That night Rube returned and the Polio
r again essayed his capture, but his swift
o feet, that only ran the faster with each shO
fired at him by the officers, agais save,
him from arrest. The daTkies OF that local
: ity say that the corn field through which
u Reuben ran looked as IL it had been SWEEP
by tornado.

A TEAM.-A family OF colorcd movers
passed through this city on saturday IN
+ rather a primitive style. A cart with two
wheels, drawn by two heller calves and a
mule colt about a year old, conveyed their
earthly goods. The old oman, two goats
and a pig rode in the cart, the old man
walked and drove the calves with rope
line, while the mule colt was guided by a
ten year old girl, who was mounted with
out saddle, man fashion, on its back.
The whole followed by bob-tailcd brindle
cow and seven huugry-lOoking purPs.
OUR POsr OFFIcE.-Our citizens gene
post Office facilities now afforded. With
pationcc they have born the inconvenience
for months, but now that there are seyera..
suitable houses for post office, they think
that patience has cease ed to be a virtue. A
city rs large as Jackson requires and should
have tirst-class post Office cOnyeniences,
and we hope that our excellent postmis-
tress will not longer delay fitting up one
| commensurate with our wants and neces-
sites. We feel confident that she will in
| due time respond to the reasonable de-
mands Of generous, patient public. In
| deed we understand that \ movement is
now on foot TO establish the Office IN the
new Stoddcrt building on Liberty street
At all events, that our postmistrcss will
soon comply with the demands OF the occa-
sion, we have every confidence.
ENJoINED.-Dr. w. A. Wood, by writ of
| Injunction issuing from the ChanceTy
| Court, has been enjoined from interfering
with or in any way disposing of the assets
of Elizabeth Martin deceased. 1t is pro-
bable that at an early day motion to dis
solve said Injunction will be made by the
| counsel of DIR. Wood, and in case said in
| junction is not dissolved 4 receiver will be
| appointed to take charge Of the assets OF
! said estate.
COLLIsION.-Au extra tram consisting
of an engine and a baggage car, from Wa
ter Valley en- route to Milan, and a train of
or 10 box ears which switch engine Din
key of the NJ. & o. r. r. was backing down
to the Central Depot, colIided on curve
in Miller's lot Tuesday, wrecking one ear
completely, badly damaging another and
smashing engine 40 which was pulling the
extra train. A Mr.. Savage wasI the engi-
neer Of engine 40 and a Mr.. Dodd OF Din
key. No limbs were broke or lives lost, but
there was some wild jumping few bruises
and huge scare. Two little boys, sons of
Mr.. VIM. Rosenberg Of this city, were ri
ding in the car that was wrecked, but for
tunateIy jumped out just in time to save
their lives. Bad management somewhere,
we don't exactly know where, is RESPONSE
bic for the accident
A NARROW EsCArE.-The following
from the Memphis Avalanche Of Sunday,
IN regard to an accident on the Memphis
and Louisville Railroad, near Brownsville,
Saturday, the 18th inst, will be read with
interest by the people or Pinson:
"There was one lady passenger, and her
escape from death is miraculous. A bro
ken rail was driven with great violence
/ through the bottom Of the car directly I'M
derneath where she sat, and in its terrific
passage tore all her clothing, even her I'M
| der garments, and she was wedged so fast
/ TO the ear that her clothing had to be cut
before she could be eXtricated. NOtwith-
standing she escaped without any injury,
| save 4 few scratches. Her name is Mrs.
/ Steevers. She came from Mount PInsOn,
and was on her way to visit friend near
/ Mason's Depot.
CHEATING" A LANDLORD.-The follow
| ing good one" on landlord not thous-
and miles from this CITY, is every word
| true. A Commercial tourist stopped at 4
hotel, took dinner, and when supper was
announced started in to eat supper, but
hearing the train approach and fearing that
| he might be left, hurried suppcrlesS, into
the Office for his baggage and to settle his
| bill. The landlord thought he had eat sup
per, and when he called for his bill said
"$l 80, sir" The tourist replied, "YOu
! charge me too much, landlord" Landlord,
coloring, rcjoined-"If you don't like it,
don't stop here any more" "But that
charge me too much" Swelling with an-
ger the indignant host thundered-"Settle
your bill, SIT, and don't stop here any
more" The bill was settled, but, as the
tourist turned to leave he repeated, impress
sively, "Remember, landlord, you charged
me too much" The tourist got out Just in
time to escape an unpleasant intimacy with
the landlords broganS, and went his way
Next day the landlord received 4 dispatch
from Mobile which cost him so cents, and
on being opened contained only the words,
'Remember, landlord, you charged me too
much" a few days afterwards he receiv-
ed another dispatch, but from New Orleans
this time, which cost him 50 cents more,
and which contained only the wOrdS-''R
member, landlord, you charged me toe
much" Some ten days elapsed and the
landlord congratulated himself that hi:
, tormentor was done, but no, another tele
gram all the way from Texas. and which
, cost him 81 came, repeating the simpl,
words, Remember, landlord, you charged

-, and smother from st. Louis with the omi

: and one from Cincinnati, containing tn
familiar reminder, Remember, landlord
: OH charged nae too much That unhap
= nv landlord was now out for telegram

He went about talking to himself, noddln
ii his head omnously, repeating Gust one
t. only once for 4 half minute-thats all
lie want Let him come, it will be MECH
Of corpse" At this point a dispatch arrive
IL from New York. 1t contained only OF
ne word. That word was-EvEN. The Ian,
CT lord read Invent home-sat down an
so read it again. Got up-thrashed Sma
