The Cooperative Lie Association.

This Home insurance company is rapidly
growing popular in our State. 1t has been
in existence for seven or eight years and,
without making any great show or parade,
has gradually extended its field until it may
now be regarded as having as solid foot
ing as any other Life Insurance Company.
1t has stood the fire of the old livers, out
living many of them, and bravely went
through the worst epidemic the State has
even known, paying its losses according to
the strict letter of the agreement. We
think it has shown itself worthy of conf
dence. and demonstrated the problem Of
getting the most insurance possible for the
money.
Messrs. Peabody and Townsend, the
active general agents of this company,
have lust closed two weeks cOmpaign in
jackson, and have added between thirty
and forty new policy holders to the campa-
ny. Mr.. Brunson is the permanent local
agent, and will explain to all desiring cheap
and reliable life insurance the nature and
plan Of the Cooperative.

An old colored man with one foot in the
grave and grim death hacking at the other
with his scythe, appeared before his Honor
Mayor McGill, Wednesday morning, and
complained that Nick Cuby had planted a
"garnishee" on his house, which caused
him considerable trouble of mind. And as
the old picture of innocence poured forth
his tale of woe, it was plain to be seen
that he felt that he had been grievously
wronged. Mayor McGill Investigated the
case fully, and obtained the bottom facts,
which went to show that Nick Cuby being
somewhat of a fascinating cuss, had, by his
Establishments and smiles, and other means
peculiar to the true lover alienated the
affections of old Isham's wife, and had
planted himself in the old mans shoes
or in other words, Mr.. Cuby had captured
the old mans girl, and he (the old MANI
was playing for even. The Mayor, after
mature deliberation and reflection and
careful study of the statutes on garnish-
ment, sent Mr.. Cuby to Jail, for 30 days
for vagrancy.

On Wednesday last bold and daring
ROBBERY was perpretrated here in the con-
dictionary of Mr.. j. C, Jones, while the
clerks back was turned, an unknown negro
opened the cash drawer, which has an alarm
bell the bell rang and attracted the clerks
attention, who raised another alarm, The
thief however emptied one till, and fed, a
lively race ensued between him and the
Marshal, but then he being more fleet
footed soon distanced Mr. Marshal making
good his escape. The purlioner's name is
not known and doubtless could not be iden-
titled. We suppose that it is owing to the
sarcity of money that roberies are becom-
ing notorious. -0ktibeha Citizen.

We are indeed panied to learn of a most
distressing and heart-rending accident
that occurred at Osyka last Saturday oven
ing, and occasioned the death of one of the
most noble and worthy young men of the
country, Mr.. George Applewhite. 1t seems,
from what we CLEAN of the facts, that Mr..
Applewhite had been out hunting that day,
and was returning home, with his gun in
front of him, on the horse which he was
riding. When near Osyka, the horse acct
IDENTIFY stepped into hole, and throwing
Mr. Applewhite to the ground, caused the
gun to be discharged, the contents of both
barrels lodging in his body. A family liv-
ing near hearing the report of the gun and
groans of the wounded man, Immediately
went to his assistance, but their efforts in
MS behalf proved of no avail.-Summit

ReauttfuI Pictures.

Mr.. W. A. Grubbs, of Paducah, KY, is
canvassing the city of Jackson for orders for
enlarged pictures. We have seen his speci-
mems of old pictures enlarged and painted
in india ink and water colOrs, and they
seem to have reached perfection in the art.
A good picture is a Joy forever, but mean
one is an eye-sore forever. Have good
one or none. Mr.. Grnbbs will give our
citizens the opportunity of getting good
ones,
