The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1888-06-07

Every civil Il strict should have
democratic club. After the nven
tion is over this matter will b
urged upon the people.
The Methodist Sunday schoo
scholars and teachers enjoyed de
lighitul picnic in Mr.. j. B Chil,ler',
grove Friday afternoon. That To-
cali'y was vocal with their merry
voices.
Two of Mr.. Frank Arrows NTH s
neighbors bought gentleman hog
of him last week and started of
with it boxed, one of them in the
front end of the wagon and the other
in the rear watching, and it got out
and was gone a half hour before
they knew it.
The roof Of DR.. C. Alt. Aberna-
thy's kitchen caught fire from the
fiue about IL o'clack Tuesday but it
was fortunately discovered before
flames had made any Roadway and
by using in time a few bockets of
water and tearing off the burning
shingles what promised to be q
damaging con6agration was arrest
ed.
There is to be big horse show
and sale at Bunker Hill Aug. 80.
Stock men are beginning to get
ready and the good house wives of
that goodly country are beginning
to get ready to commence preparing
one of those magnificent picnic feasts
for which they seem to have heav-
eoly gift. 1t will be big day in the
land.
The opera house was so crowded
Thursday night at the closing exer-
cises of the high school that many
who came had to return home for
want of seats or standing room.
The faculty and boarding pupils of
Martin College came down in a
body but being unable to find seats
returned without witnessing the
exercises.
The outlook for farmers in Giles
county is bright at present, though
it cannot be predicted what the
season may bring forth. At present
the prospect for good crops of wheat,
corn, oats, clover, grasses, etc. is
bright, while the greatest abun-
dance of peaches, apples, pears and
Ill kinds of berries May the fond
est hopes of our farmers be real
ICED.
In another place we publish the
program of the State Normal Insti-
ute to be held at Pulaski, com.
nenclng on June Is and continu-
ng one week. All teachers and
others who expect to teach should
not fail to attend these interesting
md instructive exercises. 1t has
been remarked that teachers who
are unwilling to spend one week in
Ibis way helping to organize bet
,er school system in the county and
better prepare themselves for their
work are actually unworthy to be
as teachers.
Capt. D. A. Mcknight showed
is some extraordinary wheat b eads
Friday. They would yield 40 bush
lis, hut these we're picked. He
ooks for 30 bushels, barring rust.
His best wheat is on ground pre-
pared very early, SUBSIDIZED, har-
owed and rolled. He has some put
on ground not 80 we'll prepared
md there is marked difference.
His experience this year furnished
/ fine lesson in wheat culture and
doubtless the farmers association
will get the benefit Of it. The wheat
showed US was put in by Jimmie
g tenant.
The board of mayor and alder
men met in regular session Thurs
lay afternoon. Besides the regu
ar routine of business they decided
% submit the waterworks question
% vote of the people of Pu-
ask on the second Saturday in
July. So much has already been
,aid in these columns both re
GENTLY and in years gone by that it
would seem unnecessary to Say
! word more in favor of the prop
,sition. 1t is now the duty of our
citizens to 60 to work in earnest
and see that the proposition is car
red by an overwhelming vote. Go
