DEB.

HARMON Sunday. January 18th
inst. at the residence of j. b. Warren,
Esq, of Typhoid fever, after ling
ering illness, DR. r. H. Harry, of this
city, aged nearly 80 years.
Deceased had been a citizen Of Mi
Ian only six months, but by his
genial manner and noble bearing had
won the esteem and confidence Of all
who knew him. His untimely death
while in the full vigor of manhood, Is
particularly distressing, for he had
bright promises Of usefulness III his
chosen profession, dentistry. He was
a man of generous impulses, dignihed
in bearing and possessed of a cool
courage that Knocked at fear. Dur
ing the existance of yellow feTer in
this community he was elected Presi-
dent of the Howard Association, and
did his duty nobly and with credit to
himself. With host of friends we
temoan his loss, and tender our sym
pathies to his hereaved relatives.
Requiescat IN pace.

When our readers visit jackson.

The RecOrdership Again.

Editors Exchange:
"R" agrees with me that it will take
an act of assembly to properly estab-
lish the Recorders Office, but contends
very ingeniously for the office, and
tenders as a reason, and the only rea-
son, that the Mayor is sometimes alb
sent. | understand that the Mayor
has no right to be absent when his du-
ties require his presence. He does not
show that the duties are too numer-
Gus for one man to perform. Mem
phis, Brownsville, jackson, &c, have
each a city Recorder because the du-
ties are too numerous for one man to
perform. Every citizen knows that
one man can perform the duties Of
both offices in this town. Then why
have a Recorder? Certainly the fact
that the Mayor is sometimes absent is
no sufficient reason. That puts the
ground for the office on the negligence
of the Mayor, and not upon the real
necessities of the town. He says that
the corporation would save slOO "a
wear by having a City Recorder. 1T
the corporation loses 500 ali account
of an officer failing to attend to, his
duties, whose fault is it? The laws
and ordinances Of the town give the
| Board the right to elect a Mayor pro
tenn in the absence Of the Mayor. Al
though this is the case, they never
have been required to do so but very
few times. Our present Mayor IN
forms me that when he sought the
office he did SO with the understand
ing that he would be required to per-
form the duties of both, and is now
ready and willing to do so. Then why
the necessity of Recorder? The poll
cy of good government is to dispense
with all needless offices. This is Ger
tainly one of that sort, and ought
therefore to be disposed of.

Jackson correspondence.

JACKSON, Jan. II, 1879.
Editors Exchange:
was very agreeahly surpri-ed whe-I
| received the last EXCHANGE; |
thought before | unfolded it, that two
papers instead one, had been sent to
me, but Ifounlit alone, and "chuck"
full of things generally. Allow me to
congratulate you upon the prosperous
look Of your paper.
The weather has been so bad for
several weeks, that business is quite
dull here Sieighing is very popular,
and the young men and women and
maidens are havinga good time. Since
the rain yesterday, the ground has been
so slics, that walking has become very
dangerous. MIR Jno. 5. Miller, in 60
ing from his stable to his house yester-
day evening, fell ond fractured three
of his ribs, and was otherwise bodily
bruised.
Chancery court is in session, but l
understand that vey little is being
done.
! We have been troubled great deal
with tramps since the cold weather set
in. The city authorities have been a
/ little easy on them, and they soon put
in their appearance wherever they
thought they could get small bit to
/ eat.
We have in this city society called
the H. KS. (Hungry Klub). 1t con
tains no insurance features that
know of, but it does contain some Of
the most enormous eaters i'll the state
| understand that there are FIVE mem
beers. and at one Of their suppers the
other night, they got away with hf'
teen dozen oysters, tire eturkeys, two
ducks, four large pones of fatty bread
and butter, &c, in proportion. If
4 were a member | should advocate ar
insurance feature for the benefit o
their families, as they are all married
men. l shall send my petition IL
next Tuesday night, and l hope to b'
a member of the "klub" before l write
again. If am so fortunate, l vii
give you some of the inner working
of the thing. ..

Capt. j. B. Inman, civil engineer

was in town hast Monday looking at
ter the interests Of the company. He
says fifty thousand dollars will COM
plete the road from Trenton to Hunt

completion. The business men of
Nashville are aroused to Its import
ance, and if only the people along the

sistance they will complete the road.
The Chicago and Northwestern rail
road company begun the system of
sending by sire to each station on its
Dumerons lines daily weather reports,
SO that in the even. of approaching
storms or excessive cold weather the
company may be enabled to guard
against possible loss to perishable
freight IN transit. This important
innovation is expected to be considers
able advantage to shippers. Some Of
the roads running from Chicago into
the large agricultural districts are dis
cussing the question of displaying
storm signals on their trains for the
information Of farmers, that they may
save their crops faom the ravages of
the elements.
