Messrs. Hamilton & Co., are having it laid

negro Sam Mack by name supposed to
be insane visited the African church in
West Jackson last Sunday afternoon, and
after the Minister had finished his discourse,
Sam arose AID told the congregation that
he had been appointed by God to visit the
church and tear up and destroy the mourn
ers bench, communion table etc. and that
on the following morning he would be on
hand fully prepared to carry out his conf
mission; true to his word he appeared
Monday morning, ax in hand ready to COM
mence demolition. He was refused the
keys of the church by the Janitress, where
upon he opened the doors by one or two
blows with his ak and then went for the
Mourner's bench and altar in regular wood
chopper style, before completing his job
however, officer Hall and Charlie Taplev
appeared upon the scene and took charge
of this self appointed commissioner of
God, and incarcerated him in the city Jail,
A jury will be empanneled to take into
consideration his sanity, and if found to
be insane he will be sent to the Lunatic
Asylum.

McDonnell's Foundry and Machine Shop

McDonnell's Foundry and Machine Shop
is one of the institutions jackson people
should be proud of. A home institution,
that can successfully compete with north

certainly deserving of home patronage
such is McDonnelps Foundry. Mr.. Nc
Donnell sold an engine to gentleman of

entirely in his shop, and it is unnecessary
to say it gave entire satisfaction. Those
who contemplate purchasing engines or any
kind of machinery, should make note of
