The daily Mississippi clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1866, 1866-04-20

We are gratifed to announce that this In
stitution chartered at the last session of the
Legislature has been organized and is now
ready for the transaction of-business, Those
who know any thing OF such institutions
need not be told of the benefits they confer
upon the public. The small earnings of
every one may be deposited and interest
allowed the depositor as well as large sums
taken care of and depositors receive a fair
rate of interest This Institution is not
ONLY safe for depostors but is also OF great
convenience and use to the country, as 1t
concentrates the surplus money in the coun-
try and enables those who need money to
pet if on fair terms. We all know the dam
ger NOWADAYS of keeping money on hand
at private residences.
This Institution will take money on gen.
eral or special deposite for any given time,
and should any of its managers die, deposl-
tors would have no trouble i'll getting their
money, as it is a corporation and there
would be no necessity to wait for the settle
ment of estates, as would be the case IL lehl
to an individual.
The following are the names of its offieels
and managers, whose character in this COM
munity afford the highest assurance of the
honesty and fair dealing of the Institution:

CROPS, ETC-From what we can learn
from persons living in different parts of the
country the crops are in tiattering condi-
ton bidding fair to make most excellent
Weld, The recent cold spell did not, as an
ficipated interfere with the crop now grow
inc nor did it iniure the fruit trees, fact
which we take pleasure in recording. The
freedmen are doing well as could be eX-
pected under the circumstances; not work
mo as well of course as they did when in a
state of servitude, but, taking everything
into consideration, performing their duty IN
a manner that gives pretty general satistac-
| ton to their employers. There is DISPOSE
| ton, tits true, among the negro women to
| eschew ANYTHING like field work, considering
| if unlady-like and not in accordance with
| the usages which obtain among their late
| mistresses But we think it more than prob
able they will get the better of their high
falutiu " notions i'll this regard, and make
| themselves serviceable members OF society
| Every negro has some white person III his
| eve whom he would fain act discrimination
| being one of the predominant traits of the
| African haracter-CarrolltOn Conservative.
IL The Louisville Journal publishes
letter from Starkville, in this State, OF
which the following is a portion:
have seen it stated in some of the North
| ern papers that a Yankee could not live i'll
| the south Well, | am a ''live Yankee"
| raised as an abolitonist in Owen LOvejoy's
| town. and have worn the blue about three
| and a half years, and, after coming out of
| the army | came South to raise old king
| Cotton" lived in Tennessee last year, and
came to this place last December, and found
! here a number of men whom faced i'll more
| than one hard-fought battle; and yet better
| treatment was never given to a stranger than
| | have received at their hands Some may
| say that | only live i'll one portion of the
| South, and cannot be able to judge of the
other portions. | can state for the benefit
! of those that | have been i'll some four of
| the Southern States, and have Travelled from
eight to ten hundred miles, and my observa-
ton leads me to say that the Southern peO-
pie can be trusted, and will do better by
themselves than when guarded by the boys
in this county. We do not have one of
those fine pieces of government furniture
! here that our honorable President Gall honor
to his name) so lately married the beauty of,
and the freedmen are all doing well, and
| you cannot see any of them loating about,
as You do where the bureau provides for
them. Here they are all getting along well
and getting good wages and as long as the
| demand for labor is as great as it is all over
| the South, there need be no fear that the
| freedmen will not be treated well.
