auctIoned OF. on Saturday, ssld well. M
John L. Glass purchased the homestead ior
$4,000. The lots sold ia the city brought
from s7OO to $3.50. The sale evidenced
that monied men have confidence IN ihe
future Of Jackson. Remsmber we say

sPIRITUALIsM.-A DR.. Hull lectured at
the Courthouse in this City on wednesday
and Thursday nights upon the subject Of
Modern spiritualism. He challenged de-
bate. and was completely used up BY DR..
| cay. OF the PIaindealer. Hull attempted
| 10 prove spiritualism by the Bible, and then
that the Bible was not an unerring stand
ard Of truth. His lectures were without
logic or rhetoric, and in all eandor, were
the weakest productions we ever heard.
He claims to possess the power Of healing,
but when challenged to a public contest
declined 10 exhibit hismiraculous powers.
We were disappointed in him and really
astopished at the weakness, not 70 say
arrant humbuggery Of bis whole theory.
i A DREAM.-A friend Of ours dreamed
about us one night last week. In MS
dream we stood upon the summit Of a tall
and beautiful tower, waving the WIG
AND TRIBUNE as a banner. The tower
stood in the middle Of clear, bread and
Quiet river. Anon a storm arose, and
from black clouds leaped thunder and
lightning. The river, driven TO Jury pJ
the storm, rushed foaming, quarreling
bowling on. Suddenly, torrent, an ocean
Of mad water came rushing down, like thu
anger Of unfiattered men, sweeping the
beautiful tower from its base and hurting
il upon the mercy OF wind and ware. But
IN defiance Of the angry flood, the waves
appreeiatiye waves, bore up the seautiiu
tower with .ye LOeaP' still proudly stand
; ing erect, waving his banner, as the toWe
with the waters moved trIumPhantly on.
Friend, We accept the omen. You
: dream is right at least in this, that tn
E criticism Of knaves and fools will neYe
) intimidate or overwhelm US. But, as IN
t tower which you saw in your dream dehe'
/. the wind and food, so will he when yo'
saw upon its summit defy the cold AM
heartless shylocks who are now, Tx
hounds, baying upon his track we Tx
the dream.

THE REASON WHY.-Some of our g

mis- people. there is a reason why the beef
