Address to the Medical Fraternity
Of Mississippi.

AT the late convention of the Med
ical Association of the State, the
undersigned were appointed a COM
mittee to address the Medical Pro
fession therein, urging upon them
the organization of kindred county
and local societies, whose duty it
shall be to cooperate in the great
work of establishing high standard
of medical ethics and of advancing
the interests of medical science in
our State.
The urgent necessity for such a
combination of the profession in Mis-
sissippi, though long neglected, has
been deeply felt and universally ac-
knowledged 1t is due alike to our
selves, to the people, and to the pro-
fessiOn throughout the whole cOun-
try, of which we form an integral
part. The beneficial results of such
organizations throughout the United
States and in all parts of the Scien-
tific World, is standing rebuke and
a daily reproach to us. With a pro-
session fail of individual capacity and
attainments-with a great variety of
diseases peculiar to our climate and
local conditions, the field Of our Ia
bOrs is one of a most comprehensive
and inviting character; and if enter
ed upon with united effort, energy
and spirit, equal to the occasion,
promises not only great benefits to
ourselves aud the public, but high
er status to each individual member
of our profession. 1t is palpable to
an that the duty of an exertion is
incumbent on each and every one of
us, and that the objects to be attained
are well worthy the effort. To pre-
sent the subject is to exhaust the ar
gument,. and we will not undervalue
the intelligence Of our medical breth-
rem by labOred effort to establish
self.evident truths. Then let assOci-
atoms be formed in every portion of
the State without delay, and the
great work already begun meet with
that support which it so richly de-
serves.
Means are necessary to advance
the work, and physicians are request

State Medical Association, without
waiting for local organizations This
can be done by paying the initiation
fee of two dollars to DIR. Lea, of Wi
mona, who is the Recording Secretary
Of the State Medical Association, to
whom all communications are to be
addressed.

CHRONIC DISEASES,

compliance with tho Urgent request

this visit to Canton, Miss, to afford
such persons an oppOrtHRlty of con-

Determined that all the advan-

inventions adopted in medical prac-
tice with such signal advantages
together with many inventions and

MISSISSIPPI STATE FAIR.
Circular from the Committees.
JACKSON. MISS. Nav 29th, go.

JACKSON. MISS. Nav 10Th. 80.
At meeting of the Planters,
Man ufacturers' and Mechanics AS
ISOLATION of the State of Mississippi,
held in this city in January last,
it was unanimously resolved to hold
a State Fair at the city Of Jackson,
on the Foarth Tuesday in October
next, and a Committee of Arrange
ments was appointed to make the
necessary preparation to carry this
resolution into effect.
The following plan of organization
has been adopted:
A Joint Stock Company has been
formed, consisting of Lite Members
and Annual Members. Any person
who subscribes the sum OF fifty dol
lars becomes a Stock holder and
Life Member, and has the privilege
with his family, to attend all the
fairs that may be hereafter hello and
exhibit any article, stock, &c,
free of charge. Those who sub,
scribe ten dollars become Annual
Members, and have the privilege OF
attending all exhibitions held dur.
ing the year of subscribing, and ex
hibiting any articles, stock, &C.,
free of charge.
The sum of $1,000 has been al
ready subscribed, most of it by citi
Zens of Jackson, and arrangements
are being made to commence the
erection of suitable buildings al
once.
This is not local Fair, but has
been projected by leading planter:
and manufacturers from all parts O
the State, and designed to be car
ried out in an enlarged and liberia
spirit, and to rival in magnitude anC
Importance, the celebrated Stat,
Fairs of Kentucky, and other West
ern States. Such an Association o
Planters, Manufacturers, Mechanic.
and Horticulturists, is indispensable
to develop the vast resources o
Mississippi. Our great need is ma
terial reconstruction. We trust tEa
the leading men of every calm;
and profession throughout tho State
will join us and throw the weight o
their influence and example in favo
of this great work.
Let every one to whom this circu
lar is sent, interest himself to &c
I his neighbOrs to become members O
this Association, and to attend tn
Fair on the fourth Tuesday of OctC
Der next, and bring with them sue
+ articles or stock as they may hav
for exhibition. Especially do we ez
pect the ladies, who are always fore
= most in every good work, to tax
r hold of this matter and make it
3 grand success. Let them come an
/ bring their nice samples of butteI
| cake, bread, wine, meats, embroid,
ry, quilts, &c.)
Tho Stock holders desire to sa
:, that they will be as liberal in maxim
up their premium list as circumstal
ces will warrant; and as we are M
at present prepared to issue a lis
:, it may be understood that all article
usually exhibited at State Fairs, wi
= be noticed for premiums. The tern
of admission of stock, machiner
&C., for premiums. will be fixed ;
reasonable rates. We also inten
: appointing Committee whose dut

: embraced in the list, and make SUE
notice as shall be satisfactory

Where furniture. China ware-delf-

By visions of oats, grass and barley,
And cradles and scythes aud so, somewhat

He thought that he d try short parlcy.
1" am sorry" he ssid, while his small stock they
scanned,
" That the thing which you wish is MT here;
But the articles one that we nc'er keep on hand
But at harvesting time of the year"
While the ladies' regarded each other with wonde
Their faces unconsc iously flushing.
The innocent clerk. unaware of his blunder
Knew naught of the cause of their blushing
But between them a whispering and laughing
occurred.
Which quickly explained him the reason;

DEAR SIR Your favor of the
10th is received, and the contents
noted.
My construction of General Orders
No. 2S is, that it reduces the State
tax on polls to one dollar-allows
collection of mot exceedingly fifty per
cent. on the same for special pur-
poses, and does not interfere with
the collection of one hundred per
cent. on the State tax for county
purposes. So, if the board has lev
led the last named tax to the amount
of one hundred per cent, and the
special tax at fifty per cent, the fol-
lowing taxes may be collected on
polls, viz: State tax 81 o.; special
SOC; county 81 O0-total, So so, for
all purposes.
Yours truly,
THOs. I. SWAMI,
Auditor
