Pooh Nine Theirs, after the death OF
her husband, who used to keep the table
animated by his intellectual babble. be-
gan to feel disgust for food. There
was no an;mating power in the old
friends and relations who gathered
round her. When the bell was rune
for the midday or evening repast she
often sent down word that she did not
feel inclined to eat, and begged that her
sister would take the head of the table.
Sometimes she prolonged her fast fol
several days, and only took, when weak
from long abstention from food, cup OF
broth, or of chocolate, which she swal.

A LEADING dry-goods house of Boston
has no. fight on its hands. The wife
of an iron manufacturer, while doing
some Christmas shopping, was seized by
private detective, cheap collar de-
tlched from the ruffling of her dress,
where it had accidentally become caught,
and the lady placed in cell at the po-
lice station and charged with larceny.
Her protestations of innocence, her ref.
erence as to character, her social stand
ing, were unh aeled. Her husband has
given handsome retainer to II leading
lawyer and instructed him to obtain full
revenge for the outrage.

SIMON and Joseph Kline, father and
son, of Canton, Ohio, both wanted to
marry their housekeeper. The old man
owned all the property, and the woman
gave him the preference on that account,
assuring Joseph that she would marry
him as soon AS she became widow.
But the son had plan for getting her
and the estate without delay. He pois-
0ned his father, first using so much ar
senic that the result was not fatal, and
finally producing death with morphine.

Mr. President snd Members Of the Misss-
sippi Press Association,
1t has. been made my pleasant
duty to welcome you to Aberdeen
to extend to you, in behaf of its
citizens, the hosp.talitics Of their
homes and their laulations of the
profession you represent.
We do not welcome yoa and we
do not praise you as poets, whose
lines are lisped in every cline, nor
as philosophers, who have "dissi-
pated individual cases by spread
ing them upon all mankind nor as
victorious warriors returning from
cannon SCARED battle fields, nor as
statesmen, who have swayed listen
ing senates, or who have run tilts
with presidential knights, and with
shattered lance and glittering
nrizes lost, have come home not to
"sulk,n but to be remourted and
refreshed for other jousts. While
your Association rightfully boasts
of its poets and its philosophers
of it's warriors and its statesmen,
yet we do not welcome you because
of these lordly claims to public ap-
plause.
We welcome your as the Press
Association; as the editors OF the
State of Mississippi, upon whose
efforts her future welfare so much
depends--you, who weekly, and
tri.wcckly and daily send forth the
seed d.thougbts WHICH are to be
planted all over the land, and from
which the "tbistle or the fig" the
evil or the good will spring. You
scatter these germs of truth or Of
terror everywhere, you send them

4 Good Move.

The wave OF military enthusiasm
has at last struck our ancient city
and is likely to produce most bene.
ficient results. Natchitoches Is a
place OF no mean proportions, and
certainly has a record which has
been proclaimed ia song and sto.
ry." 1t possesses also, within its
honored precincts numbers Of fair
proportioned and manly youths
whose military record Is yet to the
world unknown, but who would
furnish splendid material for a
''crack" military organization.
So recently a movement was set
on foot to form such an organization
and was subscribed to by a number
OF the young men. Last Tuesday
night a preliminary meeting was
held In room over G. L. Wslmsley
&Son's store on FIR mt street. Sew.
eral committees appointed pro.
emial to a future permanent forma.
ton Of the company. These com.
mittees embraced matters Of uni.
form, rules to govern the company
soliciting membership, etc. The
election Of officers to command the
company, name &c.. were left for a
subsequent meeting.
This movement Is certainly a most
laudable one and should meet the
hearty support and approval oil
our citizena It is the first effort
which has been made here since the
war to organize a company. There
are plenty OF young men here who
would make tt an honor to our city,
which previous to the war boasted OF
as fine 4 company Of citizen soldiers
az any town In the State. Let tht
(Rood work progress and this effor,
become a success and fixture. W.
certainly will be more than pleased
to render 1t any assistance within oul
power.
