A Broad. FuIl Invitation,


The language of the invitation tC
the reunion in the CITIZEN last week
was as broad as it could be, we
thought, but some are yet in doubt.
Every man, woman and chilli in
Giles county who was either n SOL
der, a wife, sister, son, daughter,
friend or acquaintance-in short,
EVERYBODY who sympathized with
the south or had a friend in the
army, all the people of Giles are in
vited. All Confederate soldiers in
other counties who care to come
will be most cordially welcomed.
Especially do they expect all sol
diers of the regiments that had a
company from Giles in them. Don't
stand back.
Especially the IadissW Don't hes
itate to come, every mothers daugh-
ter of you. And don't forget to
bring a well filled basket. Some OF
the neighborhoods are going to
send all their victuals to a central
place and bring it all in wagons
together. This will save the troub-
lie of looking after your baskets
here. Pack it all in boxes and haul
it here together.
Arrangements are made to bar
becue any carcasses that may be
contributed. Several are already
subscribed. If you give one you
must have it here next Wednesday.
We make these announcements
by request OF the committeeman
who assembled in Pulaski last Sat
urday. Everything indicates big
day. Let nobody stand back.

The Free School Wins,

Judge Fleming promptly decided
the free school injunction case in ia
vor of the board of aldermen, dis
solving the injunction and sus-
tanning the constitutionality of the
act. The questions decided involve
intricacies aud subtleties not neces-
sary to state. The chancellor re-
quired that the refunding bond
should be personal bond. 1t will
not be made now because it is not
necessary. 1t is thought the case
can be advanced on the supreme
court docket and be tried in De-
cember. Then the tax can be col
lected in time TO begin the school in
January. If the opposition seek
delay, however, the intention is to
10 axe the bond. 1t is not thought
they will interpOse any effort to de-
lay, as it would be entirely captious
and useless. Let the case 90 speed
lily upon its merits and let's all abide
the result ia good faith,

Judge Wards Speech,

Judge Hillary Wards argument
of the free school question before
Chancellor Fleming has elected
more comment perhaps than any
speech delivered by a member of
the Pulaski bar for the last decade
While many agree with the CITIZEN
in opposing the sentiment of his
utterances, all concede that it
was a splendid production and an
adroit and able defence of the posi-
tions taken by the author. In this
speech the judge said almost every
thing that could be said on his side
Of the question, and in the most
beautiful style and forcible terms.
He went to the bottom of things
and made n heroic effort to shake
the mudsills-the. foundations of
the free school laws of the land.
Those who agree with him in senti-
ment are fulsome in their eulogies
upon the argument sand he has re-
ceived numerous letters, some of
them from prominent citizens Of
the state, urging him to have the
speech published. We hope he
will comply with this request, for
its literary merit certainly entities
it to publication. Another reason
why we join in the request is that
those ON the other side want an OPP
pOrtunity of ventilating some of the
ideas advanced by the Judge.

Death Of Tai. r. Morgan.

Mr.. Tai. r. Morgan died on East
Hill last Friday morning at 1925
o'clock. The immo date cause OF
his death was complication OF
lung and bowel troubles, from
which he suffered many months, de
clining slowly from seeming robust
health until he became the mere
shadow of his former self But il
was his belief and the hc.ici Of
some of his friends that the remote
cause of his illness was the poison
from the effect of which he and oth T
members of his household came so
nearly dying se.eral yeir5 ago.
His remains we're skipped 10 his
native city in Indiana fer lntorment,
accompanied from this place by his
orief-strickeu wife and mniter,
Messrs. w. c. and j. G. Jamison, OF
Sullivan, Ind, Mr. q. II. Morgan,
brother of the deceased, and his
sister, Mrs. j. IL. Morr 5.

Esq. T. o. Alternately got letter
from Mrs. w. f. HAYES, Atlanta,
Ga, the mother of the young man
killed by falling from the train Mt
Reynolds station last week. 1t
leaves no doubt of his identity
The letter is characteristic mother
letter-wants to know the least and
all the facts. The fate of the hoy
only 10 years old-is a sad warn
ing to the boys of the country. He
was dissatisfied at home and was
lured away by the tinsel and CLAM
our of the circus ring, and when he
had tasted and found the bitterness
that underlay the pleasing outside
he started to his home and mother
and meets death in its cruelest
form

On last Sunday afternoon there
was held meeting of the wardens
and yestry of the Episcopal church,
presided over by Rev. VIM. G. G..
Thompson, the pastor in charge, at
which meeting steps were taken
for the erection of brick church
building on the front corner of the
rectory let, corner of Third and
Madison streets. The clerk of the
vestry, Mr.. Riddle, was Instructed
to issue to the members a notice of
a congregational meeting to further
consider the matter, to be held in
the present church building on the
afternoon of Sunday, Oct. IIth,
when Rev. Mr.. Thompson will again
be in Pulaski. Under the minis
trations of Revs. Messrs. Thomp-
sonsand Hale this church seems TO
have taken renewed life and we
hope soon to see their new house of
worship completed.

atheist, an infidel, would not only
refute all such charges, but to a
stranger would appear as being a
well delivered sermon from some
able scholarly divine. Each of
these temperance lectures secured
quite a number of disciples who
when thoroughly equipped and organ
lied will, we trust, march out under
their unfurled banners Of temper
ance and dethrons and drive forever

JNO. ID. REYNOLDS.

Another soul has gone to receive it;
reward another name is added to the
innumerable multitude that have crossed
over the river to join the host of the
good and blest on the "Other shore"
Few men had higher appreciation OF
duty than Jno. d. Reynolds, and but
few gave better evidence of that appre-
citation by their walk and conversation
in life. While he was modest and re-
firing in his nature, and aid not court
the favor and applause of men, his pur-
pose seemed always single and fixed to
do what he conceived to be his duty,
and to win the favor of Him who know
eth and doeth all things well, and no
circumstances that surrounded him in
life could ever swerve him from thar
purpose. The writer knew him long
and intimately. He knew him at home
in peace and amid the quiet walks OF
civil life, as well as amid the exciting
and terrible trials and conflicts OF army
life, and in each the current of his lie
moved as gently and quietly on to the
great river, as il the stability of his
peace rested not upon the world, but
alone upon God,
The sad and bleeding hearts of family
and friends that turn away from the
little mound that covers his mortal re-
mains here, may look up with steadfast
hope to the blissful and happy reunion
they shall have with him on the other
shore, if they are true and faithful TO
the God whom he served,
