PLEASANT HILL REyIvAL.-Th, reli'
gious revival in progress at Peasant Hill
for week past, is still exciting deep inter
est. The Reverends Jarret Renshaw, Jas
Blackmon and MIR. johnson, are conduct
: ing the meeting.
Try Jas. F. Walsh for NEW SUIT Of
Clothing.
GRKEN.-A prominent merchant of this
Clty, whilst recently in New York pur-
chasing goods, was absolutely beset by
confidence men. They went for him on
every corner, stopped him in the most
awkward places, and greeted him with the
most extraordinary cordially. The truth
is they worried him so that he left the city
a week sooner than he intended. Of course
there is nothing green or COMMUNICATING
about him.
THE BANNER BoAsTING.-The Nash
vile Banner, in recent issue, boosted that
100000 worth Of building had been done
in Nashville IN five months. over 5000, 900
worth has been done in Jackson since
January, and that much more will be done
before the end Of the year. In truth the
growth Of Jackson, for three years past, has
no parallel in the South. She bids fair TO
be the Southern Chicago.
MAMMOTH SAFE.-A mammoth Safe, of
the Hall Patent, for the new Sayings Bank
soon 10 be opened IN this City. arrived on
Monday and was placed in the vault of the
Bank building in Browns block, next door
to Kelly's. 1t weighed seven thousand
pounds, cost 81 SOC, and was hauled from
I . H,1r Il. 1,
yoke Of oxen.
60 to Jas. f. Walsh's for your CLOTH
ING. His stock is not surpassed in Jack
son.
soIKEE.-That was 4 pleasant, delightful
soiree given by Pref Allmon and his ex- |
cellent school on Wednesday eve. Prof |
AlImOn conducts such affairs with the /
finished touches of perfect gentleman.
AN EXTRAORDINARY INDICTMENT
Twenty-one persons-19 blacks and 2
whites-were indicted by the Grand Jury
last week for the murder, or being ace0sso-
ries TO the murder, Of John Hamilton West,
an account Of which apes red in the WING
AND TRIBUNE at the time. We never be-
fore heard Of so many persons indicted and
tried for the same offense, in Tennessee.
CHURCH DEDICATIoN.-A protracted
meeting will begin to-day, Saturday, on
the site Of sold Bascom Chapel" in the
10th District. On Sunday a new church
Just finished there, will be dedicated, Rev.
J. A. Heard, OF this City, officiating. The
Methodists Of that locality are proud of
their new church, and especially that 1t is
fully paid for.
THE JOYCE CAsE.-The trial Of Patrick
Joyce for the murder of James Wakefield,
case with which our readers are familiar,
closed and the verdict of the jury rendered
en- Friday evening the 10th. The verdict Of
the jury was that Joyce serve eight years
in the State Penitentiary. A motion for q
new trial was made by the Defendants
counsel. Campbell 81 McCorry, and will be
argued next week. =
IT SHOULD BE DONE.-The City au- I
thorities should, in our judgment, at once
broad fsot-walks from Shannon
Street, on both sides of Lafayette, to the {
Fair Grounds. Every consideration OF inter {
est demands this improvement. Besides, 8
the good name Of the City is involved in $
the matter. 1t is unnecessary to argue '
the importance OF this improvement, for !
the necessity Of it will be seen at once {
We hope the authorities will be prompt in
the matter, and we assure them In adj c
vance that such action will meet universal /
approval.
is He MAGICIANl-Therei is 3 young !
chicken rooster IN East Jackson that it is
impossible to cOntne in a coop. Regularly I
every night he is fastened up and as regu-
Iarly every morning, by daylight, he is
around in the yard. And he c
always gets out at the very same place, :
which is nightly nailed fast and doubly
by wires, etc. The coop is strong,
closely iOOred, strongly lattieed, and the
door securely fastened; yet, every morning
4 certain lattice, nailed and secured the
night before As above stated, is found loose '
and the rooster out. Now, how dees he
manage itl Is he magician or a spirit I
lalisti His performances are creating
profound sensation at all events, and some
hink he is possessed of 2 transmigrated
pirit from tbs 'heaptifai spirit land" Q
FREE SCHOoLs.-We regret to learn that ),
considerable opposition to the Free School =
system has developed itself in portions of A
'ur County. This is to be very much de- n
,lored, for harmony among the people is .,
essential to the success Of the school sys- :;
EN-. Many a great blessing has been I'M u
willingly received for time, and this is .,
me OF thsm. The scales of prejudice, how n
yer, will sooner or later fall from now n
suRdiced eyes, the veil OF Ignorance lifted .,
Up, and our Free Schools will stand forth :,
acknowledged by all SIS the social, political a
nd moral hope of the future. Superin- IT
endent Benz. r. Campbell, is doing noble \
work already in removing prejudices and :,
ducating the popular mind up TO the great 3
want Of the age-Education. He has de- y
lTered effective, convincing speeches in :,
everai districts where opposition had been -
developed, and we hope he will continue .,
he good werk. We were not disappointed :,
n him. He is emphatically the right man =,
n the right place.
