IT is rather fortunate circumstance
that some persons have had the wisdom
to test the meaning of publication" as
used in law. 1t is generally understood
that an advertisement in any journal is
a compliance with the letter of the law,
although il may be violation of the
spirit, but there have been several decis-
ions recently that do not coincide with
this opinion. In neighboring State a
petition wasfiled to set aside sale on the
ground that an advertisement in a GER
tain daily paper was not publication"
within the meaning of the law, because
the paper in which the sale had been
advertised had'little more then an elee-
mosynary and'very limited circulation,
although published with perfect regular
ity. The judge granted the petition. In
New York Judge Barrett granted a re-
.straining order to prevent the packing
of Tammany with new members, on the
ground that notice of the meeting in an
obscure trade Journal was not such pub
lie notice as was called for by the by
laws of the society.

Important Information to Parties in need of
Employment.

In q communication to us the Patentees
and Proprietors of the Centennial Cake and
Baking Pan ask us to refer them to party
who would make them good agent to sell the
above named pan to the people of our own and
adjoining counties, and as the best means of
bringing the matter to the notice of parties
in vicinity who are in want of business that
is light and easy to perform, and one that
there certainly is considerable money to be
made at, we insert this notice.
The following is description of the pan
1t is made of Russia Iron, and will bake
cake, beautiful brown, much nicer and more
evenly then 1t can be baked In the old fashion
ed tin cake pan, and being provided with de-
tachable rim, you can, by simply raising
hook, remove the rim of the pan from the
sides of the cake without breaking or injuring
it in the least, thus leaving the cake on the
bottom of the pan, very convenient for icing or
frostng, the bottom of the pan being raised
prevents the cake from being burnt on the bot
tom the tube in the center can be removed by
inserting common case knife in the slot in
the top and turning IL half way round when 1t
will drop out there is also slide on the bot
tom by which you can close the hole after re-
moving the tube, making plain bottom pan
for baking fruit cake, bread, biscuits, etc.,
thus practically giving you two pans for the
price of one. With all these advantages over
all other pans, an agent has no trouble at all
in selling from ten to twenty-five of them per
day. One agent has over one thousand of
these pans In one county, and reports that he
has not gone over one half of it yet, and we
would advise any one out of employment to
write at once to l.. K. Brown 81 Co., 1876 and
1877 Central Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio, men,
tioning that they read this notice In our paper,
and they will send you descriptive circular
and terms to agents and full particulars as to
territory, etc.,

improvements In Flour.--There is no
branch of business In which greater
improvements have been made within
few years than in milling, and there
is no miller in this part of the State who
has been more ready to avail himself of
these advantages than Mr.. Eshelman,
proprietor of the Newport Mill. The
result Is, that the flour from his mill is
now equal to the best made In the
State, while the quantity made from
each bushel of wheat gives entire salts
faction. Having tried flour from the
Newport mill we can speak positively
as to its excellence. Mr.. e., also makes
mixed flour. that is far superior to
flour made from Pennsylvania wheat
which he sells at $500 per barrel.

with the leading publishing houses Of the
North but having no stereotyping facilities,
the edition will be limited To the probable
demand, and hence we ask Mississippians who
would secure this work Tor their Libraries, to
give our agents a kindly greeting. After a
careful examination of the manuscripts, we
hesitate not to say that all classes OF readers
will find this to be work OF intensely thrill
ing interest. As We progress with the printing
we NAV give our readers extracts relating to
the early times and men OF Mississippi
The History will make two large volumes
from five to six hundred pages in each. 1t
will be printed from new type, on fine paper
and elegantly bound. The price, in muslin
