Col. j. NJ McCuilum, PRESIDENT OF
the Mississippi Press Association,
has announced the postponcment of
the Press Convention which was to
have assembled at Holly Springs
OH the 9TH prox., as follows:
WHEREAS, 1t has como to my
knowledge that it is the determin-
alton of many editors and publish
ers belonging to our Association to
indulge in a Centennial trip during
the summer, and whereas, l have
good reason to believe that their
absence would eclipse more or less
tie pleasure which is the usual &C
compartment of our annual re-
Unions. to say nothing of the other
drawbacks that such absenteeism
would occasion, have resolved to
postpone the June meeting of oUr
AssOeiation,u until otherwise ordered,
OF which due notice will bs given.

OUR Board OF Mayor and Aldor
,ren il composed of men of sound
Judgment and good practical sense.
1t has soGanaged the finances of
the town as to reduce 10 very
reasonable per cent. the rate OF tax
alton. and bring the city warrants
TO par value Or nearly SO. The City
CT Canton is out OF debt, and in
good credit. This is the result Of
economy. and, in the minds Of these
who know something of financial
operations, regarded creditable.
The members Of the Council meet
once @ month, ana each gets one
dollar as pay consequently he
draws from the Treasury twelve
dollars year, provided he is
present at every meeting. LIE
neither pirates on the streets about
the services he renders. nor wines
about the pay lie receives.
Scarcely less fortunate is the
County of Madison in its Board of
Supervisors. Tits is constituted,
at least III part, of men OF mature
years, good understandiRg-as
shown in the management of their
own private affairs, and men who
look closely to the interests of the
citizens of the county. Tho people
have tried some of them in better
days, and have full confidence they
viii discharge their duty liltetltgently
as well as conscienciousiy. The old
citizens, that have been here twenty
years, Or twice twenty Of them for
that matter, are quite willing to
trust them, aud if advised with,
conld perhaps satisfy those who
have become residents only at a
recent date, and whose interests
are not unusually nor overwhelm-
ingly large, that the uneasiness on
,heir part as to the proper discharge
of duly by those old members is,
possibly, unnecessary.
