! FOR THE FIRST TDIE.-On Saturday
/ last not a single arrest was made in the
| CITY, although the streets were thronged
| with people. 1t was the first time for
many years that Saturday passed in
| Jackson without some disturbance or ar
rest. The fact bears eloquent testimony to
! the merit and efficiency Of our City authori-
| ties, from Mayor to Police.
$4,000 lbs. Of Meat received this week
by SMITH JARNAGIN.
! How THEY DO IA lady Of this City
! who is fond Of eggs, and always keeps them
about the house, complains that rats are
| the most successful egg rogues in the world.
| She told us that they burglarized eggs
| thusly-one little rat would throw his fore
legs-arms we SHOULD have said-around
an egg and then a big rat would gather the
little one by the tail and pull him and the
! egg into their hole or residence. Very in
| genious, certainly, and the lady aforesaid
Of course knows whereof she speaks.
LOTS or 'EM.-A four mule wagon pass
ed through the City on Sunday, loaded
with women and children and followed by
crowd of well muscled men, en- route for
farm near Denmark. There were seven
women, ten children, and seven men in the
party, and mary" dog. They were from
Hawkins county, East Tennessee, and
judging from their appearance will "stIr''
with effect the generous soil Of "Old
Madison"

Butter, Eggs, Poultry, or in fact anything
eatable, call on

COMPLEMENTARY Memphis South
erH Advertiser, a German paper, in its last
weeks issue pays high compliment TO the
Jackson String Band, which officiated at
Turner's Hall on Mardi Gras night. The
Advertiser says that hemphians were
astonished at the excellcncy of the music
furnished by the Jackson Band. The truth
is there is not a better Band to be had any
where, than the Jackson String Band.
PUTTING ON AIRS.-A colOred gem
men" was summing himself on Lafayette St.,
the other day, and put on so much style
about it, that he excited the suspicion of
the police. He sported an immense chain,
but the pocket in which the watch was
supposed to be, was awfully swelled. This
pocket looked especially suspicious, and
policeman insisted upon viewing its con-
tents. The colered "gemmen" was highly
indignant, but finally revealed the inside Of
the afore said swelled pocket. 1t contained
an empty halt pint bottle, with one end Of
the elaborate chain fastened into the cork
stopper. He was playing OF the bottle for
a watch, and seemed very much embarrass-
ed at the exposure
DOWN IT WENT.-On Saturday last
Smith & Jarnagin piled up 10000 pounds
of meat on the front floor of their house,
just over the cellar, and down the floor
went with a crash. Mr.. J. T. Cole, Clerk
in the house, went down with the meat,
and was severely bruised by the falling on
him of several kegs of tobacco. Meat, to-
bacco, oysters, canned fruits, wine, candies
and Cole, were feaIfully mixed up. Sever
al persons were standing near the front
door when the accident occurred, among
them our Mayor, who it is said, displayed
remarkable agility, clearing some forty feet
of mud at two bounds, ard with great APP
parent comfort. Smith & JarnagiA esti-
mate their loss at about S4OO.
THE HIGHEST price is paid for all kinds
of Country Produce, by
mchI5-2w SMITH Il JARNAGIN.
| GoODRAR n GLLILAND.-N e are re-
minded as the Winter recedes and gentle
| Spring is bursting in upon US with its
thousand blessings, that this old, staunch
and reliable firm Gtill liyeth, and is pre-
pared t o do a larger business than ever be-
fore.
Goodbar X GillilaRd may be denomina-
! ted pioneers in the Boot and Shoe
| line in Memphis, and their prestige for re-
| liability was won years sgone, before the
bugle notes OF war had resounded through
/ our hills and vallies.
Their Spring stock is already ample and
complete, and they have disposed of their
| 81 Iasl ND 20
& Norton, which enables them to devote
their whele attention to one line of bust
| ness, and it is their intention that no house
in the Southwest shall have for the inspec-
| ton Of dealers larger and more desirable
stock, which it will be q pleasure to show,
and which all merchants are invited to call
and examine. Memphis, in some things,
may have been laggard, and hence her rich
neighbor up the river, may have beaten
her in the perfection of her railway sys-
TEN, but her great Boot and Shoe house
stands unrivalled and uneclipsed, both for
exhaustless variety of stock, and for cheap
selling rates.
We do not know better how to point tai
article than simply to insist on our local
dealers giving Goodbar & Gilliland an
order, and we can assure them that they
will make money by following our advice.
When you so to Memphis remember the
Boot and Shoe emporium on Main street.
| SWEET POTArOEs-Of the finest quality,
| sound, and Of over average size, can be had
at SMITH s. JARNAGIN's-
MENPHIs.-Th livest, most enterpusing
| CITY in Tennessee, is Memphis. With far
