UNIQUE But SHORT MODE OF CLOSING
OUT BUsNEss.-In a village not great
: way from Jackson, there fiourished couple
Of men who by hard ticks and economy had
saved up ESQ each. They, as many others
have done before, concluded to quit work,
! unite their capital and go into the grocery
business. In very few days after they
opened out mutual suspicion that one was
stealing from the other sprung up in their
minds. Each one, then, to get even with
the other, and save himself, commenced TO
pack of goods on every favorable Oeca-
sion. The dwellings OF both were near by
the store, and the principal carrying was
done whilst one or the other was at dinner.
One Of them was much larger than the
other, and hence possessed more carrying
power; but the little one made up for his
physical deficiency in activity and energy.
Thus, in precisely ten days from the time OF
opening they had cleared out the concern,
the small one getting the last grab. They
were both little astonIshed 1T the short
done, but each one was satisfied that he had
gotten his share. In thus closing out their
business, they certainly avoided the ex-
pense and delay Of trustees, receivers, etc.
They accomplished the whole thing comfort
ably IN just ten days, and went back TO
work, satisfied with their experience.
Our young and go-a-head friend, b. A.
Pearson, living six miles east Of the city,
realized this year on OF sixteen acres Of
clover, first cutting 10000. The same field
is ready fer the second cutting, which win
swell the amount to $3.50 at least. This
clover was raised on field that was well
worn, and not needed for cultivation.
There are thousands Of acres Of land in
West Tennessee lying idle. Why is it that
they are not seeded with clover or some
other grass? By seeding the idle lands Of the
South, worn soil will not only be redeemed,
but the waste lands themselves, by the hay
that is cut on Of them, and the stock that
they fatten, viii be made TO pay as much as
the best cotton lands. Let our planters go
10 WORK and seed all of their idle lands.
Learn a lesson from friend Pearson, and
make your useless lands profitable, as he
has made his. All honor say we, to our en-
terprising young friend, who, rising above
cold fogyIsm,7 has made even his idle lands,
contribute TO his own wealth, and the
prosperity of the whole South. His exam
plei worthy of imitation. Follow it.
In ,olden times Samson, who, in a great
battle slew many thousand Philistines with
the jaw-bone Of an ass, was shorn Of his
locks, Gin which lay the secret Of his great
strength,) by his vile, Philistine woman.
Samson took his revenge by pulling down
the columns which supported great Phil
istine temple, burying many thousand Of
his enemies with himself in the ruins.
jackson has policeman, who, for many
years has prided himself on the length and
exuberanee Of his beard. Recently in ar
resting a disturber of the city's peace, he
was violently shorn Of the major portion of
this manly ornament. But instead of pur-
suing the dire vengeance OF Samson
against his enemy, he prudently, but with
a sigh resigned himself to the mercy Of a
barber. His revenge was more practical
than SaEnson's, although his self-saerifiee
was not perhaps so great. Now he Is less
salient, having no whiskers for his enemy
to pull. But the far and oily locks OF
which he was violently and cruely depriy.
ed, were gathered up by our enterprising
friend Rosy, and may now be seen at Rosy's
Restaurant, ia an elegant glass frame.
No ExcUsE.-Some of our good citizens.
we learn, refuse to take stock in the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical Association, be-
cause Of the supposed location Of the
grounds. To all such we would say that
the location of the Fair Ground belongs to
the stockholders. When stock sufficient is
subscribed, there will be called meeting
OF the stockholders to decide the question
OF location, and no fair minded man, we
take 1t, can or will object 20 this only equit-
able plan. Every man can't have his way
in such matters, and those who hold back
because they can't have their way, are sim
ply trying 10 do themselves, what they
charge upon, and condemn in others. The
grounds hdve not been selected. Many
stockholders have their preferences, but the
question Of location has not been officially
discussed. The majority will rule in this
matter, and no fair minded mfn, or one
DESTROYS Of doing his part in the further
ance OF a common good, can or will object.
We have before us a bright, great futare.
An intelligent apprec. ation of our interests,
enterprise and harmony is ali that Is neces-
sary to make Jackson the largest inland
city in the Southwest and Madison the
richest inland county.
WEST TENNESSEE FAIR.-Mary Of the
friends of this great enterprise met in this
city on Saturday last. Among other Things
| il was resolved to have another meeting on
Saturday, the 9TH day of August, at which
an elegant Basket Dinner will be spread,
Hon. En-. Etheridge, Coils. Griffith and Kill
Hebrew, win address the people. A large
attendance is expected, and il is confidently
believed that a permanent organization
will be effected. Let all who desire to
place Madison County and jackson in the
front rank of enterprise, improvement and
prosperity meet together on the 9Th, pre-
pared to do their part in pushing on this
great movement Five thousand dollars of
stock has already been subscribed, nearly
| all OF which has been taken in this city
/ Our country friends have not yet done their
duty; but rs ever, we have faith in their
good sense ami fairness, and confidently be-
lieye that they win not long remain behind.
The plain truth of the matter is, Madison
county has slumbered too long, and if she
don't wake up Roto, and take hold Of this
| grand enterprise, with vim and earnest
ness, she will occupy the same position
among her sister counties that Rip Van
Wrinkle did in his old town, after \ sleep of
twenty years on the mountains. Fairs are
being held in most of the counties around
US, and they have been OF heasureless profit.
We can make our Fair the most popular
and profitable one in the District, if oar
people win only move in the matter with
intelligence, energy and hberality. In ad-
dition to the advantages derived by stimu-
lating Agricultural and Mechanical skill
and development, this Fair viii put extra
thousands of dollars into active circulation
in our midst. Besides, the stock will pan,
if we place the institution on the proper
basis, and conduct it with comprehensive
liberalRy-tohich tciH be done. jackson
has already subscribed nearly 5000, and
if necessary she may be counted on for
5000 more. Come, citizens Of the county,
put your shoulders to the wheel and let us
unite in making our Fair a grand success.
Let everybody interested in this great
