Memphis Il Vicksburg Railway Is become a
fact-an actual fact. Not merely a road on
paper, but ready and able hands have taken
hold of its construction and now that the
plow is in the furrow there Is no turning
back and the good work, the needed and
beneficial work, viii go on until the road is
finished.
Messrs. Goodhue & Shaver have taken
a contract for ten miles of this route COM
mencing at the Yazoo River. They grade,
cross-tie, trestle and iron this portion and
commencing on or about October Is, are to
conclude about February lst next. Their
contract covers the most expensive part Of
the line, because Of heavy grading and
trestling and viii cost finished about $25,-
600 per mile or $3.50 for the distance of
their contract. ~

sum per mile win build the balance of the
route. The rail used viii be In accordance

futile efforts on the part of the Mayor TO

ing thrown. the military were ordered to
charge bayonets, and one Of the most turbu-

Luck is ever waiting for something to turn
up. Labor, with keen eyes and strong will,
will turn up something. Luck lies In bed
and wishes the post-man would bring him

Luck whines. Labor whistles. Luck relies
on chances. Labor on character. Luck

NO POstPOnement---A Card so Ihc
Public.

JACKSON, Miss, Oct. 3, 1871.
At a meeting OF the Board Of Control OF
the mississippi State Fair held this morn
ing, to consider various inquiries IA ~
whether or not the State Fair shall be post
poned In consequence of reports In circula-
ton as to the health of the city Of Jackson,
after full consultation, it was unanimously
agreed that there seems 10 be no necessity
for postponement of the Fair. and II was
agreed that the Fair shall take place az the
time heretofore adyertised-commencin
Monday, October 23d. The members Of the
Board base this conclusion upon their own
judgment, sustained by consultation this
morning with the physicians and druggists
OF Jackson, by a committee appointed for the
purpose:
DR. j. l.. Carter says he has never known
the health of the city better. lie has no ease
of any suspicious disease under treatment;
that the weather Is favorable 81 good health.
DIR. /. +. Harrington pronounces the
health of the city good, and weather favor
able TO continued good health.
DIR. Robert Kells says he has had less pro-
fessional calls this week than at any time
since his residence here.
DIR. r. T. Bailey says the health OF the city
is unusually good.
DIR. T. j. Mitchell gives like favorable
statement.
DIR. M. >. Gran says he Is doing very little
practice at this time, and such patients as he
has under treatment are doing well.
DIR. w. /. Hough states that the health OF
the city was never better.
DIR. Hardenstein Is Of same opinion.
Matt. f. Ash, druggist, states that 50 far
as he knows, the city is very healthy.
Messrs. Buck & Bailey state that, judging
from their prescription department the
health Of the city is as good, and perhaps
better, than they have ever known at this !
season of the year.
Gus Asher. druggist, says there is no un-
usual demand for medicine Of any kind.
The public may rest assured that should
any cause Of any sort require the postpone
ment of the Fair, due notice will be given |
by kilograms and otherwise.
The appearance of several frosts in this |
vicinity, and the cold rain of Monday and |
Monday night, are favorable indications for
good health.
