City Fathers of Pulaski Hold First Meeting of the New Year and Transact Business With
 Great Dispatch

Pulaski, Tenn, January 13.-(Special.)- J. The Age-Herald has always been favor ite raper with many people in this section, as there are quite a number of family connections with present citizens of the Iron City and the doings, business prog ress and everything pertaining to it are watched with interest. Heretofore, up to several months ago, the people here were as a majority satisfied with another morn ing paper, but since many expressions of a wish for something better have been heard all around, and when The Age-Herald concluded to branch out more extensively in this territory, the move was looked upon as a good one for the paper and a welcome one to many of the folks who wanted live, clean. newsy paper that covered the foreign, domestic and local field as it should be covered.
 From expressions voluntarily coming from some of these the verdict must be that The Age-Herald will hold its grip in this community and steadily increase in circulation and influence. The people here are reading class, but care prac- tically nothing, as whole, for the sen
  the policy of Editor Barrett evidenced for many years by the bright and clean pa per given the public are pleased at the situation.
 The matter of train arrangement in the past has initiated against the getting of morning paper from the south here early enough. but by late arrangement this has been obviated and things are more satisfactory.
