j. 7. Alternately, esq'r, helped him
to make arrangements and even
suggested negroes to him who
they thought could better their
condition in Texas. Mr.. John Nc
Cormack also assisted him ard Mr..
John NJ. Aymett told him to take
any family on his place that wanted
to go. Jack seems to have feared
then that he would meet objections
to the emigration scheme and he
went off to Nashville, promising to
return and take 9 family that Mr..
Mccormack had persuaded to 60
with him, but he did not return
His tale is a pure fabrication and
we are surprised that the Nash
correspondent took negroes Sian
ders for truth and used them
against q people that the writer
must knoW 10 be above such fool
ishness. "The paper at Pulaski
has not cried down Texas nor tried
to intimidate any one. 1t has tried
to hold up its country and induce
our good people to stay here, but il
recognizes the fact that Texas is 5
good country and bids all God
speed who decide to try it. That
paper would be a pretty feol to
sit here and try to move its pa
irons west. We don't want to say
that Jack lied. He was scared an5
his fears coDjured mp this intimi
dation.

FirS!

Fires in Pulaski occur in rapid
succession. Last week there was q
notice of a small house burning
near the depot, and while the paper
was being printed another house
was burning in that part of town.
The Rose house, which is supposed
to have been maliciously set
on fire, was burned. 1t
was vacant at the time. The ten
ants being recently elected for
non payment Of rents, accounts, it
is said, for the incendiarism. The
next day Thursday the east side
Of the square narrowly escaped a
confagration. A fire YVES discover
ed in the basement of /. Hanne-
bergs, which Origin ated from the
baking furnace. Happily it oc-
Cured in the day time and was ex-
tinguished before 1t gained any
Roadway. The fire fiends seem to
have special spite against Mr..
Hanneberg and to haunt him
wherever he goes. In fact they !
seem to make Pulaski their abiding /
place. Can il be that they prefer /
this abode because there is No pro
lection against them here? Will Il
our people sit still year after year
and see the property of the town
destroyed and make no effort to
provide for its safety? Yes, it
seems that they will. At least
hey have been doing so They fold
heir hands and do nothing during
he short intervals between fires.
md when il occurs they can do no
better, for they are helpless to
heck the flames, and they fold
heir hands again and let them run
heir course. The CITIZEN has
cen doing all in it's power to have
'ater works built, and the losses
I town by fire since it first sugges-
ed plan would pay over and over
nd again the expense of carrying
ut that plan. We still hope that
Dmething will be done in the flu
Ire to give the property of the
own some protection.
