sEuTrER's PHOTOGRAPHS.

On this subject let us be candid
We are particularly mindful of the
interests of our community when
We direct most earnestly the atten.
ton of the public to Mr.. 4. Won
Seutter's stndio, recently estab
lished here by this gentleman from
Jackson, Miss.
Mr.. YOU Seutter has placed on our
table an endless numl'er of "opin
ions of the press "-editorials from
the leading papers of Mississippi,
who praise him in the highest
terms, not only as an artist of ex
traordInary talents, taste and en-
ergy, but also as Il refined and
courteous gentleman Of undOubted
responsibility.
Mr.. Won Seutter has lived and
labOred right here in Mississippi
blinds count. since 1851, and hts
old and new works are living mons
aments of his talent and success.
We have seen his gorgeous life size
and life-like portraits, together With
smaller pictures and photographs,
and with pleasure endorse the
praises sounded by the press as
aforesaid. Such magnificent pho
tOgraphic portraits, cOlored to life,
we have rarely seen produced else
where, and never before have in
our midst; and we advise all and
every one to avail themselves of
this opportunity to procure the
portraits of their children and
or have old and fading
pictures of beloved ones long de
parted from this uncertain life
copird and enlarged by Mr.. E. Won
who makes specially of
this branch OF photography, being
provided with huge apparatus for
that purpose in Jackson.
How much safer and much more
this is than the lisk OF
valuable pictures North or
depend OH rowing artists" every
one will admit on examining MIR.
von Seutter's work or by noting his
as an artist aud re-
spOnsib,e business man.
We advise again: Don't neglect
this opportunity, but if you call OH
MIR. Won Seutter and see his pictures
we need say no more.

cessary that we keep posted on local
affairs all over the county. Will

kindness to inform us of the state of
their crops; of all deaths, marriages,
accidents. mad dogs; in short, of
any and everything the least un-
usual, that may occur in your neigh

est to everybody, and we would
like to have one or more regular
correspondents in every section of
our county. Those who would not
like their own composition to appear

The DOC LAw.-The dog law now
being enforced IN our city does not
give satisfaction, and we learn there
will be strong effort to effect it's
repeal at the next meeting of the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen.
Indeed, we have heard it asserted
that there is nothing in the city
charter authorizing the passage of
such an ordinance. Of course this
latter will be investigated at once
by the authorities, as the enforce
ment of a city regulation conflicting
with the State law ia q matter OF
seriousness, and would place the
city ins defeuseless position against
q suit on the strength of such ii
violation. In the Jackson Times of
Sunday last we poticed commune
cation from Col. Galbreath, O; that
place, in which he states that it is
not only an absurd practice to muz-
zle dogs to prevent their biting
when attacked with the hydrOpho.
bia, but, as dogs perspire entirely
through their tongues, it is cruel to
place muzzle over ones mouth,
and calculated to drive him mad
sooner than anything else. We
shall republish this article in our
next, if the law is not changed in
the meantime, AS we hope it will be.
