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

her future are being written in real
characters of wood and stone uron
the landscape that year ago was
bleak cotton field. Men are forced
to exclaim: .'Behold how wisely
Mai. Gordon has builded." Men
with less nerve trembled for him,
and dissuaded, him, but his eagle eye
saw into the future and his cspa-
BILE judgement measured the sur
roundings and he rushed in where
brave men dared not tread.
Behold the result!
Behold what is coming!
When that illustrious day shall
come and all her glories shine, clad
in imperial robes Decatur will lead
the van Of the Industrial cities of
the south and all the country
round about shall blossom as the
rose. There is where Pulaski and
Giles county come in for their share.
It behooves every one of US to help
hasten the great event that we may
find in the hordes of hungry peo-
pie that throng her marts and work
her trades consumers of our product
and pensioners upon our plenty.
The.man who doubts the final out
come now, if he investigates, is an
idiot. If you doubt these appa-
rently glowing speculations, you'd
better go down there and see. No
man dares to hazard his sanity by
disputing them after he has been to
see.
Go see the hundreds of houses
going up like as if Aladdin had
passed through the night before
with his wonderful lamp. Go see
the frowning walls of factories and
furnaces and mills that tell of mil
lions invested. See the rush all
around and the hundreds of men
who are betting their last cent and
their last strength GU the result and
then let him dispute it.
Let every man be his iown Judge.
We do our duty in an effort to has
| ten a consummation that has so
much of promise in tor our people.
