THE SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
We have lost the University, aad do not
wish TO conceal the fact that we regret it. To
Messrs. Hendrickson, MeNafr, TomIin and
Anderson, who so ably represented our in
terests at the late meeting Of the Board of
Trustees at Memphis, the thanks Of the
community are due. They are also due to
those who TO the full extent Of their abili-
ty, by contributions, sought TO win for
Jackson the prise commended for. Clarks-
willie is the victor, and we congratulate her.
The beneficial effects OF such institutions up
on 1 city or country, cannot be Over-estima-
ted. Napoleon the 1st, in speaking Of Ger
many sixty years ago. said: ''That country
is dead in all things except the Universities.
They are like republican pulse beating
in a mOnarchleal body In the end this
pulse vitalized an empire, and the result is
obvious. "Tho South Western as its
name indicates, should be nearer the Mis-
sissippi river than it will be, but we would
rather that it should be at GAINESVILLE than
at Huntsville or OPelika, not because we
would bring harm to Alabama, but because
we would bring good to Tennessee. The
addition Of great University, with such n
man as DR.. Palmer at its head, to the in
tellectual wealth of the State, is matter
Of eongTatulatIon to every citizen within

CIsy council in Extra session

We attended q called meeting Of the City
Council on Monday night. a. full Board
was present and the proceedings protract-
ed. The object Of the meeting was to re-
duce the Street force and economics in the
matter Of Street work. After two or three
hours Of general and excited debate they
found, very much to their establishment,
that they all agreed fully as to what should
be done. Then they harmonized beantifuI-
ly, calmly passed the necessary resolution
and proceeded 10 their respective homes,
innocent Of the fact that they had been
three hours finding out, what the specta-
tors knew all the time, j. c., that there was
really no difference Of opinion between
them on the subject under discussion. The
resolution referred 10 was simply this
"that the Street Committee be authorized
10 keep the present force at work on the
streets, if necessary, for thirty days longer,
then to discharge all but two or thvee
hands," and then to work the streets with
the two or three hired hands and the cham
gang until the finances Of the city justified
an increase of the force. All of which was
very proper and very right.

THE REAsox OF 1--we are sometimes

THE REASON OF live are sometimes
asked why it IS that the Weed Sewing Ma
chine is decidedly better than any other
and IL ell machines OF this kind are not
pretty much alike. In the main features
they are, Ia. the Weed Is an improvement
on all the rest, and these improvements
having been patented cannot be used by
any other manufacturer. This Is not all
however. The great difference between the
Weed machine and all others, consists in
the fact that the materials used in its con-
struction are Of better quality than those
used by other manufactures. Common
steel in a sewing machine VIII wear out in
a very little while, As it cannot take high
polish and the friction soon impairs it.
Some machines on this account do not last
long enough TO enable the agents to collect
their money and get out Of the neighbor-
hood. The Weed is guaranteed to last five
years, and MessTs. Hamilton & Sparks, No.
5 Main Street, Jackson, Tennessee, are not
afraid that it will wear out sooner.
