The yellow fever panic has entirely sub

for any excitement, as the cases we have
had came here from Memphis, two Of whom
died and the other two are about well. Sc

At Humboldt.

We spent Saturday last at Hum
boldt, one of the most fourishing of
West Tennessee cities, and We're graf
fled too see the evidences of improve
ment which met US on every hand.
While Humboldt is the youngest, she
is one of the most progressive cities
in Tennessee. Her business men are
enterprising and aggressive, and fully
imbued with the spirit of the times.
In another column we publish Hum
bOldt directory, which viii prove in
teresting to all who deal in that city
or have business transactions with
her merchants. The directory re-
ferred to contains the names, bust
ness and location of most of the lead
ing firms, all of whom we do most
cordially recommend to our readers.
With such men to pilot her fortunes
through the seas of commerce, Hum
boldt can but have bright and sue
cessful career.

Brown, EnIoe 4 bullock.

This firm has added strong name
to its membership. Mr.. Enloe twice
represented Carroll county in the
Legislature, and although he had
just passed his majority, he stood de-
servedly high as an able, faithful and
honest man. His legal attachments
are of the first order, he, having grad
uated at Lebanon with first honors.
There is no better craftsman than
Jno. L. Brown, and he watches his
Clients interest with proverbial vigi
lance. Mr.. Bullock is a "born law
yer" having inherited much of the
legal acumen and skill of his distin-
guished father. In short the firm is
entitled to a large share of public con-
lidence, and will doubtless secure it
in the shape of numerous clients and
fees.

ANDERSON BROS.

A peep through this live house is
good for the sore eyes, and cheering
to one depressed by financial failures,
bank suspensions, and the downward
tendency of cotton. We have not
seen a better selected stock of Goods
in Jackson since the war, and we
know that it has been bought with
special regard to the trade of this sec
ton. Mr.. Jas. W. Anderson went in
person to the Eastern markets, and
availed himself of the privileges and
advantages always offered to first
class dealers.
In this house is to be found, Maj.
S. ID. Barnett, one of the best and
most obliging statesmen in Jackson,
and whose thorough understanding
of the business peculiarly fits him to
please all customers upon whom he
may wait. If you want new and
beautiful prints, domestics of every
brand, clothing of the best quality,
and in short a complete outfit for
winter, just call upon Anderson Bros,
who will always be glad to serve you.

The human body is a machine, and therefore
cannot endure forever; but like watch or a
sewing machine, it will last much longer i,
properly regulated and duly repaired than if
no pains were taken 10 keep it in order The
great object Of every one desires long and
healthy life should be to put his bsdy in a con-
dftion to resist the life threatening influences
by which We are all more or less surrounded;
and no invigOrsnt and corrective at present
known so effectively answers this purpose as
the vitalizing elixir which, under the UMPIRE
tending name of Hostetter's stomach Bitters,
has been for more than twenty years the STAN
dard tonic Of America. In crowded cities,
where the atmosphere is contaminated with
the efluvia inseparable from large populations /;
in marshy regions, where the soggy soil reeks
with miasma; on the prairies and IN the for
ests, where every fall the air is tainted with
exhalatiOns from rOtting weeds and grasses. or
decOmpOsing leaves-in short, in every locality
where malaria exists, this powerful vegetable
antidOte is urgently needed. Fever and ague.
bilious fevers, dysentery, congestion OF the
liver, jaundice, rheumatism, and all diseases
which are generated by infected air, impure
water, or sudden changes Of temperature, may
be averted by strengthening and regulating
the system in advance with Hostetter's Bitters.
Autumn is always a season of peril, especially
70 weak, susceptible organizations. Even the
more vigorous are apt 70 be in some measure
depressed by the humid atmosphere, loaded
with deleteriOus gases produced by vegetable
decay. The fall is a period OF he year when
the renovation ana regulation Of the living
machine is peculiarly important, and the Bit
tiers should therefore be taken daily at this
critical season. Oct4-lm.

Yellow Fevor in Memphis.

Taking the city papers as a guide,
we think there has been a vast a
mount of useless skadadling, and any
quantity of useless talk about the
prevalence Of Yellow fever in Mem
phis. We have given the daily NOR
tuary list for the last two weeks, as
given officially in the papers, and
shall continue to do so, as long as the
disease prevails. Last Friday, Sept.
26th, there were fourteen deaths from
Yellow fever; on Saturday there were
tweAty-one deaths; on Sunday there
were sixteen; and on Monday there
were seventeen deaths of the disc ase;
on Tuesday there were fourteen
deaths; and on Wednesday there were
fifteen. Our paper goes to press be-
fore the arrival of the mail ON Friday,
giving the number of deaths Thurs

How far the commercial panic may
affect our railroad projects should be
seriously considered. Jackson needs
other railroads than those which now
minister to her wants, and We are al
ready told that several roads, in the
course of construction, have been
stopped for the lack of funds. 1t is
alleged that the cry of "down with
monopolies" has borne bitter fruits.
Capitalists in Europe have been
frightened by it, and have ceased to
advance money to be invested in
Western and Southern securities
Prominent railroad men foresaw this
result, but were powerless to'aVert it,
and the end is, suspension of work,
reduction of pay-rolls and the
throwing out of employment of a
large number of hands who have no
other means of subsistence.
The Locomotive works in the
East are Diminishing men by the hun
dreds, and car-shops will be forced
into similar economy" Rolling mills
and iron furnaces will also be heavy
losers. If it be true, then, that the
war upon railroads has driven off the
friends of corporations, which are
powerful and rich, is it not almost
certain that our pet railroad projects
must inevitably languish for the want
of money to foster, sustain and build
them? 1t may be that farmers in the
Northwestern States have destroyed
the goose that laid the golden egg"
aud that with cribs of corn rotting
for purchasers, they will starve the
workingmen of our cities, and fore
close the mortgages on their own
farms. Without foreign capital but
few of our railroads could have ever
been built, and that is not a wise
policy which refuses to propitiate the
god-who, alone, is sufficient
for our temporal salvation. We should
understand that money in large sums
seeks a safe investment at low rate
of interest rather than a hazardous
one at high rate, and we must not
expect capitalists to build up, at
enormous cost, an enterprise for us,
which we will in turn labor to cripple
if not destroy. Let the roads cease
their exactions upon farmers, and let
farmers look upon railroads, badly
managed as many of them are, rather
as blessing than a curse. There
ought to be just and happy medi-
um, a common plane on which all can
stand. If such a policy is pursued
we may induce capitalists to spend
their money in our behalf, and put
new life into the skeleton railways
that drag their unseemly lengths
across the face of our country. At
this time the South can hardly hope
to push to early completion very
many of her projected and much
needed lines, and that policy is to be
deprecated which precipitates war
between corporations and the people
who are to derive untold benefits by
and out of their construction.

Last Sunday.

Was muddy, sloppy and drippy
A great many people-especially Ia
dies-in going to the various churches
in the city, had to cross Main street
between the Presbyterian church and
r. H. ARderson's corner. Upon the
public footway about II o'clock Sat
urday that miserable "Pub Func''
who has charge of the street re-
pairing, caused two or three wagon
loads of brisk bats to be deposited,
and there they remained through the
whole of Sunday, and until afternoon
Monday, greatly to the detriment and
and discomfort of pedestrians. The
inverted blessings heaped upon the
head of the author of this piece of
imbecility or wickedness, during the
Sabbath, were enough, if they had
specific gravity, to sink him forever
from public sight.

The Extensive Carriage,

MANDATORY.

OF Lands & BURNELL, are turn.
ng out large amount of first class work
every week. Their business has greatly in
creased, and they will doubtless be CON-
PEELED to make q further enlargement Of
their establishment The reason is obvi-
oHs-TheIr work always gives Sat-
IsfactiOn, and when they sell to one man
in locality, they draw the trade of that
section. Their repairing department is al
so on the increase, as they invariably guar
antee their work, and employ none but
first class mechanics.
This establishment is q credit to the city,
and we hope that it viii continue to pros
per. The citizens Of adjoining counties
would do well to examine the work of this
extensive establishment before sending

Last Saturday there was an cleo
ton in Nashville, for Mayor. There
we're two candidates, Thomas A.
Kercheval, incumbent, Republican,
and Il. J. Morris, ex-MayOr, demo-
crat. Kercheval was elected, beat
ing Morris sos votes. They were
rival candidates a year ago, but
Morris attributed his defeat 70 the
presence of a third candidate of his
own party, who received over 900
votes. This result, if 4 party test,
is not very favorable to the demo
cratic cause in our capitol city
Kereheval says, however, that he
does not attribute his election to
party, but to an approval of his
past administration.

IA The failure of Jay Cooke &
Co.-the first brick in the row
was for a little over 81, 100000; and
the Assets they have to pay with
amount to about s15,OOO,OOO-but
these assets consist of stocks in rail-
roads, mines and manufactures,
and are perhaps worth twenty-five
cents on the dollar-perhaps more
than half of them not worth as
much as ten cents to the hundred
dollars. 1t is no matter of aston
ishment to any one, when we come
to reflect upon it, that such men,
thus recklessly engaged in a reck-
less and rascally attempt to bore
auger holes with q gimlet, should
miserably fail in business. 1t would
be cause for marvel if they did
not fail.

STATE OF Mississippi,
EXECUTIVE OFFICE
The accompanying official opinion
of the AttOrn .y-General Of the State
Is published for the consideration and
guidance of the executive civil author
tiles Of the several counties.
The chief executive is firmly con-
WINGED after the most full cOnsulta-
ton with the Acknowledgement and
leading members of the bar in various
portion OF the State, and after the most
anxious reflection upon the grave sub
iect here discussed by the Attorney
General that his opinion is correct,
and that according to the constitution
no election should be held in this
State until November, 1874, when
members of Congress and all the
State and county officers viii be elect
ed together and the double and IN
necessary expense of annual elections
avoided for all future time. Ii Is the
purpose of the Executive to assemble
the two houses of the Legislature at
an early day in extraordinary session,
that they may provide by appropriate
| legislation for the general election TO
be held on the Tuesday after the first
Monday in November, 1874 lie
therefore appeals to the people of all
parties and enjoins it upen all the
! officers of the State and of the several
counties to aid him in carrying into
practical effect the provisions of the
constitution bearing on this impOr-
tant subject.

The FAN Fair-A New Feature.


The Fairs IN Europe are places Of
barter and sale as well as meetings for
the exhibition of products, stock,
and manufactured articles. The peo-
pie attend them in great crowds from
all the country for miles around, Ia
king with them their surplus, for
barter or trade. Thus in Europe
Fairs are a double blessing, eucour-
aging enterprise and skill, while at
the same time they offer unequalled
facilities for the exchange or sale of
products, stock etc. We learn
through a communication in another
column from Maj Hurt, Pres't. of the
West Tenn. Agricultural and Mechan-
zeal Association, that this plan which
| the wisdom of centuries approves,
will be to some extent a permanent
feature of our Fairs in this city. A
I number of the best breeders in Ken
lucky aud Middle Tenn. have signif-
ed their intent to be here on the 28th
with herds of thoroughbred aud gra-
ded cattle, hogs, sheep and horses,
all of which will be offered at public
sale each day of the Fair, thus afford.
ing the people of West Tenn. unequal
facilities for improving their stock.
We are highly pleased with this fea-
tare, and hope that it will not only
become permanent, but will be so en-
larged as to embrace everything ex-
hibited. Should such be the case,
our Fairs might hold ten instead Of
five days, in no wise decreasing in in
terest to the close. The action of the
President and Directors in this matter
is additional evidence of the superior
ability with which they are conduct
ing the affairs of the Association over
which they preside, and at once pla-
ces our Fair ahead of any in the State,
in interest and in practical good. In
deed so many evidences. all pointing
to the same fact, are coming daily to
hand, that the meeting this Fall in
Jackson will surpass all others in gen.
sral interest, we feel justified, in adj
vance, in proclaiming the Jackson
Fair second only to st. Louis, in the
South or West. Let our people,
we mean all the people of West
Tennessee, do their duty, and see tc
it that West Tennessee does not suf.
fer by comparison with other sections
or States ON that occasion. And pso
pie of Madison, men and women, re,
member what you have at stake, and
don't be caught sleeping on duty"
