Blessings Come Sometimes When
We Least Expect Them.

The condition Of the fund appropriated
for the poor of Detroit for the current
year, and which was intended would be
sufficient TO meet all demands for which
the appropriation was made, has been en-
tirely exhausted, and the outlook for the
approaching cold season ESQ far al the un-
fortunate poor are interested) Is anything
but cheerful. Work for the laboring
classes In Detroit during the past summer
and fall has been unusually scarce, SO
that with frugal management, that most
useful class OF our citizens have been un-
able to clothe themselves with comfort
able garments to protect them from the
figid blasts of winter. The necessary
means with which to purchase fuel, food,
and clothing for the poor Of Detroit must
be raised; they cannot be left to suffer
and left out in the cold. 1t has been sug-
gested that movement at once be made
for the raising Of funds to meet present
exigencies until the city authorities move
in the matter. Why would It not be a
good idea to raise two or three thousand
dollars and appropriate the same to the
purchase of Mems, Youths, and Boys
Clothing at the great Assignee Sale, ut 76
Woodward avenue, where Mr.. Smith Is
selling this line ofgoods at 65c on the dol
lar. Let some philanthropic individual
inaugurate the movement, and depend
upon it, Mr.. Smith will do the thing that
Is right.
By the way, we would suggest the great
sale as the place for the people to go and
get clothing.

CURRENT TOPICS

The annual report to the department
shows that in the last fiscal year 1925
pOstOffices have been established and
1853 discontinued, making an increase
of 961 over offices established in the
previous year. The whole number of
officers employed under the department
is SO 900. There are S3 free delivery
offices and 2,265 letter-carriers in the
United States.
The litigation in regard to the pro-
posed tunnel under the Hudson river
has been ended by a compromise, and
work will now be resumed. 1t Is ex-
pected that passengers will be able to
go from Jersey City to New York
through the tunnel in two minutes.
A decision of much interest to the
gambling fraternity hasjust been made
In New York. A stranger was recent
ly enticed into gambling den in that
city and fieeced, and the district attor-
ney, having found by experience that
conviction on the charge of swindling
was almost impossible, indicted the
men for larceny. 1t was cOntended
that there could be no larceny in the
case, as the victim gave up his money
voluntarily; but the Judge charged for
conviction, and the jury brought in a
verdict ofguilty. The case was prompt
ly taken to the court of appeals, which
has now confirmed the decision of the
lower court.
The annual report of Commissioner
Williamson of the land office says that
the sales of public lands for cash have
been about 100, 900 acres In excess of
those of the previous fiscal year, while
the number entered under the home
stead and timber-culture laws was
1856, ,l23 acres less; certified for railroad
purposes, 7OO,791 acres, decrease of
300, 1856 acres; entered under the provis-
ions of the mining laws, IA, l03; patent
ed 13 .244; total disposals of public lands
under existing laws, 4,7SS, ,2A acres,
less by ], 1,736, 101 acres than in 1875.
The supreme court has rendered
decision of interest to the travelling
public. An Ohio man was elected
from Lake Shore train for refusing
to pay over three cents per mile-the
rate fixed by the law of the state; he
brought suit for damages, obtained a
verdict in the lower court, which the
Ohio supreme court affirmed, and the
United States supreme court now in
dOrses.

The debate In the French Chamber
| OF Deputies, upon M. Greyy's motion
for q Committee of Inquiry into the
McMahon ministry In onnection with
the late election was very spirited and
even angry In tone. The Duke de
BrOglie made long speech, In which
he plainly intimated that President
MacMahon would not take q Ministry
from the Left, nor would the govern
ment submit to the proposed electoral
inquiry. He said that when the pres
ent government had fulfilled its task
of answering the attacks ~ the Left,
the Marshal would see wLaL " do ill.,
cumbent upon him. III he could be
assured that MinistryScontaining M.
Blanc and M. Renault, extreme radi-l
Cal and conservative Republicans, re-
spectively, would agree upon pro-
gramme, q path Of parliamentary pro-
cedure would be open. If not, 1t would
be necessary to seek some. other solu-
ton. He further declared that the
Government were ready to accept
even penal servitude for their acts, and
meet the proposed impeachment, but
warned the new committee of public
safety that neither the present Cabinet
nor Its successors, If they had any re-
gard for public peace, would c0unten-
ance the proposal for One-aided In.
quiry. He accused the Left of intimi-
dation and fraud during the elections,
and especially accused them of spread
ing the assertion that Conservative
victory meant war. He provoked q
protest from Gambetta by fnsinuatings
that the latter caused the insertion OF
this calumy in German and other for
eign papers. He warned those who
appeared to appeal to insurrection
that 1t would be suppressed, and that,
even If successful, its success might be
transient.
M. Gambetta characterized the Due
de Broglie's speech as able, but perfid-
iOus. He said it formed the best argu-
ment for an inquiry, as it showed stub
bOrnness and resistance to the will of
the country. The insinuation that the
Left gained a majority by misrepre-
sentatiou was liz. The government
was guilty of malversation. It had
gained 40 seats by fraud and robbery.
He denied that the first inquiry was
illegal. He professed the desire to up
hold the authority Of both Chambers.
He was not an antagonist Of Marshal
MacMahon. The present Ministers
were insurgents against the law. He
finally declared that it would be a
serious matter to place the Senate
above universal suffrage. If the Sen
ate arrogated the right of decreeing a
second dissolution 1t wouldlbe verit-
able reactionary convention. After
much violent personality, a vote was
taken. M. Grevy's motion was adopt
ed by 32O yeas, against 2O3 nays.

less forgotten the title and situa
tion Of our small village, as you
seldom hear from this section. We
are glad to say present times find
us well, both in the working line
and society. There are many visi-
tors rusticating among our rural
hills; strange to say, more than has
been for some years past. We have
quite q nice and interesting little
village and still improving. Farm
ers are at present taking their rest,
waiting and watching for the golden
tints of autumn to bring back the
laboring day. The villa is in quite
a lively mood, owing to the number
of gifted visitors and entertain
ments of all kinds. Miss Addie j.,
sister to Miss Anna is visiting
relatives at Long Branch.

AS we have not been mentioned
lately, if you will allow me a place
in your valuable paper shall at
tempt to write to you occasionally.
l wish TO say to the public that 1
am no writer, and shall only try to
itemize the few little occurrences of
this place. We are away up here
close to the bushes, but glad to say
that we are blessed with the pros
pect of a good corn crop, and cot
ton is looking much better than
was expected. The health of our
neighborhood has not been so good
for the last few weeks. Mr.. w. r.
Owens has been confined with fever,
but we are glad to say he is again
able to be on the streets. Mr.. John
Hannah died last Tuesday. He
was born, raised, and lived his life
out in this community. He was 81
years of age, leaving this neighbor
hood without an enemy-lived a
strictly moral life, was a good citi-
zen and a good neighbor. He
leaves a wife and two sons to mourn
his loss, to whom we tender our
heart felt sympathy in their sad be
reavement. We are happy to note
the appearance of our highly es
teemed citizen, James r. Campbell,
who is once more able to be in our
midst. He has been confined for
several weeks with rheumatic pains
Of the most severe character. We
have a good school here with a spleD-
did attendance of number and regu-
larity. 1t is conducted under the
supervision of Rev. J. c. Mckenzie
and lady, who are highly qualified
for the school-room. Our protract-
ed meeting ended here some ten
days ago, which resulted in several
professions and some accessions to
the church. Those who wish bap-
tism will be attended to-day by Rev.
Jno. +. Walker. We are glad to
see that some spirit Of improvement

James Reddick is erecting a large
and commodious black smith shop,
which adds greatly to the appear
ance OF the town. Major. Dick
Williamson and Mr.. Sheriff.. invad-
ed our village this week, the rear Of

that irresistible Smith. But we
are sorry to say that they made no
sales, owing to the gloom cast over
our community by the death of our
good citizen. HoS. DARLIN.

Permanent Primary School.

The second month of Miss Sallie
Shapard's school begins on Monday
next. 1t would be well for all who
intend sending their children, to en-
ter them at the beginning of the
new month. 1t is Miss Sallie's in
tention to establish a PERMANENT
PRIMARY School where little chill
dren will be thoroughly prepared
for the higher schools. People who
know the advantage children gain
bycontinuing with the same teacher,
will readily see that it is to their
interest to encourage snch a school.
She will be thankful for all patron
age and as there is no public school
in this district this fall, she hopes
to have a full school next month.

Aspen Hill.

AS 1 am more than willing to
share the honors 90 of correspon-
dent from this place with my friend
Observator, l will take it in turn
with him and venture to make few
remarks this week. | am always
pleased to read his interesting let
ters. The protracted meeting that
was being conducted here at the
NJ. E. Church last week by the Rev.
Mr.. Pagan broke up Tuesday night
on account of the rainy weather.
One of our Pulaski friends and
his lady came down on a flying trip
last week and went back on the eve
ming train. was asked by a great
many who he was, and / told them
that he was a friend of mine from
Pulaski, and that he was the life OF
that city-could get off more real
square laughs, say more and receive
and dispatch more kilograms than
any man in the State. Come down
and see us again, Mr.. Glib.
The Misses Tapp of Louisville
are now the guests of DIR. L. b.
Harwell. / understand they intend
leaving us for their home this week.
The young men of this neighbor-
hood say that if they could just in .
duce them to stay they would be
happy.
Some one has been asking what
our city took its name from. There
once was a large Aspen tree that
stood in the yard at Mr.. John l.
Buffers (who died many years
ago), under which old men of for
mer days would congregate and cat
melons and talk of such men as
Clay, Jackson, Washington and
others, and then and there our city
took its name. 1t is beautifully
located, and the picturesque scenery
which surrounds it makes it very
attractive. The extensive valleys
both above and below abound every
year in a large yield of produce,
while Richland GIBBS her waters
both north and east of us, and the
O.. 5. railroad passes through the
center of the town, making it a
very desirable place to live.
MI. A. +. Marks and family and
our townsmaR, G.. +. Butler, re-
turned from Wooley Springs last
week. Mr.. Butler says he did not
90 over to Elkmont Springs during
the lawyers dance there, and was
glad he did not, for he would have
been sent TO room No. z, and be
would never found his Yalise. He
says that J. b Stacy, Jr., Of Pulaski
was the premium talker there, and
that Mr.. Theo. Richardson was the
blue ribbon dancer.
Mrs. T. w. Barber has been quite
sick for a while but / learn is much
better this week. Miss Nina Ray
has been chilling some, but has de-
cided not 20 have any more. Mr..
5. A. Wilkerson offered his shoes
for a melon the other day and Tom
took him up. John Barber says
both OF them were sold. Mr.. Oscar
Don Carlos Beauregard Jones was
Ia our city last week. He calls
around to Read-us occasionally.
We have four young men booked
for the champion ride this fall for

A BREAK FOR LIBERTY.
The Jailer overpowered and Ten
Prisoners Make Their Escape.
Seven Of Whom Are Still at Large.
The Recaptured Three heavily
Iraned.

/
On Monday evening last about
6:30 O'Clock the prisoners in the
county jail, including one land only
one) county work hand made a
break for liberty. The county
prisoners had just been brought in,
fed and turned into the Jail for the
night, and the guards dismissed,
and the jailer, Mr.. Williams, was
proceeding to feed and water the
State prisoners, and had just IN
locked the outside door, when a
prisoner, Allen Shaw, sprang out
side and seized him around the
waist, followed Immediately by Jno.
Gordon, colored, who caught the
iailer by the mouth and prevented
him from giving the alarm. Thus
hampered Mr. Williams was unable
to resist the further actions of the
prisoners, and just here Geo. Riggin
took forcible possession of the out
side gate key, unlocked the gate,
and thereupon ten prisoners ran out
and around the corner of the jail
fence down the alley between the
jail lot and Mr.. Miller's garden,
down Pleasant Run and across the
fields and across the Elkton turn
pike to the Ballentine bottom, and
there in the dense cornfelds and
thickets night came on, and seven
of them were lost. The alarm was
given by Mr.. Williams as soon as
he was released, and immediate pur-
suit was given by officers and citi-
zens on horseback and on foot.
The pursuit was very exciting but
not very successful, only three pris-
oners having been captured before
the darkness precluded further pur-
suit. We append list of the pris-
oners who joined in the stampede,
taken from Sheriff Blows register :;
Allen Shaw, charged with petty lar
ceny; John Gordon, cold, ditto !;
Alfred Pepper, col'd, ditto; George
Riggin, house breaking; Genus Sta
cy, cold, p. larceny; Bill Griggsby,
cold, attempt to kill Mr.. Byars;
Taylor White, assault on his wife;
John Hitchcock, p. larceny; James,
his brother, ditto; and Sam Parker,
work house hand. OF these only
Gordon and the two Hitchcocks
were recaptured. They were ironed
the next morning. One of the re-
captured prisoners complained that
he was badly shot, but upon exam
nation only the print of a spent
ball was found upon his back. The
skin was not broken. 1t is not
known that any of the escaped pris-
oners were shot, though there were
good many shots fired at them.
A yellow boy who stays at the jail
gave pursuit and was about to over
take and capture George Riggin,
but was himself mistaken for a pris-
oner by some other pursuer and
with a pistol pointed at him was
ordered to halt, which of course he
did. None of the county prisoners
except Sam Parker attempted to
escape, although they might have
done so as easily as the others.
Parker was sent to the work house
for six months and fined $50. He
had already worked out his time
and was working out his fine.

The Cumberland Church is un-
dergoing very thorough repairs.
The roof has just been newly shin
gled, and having swagged in the
center, has been raised and a new
truss put in. The walls will be
frescoed. At a future day the floor
will be lowered to a level with the
vestibule, and the auditorium length
ened so as to include the vestibule.
These improvements will add very
greatly to the capacity and inside
attractiveness of the Church. We
trust they may be able to carry out
their wishes.

The College has opened with
about one hundred and ten pupils.
The number is increasing constant
