Mrs. Joyce's Statement.

MEssRs. EDITORS II wish to make the
following statement through the columns
of your paper in regard to the death of
James Wakefield.
Shortly after Wakefield was hurt went
into the sitting room and asked what was
the matter. Frank Monroe and James
O'Malley told me that Wakefield had fallen
and hurt himself. requested them to take
him home as did not wish to be troubled
with drunkardS. Monroe promised to do
so, and remarked that he would place him
on the porch until he got a wagon to take
him home in. arose in the morning at
the usual hour and found Wakefield still on
the porch shaking as l supposed with Geld.
The police were present and 1 told them
that would give them mustard and COM
fort to warm him with if possible. They
remarked that the whisky was dying out in
him, and that he would be all right after
awhile. l think that IL Wakefield had
been properly cared for he would have
lived. This is a true statement.

OBITUARY.

Died on Tuesday, the 27th inst, at .
O'Clock in the morning, in jackson, Tenn,
Mrs. Annie E., wife of Mr.. NJ. L. Vesey.
This amiable and excellent lady was the
daughter Of Col. G. =. Polk, formerly a cit
zen of this town. She was well known in
this community. The many good and gen.
tie qualities Of head and heart that adOrn-
ed her character, combined with her ire
proachable conduct and kindly manner,
endeared her to all, and won for her gen
eral friendship, respect and esteem. It was
here, in Corinth and vicinity that goodly
portion of her life was spent; 1t was IN this
town that she gave her girlish heart 70 Mr..
NJ. L. Yesey in the holy bonds OF natrimo-
ny; and after few short years Of happy,
welded life, it was here, on Wednesday
last that her body, stricken by the hand Of
the destroying angel, was brought 70 be
consigned to the grave. The many friends
that attended her funeral, bore sad but
earnest testimony to the high estimation
with which she was regarded.
Daughters Of Corinthi Another one OF
your number has entered into eternal rest.
Strive to emulate her gentle and Christian
virtues, and the radiant crown OF right
eousness that now sheds its halo of glory
around her angel brow, will certainly be
awarded to YOU also - Corinth Courier.

The Memphis Conference Female
Institute at Jackson.

This valuable and well organized seat of
learning has been in operation for more
than quarter of a century, and now, after
eneountering fierce and often unfair oppO-
SitiOH, strong competition, and the shock of
war, stands at the very zenith of its repu-
tation and success, unsurpassed by any in
stitution Of the State, or even of the South,
for general usefulness, good organization,
or sklIlful management. DIR. Jones de-
serves the gratitude Of a large area of
country around this literary focus as
public benefactor, who has beStOloed more
than he has receiUed. By his constant As
siduity, by his parental guardianship and
by his wise and judiciouS selection of As
sistsnts, he has fully secured pablie conf
dence, extending often beyond the confines
of his own religious denomination.
During the long period Of successful
operation he has not, in the opinion of an
old friend and patron Of the school, been
more fortunate in selection, more jUdici0us
in appointment of aids, than in the selec-
ton of Mrs. Sarah Hays for the training
and instruction Of the Juveniles, and Of
his son, Capt. A. B. Jones, for instruction
Of more advanced classes and the general
government of the school. No two appoint
ments in the whole history Of the school
have contributed so much to its present
standard of excellence, and may in the
kindest spirit be asserted without dstrae-
ton from the merits, proficiency and
efficiency of other members of the very
competent corps of instructors. Mrs. Hays
combines in an eminent degree tact as an
instructor in imparting knowledge to in
FAINT minds, with maternal skill and eX.
perience, to secure the affection and respect
Of her young charge. With dignity and
firmness she governs. The obedience Of
the children is the fruit Of their high re-
spect and sincere love for her. She trains
them in manners, and presents, IN her own
personal graces, high model fer imitation.
She trains their young voices, and the con-
sequence is, when they come to face large
audiences in spacious and crowded hall,
their eRtree is easy, their articulation dis
tinct and audible, and their correct con-
ception of their parts is shown by ad-
mirable intOnsten. With one so gifted as
Mrs. HAYS to nurture the budding intellect,
and with others in the higher walks so
competent TO receive from her hands these
well trained Pestilozzians, the continued
| prosperity Of this school is certain.
A FRIEND AND OBSERVER,
for = years.

THAT BAD PRECEDENT.-Just As we ex-
pected, that bad precedent established by
one Of our Saloon-keepers recently, of
standing treat on the payment OF borrowed
money, is producing fruit bitter to him.
In fact, the business OF borrowing a dollar
from him and paying it back in an hour or
so, has become an absolute nuisance. The
official who inaugurated the thing has been,
ever since, alarmingly short OF change in
making settlements. Others, too, have not
failed to pay their respects to the lender
who pays, what we may call '1eft handed,
bsck-action interest" In fact, we tried it the
other day, but-well-we didn't "git" the
interest, nor for that matter, the dollar
either. However, the business had to have
an end, and we phiIanthropically ended it.
That's all.
THE WRETCH.-On Sunday night last, q
jealous wretch observed another fellow es-
corting his girl to church, and prompted by
the green eyed monster, followed-taking
seat just behind them ia the church. He
raeked his brains for means of revenge, and
looked like seventeen Othelo's concentrated
in one. Finally gastly smile crept over
his face, he raised half up in his seat, and
nabbed a large black bug that was craw-
ling on a pillar hard BY. He took the bug
and gently dropped him down between his
unconscious rivals shirt collar and neck,
and then calmly leaned back with a vir-
tuous and christian air Of satisfaction. The
bug soon made his presence felt, and that
other fellow began to twist and scratch
himself against the back OF his seat and
look uneasy, and east unhappy glanceS at
the minister and affecting ones at the fair
being by his side. The bug evidently grew
more and more impatient at his imprisOn-
ment and turned himself loose, graphing
around with a Tecklessness deViliShly sug-
gestive of big black spiders or scorpions,
and that other fellow could stand it no
longer. but boiling up right, casting one
wild startled look at the congregation,
cleared the space between him and the
door at two bounds. The wretch
who had caused all the mischief, was the
most serenely looking christian we ever
saw. That other fellow got rid Of the bug,
but his shirt and collar were fearfuI
wreck.
