Il q
Court House. and a few Of our enterprising
citizens selected It as a convenient occa-
sion to compliment the county officers with
q splendid dinner. It was prepared by our
accomplished host r., M. Winn, to whom,
too much credit cannot be given for the
superb manner in which everything was
"done up" 1t was in manner to Vim
the appetite of the most fastidious epicure.
It would be invideous to speak Of any one
dish, as superior to another, but we cannot
help thinking of the pound and half Of
delicious Trout which in some way or other
disappeared from our plate, and the old Port
and Cognac that helped 30 "cut it in two" !"
Our Senator, ]. ]. B. White, and the
Representative from Issaquena, Capt. j. J
| Hughes, favored US with their countenance
and good humor. Our Senator is the very
kernel Of good cheer, and added much to
the hilarity of The occasion. A number Of
patriotic and numerous toasts were drank,
among them we have only been able TO OBJ
tain the following
By j. B. White-The Uni)n of the differ
ent sections of Yazoo county. They are allied
by the strongest family connection; let tus strive
to encourage the existing harmony; for in union
there is strength.

With sectional feelings recOnciIed and prope

of tho fish dinner, that he feared he would
therefore, give but scG5 sentiment. HI
would, however, give the following:
The new Court House-Tasteful in its de
sign, faultless in its proportions, and beautiful
in its appearance. To the liberality Of on
: Board of Police, are we mainly indebted 70
the erection of that magnificent Temple c
Justice.
By R. Eaton Keys-May the rights Of tn
