ment and Of blowing the trumpet, the
Sabbath of sabbaths; and was generally
observed by them in this city.
SUNDAY DRIvEs.-Our Fair Grounds

late the Sabbath in that way, unless offered
free ride in a fine buggy behind two
forty roadster.

ton for District Consta lie held IN this

Price, aged lG, picked BOG pounds, and
Moilie, aged IA, picked 1914 pounds. They
arc the sons and daughter of Jas. A. Price,

to beat these figures.
TAKE CARE.-If a certain married
man Of this city, whose moral and re-
ligious standing is very high, don't cease
his visits to the demi- monde Of the city,
getting "high," INDUCING in disgusting
street familiarities and disoraerly conduct

A REMARKABLE FACT.-The Odd Eel
lows Lodge ut Humboldt consists of about
one hundred members, and was organized
in 1866. Since that time, the death of Mr..
Jas H. Clark, which occurred on Friday,
18th ult., is the first death among the menu
beers Of tbst lodge since It's organization.
MERITED CoMBLIMENT.--Th Browns
vile Bee, in its last weeks issue, paid the
Jackson Silver Cornet Band q high and
deserved compliment The boys had just
been RECALLING the citizens of Brownsville
with choice music, and hence the comph
ment. We feel confident that wherever
our band plays once they will be invited to
do so again when occasion offers, for there
is none better in the State.
AL UP.-Au the demi monde of our
dashing city interviewed his honor the Re
eorder on Monday. AS one of the happy
results of the interview, the city treasury
received donation of SEQ. His honOr's
specs never looked brighter or more digni
fed than on this rare, rich and racy occa-
sion. sit were worth ten years Of ordina-
nv life" TO have seen him, if but for mo-
ment.s
BRIDGE DOwN.-Two miles north of the
city, near the residence of Mr.. John II.
Freeman on the Trenton road, the bridge
across an ugly branch Is down, and loaded
wagons cannot reach the city by that road.
cotton is thus prevented from
reaching our market, and citizens who live
along or near that road are seriously in
and in fact, injured in
pocket. Let the bridge be rebuilt at once.
This is no time to delay such matters.
CIRCUIT CoURT.-The Circuit Court ad-
iourned on Monday, having disposed Of a
large number of cases. The criminal dock
ct was unusually large and interesting, and
much Of 1t passed over to the next term.
Forty-four true bills were returned by the
grand Jury, which is comparatively a small
number. Our old friend S. W. Boon, was
at his post during the entire session of the
court, working both early and late, faithful
to every duty and always on time.
sCARcE.-Never "within the memory of
the oldest citizen" have squirrels been so
scarce in this section as the present year.
In fact, there has not been any in the mar
ket at all up to This time. Even our "squIr-
rel stews," during the Summer, were made
with chickens. Some contend that sQuir-
rels are migratory. and that they will in
the Fail be found travelling in one direc-
ton. and if so we hope they will be tray
slli'.s this way soon, for we are real squir-
rel hungry.
ON THE WAR PATH. "A "female wO-
man" Of this city, whose husband is ''non
est inventus," donned mems clothes and
took the war-path on Monday night, TO re-
yenge herself and lord on certain parties
against whom they hal serious grievances.
She besieged their castle, opened fierce
with bricks and eyerlast-
iBgly d. dyed the garrison. one of the
bcsieged. At least, was seriously wounded
and the others have not been heard from,
having gone fishing It is supposed. She
went fishing, too, on Tuesday, and the po
lice. who are very anxious to Interview
the parties, know not where they are. If
a certain quarter of south east Jackson
could speak. 4 tale 1t would unfold and
this mystery make clear.
