Last week the Cotton Compress com
pressed about one hundred bales and was
found to work perfectly. The conference of {
the Board of Trade with the officials of the

trely satisfactory, resulted in an under
standing which will we trust be of benefit
to Jackson cotton market. Buyers for
Eastern dealers have already been in the I
city and some Of them will doubtless be {
stationed here during the season.

We call the attention of the City r
Marshal and police to the following section 7
of the New Code which goes into effect next d
Monday:
Section 1888. 1t any person shall pro- '
fanely swear or curse, or shall be drunk in y
any public place in the presence of two or a
more persons, he shall on conviction there
of, before any Justice of the Peace of the .
county where the same may happen, be !
fined not more than ten dollars for each P
ohense, and shall stand committed to Jail, I
until such fine and costs paid, to be for
She use of the public schools"
We know they are in the habit of taking
in such persons as may be drunk in public n
places, and we trust that hereafter they will t
pay special attention to those persons who e
take delight in offending the ears of ladies $
and gentlemen on the streets and at the a
depot by profaue aud indecent words. I
