The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1885-04-09
Prospect.

ALLOW me to respond to tn
criticism made on an article writer
by Prospects correspondent in tn
18th No. of the CITIZEN by Lynn
ville's most accomplished and ego
tistical writer. l guess l am til,
correspondent meant, as l am thu
only one Prospect has had in sever
al years, still 1 never signed my
name Tableleg and guess Lynn hal
either lost his eyesight or he ha:
never learned how to spell. l ad
wise him to go to school to Prof
Alternately and maybe he could
learn that Tab l-e.l-e-g and IRE b.
Zig does not spell the same thin o,
if his head is not too thick. l ex-
pect he would also learn a little
more about grammar and would not
think that Tableleg ''has done gone
and quit writing" but that Table
leg has quit writing. He would al
so learn when to use set and when
SIT. But enough of that; I simply
say that I deny the charge and ask
the reader to compare what Treblig
wrote in the 18th No. and what
Lynn said Tablelsg wrote in that
No. and you will see whose veracity
should be doubted. I guess all the
readers remember that wonderful
"hog story" of which he wrote one
or two years ago. Who believes it?
Answer: Nobody but him. They
also remember that extensive de
scription OF the New Orleans Expo
sition and several other things that
he has written which we do not be-
lieve all of Now, after telling these
wonderful stories he comes forward
and criticizes your humble cores
pendent, saying that everybody
doubted his veracity that had any
Adam in them. AS to the truth of
what l wrote, l refer him or any
one else to your most worthy eoun-
ty superintendent,;H. G.. Alternately,
whom we all ought to be proud Of.
L think by the time he criticises an
other one and tells another ''hog
story" and writes one more exposi-
ton trip, he had better retire from
the reportorial work, as he will have
entirely lost his credit as a truthful
l am glad he sym
pathizes with me in my troubles in
days gone by and assure him that L
sympathizedwith him when he could
not get any one to believe his ''hog
story" / did not get mad with him
but considered the source. Now,
Lynn and all other correspondents
Of our worthy county paper, am in
hopes that you will continue to
write, as 1 and the people that l
nave represented are always glad to
9eruse your newsy and well gotten
up pieces, and 1 would be glad to
De with you, but it is impossible at
he present, but will commence
again in a year if I should live that
ong. Wishing you Gods speed in
your undertaking [ will bid you
.dieu. People OF Giles and all 9th
II readers of the CITIZEN, I have
erved you for about four years as a
correspondent with the exception of
asst winter when l was off at school.
During the time that l have served
-ou, l have always tried not to
wound any ones feelings and if l
AVE done so [ ask your forgive
less. Sometimes l would get off
oke on come one but did not mean
NY harm by it. Mr.. Editor, when
began to write 1 thought you
Tould hardly notice such writing as
ne Of my age could do, still you
ook me IN and wrote me a very en-
letter that put me in
Ugh spirits and you never did fail
o publish my letters. The CITIZEN
, as dear to me as any thing that l
ave or ever expect to have. [ have
cen a reader of the CITIZEN ever
ince I could read and expect al
rays to read it. Wishing you sue
ess, I bid you adieu. Your hum
lie correspondent, TREBLIG.
