Why should not farmers wife be

with Jersey cattle might not be best.
Beef is essential. as well rs sweet, rich
cream and golden butter. But every
neat and good housekeeper wishes to
set before her family and guest the
choicest productions of the farm. No
one who is acquainted with the facts
will deny that the Jersey COW is the
most perfect butter producers in the
world. It's golden color, fine grain
and rich, nutty flavor is unparalleled.
Then why should our farmers be care>
full TO feed their fine stock the sweetest
hay and sound corn, and deny them.
selves, their wives and children the
best article of diet within their reach
speak from experience. Put three
or four hundred dollars into real
good regeristered Jersey COW and see
if she don't make twice as much on
the amount invested, If you want to
make your married daughter present
that will help on most, send her nice
jersey COW or heifer calf. Then lei

Women in Texas.

WOman's Journal.
There are q great many handsome
men in Texas. The free, outdoor life,
with much horseback riding, gives
them good forms, clear eyes and com
plexions. There is great deal of
native intelligence and good thinking.
The women among the well>todo
classes appear to live mostly indoors.
Even in cities very few are seen on the
street or in the stores. They are not
as often rosy checked as the men, but
much oftener powdered Living with
doors and windows open IA large part
of the year, and in houses all the year
that let in the air on every side, it
seems strange that they do not look
fresher. At one place, where the rail-
road missed the town mile, and all
the stores had been taken to the depot,
we asked how they got to the stores
through the mud.
"Oh, we never go; the men go on
horseback, and they do the buying"
So it is not uncommon to see men
buying dress goods, stockings, and
other articles for woman's wear.
Good help is scarce, and the women
usually do the housekeeping in a few
rooms, everyone of which has one or
more beds in it. Their timidity is SO
great that they object to two-story
houses because the wind blows" For
recreation many dip snuff and read
stories. Among the poorer classes
women work in the fields at cotton
raising. Hoeng and picking are done
by hand, and what one man can plant
and pillow several hands are required tc
hoe and pick. But raising cotton i:
clean farm work. There are no briar'
to scratch, nor juice to stain the hands
The STOPPING is tiresome, but less thar

The Injunction Dissolved,

Chancellor Fleming dissolved the
Injunction in the case of the tax
PAYERS vs.. the School Board in his
decree at Chambers. The case will
be tried OF It's merits at the Sep
TENDER term of the chancery court.
There are thirty eight complainants
in the bill and the chancellor di-
reefs that the Clerk and Master
shall ascertain what amount Of tag
es they pay to the corporation. 1t
is estimated that they paid about
$3.50 last year. The decree requires
that the board of mayor and alder
men shall give bond IN double the
amount of taxes assessed against
the compliments before collecting.
As yet there has been no meeting
of the board and hence no action
has been taken. For this reason
Maj. Stacy, c. d M, has not ascer-
tanned what shall be the amount of
the bond. If the board decides to
proceed with the collection of the
taxes then the amount will be nam
ed and the bond required. 1t is
doubtful what will be the action of
the city authorities. They may de-
eide to let the matter rest until after
the final decree in September.
Every citizen of Pulaski is inter
ested in the final decision of this
case, for upon the issue hinges, in
our opinion, the prosperity or the
continued slothe OF the town. We
believe that nothing would tend
more to the upbuilding of the inter
ests of the people of Pulaski than
the establishment of public schools,
and that no class of citizens would
be more greatly benefited than the
property owners. Because we be-
lieve when the schools shall be es
tablished there will be such an in.
crease of population and demand
for houses as will produce a healthy
and steady increase In the value Of
real estate. This is certainly rea.
sonable, and the reasons for oul
opinion are substantiated by vel
known facts in the history of towns
and cities that have adopted sys
TENS of schools similar to that pro
vided for in our new law. 1t is not
proposed as a mere experiment 1
has been tried and proved success
full both as an enterprise and an ed
vocational scheme. We haven't 90
to 60 far from home to find exam
piles either. Columbia and Nash
vile may be mentioned as such, anC
the warmest supporters of the pub
lie school system in these cities ar,
those who opposed its establish
ment most bitterly. Such will b
the case in Pulaski, we doubt not, /
the new law is not defeated.

Our Editor-Oarpenter,

Maj. Stacy returned Monday
from Elkmont. He brings a seri-
Gus charge against the editor of the
CITIZEN. This gentleman, the edi-
tor, who handles the pen with such
dexterity and power as to make his
paper one of the very best weeklies
published in the south, boasts that
he is natural mechanic and that
his ability and accomplishments
in this direction are not confined to
mechanical work in the art pre-
servative of art, but that he is
equally as familiar with carpenter s
implements, Well, at EIkmont,
about his new cottage, the Major
says, he had an opportunity to
spread himself, and he did it. He
drove all the nails without MASKING
his editorial finger and succeeded
admirably until a demand was
made upon his architectural skill
for chicken coop, and even with
this structure he progressed pretty
well till it was done all but the
roof. Here was an intricate problem
The editor-carpenter had a solu-
ton, however. He began work as
he does in setting an ornamental
title page of a book-at the top.
He made a beautiful comb and fas-
tened the rest of the boards to it.
It'll be all right in that day when
the first shall be last and the last

Struck by Lightning,

Almost everybody in town was
startled last Sunday afternoon at
about 4 o'clock by very vivid fash
of lightning and loud peal of thun-
der. Some felt partially shocked,
one young man said he thought he
was "struck by thunder and light
ming" and all feared at the time
that some damage must have been
done in town. The telephone wires
were heavily charged. 1t was soon
ascertained that Mr.. NJ. c. Camo-
dy's residence on Washington street
had been struck in two places. One
OF the gables was struck and a mum
Der of shingles were torn off, and at
the other end of theshouse about the
foundation some slight damage was
done. Inside of the house the ali
was so laden with a birthstone odor
as to be almost suffocating. The
damage amounted to but little.

Rev. D. L. Wilson's RESIGNATION.

Rev. D. L. Wilson, minister in
charge of the Presbyterian church
at this place, has resigned. His
reason for doing so is his ill health.
The resignation was sent to the
session of the church but has not
vet been accepted. These officers
hope to pursuade him to re-consid
er his action. They have not only
offered him an increase of salary as
an inducement, but argue in addi
ton to allow him a two months
summer vacation, and all the time
he needs during the year for recrea-
ton. Mr.. Wilson has the matter
under Amusement. 1t is the earn
est desire, not only of the entire
membership of his church, but of
all the citizens of the city that he
may decide to accept the liberal
proposition. Pulaski can i'll afford
to give him up.
