Rankin County Endorses the Nom
inaGiOn of Capt. Montgomery.
Brandon Republican. !

By reference to the proceedings OF the
Senatorial Convention. it will be seen that
this gallant and patriotic gentleman was
nominated for Senator from this district to
till the vacancy Occasioned by the resigna-
ton of Hon Amos X. Johnston. We have
known Capt Montgomery for years, and we
take pleasure in recommending him to the
voters of Rankin as gentleman in every
way worthy of their support He is high
toned, honorable patriotic, chivalrous and
sober gentleman, and well qualified Ior the
position for which he was nominated. He
was the first choice of almost every man
in Rankin who knew him, and the vote he
received in the convention shows his popu-
larity in his own county. We presume he
will have no opposition.

Next Saturday the tent OF the Metropoll-
tan Olympiad will be pitched at the corner
OF Union and Summer streets, where two
grand performances will be given. The
enterprisiug general manager, Mr.. Mack,
has added many new and interesting fea-
lures to the show, aud with the old attrac-
tons such as the La Rue family, DEnzeT
sisters, Lolo and the Broucho horses, can
not prove otherwise than the most enter
tanning. The horses alone in the wonder
full military movements are worth double
the admission fee, and always draw large
crowds in this city. This show has been a
success from its commencement, on account
of the excellent management and first-class
STYLE of entertainment and amusement it af-
fords. The price is just the same as when
the Olvmpiad was here before, being only
fifty cents.-Nashville Banner.
The attractive Exhibition thus referred
TO will hold forth IN Jackson on Wednes-
dav and Thursday of next week, on the
eligible lot on State street near the cross
ing of the V. & NJ. Railroad. See an
nouneement on this page.

Coop material is AWAY

COOP material is always requisite to
great results. You may have the best
flour, eggs, milk, shortening however, and
still have poor bread, cake, pastry, etc.
Why? You didn't use DoOLEY's YEAST
POWDER. With this last magic element to
give order, harmony, and union to the rest,
the result is a mathematical certainty.

Brandon Republican,
We have talked with quite a number OF
farmers from various parts of the county
during the past week, and we are led TO
believe that the damage TO the cotton crop,
from the late storm and the rust, is very
great. Some farmers estimate it at o4e-
fourth, whilst many say iU is cut short fully
one-third. The report from all portions OF
the cotton region are very unfav0rable.

Last evening at 10 o'clock the Grand Jury,
through John A. O'Brien, foreman, presented the
following
SPECIAL REPORT:
New ORLEANS, June 20, 1877
Hon. w. II. Whitaker, Judge Superior Criminal
Court for the Parish of Orleans:
The Grand Jury for the parish Of Orleans re-
epectfuly presents to your honorable court this,
their special report on that institution known as
the Home OF Aged and lnfrm.
In our investig alton we find this institution to
be useless and used as an accommodation by q
part Of its inmates This institution has cost the
city the sum OF t4959 40 from February 16, 1875,
to December Is, OF the same year We find that
in the month of November, $425 we're expended
upon It. From January 15 1877, to June H. the
cost of maintaining it has been 1875 99-show-
ing more economy and prudence on the part CT
9 present officers. This institution cGn-
tains forty.nine inmates, twenty Of whom
are able to earn their own living and have
no right to be inmates of this institution. After
careful examination, we have come to the con-
cluson OF requesting it's adjustment. The few
inmates who are entitled to the charity OF our
people could be sent to the Home OF the Little
Sisters OF the Poor or to any other suitable nsA-
tuition. where they will find better care and more
comfortable quarters. We would also suggest
that the city should appropriate the sum Of 50 so
q month per head TO the Little Sisters for the
maintenance OF these unfortupates, in case the
