A SPLENDID DIsPLAY.-The display Of
Agricultural Implements, Hardware and
, Crates, at the Fair, by r. II. ANDERSON *
Co., was truly splendid. We observed es-
pecially, beautiful Marbelized Mantels and
Crates, with Wallace's Patent, manufle-
tured by J. 5. Lithgow & Co., Louisville,
Ky. Indeed their exhibition was alike hon
orable to themselves as merchants, and TO
Jackson as rising city; and we mention
with the highest pleasure, the compliment
tary fact that they carried OF over thirty
premiums. Mr.. r. ii. Anderson is one Of
our oldest and most successful dealers, and
his son and partner in business, Mr.. Gill
bert Anderson, Is enc Of the most promis-
ing young merchants in the West. Their
magnificent display on the occasion Of the
Fair, was in a measure due to the energy,
taste, and genius OF Mr.. Gilbert Anderson
himself. He was also Superintendent Of
the Agricultural department, and display
ed IN its management talent and industry
deserving Of the highest praise. We al
ways take pleasure in awarding praise
where praise is due, and hence we speak OF
hemerits ofyoung Anderson with pleasure,
and predict for him useful and honorable
career.
WE HONOR HM.-Major Il. B. Hurt, OF
this city, Vice President of the West Ten
nessee Agricultural and Mechanical AssO-
citation, has won golden opinions from all
for his just and able management of the
Fair, during the grand exhibition which
has just closed. With mind clear
and active, soul capable Of rising 70 the
height of any occasion, he has displayed, in
addition, that energy and rare tact which
brings order and beauty out OF chaos. No
| city boasts of a more valuable citizen, and
jackson and Madison county should ever
delight in "honoring him.
A DERPERADO ARREsTED.-Andrew
| Whit who fired into train of soldiers at
McNairy Station, on the Mobile and Ohio
| r abroad, some ten days ago, was arrested
at Esq. Steven Moores in this county, on
Friday night last. He was promptly de-
| liyered TO Sheriff May and lodged in the
county Jail in this city, and turned over to
the Sheriff OF MeNairy county on Wednes-
day. Whit is a desperate character, and
we hope that the majesty Of the law viii be
indicated in his trial, Us it has been in his
prompt arrest.
A THING OF BEAUTY--The elegant
showcase Of Mrs. L. J. Alexander, proprie-
tress of the emporium of Fashion" ON
Market street, exhibited IN Floral Hall last

was filed with the latest style Of bOnets and
hats, deliberately and tastefully trimed with
the richest ribbons, and flowers that Wed in
beauty and tint OfcolOr with natures rarest
floral gems. The display was not more
beautiful, however, than her splendid es-
adjustment, which is daily thronged With

ried on the first premium last week for the
best article of Tin work. Jim. is mechanic
OF the highest type, takes pride in his call
ing, is ambitious Of excelling, and will not
fail of success in life. Whatever he under
takes to do is well done, and he is always
inspired with the worthy ambition, to re-
fleet credit upon his trade. His work

The display Of bees, honey and improved
| hives, by S. W, Cole, OF Andrews Chapel,
in this county, at the Fair last week, was
one of the finest we ever saw. He. took
premiums on best bee hive, Ia Langstroth, J
best hive Italian bees, best honey extractor,
Ga Peabody and the best variety and quail
ity of honey. Some irregularity growing
cut OF the absence Of the superintendent
OF the bee department, Mr.. Cole did not re.
ceive in the premium reports his fun SHARE
OF hOnOrs. Mr., Cole is one Of the most en-.
) terprising, and useful citizen in the county
Is well as one of the best informed, and
his example is worthy Of imitation by the
the yOnng men Of the county.
Our confidence in many who oppose gam
bling on prinsiple, was little staggered last
week. We observed during the Fair sew
eraI Of these high moral gentlemen, reck
leSsly investing in that simple little gam,
called ''three earl mOnte.'' Now how art
We to account for their unusual departure
from "high moral principles will ",
account for the pernicious example the
were setting TO the hundreds of youth
: around them: Did they imagine that thel
