an extent that much of it must remain

grow comparatively dear. Secondly, if |
part of this debt be owing to foreigners,
either they draw out of the country
a considerable quantity of |

OUR CITY-OUR MAYOR

Mr.. EDITOR: candidates for Office be-
ing public property, | wish to say a few
words through your columns, in behalf
of one OF the candidates for Mayor, and
who is the present incumbent of that
office, d. n. Barrows Esq. And in do
ing so, it is far from my purpose to de
tract from the merits and claims of his
honorable competitor.
AS one of the old residents of jackson.
it is certainly been very gratifying
TO notice the many valuable works of
improvement which have been made since
the city was surrendered back to its pres
sent municipal officers. At no time in
the last twenty years, has there been so
much activity displayed for the last
ing improvement of our city No part
seems to be neglected, but everywhere
our streets and bridges are being put in
thorough repair. Shortly after the sur.
render, our city grave yard was enclosed
with good and substantial fence. Some
half dozen new bridges have been built,
and the turnpike put in first rate order
on the road leading from the Mighty
East to our city. Numerous small bridges
and crossings have been constructed; the
Cabinass bridge on Capitol Street, is
work of great Importance and the long
talked of new bridge across Town creek,
on Tombigbee street, has at last been
built thereby increasing the value of
on that thoroughfare at least
one hundred per cent. Mayor Barrows
seems to be indefatigable in his exertions. |
and is happily sustained by an intelligent
public spirited Board of Aldermen. His |
borough business habits, his we'll known |
abilities. and the dignity. cour-
esy and impartiality, always displayed in
ne discharge of his public duties, and in
ocial intercourse, peculiarly qualify him
