Jackson.

We spent Tuesday in tne fourishing
city of Jackson, where We met many
old acquaintanees and made many new
ones. We rejoice with our neighbors
that their city presents 80 many evil
dences of prosperity. Trade Is a little
dali of course, as it is almost every
where, but on every hund we see some
thing to remind US that jackson is no
longer a torn but city Where in
years agone we plunged, as it were,
through the inevitable mud hole we
walk on the substantial fag>stone, aud
where the old style country store house
stood on the corner the fire fend has
done It's work and the commodious
''three story brick" has been erected
which would be creditable to our busiest
marts of trade.
The people of Jackson justly expect
that the erection of the rail road
machine shops, the location of which they
have secured, will add new force to
the thrift of their city, and that they
will be powerful auxiliary to help it on
to metropolitan proportions.
The church and school buildings of
Jackson are ereditable and we UNDER
stand that the pulpits of the former are
ably filed and the halls of the latter
are well patronized.

Col S. n, Moody, OF New Orlea8s,
who died recently by his own hand,
while suffering from an intOlerable neu

prospered when Louisiana was weaithy,
and he prospered when Louisiana was

how to advertise, and the duller the
season the more persis.ently he kept

He was known as the "Shirt King Of the
Southwest.
On every wall and on every telegraph
pole in the Mississippi Valley, the way
farer was invited "to get his shirts at ;.

him by numbers, and his half>clothed
little army, that had enjoyed to a degree
the stores and, unfortunately, the liquors
it had captured, was driven back This
was made a great affair of, and Sher-

1t was an affair nothing to his credit

large cavalry force that could fire into

a hundred yards or so Of the present

force to protect it, and there was not a
