cast in the city, EOJ.
The election passed OF quietly, and there
was but little eIectiOneering on the day Of

\ FLoURIsH1NG VILLAGE.-Henderson
station, in the south part Of this county, on
the Mobile and Ohio railroad, is one Of the
most prosperous villages in the county. It's
commerce is large and growing, and its cit
liens enterprising and liberal. The Hen
derson Masonic Male and Female Institute
opened this year with so students, and it is
confidently expected that there will be 100
| by the LIST Of February. The towns health
lily located, and commercially or education

Matilda jackson, Phillis Hughes she has
many other names too tedious TO mention).
Sam Cox and Bud Harris contribute more
literally perhaps tow rds the support OF
the city government than any other four in
dividuals in the city. The police depart
ment's monthly report absolutely overflows
with their generous contributions. They
are colored folks, and in one sense they may
be regarded rs public benefactors, for we
don't know what the police would do with
out them. They should be nOurished al
well as tlourished.
HONOR TO WHOM HONOR Is DUE.-Thu
; CITY Of Jackson was never better policcI
than during Mayor Conger's administration
, His management Of the police force, unde
, all the difficult circumstances by which b
p was surrounded, has called forth the enco
! miums Of even strangers. The peace ant
quiet of the city during the Fair, whel
thousands Of strangers thronged our streets
- speak more eloquently than words tn
r praise of our retiring Mayor. He had goo
S officers. and he directed and sustained ther
4 in the discharge Of their delicate duties.
Al. ,f,s51 ,Ef MN .fFta
I affairs, he carries with him the esteem, cor
8. fdencc and best wishes Of the whole peoPl
OF jackson.
