Where the sweet white milk would strain
And sit Il IN the cool spring drain

Though far away can't be forgot
while memory shall last
Al the barn where the hens would lay

And help 10 pack the new made hay
Away in the hay pen made with logs;
And fork the golden sheaves ofwheat
To fhlher who pack 4 them away 50 neat
Twas truly happy then,
Those hills were rich with growing grain,
The orchards with fruits were bending low,
Those meadows lovely as plane,
Gods blessings spread where'r we go;
Patches ofwlld strawberries grow
Down in the fields where violets blow.

The dearest tie Of that sweet home,
Dearer than all other ties that bind
Was iather and mother in that homie
We loved them 50. they were 50 kind.
They were kind and good 10 US all,
How We miss their precious CALI
They both are from US gone.
The dear home l 50 long have loved
Is soon to BE- sold to other hands
His household goods have all been moved,
And lonely lie her pleasant lands,
How soon these changes have been made,
How soon and yet how very sad,
Almost too sad 10 bear.
Though our sornows have conc at last
And wrapt our souls as In oceans gloom,
Our former joys seem TO be past
Onr fondest treasures buried In the tomb:
But 10 US one bright hope IS given,
faithful we shall meet In heaven,
Where sorrows cannot come.

Tribute of Respect.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY WEST JACKSON
FIRE COMPANY.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY WEST JACKSON
FIRE COMPANY.
Whereas, In the death of Robt. E1gent
Parish, the West jackson Fire Company
are again called upon to chronicle the death
and mourn the loss of one of its most use
full and exemplary members; and
Whereas, 1t is the unanimous wish OF
this company to place upon public record a
fitting tribute to the usefulness, the moral
and social excellence, and the affectionate
regard with which the members of this
Company cherish the memory of our de-
| ceased brother fireman; therefore be 1t
Resolved, That while bowing to the
divine mandate that respects neither age
nor condition in Its supreme summons, we
still contemplate with sorrow the sudden
aud unexpected death of our late brother.
So young, SO full of promise, with the
vigor of maturing manhood scarcely upon
him, he heard the summons, he followed
the pale reaper in his harvest of death
He laid down to rest with the con-
sciousness of a brave battle fought--of a
young life well ended, of victory won.
Heaven rest his spirit.
Resolved, That in the death of Robt.
Eugene Parish, this Company suffers a loss
of a member who never heard the fire
alarm without fastening at once to the
scene of danger, and of duty. Never
weary of well doing, he stood in the face
of the flames, nozzle in hand, like Hora-
thus at the bridge, ready, if necessary, to /
lay down his life in defense of his native 1
city. Cherishing the watchword of West |
jackson, "Rough and Ready" he was
always ready, and if rough, a diamond in
the rough.
Resolved, That to the family of deceased
we tender our sincerest sympathy in their
du.iful son and an affec-
tionate brother, be has only gone before.
II he has lost of the pleasures, he has es-
,aped many of the burdens of lise. MAY
He who ''tempers the winds TO the sllorn
amb be with his surviving relations and
comfort them.
Resolved, That copy of these resolu-
ions be furnished the family of the de-
'eased, be spread upon the minutes, and
furnished the city papers and Brandon
Record for publication.
Resolved, That the members of this
company wear the badge of mourning for
hirty days.

The HuntIy Combination.

HAS come and gone. They played here
three nights to tolerable houses-not as
good as they deserved. This is an excep
tionally good company, both in talent and
the general characteristics which 90 to
make up ladies and gentlemen. Mr.. Hunt
icy mas made considerable reputation in the
past with the citizens of our State. which
IN this last visit, he materially added to.
AS an actor, he is easy, natural true to life,
rising occasionally-whent the part demands
Ito the highest point of expression with
voice, eye, gesture and general ''stage BUSH
ness" Miss Florence Kennedy, since we
mad the pleasure to see her three years ago,
has improved wonderfully in figure, as we'll
as stage manner. Perfect in the text of
the parts she undertakes, a careful actress,
thoroughly ''up' in that command of the
stage which renders the slightest movement
or simplest word effective, she needs but
the opportunity to take front rank in the
profession. The comedian, Mr.. Burton,
has made himself host of admirers here,
which circumstance, we predict, will occur
wherever he goes. He can get more
points into simple part than any man
we Know and the shouts of laughter which
greeted his sharp sallies and local and DO.
lltlcal hits bear evidence that he can carry
his audience with him as he pleases. The
remainder of the company are far beyond
the average makeup of travelling parties
the ladies and gentlemen sustaining their
various parts with an ease, grace and ability !
that goes a good way towards keeping up
the high standard which Mr.. Huntley has
determined his company shall maintain.

We learn from Mr.. Johnston. the clever
assistant Post Master, that all letters ad-
dressed to "Beauregard, will be sent to
the dead letter Office. There is, he says,
and never has been, any such post Office in
this State. The mail agents and post mas
ters all knew where Beauregard was. and
took the trouble to see that the mail wss
put of there. Bat it was left entirely at
their option, and they did it as n matter of
accommodation. The building up of Beau
regard at BahAla, Copiah county, did not
change the name Of the post Ofics, though
it did Of the flOurishing little town. Nov,
the mails are 50 heavy the mail agents have
no time to look after such matters, and I'll

We insert in this issue an advertisement
OF the st. James Hotel, New Orleans. This
house is too well and favorably known to

at our hands. It's reputation as first class

gentlemanly and accommodating clerks,
splendid culinary attaches, and polite

The Boston Post, commenting upon
Katie Putnam's visit to that city, has these
complimentary words
A very large audience greeted the first
appearance in this city of Miss Katie Put
nam at the Boston Theatre last evening.
Although the public had been led to antic-
ipate something good from the new conner,
it is safe to say they were unprepared for
anything so really excellent as the acting
of Miss Putnam proved to be. The little
lady is sprightly, bright and fascinating,
and in her dual role of Little Nell and the
Marchioness mold Couriosity Shop" she
won the heartiest applause of the audience
in q twinkling. The characters which she
assumes in the play being the same as those
frequently taken by Lotta here, compari-
son between her acting and that of Miss
Lolita is naturally suggeted She is brim
full of vivacity, jolly and sparkling, and
in her pathetic as well as in her less serious
parts, she fulfills all the requirements of
the character in very happy manner.

Capt. Eddie Mcclure still holds the fort
Last Monday he had quite lively bout
with three negro boys in West jackson.
The boys were all larger than Capt. Ed,
but be didn't seem to care for that. They
had the decided advantage of him, and at
one time had him down, but his luck
changed, and after the rencounter had last
ed several minutes he succeeded in van
gushing his enemies. 1t was rough and

1t may be be set down as an established
fact that Jackson will have compress.
The local of this paper called on Mr.. Henry
Bailey, who has interested himself in the
matter, and learned from him that negotia-
tions were then being made with manager
Clark and Mr.. Raworth looking to liberal
rates, which would admit of a competition
with other localities where congresses are
in operation. Mr.. Baily assured us that
the compress would be built if these roads
would encourage the enterprise, and we
believe they will be glad to do it, as it will
rebound to their mutual benefit.

Gently been over the turnpike, that the

fix all winter. Those of our Rankin and
Simpson county friends who have cotton
to sell, or want to buy goods cheap-not
cheap goods-will find that it will be great

In the last month Col. Brunson has sold
81 machines. He says that there is plenty
of money in the country, and that people
come and buy machines without being So
licited. He sold four machines last Mon-
day. This is certainly an evidence of bet
ter times. When the people have money
to spend without being asked to spend it
there is surely surplus of money in the
country,

There has been disposition to ship cot.
ton direct to manufacturers prevailing
among cotton raisers this season. The

be in need of first class compress.
