Whig and tribune. [volume] (Jackson, Tenn.) 1870-1877, 1874-04-04

day last, was small, but the speeches
Messrs. Snipes ind Gladney, OF this cit
were listened To- with marked attentio
and their eloquent thoughts fell into nc
soil, and will yet I1ring forth good fruit
the interest Of the South Western Unive
sity. The character Of the people Of Il
Pinson country for Intelligence and jud
cious lIbeTality, is de seryedly very hig
and we feel every assurance that they wi
in due time do their duty IN this importar
matter. Owing to the smallness Of III
crowd, no subscription was taken up, bu
a feeling OF profound interest was arouse
By the distinguished sPezkres and step
taken 10 work up liberal donation.
4 FAIR WARNcG--Thcrc are 4 fey
! youths in this city who are blasting ther
! characters and bringing their parents {
uAutterabIe grief, by frequenlIng bawd,
/ houses and carousing wi Ia abandoned wo
men. They are mere boys, and hence tn
vital danger Of such evil association
Their parents and the Mayor have ex
hausted persuasion in their behalf, an,
now the Mayor is determined to enforce tn,
law vigorously. Unless they cease theil
disgraceful conduct the y will be arrested
and exposed. Painful as such a courss
will be to Us, we will not longer suppress
their names in Publishing the police To
ports. Boys be warned in time, we mean
what we say.
HESDEEsON.-The speaking az Hender-
son on Saturday, resulted in a fine subscrip-
tion for the South Western University.
The Rev. DR.. Hendriakson and Messrs.
Robt. Haynes and II. c. Anderson, Of this
city, were the speakers. Their efforts were
highly appreciated and literally eulOgIsed.
A gentleman who was present informs US
that he seldom ever listened t. more enter
tanning aud instructive addresses. The
people Of Henderson are amsRg the most
refined and intelligent in the county, and
their subscription was general and liberal.
CHaMrION NILLs.-For want OF capital
1 am compelled to do n Cash business.
From and after this date all orders paya-
bic on delivery, in consequence OF which
have reduced prices
B.. F. BOND.
TINE Is MoSEY.-That time is money,
is fast becoming 4 living realization in the
minds Of our people, and this we regard Us
one Of the most hopeful auguries OF our
future. Men are learning to economist
time, and:fully TO perceive that it is crirni-
nal to waste il. We were inrcibly remind
ed Of this fact 4 few days since, when we
stepped into the jewelry establishment OF
Mr.. H., in order 10 adjust our watch. We
wanted to so or on the Central train, and
Mr.. Hughes pointed US to a very elegant
chronometor which told the exact time ac-
cording to the tables Of the road. Another
indicated the time on the Mobile road, and
thus the possibility Of mistakes on the part
of persons desiring TO take a train in any
direction is obyiatcd.
"THE WEED" 1t has long been evident
that the real wants OF the people were not
fully met by any OF the sewing machines,
yet thrown upon the market. The proprie-
tors Of the Weed Company applied them
selves to remedy the Deficiencies complained
IF, and TO furnish a Machine that would
supply the requisites lacking in all the
others. So far as we have been able to
earn the great difficulty complained Of
vas this: When machine had been ad-
listed to do one kind OF work, change
vas necessary in order TO that it might per-
orm any other. With the Weed, 70 such
hange or adjustment is necessary. 1t ex-
cutes work OF every description from the !
most delicate fabrics, TO the heaviest goods, |
md its general capacity for work is une-
.ualled by any other machine in use. If |
ny one has doubt upon the point sug- |
ested. 90 to Robt. Hamilton d Co.'s De- !
'ot, No. 5, Main street, and it will be /
ispelled by an inspection of ''the Weed"
CLAYBRoOK-T There is no community
f people In Madison county more alive to
he interest Of the county than the people
f Claybrook and vicinity. They are an
Intelligent and a liberal people, who look
eyond their own immediate sky, and APP
reciate the fact that the waves Of fortune
re not bounded by narrow limits, or local
hores. They understand that every
hing that benefits Jackson, also benefits
Iadison county, and they act accordingly.
% Illustration Saturday last Mr.. b. A.
inloe, OF this city, addressed them on the
ubject of locating the South Western Uni
ersity in Jackson. His address was brill
ant and comprehensive, replete with solid
rgument and pointed illustrations. 1t
7as learned and eloquent, and the people
( that section responded with commenda.
lie liberality. Their subscription to the
will reach when complete over
1000. In addition to this they sent up
plendid club of subscribers to the Wing
nd Tribune, for which they have our
.rateful acknowledgements.
CATCHING TIE TRAIN.--Some days ago,
nd not far from jackson, q short gentle
nan with ample breadth of waistcOat.
hort neck, red face and barefooted on the
Op of his head, stood upon the platform of
certain depot, valise in hand, conversing
ally while the train stood hard by. Short
= the Conductor cried call aboard" and
he train moved quickly away. The short
fingered too long talking, but
etched out vigorously to catch the train
5 the last car glided past. Missing the
ailIng he struck out in the middle of the
rack Mt 4 furious Face to oyertake the !
rain. The speed of the train increased,
nd so did the speed of the short gentle
nan, the latter putting louder than the en-
,ine. At the lower end Of the yard, where
he road entered a field, was 4 eattle-gap |
illed with muddy water. Across this
attic gap the train swiftly passed, and just
IS the last car went over the short gentle
nan reached for the railing of the rear
PLATFORM. In an instant over the gap went
he last ear and into its muddy waters
vent the short gentleman-hat, valise, and
N. When fished out he was a pltiable
light; not angry, but little agitated we
ire sure.
4 CHEERFUL BARBER.-We were re-
emily shaved by remarkably cheerful
barber. lie was extremely short and OK
remedy fat, aud hustled about, putting and
blowing like a small tug-bost at business
wharf. lie was powerful in conversation
md startlingly expert in the grand flour
shes Cf his profession. During the shave
he entertained US with charming stories Of
sudden deaths, suicides and murders, all
If which had happened under his own OBJ
iervatien. He then gave US an animated |
ketch OF his own wild career-hOw he had
it. bled and died in personal encounters
low he had once dissipated unto reckless
one dark night, he stood on a
bridge that spahned dark, rushing river,
with quart ticker in each pocket, con-
emplating suicide by dTownng-how he |
lad meditated on the easiest mode Of |
'shoyeling or this mortal COLL" and had
gone so far as to entertain notions OF ex-
on few Of his friends before
olungiug in himself-how he meditated on 1
he ease Of death by cutting the jugular |
with keen razor, and had determined, at |
'Re time, when a good opportunity offered,
