The November Excursion of Northern Men

The CITIZEN has heretofore given
notice of the contemplated excur-

notified of the approach of the time
and what is expected of us. Col.
Robert Gates, assistant commission
er, has been attending the fairs and
visiting the different sections of the
northwest and he has created a
boom for Tennessee. West Tennes-
see has had several excursions and
the new cOmers with their new meth
DDS are scattered through the coun-
try and are leaYening the whole
farming system. Col. Gates was in
Pulaski several weeks ago to an
nounCe the excursion and to see if
this county wished to see them. If
we invite them, there will be some
preparation to make. They must be
received handsomely, public well
come ended, carriages provided
and excursions into the country
made, etc. Col. Gates writes thus
to the CITIZEN under date of Sep. 80:

that your people will give public recep-
lions, afford facilities for seeing some
thing of the country around your town,
and during the short stay of the party
entertain them free OF charge at their

IN due time. What we want now is to
know what weimay expect of your peo-
pie. Write me on or before the 18th of

only use the compliment passed
upon 1t by Presiding Elder Duncan
last Wednesday, who said that
when completed 1t would be the
gem of all the parsonages in the
Tennessee conference. This not
only speaks in much praise for the
people in the Pisgah circuit for
their generosity in building this
magnificent home for their preach
ers, but also speakes much for the
architect and builder, Mr.. Mat.
Cornell. A meeting for the inter

held here last Wednesday. Many

tured in the morning on an important

made another talk. Our pastor,

the four churches and regular week
ly prayer meetings and Sunday
school are held at each of the four

more welcome here than his return,

will carry the prayers and good

goes.

has done all in his power to effect
the result, states that the sentence
of Wiley Rodes, colored, has been

If his conduct continues such as to
merit legal credit fer good time. )"
1t will be remembered that he was
sentepced to the penitenLiary for
killing a negro in the st. Giles no.
tel. The sentiment OF this cOmmu-
nifty has been ever since in favor of
his pardon, or at least a comnuta-
ton, and the action Of the governor
has been in response to the repeat
cd petitions of our best citizens
asking an iRterposition of his elem
cncy, the last Of which and those

The Banners Ill-Tempered Criticism.
Mr.. MoCoRD:-I see in the Nash
vile Banner Of the End of October,
1885, criticism upon the secretary
of the agricultural association of
Giles county by its Pulaski CORES
pondent, signed ]. D. A., with
whom said secretary is well ae-
quainted. Now this correspon-
dent said too much not to have said
more. The secretary did refuse
him the information at the time
called for which he had a right to
do, but Mr.. J. d. A. failed to state
the secretary told him if he would
apply at a proper time, he would
furnish such information as he had,
which he declined to do, and so far
as the secretary of said association
was concerned he took no excep-
tions to his failure to return. Now
if the court understands herself and
her business as she believes, then
Mr.. J. D. A. is more to blame for
his failure in an item for his paper
than the secretary of said associa-
ton. Respectfully,
J. B. STACY. Sec'y.
