Whig and tribune. [volume] (Jackson, Tenn.) 1870-1877, 1873-05-10
Az HUrpREp IxoUIRIEs ANSWERED

We are AUTHORIZED 10 state that the money
subscribed in this city for the rebuilding oil
the Academy Of the Immaculate Coneep-
tion, will be applied to that purpose and
no other. The Academy may not be re-
built this year, but it win be rebuilt and on
the the most ms significant scale.
GET RICH WHILE You CAN.-The
Trustees Of the Public Library Of Ky, pro
pose to make somebody rich and many
people happy on the sth Of July next
They have sshalfa million" in cash to dis
tribute among their patrons. The money
is all in Bank and only waits the turning
OF the "Wheel Of Fortune" to find an
owner. As the time is near at hand and
the number Of tickets limited, those who
wish to buy tickets for the Concert must
order promptly.
CHARTERs.-The Chancery Court has
granted Charters to Bright's Female Semi
nary; to the Cotton Factory; to the Ameri-
can Safety Fish-bar joint Company, and TO
the Jackson and Birmingham Railroad
Company. The procurement Of these
Charters indicates a healthy feeling on the
part Of capitalists, and an intention 70
put their money where it will do the most
good" The Inauguration Of such schemes
has long been deemed necessity, and with
out them Jackson could not advance but
slowly towards the goal Of permanent pros
perity. Mr. Beecher once said, ''We must
educate or we must perish" and we say
we must manufacture or must perish. 1t |
is the only hope for our temporal saliva
ton. Let our people now contribute gen |
erously to sustain the hands Of our capital !
lists by a cordial spirit Of cooperation, and |
the future will be as bright as our hearts |
could desire.
| PUT THEM THROUGH.-Nst a Saturday,
or Zig day passes in this city but what
| stores are robbed Of goods and money. In
most cases these tbefts are committed by
| disreputable ne groes, who are encouraged
to repeat their oIense by the policy now
generally pursued Of "non-prosecution.'
The police frequently arrest the thieves,
but the merchants who have been robbed
almost invariably have them turned loose.
| Now so long AS this tender policy Is pur-
sued, robberies viii increase Such kind
ness has about as much effect on these GRIM
inals as the peace commissioners palayer
had on the MOdocs. The remedy Is IN
prompt and vigorous prosecution in every
instance. Put them through to the peni-
tertiary and this sort of thing, which has
become so common, will cease and not be-
fore.
A BOLD BIGAMIsT.-James w. Bradford,
whose very private marriage we announced
in our last issue, was arrested on Saturday
, charged with bigsmy and logged in jail 1t
seems that James some years ago married
/. one Martha Stout, and after she had borne
, him couple Of cloves sweetest pledges"
that is children-tired Of and Abandoned
/ her. After some three years separation
: James visiting his deserted wife occasion
. ally in the meantime-he concluded to mar.
: ~ a s.grass widow" by the name of Vinson
J To this his wife, it seems gave her consent,
: and James and the gushing widow were
; married by the Rev. John Brooks in this
a city, as stated last week. Bold James, ig
4 Rorant or defying the law, carried his ne"
G bride right into the old neighborhood where
{ his other wife lived. The result was-h6
was reported and arrested and jailed.
( A GALA DAT.-The annual May festi,
5 val was celebrated by Prof. Prewitt's sehoo
o at Pinson, on the End with appropriate
= ceremonies. A May Queen was crowned
: and full court appointed. Grace and beau
C tv, the music of merry hearts swelling
d from lips as sweet as loYe-made the hour
IS fly like dreams Of beauty. An elegan
n basket dinner, spread upon carpets of gras
t, and flowers, refreshed the joyous party
y noon, and innocent amusement seasoned
with conversation made the evening hour
i charming to all. As one Of the most inter
r esting features OF the occasion, we VIII
2 mention the art gallery of Miss Donn
Is Brooks, an assistant teacher in the academy
4. The pictures disptay'd were the works OF he
IS students, and were pronounced by compe
e tent critics meritorious in the highest degree
a. rejecting credit not only upon the pupils
ID but their fair teacher. We deeply regre
st that we were not present on the occasion
Id CIRCUIT COURT.-The docket Of tn
IN Circuit Court was called, and continue
ne over until Monday. Judge Black has al
y nounced his determination not to hsa
III causes unless Counsel on both sides shout
be present, which can not be, owing to col
lg flict with other Courts. The Grand Jur
