The comet. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1877-1882, 1879-08-30

We have taken occasion once before to
call the attention of our city authorities to
an evil that should be remedied, viz: There
is a crowd of loafers who congregate night
ly on the platform at the depot in West
jackson, and make practice of using as
much obscene and indecent language as
possible. 1t is matter of impossibility
for lady to occupy the waiting room at
the depot without being freed to listen to
language that would shock the modestY of
a cast iron pot. If an example was made
of one or two of the offenders, it might
put stop to it.

city Hoods ON the Farm.

Two young gentlemen of this city afte,
mature deliberation and consideration,
have come to the conclusion that farming
is the only sure road to wealth, and have
concluded to try their hand at it next
year; thsy propose renting twenty acres of
land, purchase eight mules, and hire five
Kansas emigrant's to assist in hewing out
this road to wealth. The supply list for
the year consists of the following articles !:
Six jars pickles, 2 dozen boxes sardines, 1
dozen cans cove oysters, barrel of -four,
1 side bacon, dozen jars Shaker preserves
2 bags shot, POWDER. caps, etc., in proper
ton; fishing tackle, snake antidote, tobac-
co and cigars ad H6itum. All of which
will give our readers pretty good under
standing of the ''city blood's' idea of
farming.

Judge A might well be styled the re.
porter's friend; he is always trying to find
out something that would be OF interest to
the general public, and then giving Eye
local" the benefit of 1t. The Judge, how
ever, sometimes meets customer who out
generals him. Such was the case the other
day when he approached the old lady who
has been honoring jackson with her pres
ence for the past few weeks
Judge A. "Madam, what might be
your name2'
Old Lady-"Well, sir, don't know that
it is any of your business"
Judge Att assure you, my dear
madam, that no insult was intended;
merely wished to know for the information
of my friends, who have an idea that you
are some distinguished foreigner, travelling
tncOg., Lady Burdette Coutts, Anna Dicks
inson, DR.. Mary Walker, or Susan B. An
thony, perhaps"
Old Lady.-"I told Mr.. - that he was
fl and don't think any better of you"
Judge A--.-''M Madam, when do you
expect to leave the city?'
sold Lady" don't think that is any
of your business, either"
The Judge gave it up, and the old lady
still maintains her disguise
