Of soap.
| On general principles, mind you, this
donation we regard as highly proper, sea
sonable, and In beautiful harmony with
the facts. The foresight OF SMITH & JAR
NAeIS-aniong the most liberal merchants
in JAekson-as displayed on the occasion
referred to, stamps them as men or COM
mendabIe prescience. The humanitarian
ism displayed by them as they analysed
the subject before them and provided the
anIidote, as pbilanthropists Of the first
order-and their profound and scieAtifc
knowledge Of the laws and necessities Of
nature a. illustrated in the presentation Of
that box Of soap, as biologists and chemists
Of transcendaut research.
They have q large supply Of tie same
soap in store and we are constrained to say
that no inconsidersble number Of our ac-
quaintance would be vastly purified by
using few bars Of il. Don't know but

NEW observation-disclosures TaymOn,
one Of the most successful Restaurant land
lords that Jackson ever knew, has opened \
new establishments under the Bank TX
change, opposite the Court-HOuse, on Main
street. For a SquGre meal, TaymOn's Res
taurant can't be excelled. In his new
quarters everything is after the most ap-
proved style and for neatness par excellent
His tables are so arranged that two persons
have a table to themselves, thus avoiding
crowding and other dissgreeable assOcia-
tons. The feed at TaymoR's is first class,
and we recommend the establishment to
our country friends.

MAILS IN HENDERSON COUNTY.-No
county In the State suffers more for want
Of efficient mail facilities than our neigh
boring county Of Henderson. From Jack
son to Lexington there should be Hack
line to carry the mail. The mail matter
sent from this office alone, is more than the
present mail contract calls for, and hence,
not only our paper, but others taken in
Henderson county, are frequently left in
the Jackson Office for weeks, and letters
alone reach Henderson county. A Hack
line between this City and Lexington can
alone remedy this evil, and steps should be
taken at once TO establish it. Besides,
lines radiating from Lexington to all parts
of Henderson county and the counties ad-
Joining should be established in connection
with the main Hack line from this City to
Lexington. We hope that the people of
Henderson county will back the efforts Of
the Reporter and the Wing aud Tribune,
in the effort to reform and increase the
mail facilities of that county.
IRISH PoTATOEs-Ofe every variety and
Of superior quality for planting, at

UTTERLY FALsE.-We learn that it is
currently reported in Henderson county
that there are 100 cases Of small pox in
Jackson. The alarm caused by this re-
port, no doubt, deters many from bringing
their cotton here, and diverts from this
city much valuable trade. We are at aloss
to account for this groundless report.
Whether the result Of inconsiderate fear
which gathers volume as it rolls, or the
natural disposition OF madam rumor,' TO
exegrate all things that savors Of sensation
or the malice of interested parties who
want to purchase the cotton OF Henderson
county at less than the market price, We do
not know. But we do know that the re-
port is utterly and even ridiculously false.
There never has been in Jackson more than
seven or eight cases Of small poX at one
time, and in every Instance these cases have
been isolated from the business thorough
fares of the city. 1t has been almost en-
tirely confined to the colered population,
and even that population has not suffered
much or been much frightened. No one is
in any danger Of contracting this disease
by visiting Jackson, for the reasons, first
there is not a single case Of small pOX but
what is eonvalesent in the city, and second
because no one except nurses and physi-
clans are permitted to enter the city hos
pital or any other private house contain
ing a small pOx patient. In truth there is
less danger in Jackson than in the country
around JaSkson, because here it is isolated;
and wise has been action taken 20 prevent its
spreading. In all candOr we again assure our
country friends that there j. no danger of
small pox by visiting Jackson, and that the
reports so industriously circulated In the
country are utterly false.

Oats, Of every approved variety, at

Do You GO TO THE RIGHT AND l WILL
GO To THE LEFT, ETC.-One day last week
there was rare scene and controversy in
this city, between a man and his wife who
had resolved to be twain. They were from
the sold North State,7 and the wife had re-
solved to return there with her father and
mother. They had . mutual child, or at
least so supposed, and as they couldn't
divide the chiId-the question Of right OF
possession was raised and agitated, equal
in volume and fury-to any Northwest or
East wind ever heard of. But just as mat
tiers were approaching focus, the venera-
BILE mother-in-law OF the chilGs father
made an abrupt debut upon the stage Of ac-
ton, and expounded the law of domestic
and marital rights as only a mother-in-law
can. With arms a-kim-bo, left foot well
advanced, head ebliquly thrown to the
right, and with a countenance brim full OF
legal lore and mother-in-law eloquencs, she
detained thusly: "Sar, Ito the covering
sou-in-law) you dars to claim dis child
Sar, it is a gal child and OBJ course belongs
TO its nanny. Sar, de fifteenth amend
ment gives gal children to dare mammys
What right has men to de gal children
Sar, gals are gals, and women is women
and as gals sometimes become women
darefore gal children belong to dar mother'
who are women. Sar, from de days o
Adam and Eve down to dis blessed dispen.
sation Of fifteenth amendment and credit
mobers, gals have been de children Of dal
mothers. Adam slept very seundly wher
Eve was taken from his side, but wheT
Eve became living being she stirreC
Adam up, ''you bet" and oh! If poor Ev,
had only had a mother-in-law, no vile ser
pent would have been necessary to make
Eden lively and Adam the cowsrdly morta
he proved to be. Sar, git out" and with
| this she raised 4 dilapidated umbrella ovel
/ her shrinking son-in-law; looked mother
| in-law daggers Of the first damaskian steel
| and Of course he "vamOosed.' And thu
the mother cot her gal child and went OF
her way rejoicing-And thus the husband
went to the right, while the wife went t.
| the left.
