The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1888-08-02
BRIEF LOCAL MENTION .

Some of the candidates for coun-
ty offices spoke at the court house
Monday, giving their views upon
the tariff and other important polit-
zeal questions. The first thing HE
CITIZEN reporter heard upon ap'
preaching the assemblage was the
old exploded campaign lie that
Isham G.. Harris, democrat, stole
the sacred school fund of Tennessee
and suuandered it. Every intelli :
gent negro, if he has tried to inform
himself at all, knows that Isham q.
Harris sacredly guarded this school
fund and turned it over to the state
of Tennessee after the war, and
that Brownlow, or the republicans
during his administration, got hold
of that money and spent it for their
own selfish and evil urposes. Mr..
Brownlow's own son exhonorates
Mr.. Harris from all blame IN the
matter.
We Witnessed the closing of Prof.
Bodenheimer's writing school last
Friday morning which had been in
progress two weeks. The Spence
rian method is the one used. We
were shown specimens of penman-
ship by the pupils, both before and
after taking lessons, and the I'M
provement made was marvellous,
even the smallest pupils writing
With the ease and rapidity that
would be wonderful in one who had
been writing for years. Prof. Bo-
denhcimer may be induced to re.
turn next summer.
Although the county election to-
day is not strictly party contest,
we would like to see the full demo-
cratic strength of Giles county poll
ed for its candidates. AS an ex-
change suggests. there is nothing
like success, even in local election,
to strengthen a party and draw ac-
cesslons to its ranks in state and
national politics.
| See that every democrat gets to
the polls to-day. Call by your
neighbours house as you go and if
he is disinclined to 60 to the polls
on account of indifference, stir up
his democracy and point out to him
the danger of letting the county fall
into republican hands. Don't let
him stay away.
Officer Mcdonald arrested a
. drunken tramp on the streets Tues
, day. The fellow, a jolly sort of an
, Irishman, seemed harmless and the
officer kindly walked the gentleman
, outside the corporation limits and
told him to go and sin no more
This was both humane and eco
nomical.
