MAD.-Mr. James Z. Karr, OF FInson, is
mad. In fact he is the maddest man we ever
heard Of. Last week our Pinson correspoR-
dent mildly reported that said Mr.. harr and
somebody else had INDUCED in a small fight and
now MIR. Karr writes long and furious
letter in which he airs all the adjectives in the
English language; denies that he had any eight,
and talks ominously about slandcrers, etc. We
informed our correspondent Of all this and he
promptly replied As folaws:
Prison, Tenn. March 2ith, Is74.
1IessTs. Editors:
Yours OF I'D inst. 10 hand.
The statement referred 10 was correct, and Mr..
karr paid some eight dollars fne and cost.
RETIRED.-Our esteemed fullow-citizen,
Dir. A. B. Langford, after many years sue
cessful labor IN our midst as an artist, has
been compelled on account Of his health,
to retire from the profession he has so long
adorned. lie is succeeded by Messrs. ID. f.
McClintOck nd Charlie &. COnger. It is
due Mr.. Langford to say, that he always
stood at the head OF his profession in Jack
son, and that in his retirement, he carries
with him the warmest and best wishes OF
the community. His Gallery has long been
an ornament to the city, and If his success
sors sustain its reputation, they will de-
serve well OF the city. We hope Mr.. Lang
ford will resume his profession, or em-
bark in other business in our midst before
great while. At all events, he has our
best wishes for present and future happi-
ness and prosperity.
TIE VISIT OF THE COMMISSIONERS The
Commissioners charged with The location Of the
Lunatic Asylum for West Tennessee, were in
the city on Thursday, and spent the day in
specting some Of the tracts Of land rendered
by the county as sites for the location of the
Asylum. Several tracts, very beautiful and
suitable ones at that, were entirely overlooked
by the Commissioners. We learn that they
will meet in Humboldt on Saturday next,
and decide on the county, and that then they
will carefully inspect all the tracts rendered by
said county. But in selecting the county the
Commissioners win be entirely influenced by
what they saw, and hence Madison is at some
disadvantage, because the tracts they did not
sec in this county, present some features of in
terest, not presented by those they did inspect.
A WORTHY ORGANIZATION.-Th lay
men and friends OF It. Luke's Church, Of
this city, have organized themselves into a
Guild or Brotherhood, for the purpose Of
more effectually promoting the interests Of
the Church and carrying on true christian
work. One Of the leading objects of the
association is TO administer to the sick, and
dispense charity to the poor. 1t has long
been crying shame against the christian
churches Of America, that the Offices of
charity have been measurahly left to secu-
lar societies instead OF being, rs Christ in
tended, one Of the leading works Of the
church. Hence, we hail with pleasure,
every movement that looks 10 practical
christianity on the part of our churches.
The practice OF active charity by our
churches, us such, is a species Of religion
that all VIII understand and appreciate,
and a work that will DO more to spread a
knowledge Of true religion and convert
souls to Christ, than all the bible societies
under the SIM. We wish the Guild Of st.
Luke's Parish success and honor IN their
noble work.
SATURDAYS MEETISG.-The meeting at
the Court House on Saturday last was
largely attended aud the best spirit pre-
vailed. Rev. DR.. Hendrickson, Elder w.
L. Hall, and Jno. T. Hogan, made brief
addresses setting forth the great adyanta-
ges that would follow the location of the
South Western University" in our midst.
After the transaction Of other important
business. upon motion, the following gen.
tlcmen were appointed a committee to cor
respond with the Directors, setting forth
the advantages Of locating the University
at Jackson.
