possible to wake hun up.

HER BLEssINGs.-An old fashioned col
ored lady tore her Sunday dress on ono Of
our gymnnstic sidewalks the other day, |
and with more yigor than elegance eX-
pressed her opinion of our City .'dads."-
She examined the rent in her "bcst gar
ment" and then left her blessing on all who
had anything TO do with "them nasty
walks The truth is, some Of our side
walks provoke very large amount Of IN
side cussing" and voiceless impiety, to say
nothing Of the amount "said out in meet
ing"
SrEAKNG.-Th Hon. +. S, or more
properly the Hon. Jolly Rogers, will adj
dress the citizens of Jackson at the Court
House on Monday night. Subject this
Mundane Sphere in the aggregate and in
dctail-spaec in general and particular and
mankind collectively, subjeettvely and in
dividually. Prof. 1. Walker, the great air
perambulator, will be there and steer
jolly in his aerial flights. 1t will be
grand occasion, Let Jackson show her ap-
probation of genius by packing the house.
SCARCITY OF COOKs.-Wo hear great
about the difficulty OF hiring
and keeping good cooks. Now this trouble
among house-keepcrs don't disturb us
bit. We are never without a cook at our
house. In ia t, we luXuriate in the pos
session OF two, sometimes three, and they
never ''get their backs up" and threaten to
leave. And we are Of the opinion that if
there was less silly, sycophantic imitation
and aping Of purely imaginary aristOcra-
ey, and more downright, old fashioned
man and womanhood, there would be less
about servants and more indie
pendence. In short most every family
would have cooks.
THE FINEST IN THE ,CTY.-Kunz &
McKinlay have opened the finest Restau-
rant and Beer saloon, in the elegant base
ment Of the Perkins Block, corner Of La
fayctte and Market Streets, ever seen in
jackson. Their Bar is supplied with tine
Wines and Liquors rs well as Beer. The
Beer department will be conducted in
regular City style Meals and lunch at all
hours, ranging in price from l5c to 50, and
embracing everything the market affords.

FASTING AND pRAYER.-To-day Friday,
Is being observed throughout the City as
day of fasting and prayer, Tor the benefit Of
our deeply suffering sister. city OF Mem
phis. The pastors ef all our Churches
united in requesting our citizens to observe
the day. All the Churches are open and a
Union Prayer Meeting is being held in the
First Methodist Church. The colored
Churches arc also participating in the good
work. The prayers Of the righteous avail
eth much.
A SMALL CONFLNGHATION.-Ab three
O'Clock Friday morning an old twO-story
frame house near the Railroad crossing be-
longing to the BigIow estate was discovered
to be on fire. 1t burned rapidly and was
soon a heap OF ashes. Cesar Washington
and Anthony Hurt had shoe shop IN Que
room Of the building. They lost their awl
The building was not worth over $500.
No insurance.
A GREAT CHANCE There are several
thousand bales Of cotton in store in this !
city. Every gin house in this and adjoin-
ing counties is full, awaiting the opening
OF the market. Week after week has pass
ed and still there is no substantial improve
ment in msAey matters so far as Jackson is
concerned. There is, in plain words, no
money here TO move the cotton. The same |
is true Of all the towns around us. What |
cotton is selling fer currency brings from |
three to four cents less than the market |
value. Hence we say there is great !
chance right here for buyers with currency
to realize fine profits. Who will avail
themselves of the grand opportunity.
THE NEW RESTAURANT. -MessrS. Payne

opened first class restaurant under the
Bank Exchange, opposite the court house,
