creasing rapidly in wealth, population and impor-
stance, and it behooves US now to take some steps
towards making it an agreeable and desirable
place. AS property increases in value, let the
streets be improved, and the city beautifed in
every respect. First and most important of all
is the necessity of making our streets fit for the
transportation OF our merchandise, and passabie
for pedestrians and vehicles at all times. Again,
from the North, East, West, and even from the

they have enterprise and capital; let us offer in
ducements for stopping them here. More dwell
lings are wanted. Hotels are imperatiyey called
for. We need two more good hotels on Washing
ton street, and frstclass family hotel ON Walnut
or Cherry street. Beautify and improve the city.

ment at slight expense. Let us hear no more the

IA TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.-A shocking tragedy, |
than which none blacker has dsgraeed our
annals, occurred ten miles north of Benton on the
afternoon of last Wednesday. Last Tuesday a 1
party OF thieves, three in number, stole thirteen
mules from the plantation of Judge Dubnisson five
miles below Yazoo City. The mules were the
pr9perty OF Capt John Ray, who with Mr.. Charles
puSu!sson came Up to Yazoo City, Wednesday
a. q. Coffee and James H. Copeland, set out in |
pursuit Of the thieves, who had gone towards |
Benton. At Benton they heard that they had /
she ssshg0n road GaRt Ray and his
81 Mrs. Logan, where having just concealed the |
mules, they had stopped. Capt Ray and his |
party went up to the house, and most of them dis
one Of the thieves, who was standing at tbs door
with a gun in his hand, that he wanted his mules:
The fellow told him he could not get them.
Whereupon Ray set his own gun down, advanced
upon the porch where he Stood seized his gun and
leu W MIcuGH lFuIu ulu. WINE ne mad
holdof the gun, another Of the thieves shot him
with pistol. He turned, walked off the porch and
fell dead in the yard. Then the villains in the
house opened a brisk fire on the party without,
three Of whom were on the porch. Hoskins and
Coffee were shot, and walked off the porch and fell
dead In the yard, though not before they had ex-
changed shots with the thieves. They fired several
shots at Copeland and Dnbuisson after the death of
theirthree companions, one shot passing through
Copeland's coat. 1t is supposed that one of the |
villains was killed. Here the firing ceased, and
they disappeared, it not being known whether
they went out Of the house or concealed them
selves in it.
Copeland and Dubusson took the bodies of the
dead men and laid them on the porch and came
away. yesterday they returned with collins to
bring them to this city.
u What next Is there no power to put an end to I
murders and robberes? Shall crimes of the |
blacklist kind go unpublished?
The three unfortunate men who were killed were
from Kentucky and had served with honor in the |
Southern army during the war, and had come
amongst Us to retrieves their broken fortunes |
They were all gentlemen, and their untoward fate |
merits the sympathy of all. "

NE Wfetches, and it. is to be hoped they will be
successful. Yazoo Banner.
