AT the meeting Of the jackson Temper
ance Council, last Friday night, Mr. ]. w.
tie was elected President, rice Mr.. Chas.
Martz resigned. We are pleased to state
that the Council is in good condition, and
that several additions to its membership
have been recently made
Katie Putnam, supported by a talented
company, "ill appear at Angeles Hall on
thursday, Friday and Saturday nights of
next week. 1t would be superfuous to say
anything in praise of this accomplished
actress to the people of Jackson-she is
already one of their recognized favOrites
We had the pleasure of call on Fri
day from delegation of noted Vicksburgers
en- route from the Meridian Fair-General
Fitzgerald, Hon. James Gibson, member
elect tn the Legislature; Mayor and Sheriff
elect Beck; and Capt. Hardy, Chancery
Clerk elect-all in good health and hopeful
for the future of the country.
This evening at the residence of our
esteemed fellow-citizen, Mr.. c. H. Manship,
ceremony of unusual interest will be
performed. 1t is the marriage of his lovely
daughters, Misses Jessie and Jennie-the
former to Mr.. Chas. Brougher, Of Kinds
county, and the latter to Mr.. Davis Gordon,
of Madison. THE CLARION wishes the
happy young people long life of uninter
rupted joy and content.
We were delighted yesterday to see
once more on our streets Mr.. Chas. H.
Manship, Jr., one of the popular boys of
Jackson, who has been living "out west"
for several years past-in the hOurishing
city of St. Paul. His family have been
here for several weeks, and will spend the
winter in this more genial climate. Our
young friend Luther Manship, is also here
from McComb City. The occasion of their
present visit is indicated in another para
graph in this column.
We heard prominent merchant of this
city say, day or two since, that the bust
ness outlook of Jackson was better now
than he had ever before known it to be.
Signs of increasing prosperity are visible on
every hand. Farmers who have been be-
hind with their accounts for years have
cancelled their Indebtedness and raised
mortgages merchants, consequently, are
better able to meet their liabilities and en-
large their business. All departments of
commerce and trade are in a most satisfae-
tory condition now, with fiattering promise
of improvement in the near future
Our notice of the repairs upon the
Capitol street bridge, in last weeks issue,
caused considerable commotion among the
hands employed, by our enormously credit
ing the work to the "chain gang" whereas,
the fact was that it was being done by
regularly employed lal'orers and mechanics,
there being no city prisoners ut the time.
We had no intention of rejecting upon the
honest and industrious men who were work
ing for the city; but knowing that the
work was being performed, and how much
work has been gotten out of viOlatOrs of the
law by Mayor McGill and Alderman Speng-
| Ter, chairman of the street committee, we
presumed that it was being done by the
same class of labor. Capt. Phil. HAMMOND,
who is a skilled bridge builder has the
/ work in charge, and is assisted by Mr.. Pat
Clark and Buck Williams, regular en-
ployees Of the city.
