PROHIBITION.
Giles County Temperance Alliance
Organized.

Pursuant to a call published il
the CITIZEN there was a mass meet
ing held in the Opera House last
Tuesday night for the purpose oil
organizing the Giles County Ten
perance Alliance, an auxiliary to
Tennessee State Temperance ALI
ance, recently organized at Nash
vile.
Maj. 7. N. n. Jones, member OF
the state executive committee for
the 7th district, called the meeting
to order and in g neat, earnest
speech stated the objects.
Rev. D. L. Wilson was elected
temporary chairman and r. c..
Hansell temporary secretary.
Hon. 10. H. Russell, president
OF the State Temperance Alliance,
was present and explained the OBJ
jects of and workings of the organi-
cation. AS for the object, it requir-
ed but a few words to tell it. 1t is,
as stated in the constitution OF the
organization, "to secure by all law
full means the prohibition OF
the manufacture, sale and use
of all spirits, vinous, malt,
and other alcoholic liquors as bey-
erage in this state, and the creation
and maintenance of sound public
sentiment on the question Of tenn
perance." The speaker stated in
an eloquent manner the means by
which this end was expected to be
attained and gave some very en-
couraging reports of similar organ
izations in different portions of the
state. After his explanation, Dr.
W. E. Wilson, Messrs. W. r. Craig,
c.. A. Kirksey and G. G. Anderson
were appointed committee to pass
through the audience and get the
names OF such persons present az
desired to become members of the
organization by signing the consti-
tuition. The result of the
work of this committee was
very encouraging, 81 persons giving
their names as members.
Maj. L. NJ. n. Jones, DR.. w. E.
Wilson, Rev. w. Weakley, Ar. G.
Osborn, and Mr.. Milton Carter, jr.,
were appointed a committee on per
manent organization, after whose re-
port the organization was effected by
the election of the following officers
DR.. G. G. Alternately, president; Mr.
Z. w. Ewing and Capt. Jno. G. Les
ter, vice presidents; Mr.. j. P.
secretary and treasurer.
The president, elect, not being
present, Capt. Lester was called to
the chair and in a short speech |
said some good things for the tenn
perance cause. He was glad the |
time had come when every person
in the state must take a position Ell
Their for or against the cause by 3
vote at the ballot box.
The executive COMMITTEES was
then appointed as follows: W. r.
Craig, Jas. r. Grove, j. H. Morris,
W. I. Mann, F. Arrowsmith and
W. E. Wilson. The president and
secretary are by virtue of their of
ices members of this committee.

Mr.. Robt. Madden, whose ex-
IRENE illness at Huntsville was
mentioned in the last CITIZEN, died
in that city at the residence of his
father-in-law, Mr.. Frank Mcbride,

O'Clock, of consumption, aged 81
years. The fearful disease in his

reaching it's fatal elimination. He
took sick in October and about a
month ago went to Huntsville hop
ing that a change would prove
beneficial, but in vain. His re-
mains were brought to Pulaski for
internent and were buried at Ma
plewood last Saturday. He was q
member of the Cumberland church
and his burial services were CON
Quoted by Rev. w. w. Beck. He
has a wife and little child to mourn

Fire at Aspen Hill,

Last Thursday morning just after
midnight the people at Aspen Hill
were aroused by a loud explosion
and ran out to see the flames burst
ing from w. I. Tally's store. The
explosion was Immediately followed
by another and louder one and. the
house was completely wrapped in
flames before any effort could be
made. The house was occupied by
W. I. Tally, dry goods and groce
rles, from which nothing was rescu-
ed. The goods were recently in
voiced and were worth about S3IOO
with $4,000 insurance. The house
belonged to DR.. j. z. Butler and
was worth $500 and no insurance
The adjoining house was occupied
by DR.. H. T. Butler who lost 500
worth of drugs besides other Office
furniture. The building belonged
to DIR. @. d. Butler, was worth $3.50
and not insured. The next house
was an unOcGupied storehouse he
longing to |. n. Howard, worth 800
and not insured. This comprised
the loss. 1t is thought some one
set the house aire and suspicion
rests upon a negro but no proof is
obtainable.

Sunday was beautiful day and
the audiences at all the churches
were unusually large. At night
there was preaching nowhere but at
the Presbyterian church and the
house was crowded. This union ser
vice was held with the intention TO
continue the meetings if the sinners
should manifest any disposition to
flee from the wrath TO come, but
there being no outward show Of re-
pentence, no appointment was made
for the next night. Rev. Mr.. Will
sons sermon was followed by an
exhortation by Rev. Mr.. Weakley.

The citizens who allowed them
selves gulled and robbed by the
sharper on the street last Monday
deserve no sympathy. Another
man played the same thieving
trick here a few months ago and
the people ought to have been on
their guard this time. The author
tiles deserve censure for not arrest
in the fellow. He fed to Wales to
take the train, knowing he deserved
to be mobbed. 1t is a shame that
the authorities issue license to
strangers to rob the people.

Proposition to Stock Richland.

CYRUsTON, Tenn, April. Z. 1885.
Mr.. L. d. MCCoRD:-DEAR SIR:
l abandoned the carp II months
ago and procured the speckled cat,
and am well pleased with the
change; net, however, because the
carp are net a good fish, but be-
cause the speckied cat are a better
one. The speckled cat is native
of Georgia, is a river as well as
pond fish. Prof. Baird says they
are found no where on the globe
but In a river ia Middle Western
Georgia. l procured dozen spec
linens II months ago, paying a dol
lar each. They have grown very
fast, and have increased in number
astonishiHgly. They spawn twice
a year, June and October. Ny OBJ
ject in writing is to make a propo-
sal to stock Richland with them.
l will have six or eight thousand
to spare and will take at the pond
five dollars per thousand, or will
place them in Richland at that
price, expenses added. II the coun-
ty will not make the investment.
perhaps some of your public spirit
ed citizens would contribute for
that purpose. l will not sell them
at that price to stock ponds. As
the weather is growing warm, this
cannot remain open long.
W. L. MooREs.
We have never heard Of this fish,
but DR.. Moore, is a practical and
sensible man and his word can be-
relied on. Our streams are too poor
ly protected from SEEMING and other
heathenish ways of destroying fish
to spend much money stocking
them. Can we find 40 men who
will give a dollar each to buy
these fish and place them in above
Dishonghn's dam? Here's dollar.
Fishermen, bring your dollars to
this office. If we don't get enough
we'll return yours.
