There is material for serious study.
says the Philadelphia Record, in the re
ports of coal consumption. The output OF
the anthracite companies tor eight months
of the present year was 1863 257 tons less
than the production for the corresponding
period of last year. 1t was over 300
600 tons less than the amount sent to mar
ket tor the first eight months of 1888.
There is evidence of II steady decline in
anthracite consumption, while the volume
of the btuminous trade up to this time
has exceeded the output for the same
period of 1884 by 49, tons. The de-
cline in the aggregate consumption of an
thraciie and btuminous Goals is traced by
many to the inactivity of the railroad and
iron interests. but it is probable that the
gigantic combinations of coal carriers
and producers is responsible for most of
the decentralization of the trade and for the
curtaiment of the demand.

Army Worms at Work.

There is a general complaint
among the farmers of Giles that
their crops are being injured by cut
worms. This item will warn them
of more dangerous enemy. At two
different places in the county from
which we have heard the dreaded
army worms have appeared. On
Esq. G. II. Tidwell's place they
deVoured a whole field of young
clover and did other serious dam
age. They did similar work for Mr..
Bryant Peden, sweeping all vegeta-
ton as they came to it. They were
checked in their destructive course.
in both instances, by bitches, which
were already dug or were cut for
that purpose. This seems to be the
only effective means of getting rid
OF them. As is their nature, they
migrate from one place to another
as fast as they can thoroughly de-
stroy the crops, and when they once
fall into ditch cut in their line Of
march they cannot get out and may
be burned, or killed by dragging a
log along the ditch. Or, if more
convenient, as was the case with
Esq. Tidwell, hogs may be put into
the ditch and they will soon kill
them. Farmers may avert great
damage by little watchfulness and
precaution. AS soon as the worms
are discovered surround them with |
bitches.

The Free Schools,

The board of aldermen at it's
meeting last week began the work
of inaugurating the free school sys-
tenn by the election OF Z. W. Ewing,
H. NJ. Grigsby aud Jas. r. Grove
as school commissioners, for one,
two and three years respectively.
The board also fixed the rate OF
taxation at 40 cents, and the salary
of the secretary of the board Of
commissioners at $50 per year.
The board of commissioners met
and organized at once by the cleo
ton of Il. W. Ewing as president
and H. NJ. Grigsby secretary.
They declined the salary offered by
the board. The commissioners have
as yet formulated no plans for &C
ton but are casting about for ideas
and measures to begin with. 1t has
been asserted by those assuming to
knew that 1.-THE board will be
enioined when they attempt to col
lect the tax. The American CORES
pondent SAYS that Judge Ward has
been retained for that purpose. We
have no information either pro or
con, but We are told that such will
probably be the action of about forty
men who will join in filing a bull.
1t is curious to hear that Pulaski
is to be bankrupted by this school
tax. The tax for all purposes this
year is so cents. For the past sew
eral years, except the last, it has
been IS cents. We were not
bankrupted at rs and the people
never murmured once and did not
even seem to know that they were
being bankrupted and plundered.
Now it is barely cents more, and
murmurings are heard, our town is
doomed, desolation is upon US and
starvation threatens.
If five cent tax will bankrupt
US, then we have so little that our
loss will be inappreciable and of nc
consequence.
If five cents is the measure of oul
appreciation of the inestimable ad

Mr.. R. Van Brown and Miss AID
die Bledsos were msrI. ,c~ nv Rev.
w. Weakley at the residence of the
brides father, Mr.. j. P. Bledsoe,
in Pulaski on last Thursday eve
ming at o'clock. 1t was quiet
marriage, witnessed by only q few
invited guests. While it was an
event not unexpected, for there
have existed for a long time unmis-
taxable indications, yet the day of
the occurrence had been kept quite
secret until about Thursday
morning, when a good many of the
deveut young christians began to
try to make their arrangements to
attend prayer meeting that night.
These were disappointed. For
months and months the lovers loved
and wooed, and hope pictured a
future that made them happy,
cheerful and bright, but apart their
hearts Bled-so they both became
Brown. We add to our congratu-
lation wish that they may never
become blue.

A MAGNIFICENT Horse.

One OF the finest horses that ev-
er pressed dirt in Pulaski was ex-
bibited here last Monday to the
great admiration of the public.
johnson Denmark is the property
of Jno. w. Fry and D. B. Garrett,
near Lynnville. They bought him
recently from the Mooresville coun-
try whence the finest horses ema-
nate. He is one of the most pc werfui-
ly built, symmetric, evenly balanced
horses we ever saw. He is adyer-
tlsed in another column, to which
we refer the reader for full pedi-
gree and description. At the fall
colt show at Moeresville, the finest
colt shows perhaps in the world,
Denmark showed forty of the finest.
The description given in the adver-
tisement does him faint justice.
Breeders with fine mares would do
well to go and see this horse.

Yantages proposed to be given our
children, then we are unworthy of
such blessing.
We cannot believe that the oppo-
sition is serious. We cannot mag
inc how any sensible person can
fail to see that the Inauguration of
a free school will be of untold ad
vantage to Pulaski. We heard men
talking last Monday OF moving to
town to get advantage of the
schools. If we get the schools our
many vacant houses will be tenant
ed at once and oAers built to &C
commodate the influx of people.
This will be the inevitable result if
the schools are started and main
tanned upon an efficient basis
We warn the commissioners now
that if they begin by adopting any
halfway, inefficient, cheap measures,
it will affect and cripple the system
for years. Begin well and keep up
better.
The commissioners are casting
about for a live, energetic, teacher
of business push to take the super
intendency. It will require an ex-
ira mana man of business traits
who has been successful in his own
affairs. Who is be?
