THE JOYCE TRIAL.-This trlal is still
: occupying tho attention Of the Court as we
90 TO press. The State has finished its evil
denee and the defense have opened theirs,
and the case will probably be given to the
jury on Saturday (to-day.) 1t is exciting
considerable interest, and the AttOrnies on
.4ther side are displaying eommendable
ability. The following gentlemen compose

D. c. Spencer, ~. J. Biggs, j. b. sheitsn,

| ON BAIL VIM. Lyons, indicted for kill
ing Jack Perry in November last, was ad-
mitted to bail on Tuesday in bond Of $500.
The bond was promptly given and Lyons
released from custody. 1t will be remem
bered that Lyons was convicted at the
Spring Term of the Circuit Court and SEN
fenced to ten years in the penitentlary.
Campbell & McCorry, his attorneys-ap-
peaIed to the Supreme Court for new
trial, and it was granted. On coming up
TO this Court the State was not ready and
hence the case was postponed, Lyons being
admitted to bail as above stated.
GETTING READY.-A special session OF
the Supreme Court, it will be remembered,
convenes in this City on the 9Th Of October,
for the purpose of hearing the Memphis
Law and Equity Deokets. Quite NUM-
Der Of lawyers are already in the City pre-
pairing their Briefs and getting ready Tor
work. We hope the Court will be able 10
get through with these Dockets ut the
special term, so as to take up and dispose
of the Country Dockets at the next regular
session in April.
ARM BRoKEN.-Our handsome young
friend Henry II. Brltton, Of Denmark, got
his left arm broken between the wrist and |
elbow, on Sunday evening last, thusly. He
was riding in buggy with DR.. Morgan,
ana leading his horse, and while going |
down slant IN the road his horse jerked |
pack Violently breaking his arm as above |
stated. However, barring a severe pain, |
his wounded limb is doing well.
RouGH.-A Policeman on Tuesday night |
had aA awful time Of it arresting an OBJ
strepulous citizen who was a little booty.
One Of his brother officers came to his as
sistance, and between them they got their
prisoner to the Station-House. However,
IN locking him up one of the Policemen
was also locked up, which was roHgh
joke, and not very highly appreciated by
the unfortunate officer thus incareerated.
EDITORS WING AND TRIBUNE: no.
ticed in one of your issues recently, about
a Mr.. Gregory picking 21O pounds of cot
ten. Ii he had knewn how little that was
he would not have published it. There
lives two young men in the vicinity Of
Spring Creek, by names J. c. and E. Ii.
Goodrich, Jr., who picked $40 and 3O6 lbs.
on the 18th inst, and very thin cotton at
that. Now, if Mr.. Gregory wishes to boast
any more, he must not stop under 400 lbs;
and if he is not satisfied with that we viii
meet him on halfway ground, and ] dare
saw he will go back home feeling his head
to see if his hair is not all picked out. The
cotton picked was in the time specified in
your issue. b. o. Il
RosH HAsHANA.- Monday next is the
Jewish Rosh Hashana, or new year. Ac-
eording to the Jewish calendar, it is the
fst of Tfshri, which corresponds to our
22d Of September, and is the 1884 year OF the
world. Ten days from Monday, the End Of
October, is JON Kippur, or day OF atone
ment. JONI Kippur is the sabbath Of
ssbbaths," day that every lsraelite in the
world no matter where he may be-keeps
holy. The new year is observed as holiday
day Of rejoicing and feasting. The day oil
atonement as a solemn fast ana day OF
prayer. On this latter day, every Jew con-
fesses his sins, asks forgivness of the Father
and makes friends with all his enemies
They hold that their sins will not be for
given unless they forgive others, or in 9TH
Ell words, unless they come to the altar
with hearts free from hate or malice
These days will be duly observed by our
Jewish fellow-eitizens.
MovING-Our streets are died with
building material, and the sound Of the
trowel and hammer fills the air. Jackson
IS certainly moving on to greatness. In
deed, in the way of improvements she has
no rival South Of the Ohio river. Pros
porous now beyond the most extraYagant
expectations, and with future growing
in brightness and promise daily, what can
stay herl
MOBILE, ALIAS good cotton mar
ket, Mobile has deservedly attracted atteu-
ton since the war, aud we feel sure in stat
ing that transactions with the cotton fac
tors of that city gave more than ordinary
satisfaction during the past season to cur
dealers here. Mobile has direct connection
with Jackson, and fIeights have been re
duced in order to command and hold trade.
Prominent among the cotton factors Of
Mobile, no names stand higher than those
of Allen, West & Co. These gentlemen
are ready for an immense business this fall,
and their card in this issue Of the Wing
and Tribune shows that wide awake men
know where 10 anchor, so as TO catch the
public eye.
JEWISH CEMETERY.-On "Wednesday, IN
company with Mr.. j. Samuels, we visited
the Jewish Cemetery, located in the South
east portion of the City, at the foot Of
Middle Avenue and on the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad. It Is small but handsomely
enclosed, and entered by a beautifully
arched gate, elegantly ornamented. The
ground was but recently purchased by Mr..
Samuels, and everything thus far in regard
