The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1886-02-25


postmaster. 1t may be so now, but
we are reliably assured that several
OF the removed postmasters were
savage.
Georgia seems to have corner on
SIS. Her three SIS had 8 big run
and now her two SIS are ripping
public interest up the back. Her
two Samists have commenced to
deodorize Chicago.
FItz John Porter's vindicatiou
struck the country with dull thud.
Interest was worked up to intensest
pitch to find at the announcement
that it didn't care tinker. The
Union wouldn't stand q dull thud
from any other source.
1t is said that Mr.. Beecher will
soon retire frOm the ring. Since
Sam Jones captured the belt and
Dixie Williams went scudding of
to the golden strand with the pen
nant. the older divines find their
gate receipts dwindling.
Ohio men never get lert-until
now They are little behind in
the recently adopted style of states
men to drop dead. Sne might re-
deem herself and improve things
generally if.she could prevail upon
Mr.. Halstead to follow the fash
ion-or Johnnie Mclean.
When Mr.. Morrison confesses
that his horizontal bill was = blum
der by introducing another kind of
tarin1 hhairpin, can he blame the
country for thinking perkins, he has
blundered again. William ought to
be detailed for lighter work-say
chairman of theispittOon committee.
The democratic party in Tennes-
see is sp'ilin' for the republicans to
trot out something to hit. We've
arranged all internal matters, and
the party has trained for a hard hit.
The esteemed idiots are warned
that the longer they delay present
ing something to hit the harder
they'll get hit.
A Union subscriber at Fayette-
vile begs US to continue his paper
until his hens lay. If the man had
net given his name as Smith we
should say he was a rooster. When
the business manager was asked if
he would send the paper on this
unlaid promise he responded, HWell,
1 should oack-.p It vas too much.
The baseball editor knocked him
out and he was carried out by q
syndicate of brother lunatics.
How did the Bell ringers get Mr..
Garland's private letter to S. S.
Cox and A. S Hewitt? 1t necessa-
rily comes through some surrepti-
tious channel. If. Mr.. Cox fur
nished it he evidently accepted a
bleck Of Auency on the other side.
When the Sun publishes it it pub
fishes the fact of its inside relation
with the Bells, and that the fight is
not for decency and democracy, but
for spite or peIf.
Seeing a cigarette dragging a
sickly youth along the sidewalk
last night from a saloon to a bill
lard hall, we wondered if there
would be able hands to take the
helm when the wise and SUCCESSFUL
men of to-day let loose. They are
dropping all around us-Grant,
Hendricks, Mcclellan, Hancock,
Seymour, Cough and Watterson at
the verge, What vacancy is left
Can these pale faced, soft-brained
boys who have dwarfed themselves
with the poisonous cigarette, who
debauch themselves with whisky
and waste their time shooting balls
can these hair-brains ever fill
their places? There are scores of
noble, handsome, promising boys
right here in Nashville making MIN
MES of themselves and paralyzing
their energies in these foolish ex-
cesses. We are not on . reform
rampage, but seeing these great
men dropping away fast and faster
reminds us of the great opportuni-
ties opening. Your country needs
you, boys.-Union.
