Harper's Magazine for March, for sale
at Joe Locke's, contains the most com
prehensive and interesting description
of the interior and practical workings Of
large newspaper establishment that we
have seen published. 1t contains much
valuable information that will be news
to some newspaper people as well as the
masses who take the papers and think

Captain ]. W. Youngblood, now in
the city, has started paper called the
Senatobia Times, at Senatobia, Missis-
sippi. 1t is well printed and full of
spicy articles and news as we could ex-
pect from such an accomplished journal
list as Captain Youngblood 1t is neu-
trail in politics and devoted to local in
terests. Being in the heart of well-to-

The income tax to be paid this spring
is for 1869 The law expired by limita-
ton on the 3lst of last December, and
when the tax for last year is paid there
will be an end to such taxes, unless Con-
gress passes another law on the subject.

for it. This is some consolation for
those who are so unfortunate as to have
an income of over $1,000 clear of all de-
auctions.

gentleman mythologically named Cupid. y
His name may be Cupid, but we under
stood it was Sabatzky.' 1t would be very
easy to ascertain by calling at the County
Clerk office.

Every Radical voter In the county has,
or will have, his papers, and will vote
on the day of election. They are keep
ing quiet on the surface, but working and
spending money day and night. The
negroes are organizing all over the
county, and when the Goth of March
rolls around they will leave their work,
if they have any, and vote, as usual, the
straight Radical ticket 1t therefore
behooves every man to see that he has
his voting papers al, a., .riGht, and to stir
up his nelghbors on the subject.
The Nicoison pavement cases were
taken up in the Chancery Court last
Friday. Messrs. Brown & CO., the con-
tractors, filed bill to have the property
sold to pay for the pavement in front of
the same. A number of citizens, per
haps sixty altogether, have entered,
through their numerous counsel, de-
murrers to the bill. Brown a Co. are
by Hume & Poston" and
Jarnigan & Frayser. Should the demur-
rers be sustained, and the cases finally
decided against Brown & Co., those who
have paid their taxes according to the
or made arrangements to do
So could have recourse on the city, and
eventually offset their taxes with such
claims, So the citizens fighting this tax,
though really working for their own in
terests, represent all who have been as
