The recent freezes are damag-

Moving has been general for
ths last month or six weeks with
tenants but l believe they are about
all settled now for the year and
will begin preparations far farming

"A, j. Williams has moved to
our neighborhood and will take
charge of the school at Cedar
Grove, and will doubtless build up
a good school here, as he is well
qualified and universally liked
throughout the entire neighbor-
hood. We wish him aspeedy re-
covery from measles.
Notwithstanding the inclemen-
cy OF the weather last week, marry
ing was on a boom with US. We
had three weddings and are expect

with another couple just across the
way. 1 didn't say who it was, G.
J. The marriages of last week
were: Mr.. F. A. Fogg and Miss
Della Fogg, at the residence of the
brides father, Mr.. Thos. A. Fogg,
on the 18th inst; Mr.. Robt. w. Will
liams and Miss Jennie Wilkerson at

The stove pipe set fire to the up

Monday morning. Mr.. Sumpter

Look Out!
Pulaskians tremble when fire is
mentioned.
1t is only a question of time
when Pulaski people will lose
enough in one fire to pay for water
works twice. And yet we think we

While the zeal and ability of our
preachers cannot be questioned,
there has been no religious reVlvals
in Pulaski for a long time. The
doctors in divine matters say, and
we doubt it not, that it is much
needed. OF course there have been
occasional additions to the member
ship of all the churches, but what
they are preaching, praying and
working for now is genuine revi-
val-an awakening of the zeal of
the flock and gathering into the
fold. 1t is hoped that the present
united effort will accomplish this
grand result,

Rev. D. L. Wilson preached in the
Methodist church Sunday night to
a large congregation. His subject
was Gods long suffering and for
bearance. The sermon was an able
one and was listened to with mark
ed interest. 1t had been agreed to
hold a union service Of all denomi-
nations and there was preaching at
no ether church. Rev. Mr.. Beck
announced at the close of the servi-
ces that there would be preaching
at the Cumberland church on the
night following and earnestly invit-

More Misfortune for the L & N.

More Misfortune for the l. q N.
Another misfortune to the L. d.
N. comes in the form Of breach in
the road at the State Line. Last
Sunday night about fifty feet of the
track, together with the large en-
bankment upon which it was laid,
was flooded and washed away.
Trains were detained for q few
hours and one load of passengers
and baggage had to be transferred.
The road was temporarily fixed s.
that trains running slowly passed
over 1t the next day, but it will re-
quire some time to repair the dam
age to the road. A culvert was
stopped up by trash and-Ss mud
and large body of damned Water

When the CITIZEN went to press
lsst week there was no privilege
tax on merchants in Giles. The
sun never stood still but once and
merchants were never from under
a privilege tax but this one time.
For the space of Is hours, 81 min
utes and 81 seconds the wheels of
the privilege juggernaut, that had
beea rolling remorselessly and
ceaseiessly since Tennessee was
ushered into the sisterhood OF
states, stood still upon their axles.
The tax was taken off Wednesday
evening by the county court. The
news spread like cholera all over
the county and men we're busy all
night roofing in all the fence cor
ners to start stores. Next morning
the honorable county court yawned
and put the privileges back again.
And now the legislature is beseiged
from all quarters to lessen the taxes
on merchants. 1t is unequal and
burdensome. They are taxed twice.
But then they add it on the cost of
the goods the magistrates buy and
thus get even at last.
