War On Obscene Literature,

The grand jury of the Hastings court Of
Richmond having indicted all the newsdealers
in the city for selling the Police Gazette, Po-
lice News and Weeks Doings, cassed as
"obscene prints" the newsdealers met yester-
day and resolved to discontinue the sale of
those papers. They had hoped in this way TO
escape the fine Of $500 and imprisonment, the
penalty fixed by law. Some OF them propose,
in order that the booksellers may also feel the
rigor OF the law, that Zola's works, "L'As-
somoir," "Nana," ETC.. shall be also placed
under the ban as obscene literature.

Aspen Hill.

Family feuds and the conse-
quent gossip, together with the
neighborhood divisions-and it is
fact sure, but don't you say any
thing-are more to be dreaded than
the fatal influence of the Upas tree;
but as faithful correspondent it
becomes my duty to chonicle one OF
those ambitious affairs in our Ill
lage, of recent date. Friends inter
fered, but it did no good; the par
ties were bent on blood. "A combat
ensued. In few moments Mr..
Red was holly persuing his enemy,
but fortune was against him; and
the last we saw Of Red he was MAX
ing rapid strides for a neighboring
thicket with old Domi at his heels,
while he gasped "Coot! Cootw and
the boys yelled "Rah for Domi =
YAH yahr' Here we draw a mantle
over this whole affair.
DR.. G. d. Butler and his HELEN
have had every reason to be happy
since their marriage; but after a
few earnest words one morning last
week they separated. Mrs. HELEN
and the children spent several days
with her sister near Pulaski, leaving
the house to the mercy of the doctor
and the boy VIII. She was not
mad bit when she left, but l am
not so sure about it when she re-
turned. The doctor knows how to
give pills, but l venture when Mrs.
HELEN got things in place again
and had fished the last napkin from
his pockets she had her doubts
about his housekeeping.
Honest confession is good for
the SOUL" and I must confess that l
made our hens strain themselves
last week; or, at least, strained
that hen-fruit story just little.
Read it hundreds instead of thous-
ands and you will have the facts.
Sich is life.
We'll, Mr.. Editor, we had one
of those male-man- uncomfortable
hen-dinners in Aspen Hill last week.
! don't know what was said or done,
except that this correspondent did
not get an invitation even to seat
on the back fence. Mrs. Mollie
Wilkinson was president of the
affair.
Mrs. Alice Reed has been in
disposed for a week, but is up again.

Death Of Mrs. snottswood.

Our people were made sad to re-
ceive the painful intelligence of the
untimely death of Mrs. S. Celeste
Spottswood, which occurred in
Nashville last Wednesday. She
had pneumonia, but it was not
known that she was so i'll until the
announcement of her funeral was
made. The remains were brought
to Pulaski Thursday at noon and
were buried at the new cemetary at
3 o'clock, services by DR.. Wright.
Mrs. .Spottswood was raised in Pu-
laski, being the daughter of the late
Edward w. Rose She was a lady
Of rare accomplishments and was
greatly loved. The widowed hus-
band has the sincerest sympathy of
our people-a meagre solace for the
irreparable blight that death has
brought upon his household.
