with exhibitions Of t. advantages Of Yazoo
City, its health &c, &c. This is all right.
We do not complain Of it. And may we not
ft low such an example, and say something in
behalf Of Canton? .,r
Canton is Tie seat Of justice Of the far-lamed
county Of Madison, which lies between Big
Black and Pearl rivers, and which, il is gener-
ally conceded, is the most beautiful planting
county in this state. The county is thickly
settled by intelligent, enterprising, fne-look-
ing and hospitable planters, A stranger need
only visit Canton on some public day 10 be
convinced of the truth Of our remark. We
have never yet seen a county which could
assemble on public occasions such a country
population. Nearly every man is welI-dressed,
well behaved, intelligent, and Of healthful
appearance. A shabby, dirty, vulgar, badly
dressed r%ufian, or a countenance. and dress
which bespeak want at home, is rarely to be
seen.
Tllon as TO the citizens Of the town, we may
say the same. II contains population which,
for intelligence, good-breeding, hospitality, in
dustry, taste and morality, is not excolled by any
Villagein the Union, Then the beautiful and
accomplished ladies'! Talk about the beauty
OF Baltimore, Philadelphia, or the rosy -oheeked
copntry-girls Of Kentucky! But we must for
bear, We should go into such e%xtacics that
We could not write, if we wore, to dwell longer
on the Fair Of Canton. Il
Then we have the ablest Bar, the best Ply
%sicians, the most tasteful and accommodating
Merchants, the most eloquent Preachers, the
best Mechanics, the best Schools, &c, &C., q
any town Of the anne size in the Southern
country. So much for the population. /,
Canton is the prettIesL aud most healIhful
village in the Southern country. Every slran-
ger is struck with its. beauty at first view. The
p%rettiest public square, courtyard and court
house, (wherein are the best clerks and the
best sheriff. the pretllest yards and flower
gardens, loading the air with fragrance fol
miles around, the finest fruits, (when a middle
of-April frost does not intorfere!) And then,
if you wish 10 ride out for pleasure, there arc
four public roads leading out Of town-one
North, one South, one East, one West-all SC
fine (when il does not rain all the time,) that
you are at a loss which one to select, You car
travel aslast as you like over smooth and gently
undulating road, for many miles, And wher
you return, your conscience is not awakened
nor your sympataies excited by the foam ant
painting Of a faded horse. Or if you prefer pc
destrian exer, Use, you may indulge yourself il
walking along the beautiful sidewalks, ex.
tending on one side nearly a mile from town
and shaded by the exhuberant foliage of chm,
and sycamore trees. But enough for the pre-
sent. More anon.
