To the Editor Of the Standard:
Every one coming into a new place
forms some opinion with regard to the
town and the citizens Of the same; andi
we ask space in your columns to say
few things about Jackson as it appears to
US, we hope you will bear with us. for it
is an old saying, "he is our friend who
tells US Of our faults" Though a stran-
ger. still the name of Jackson is one we
have often heard, for it is associated with
our childhood, and who is there that fol-
gets the names and scenes OF childhood
We are not only forced TO the conclusion,
but are pleased to say, we like tho sp
pearance Of the town, and as far as We
can judge from the short time we have
been in the town, we think the people
generous and friendly toward all that
merit consideration. They do not 90 in
TO extravagant expressions of friendship,
but we notice strangers receive full rs
much attention as they deserve from the
citizens OF the town. The merchants OF
the town wear q pleasant appearance,
and are ever ready TO accommodate those
who trade with them; but one thing We
are forced to say that may not please all,
and that is they do not use enough OF
printers ink in their business Printer
ink will do more for business man
properly used, than capital. 1t is the
loadstone that draws custom 10 his tusi
ness house.
We are convinced that many thousands
Of dollars OF trade 20 to other points iD
the country that rightly belongs to your
town, all because the proper effort is not
used to attract the trade to your town
A county seat is not half one If it do. 8
not draw the trade Of the county to it
Jackson has two live newspapers, which
have a wide circulation in the county
and are the best means to let the people
in all parts Of the county know where
you are located, and what you desire to
sell them. Men who have made fortunes
in the mercantile business will tell you
that the more they patronized the printer
the better trade they had. We have
been a reader Of one of your county pa
pers for some time, and when we come to
your town were surprised at the large
number of elegant business houses flied
with merchandise. II you are in business.
step in have one of your county papers to
put up handsome advertisement, and
we warrant you will make money by so
doing There is one pleasing feature
about your town that q stranger will no
tice the first day he is in your town he
will see no drunken men on your streets.
This is certainly pleasant recommend
alton for your town, and a warning to
that class Of society that their company
is not desirable
There are so many things that the citi
zens Of Jackson may feel proud OF in the
way Of public Improvements in end
around the town, that we hardly know
where to begin, and when once commenc-
ed, where to end, in speaking OF them
/ Your Court House and Jail are certainly
things that every citizen in the county
/ looks at with pride when they visit their
county.seat. Jackson mills have wide
reputation for good work, and with rail
roads, furnaces, and your schools, church
es, hotels, beautiful residences, and
grounds, palace stores, and last but not
least, handsome ladies, certainly Jackson
has many pleasant features to a strangerr
and leaves an impression that will be re
membered for time to come. Although
our stay is brief in the county OF our Lirth.
we will carry many pleasant recollections
with us back to our home in the far ois
tant west, and as we term it the land OF
the brave and the hee, the de rest,
