SUR AGAINST AN Ex-CHIEF JUS
TicE OF KENTUcKY.-A suit is pending,
we understand, in the Graves County
Circuit Court, on the part of Mrs. r. X
Williams vs.. Rufus *. Williams, ex-Chief
Justice Of Kentucky. for alimony. The
suit owing to the standing of the parties
sud the nature of the facts involved, at
tracts large attention, and involves u
high degree of feeling and excitement
Judge Williams is extensively known in
The State, and especially in this district.
His wife, Tor former wife, who Is the
plaintiff in the action against him, 10 a
lady of untarnished reputation, we'll con
Heeted, and highly esteemed by every
body. Uuder his marriage with the
plaintiff, large fAmily of sons and
daughters, of highly reputable standing,
grew up, and quite family of grand
children. Some years ago the aX-Chief
Justice, became carried away with Spir-
itualism and spiritual NANTES tations.
After time, his mind seemed to yield to
the Authorizations of The spirits, and a
jury of the county pronounced him dc
ranged, aud he was sent TO the Lunaiic
Asylum at Hopkinsville. He became
possessed of the iufatuation that the
spirits had directed him TO his affinity in
the person of woman-re sideut of Pa
ducah. After being released from the
Asylum. he went TO Utah Territory, and
through the courts there obtained a di-
vorce from his wife-the plaintiff now
sueing him. Returning 10 Kentucky, he
arraigued with his ailedged affinity, to 20
to Mississippi with him, where he was
married to her according to the laws OF
that State. He, at present, IS living in
Paducah, with his affinity" as man and
wife, while the plaintiff and family live
in Mayield. The suit for alimony will
test the legality aud validity of the
Judges Utah divorce; and if that docu
ment fails to protect him. il is said, thai
the ex- Chief Justice is good for term OF
years in the State penitentiary. II ali
the rumors are true, he richly deserves
the fate, though we have only bearsay
about the matter. The most charitable
view of the case is, that he is and has
been crazy all through the whole matter.
The sympathy of the community, accord
ing TO our information, is altogether with
the plaintiff

TO THE PUBLIC.
Our Steam PrintiRg..HOuse.

Having purchased the outfit and.equip-
ments necessary to running our printing
establishment by steam power, together
with some Of the latest improved printing
machinery, we, with satisfaction, an
nounce to our patrons and the general
public, that in a few weeks our new es
adjustment will be in complete running
order. We can then claim, in all truth,
to have one of the best appointed printin g
establishments in the State of Kentucky,
outside the city Of Louisville. We can
then claim, and will do, every character
of job printing equal to any work exc
cuted this side the large cities, and at
quite as liberal figures
The heavy outlay necessary to pos
sesing our Office Of these advantages,
is not warranted by present patronage ;
but our motto is coward, and we hope
to attract additional patronage sufficient
to make the investment profitable The
whole thing is paid for; and we tell our
friends that we are determined to sue
coed, and we are going to SUCCEED. From
the citizens of Hickman-the business
men-we feel some W hat the right TO claim
special encouragement, and that is, tina t
you give us all your work and all your
influence, and send printing abroad.
We ask a cent of no nan-except we give
him value receive; but, we are pushing
eur line of business, and in the doing of
it, we are pushing Hickman and every
interest of the community possible, and
hence feel it not immodest TO make a re
ciprocal claim on Hickman.
From the general public we ask lib
eral share of patronage, on condition our
work proves worthy. Let US go to work
with renewed life, energy, enterprise,
and industry, in all the departments of
Hickman interests, and enlarged and
revivi6ed trade will be the reward. True,
some laEarOni, some selfish croakers, mus [
be carried as dead weight, but it don t
suit the age TO stop on their account. The
matter of trade is an active warfare ali
the time and each of us must be up and
doing. II is as cheap to win, and the
way less hazardous, as it is. lose. So
come on, let's join hands and 'rin.
