ASPEN HILL.

Well, Mr.. Editor, 1 am glad to
inform you that our neighborhood
is becoming more interesting.
Since my last, Mr.. Thomas F.
Webb, of Leatherwood, accompa-
MED by en- officer, came down and
arrested % Miss Kittie Hardeman
and took her off in open daylight,
and I haven't heard Of her since.
Our young gentlemen don't like
such eneroachments as this, espe
cially our young blacksmith.
On the Both ult., at ESQ. Reeds,
I had the pleasure of seeing Mr..
ROLAND Caufman and Miss NJ. E.
Bell approach the hymenial altar
and sign the lifelong pledge. The
happy pair have since been rolling
around among friends and relations.
Mr.. r. H. Ragsdale returned from
Louisville a few days ago, whittier
he went with a car load of stock.
This is the fifth load he has taken to
that city this fall. He is one of our
enterprising citizens, and I think
his example is worthy of imitation.
A new saloon has just been
opened in our village, and the pro-
prietor, Mr.. j. NJ. Dickson, is as
humorous and obliging as ever.
He is now prepared to heat a man
inside and out.
On last Saturday we had a public
auction at the store of Strong &
Browning. Mr.. G. f. Butler, the
administrator of Browning, decd,
is trying to close out the business.
There was a splendid crowd out,
but the goods went off very slowly.
1t will take another day to get
through with the entire stock.
Mr.. J. P. May, Jr., was on hand,
and from the purchases he made a
man would suppose he had some
idea of housekeeping.
A short time ago a negro woman
living in the village took a fit, to
which she was accustomed, and fell
in the fire and was horribly burned
literally crisping one hand and a
part of her body. She lived but s
day or two.
Rev. J. F. Lackey has been a Wis
itor in the neighborhood during the
past week.
DR.. G. D. Butler purchased s
bread-tray st the auction. What
does that indicate? Mr.. D. f
Browning, our young blacksmith
has rented a shop and dwelling
house on the Elkton turnpike
That indicates something.

BETHANY.

The family of our friend c. [
/ Stevenson was considerably dis
turbed last Thursday evening b,
the burning of the SCOT in the chin
neg of the family room. The fam
lily was at supper when the fact wa
discovered, and at first was though
to be the house on fire. Fortu
nately no damage was done, as tn,
wind was blowing IN q direction
which carried the sparks from tn,
roof.
On last Sunday night, the 10th
as Prof. Clark and J. L. Cliff, who
are boarding at SIR. A. NJ. Wilson 5
were returning to the residence OF
the above named gentleman from
Mr.. John ". Young's whittier they
had been to supper-as the family
of Mr.. Wilson was away from home
they were met by some one riding
Prof. Clark's horse in the front lot,
when Prof G. demanded a halt and
enquired who it was. No reply be-
ing given, he was again interroga-
ted as to who he was. No response
being given, the Professor fred up
on the rider, who jumped from the
horse and made a speedy escape.
A light was also seen in the room
of Messrs. Clark and Gift about
the same time, but was seen no
more after the shooting. 1t is sup
posed that some one knowing that
the family was absent, had con-
Guided that some money might be
obtained by pillaging the trunks of
Messrs. Clark and Gift. The doors
leading from the exterior of the
building to Prof Clark's room were
all found open but nothing missing.
A great deal of moving is going
on about Bethany at present. Wag-
ons go by nearly every day. Owing
to the dry fall renters have got out
their crops and will be prepared by
the lst of January next to enter
upon the labors of the new year,
provided the war don't interfere be-
fOrehand. Now, Mr.. Editor, if a
war does come up what will we poor
women dO?and especially those who
are now making up their navy blues,
cardinal reds, myrtle greens, DC, in
anticipation of getting married? for
Hunters viii have to get mp their
guns and the various Routes will be
travelled to the battle field. Now,
the fact of the business is Miss
Naomi Tilden is in Bethany '1os0, so
Brigadier-G General Whorton says,
and he has a right to know, for he
selected that name for the baby
little Whorton of course).
We don't hear as much said
about Christmas as we would like
to. Everybody has got marrying
on the brain, and you know this is
no fun to an old gal that can't
marry. We have known four or
five young ladies to be up the coun-
try all the week nearly, fixing up
for the wedding doings, but we
never helped them marry stitch. So
I guess You'll think I'm selfish, but
they never asked my assistance,
and of course the law presumes that
it is a "wygumphigated act to help
when you are not asked. Say,
folks, don't forget US when you
send around your little papers!
Our friend NJ. D., who has been
down with US a day or two this
week, says that the reason women
and mules are so much alike is be-
cause they both kick. Now, when
we conclude that we are a mule or
want to be we expect to call on him
for his splendid pair of ears.

at s o'clock, after lingering and
very painful illness, LUBERTA, infant
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Bert.
Graham, aged 4months and IA days.
About three weeks before its death
the operation of tracheotomy was
performed upon it and for some
time it was hoped it would be sue
cessful, but the seat of the disease
was in the lungs and the operation
only protracted its life and suffer
ings. We feel the greatest sympa-
thy for its grieved parents and

The CARRIERS, Address.

Our faithful carrier boys, who
have not failed single morning
this year to deliver the CITIZEN
promptly to your door, viii be
round on Christmas day with the
most profusely illustrated, unique,
interesting, and really valuable
pamphlet greeting ever presented
to their patrons. They viii expect
a liberal reception. The book viii
contain four illustrated humorous
stories, to-wlt: "How we spent the
Christmas Holidays" with illustra-
tons showing how to perform many
amusing and entertaining tricks and
tableaux for home amusement.
"The Mysterious ledger" with
many side-spIitting carieatures. "a
new Style Of Love Story IN which
Letitia, the lovely, had two suffers.
One was young and wealthy; the
other was old and poor, but desery-
ing. Very comic. Closing with
Mr.. Titbury and his Christmas
Turkey" u most laughable extrava
ganza-profusely illustrated. Al
together, the greeting is a splendid
one, and aside from being the car
rier- bows hone Os reward and de-
pendence for holiday funds, is rich
ly worth any mans silver dollar.
They will accept anything you may
choose to give them for it, though
it only be a quarter. They have to
go through sleet, and snow, and
rain, and sometimes it is exceed
ingly cold, but they never fail or
falter. Is it not worth cent each
week, at least?

A great many of our people, child
rem and grown people, have been
afflicted with a peculiar sore throat
the past week. 1t seems to be con
fined to the muscles and glands
outside and is not thought to be
serious. The greatest inconven
fence is stiff neck and a difficulty
of splitting. When you see a man
attempting to spit and it splutters
out like water sloshing out of a
bung hole, you may bet on his hav-
ing the malady.

A party of COlumbians paid a fly
ingvisit to our beautiful neighboring
town, Pulaski, and came back very
much pleased. They are unstinted
in praise Of the beauty and attract
iveness of the ladies and hospitali-
ty and kindness of the gentlemen.
The town is quite handsomely stu
ated, contains many splendid and
substantial business houses and ell
egant and palatial residences. The
Alamo House, at which they STOP
ped, is well kept, tables supplied
with the best the land affords, and
presided over by clever and accom-
modating gentlemen. Altogether,
Pulaski presents the appearance of
being a town of solid, substantial
wealth, as the people do of being
cultivated and refined. One of tho
most beautiful residences in the
city is that Of Judge II. NJ.
Spofford, who ably represented the
Democrats before the Louisiana
Returning Board, several weeks ago,
and COMPOUNDED and disconnected
the infamous Wells and Anderson
by his searching questions. Pu-
laski is divided into two parts, East
and West-the latter being the bus
mess portion, and the former the
angelic portion. The West End
contains the CITIZEN, one of the
neatest printed and spiciest and
ablest edited of the country week
lies in the State. The Martin Fe-
male College building is very large
and handsome, and is said to be in
a fourishing condition under the
Rev. DIR. Rivers Columbia Herald.

our girls, Just come and get her.

In the Jockey Yard first Monday
was an amusing scence. A cross
roads bully, with just enough ben
zine aboard to make him imagine
he could snatch the man in the
moon baldheaded, was hunting
around for somebody to chaw up.
In the crowd was a pensive looking
youth with a broken legged mule
to swap, who said not much and
had a kind of solemn aspect; and
some wicked fellow whispered to
the bully that the pensive youth
was a Seceder and he might curse
and beat him with impunity. Mr..
bully had heard, with the balance
of US, that it was a part of the Sc
ceder creed to return good for evil
and to always turn the other cheek
to be slapped. He knew then he
had a good thing and he could de-
monstrate his powers on this inno-
cent youth without danger. He ac-
cordingly sidled up to the boy, slap
ped him on the shoulder, jerked him
around and told him to tremble,
for his time had come. He tiptoed
over him, caught him by the ear
and ftowned down upon him with a
wrathful grin, and waited for the
fellows to crowd up around so they
could see the fun and hear the
youths knees knock together-and
while he was waiting he thought
over his crossword vocabulary and
culled the choicest, hottest brands
to shower On the head of the unfor-
tunate fellow, and the crowd had
collected and he had his mouth set
to begin his elegant anathemas, and
he twisted the youths ears as a key
note, when 10 the armament seemed
to open to his view and the ground
to tremble beneath him and he
heard somthing drop. The pensive
youth had struck up with a mighty
heave and took the bully just under
the chin while his tongue was out,
and stretchad him over in a gully.
In ten minutes he slowly opened
his ewes and asked which Wav the
mule and then it slowly dawned
upon him that it was the Seceder
who had kicked. He picked him
self up with grunt and mounted
his horse and in ten minutes more
was slowly going toward home
thinking.

We wish that every business and
professional man in Pulaski would
feel inclined to help sustain a home
paper. We do not claim any mans
patronage as a right; but we do
think there is a sort Of moral obliga-
ton resting upon every good citizen
to patronize and support home en-
terprises. We do not claim to print
the best paper in the world; but
we are more than willing for it to be
compared with any of our country
weeklies. One thing we do know
the better the patronage the better
the paper. Our subscription list
was never better, but there is great
room for improvement yet. Our
merchants and professional men
have been very liberal heretofore,
but this year they have generally
cut down their advertisements, and
some have discontinued them alto
gether. We hope they will recon
slider this suicidal course, and in
1877, lend a helping hand to the
CITIZEN, and help US to make it ev-
en- better than it ever has been.
