streets the old oil lamps are still used.
They are a long way better than no light,
aud hence are highly appreciated. But
during the past week several Of these lamps
have been stolen. Mayor King supplied
their places with new lamps, but the dirty
dogs who stole the old ones, will receive
condign punishment If caught.
A BIG SHOT-Tom Williamson, IN en-
ployee of the NJ. & o. Railroad, killed eley-
en- partridgcs at one shot while cunning
last week. At least that's what Tom says,
and we are far from calling bis statement
into question. However, we did not wit
ness the shot, nor have we seen the birds.
BRING IT BACK,- On Saturday night last,
a theft entered Houston 4 Sayle's grocery
store and robbed Mr.. Houston Of n fine
oyercoat. The overcoat was hanging near
the back door, which opened on an alley,
and how the thief got It without being de-
tected is a mystery. This species OF rob-
berry is becoming an institution Of Jackson,
and our police should bend their energies
In breaking it up.

THE TENTH DISTRICT IN ARMs.-Some
r months ago a colored man by the name of
r George Washington made his appearance
t in the northern party OF this county as a
? lecturer. His lectures were delivered to
the coiored people alone, and he organized
several lodges OF the ''ColorCd Benevolent
Society,"" II seems that his teachings were
: suspieiOned Of not being all right by the
whites, and they claim that his influence
among the blacks was pernieious. Hence
