The old board was elected:
Clicked Our New Mayor.

Mayor elect John L. Allen, before
he swallowed the oath of Office, was
badly choked. 1t is supposed that
he thought, because he demolished
so formidable an opponent as the
present incumbent, he could do any
thing. But he tackled the wrong
rooster on last Tuesday. He was
the cock of the walk. Though less
than twenty years old, he was a
tough one, and he soon got away
with the mayor and sent him to
the doctor for repairs. The particu-
lars of the difficulty, so far as they
appear on the surface, are viz: The
mayor-elect tried to eat four-year
old spring chicken without picking
out the bones, and DR.. Wilson had
to correct the mistake. A wide thin
bone about the size of half dollar
lodged in his throat and its extrac-
ton caused Mr.. Allen a great deal
of pain.

Mr.. Grantham, special agent of
the Franklin Square Library Co., is
in Pulaski this week establishing a
library. The plan is endorsed by
all papers and people wherever es-
tablished, but it needs only state
ment to insure it's adoption any
here. A number of persons sub
scribe and a number of standard
books OF this Library are deposited
here and each person allowed to
read them in turn. Thus for a dol
lar a person may have access to a
hundred books. The books will be
deposited here at Mr.. Smithson's
book store. 1t gives you the best
opportunity you eyer had to read
the best current literature.

The Election Saturday.

49, A@~eSSAS%@ %ASA@ eAs~yt
A new mayor presides over the
old board. The old board ran in a
body because they said they wished
to vindicate themselves. They
are INDICATED. Mayor Smith re-
tires after long and well-spent of
fetal career. Mayor Allen steps in
at an opportune time-a vigorous,
brainy, progressive L an takes the
helm just at the crisis when Pulas-
XII starts up hill. The board was
gosded into running. We hail this
as a dawning. A board runs-men
want TO be elected and they run
on an IDEA. Unheard of in Pulas
XII! If the CITIZEN has helped to
aggravate men to action, what a
glorious thing is accomplished. The
old board thoughtlessly changed
the terms of the peoples demand
on the water works question. No
one ever for a moment imagined
the gentlemen on the board acted
dishonorably and disloyally, bat
their action was subject to criti-
cism. The CITIZEN criticised, the
board resented it and ran again and
were elected and the CITIZEN Voted
for part Of them. The distinctive
idea is Free Schools. Both tickets
were run upon that idea. One was
aggravated into it, and the other
WAS the aggTavatOr.
Pulaski needs free schOo svs-
TEN infinitely more than she needs
water works and if the CITIZEN has,
even at the expense of little feel
ing, aggravated a half dozen good,
honest, progressive, safe men to
push it, why it is exactly what we
wanted. We would have pursued
this policy long ago if we had
thought of it. Now nobody is
hurt and the thing is done, and the
board has nothing to do except to
carry out the will of the people as
at the head of all the tick
cts voted. " believed we could have
both water works and free schools,
but we saw chance for water works
first. We seized and pushed it, and
in Selling and pushing we have
p0SAOO ShO OOdA0 AlELO OA u
free school ticket. They are COM
mitted to it and the people are COM
mitted to it. We stand ready to
confess to defeat in the water works
project, but out of the ashes of that
defeat comes a victory in another
direction that was far more to be
desired. We sincerely and truly
rejoice in the result of all this agi-
,ation.
Now let's see if the board will
carry it out. If you gentlemen will '
AXE one word of advice you will t
push this thing while the iroz is '
not and Barkls' is willing. Don't l
ct it die from stagnation and de- {
ay. If free schools are needed
1T all they are needed NOW
Let them start within thirty days. s
Then we'll see people commence to {
move to Pulaski to get advantage of l
bur schools. We are cordially in j
sympathy and will assist this |
BOARD in all its efforts for the good t
IF Pulaski, and we shall criticise
when it needs it. Pulaski has long I
needed some one to stir up the l
iregs. Good came of this. No one s
