LIVERY WORD Notwithstanding {
the damages experienced by our friend j. I
NJ. Reayis when the Grinberg block Durheu
last Fall. he has now a finer and larger
stock of Stoves, Tinware, etc., than ever
Reayis' Stoves and Crates are unsurpassed
and have ALWAYS been found fully up 10
his recommendations, while as a mAhulao-
turer Of Tinware, he has, perhape no equai
in the the city. His work never lalls U
recommend itself, and those who patrohi%e
him once will do so again. We make THESE
stasemcnts with pleasure-for as useiui'
worthy citizen and man Of business, MI
Reavis fully deserves them. Our readers
will find'it to their interest to read his eAru
in another column, and examine his stocA
when they wish to purchase.
A NEW DEPARTURE.-We are sralhsu
10 state that the Mobile and Ohio shop en- |
plovecs, Of this City, received their last
months wages in CASH instead Of war
rants AT thirty days, as has heretofore been
the custon. This departure from the old
system is highly credItable 10 the company
,vbi lie IL Is a material blessing 70 their faith
/ ful laborers This evidence Of the pros
peritv Of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, the
| first road that was built to our City, and
one for which this paper has labored un-
ce,sfncly from the time it was first mooted
nm to the present hour, is, we repeat, high
~ gratifying TO Us, and we may add 10 lhe
entire population OF Jackson.
A SEVERE BLow.-On Wednesday eve
,,iro in 'front.' of the Bank Exchange Saloon,
on Main street, Capt. Pete williamson oil
Cotton Grove, struck Mr. John Bo"les
with a stick on the right side of the head
Knocking him down and infiicting very
severe wound. The difficulty grew out OF
law suit between a Mr.. Lane and Frank
Rumpass, in which Williamson and Bowles
were witnesses. Williamson was arrested
and fined by the city authorities, and then
arrested for assault and battery by the
sheriff. tried before Esq. Cockren and
hound ovor to Court Bowles is an old
l man and a new conner to this county.
No INDIAN THERE.-It is quite certain
than Indians have no soul. We reason
: tbusly: DIR. Hull, an eminent spirItualist
after hours Of incantation, after appealing
with all the Eerce carnestness Of Man
fred. and rushing around certain rsoH
N certain residence in this city, Ike
Priest or Priestess of the old heather ages
: utterly failed to call one from Inc Nas'l
deep Of the spirit-land. And hence WI
/ conclude that there are no IndidnS in TN
4 shirt land. Now this is consolins; for W
Il were really afraid that Indians were IN tn
/ "beautiCul spirit land" wherever that ma.
r he. and that they had not abandoned thel
il constitutional idiosyncrisy for soaps
e Hence our fears, and hence our suprem
. delight at DIR. Hulls wonderful discovery
ID THE I,ECTURE.-r The lecture of DIR. Hal
&c mon, Of New orleans, in Tomlin's Han o
ne Tuesday nj .,ht, was well attended, althouS
he the night was dark and rainy. We neV'
heard the subject of intemperance handle
with more power and effect. No class
:. society. no institution or calling, howev,
n biqh. escaped the Doctors terrible arraig
ment. With eloquCnce and striking lllu
trations full OF power, he traced e'ei
head of the vast river of intemperanc
The Doctor is an able lecturer and seems

INT ture of Temperance.
