A railroad boom has certainly struck this
State, and, we are glad to state, on the spot
where it will do the most good. When such
cities as Aberdeen, Columbus, Natchez and
Vicksburg put their shoulders to a thing
it is bound to move. We think Jackson
will also come the front in due time, when
it will make the combination stronger
You are right about it. When the

reaches this point, Jackson will come to
the front" and give it push towards
Columbus via Carthage, Leake county, and

Very Accommodating.

Several days ago a stranger made
his appearance at the Union Depot
and asked officer Button how long be-
fore the Grand River Valley train
would 90 out.
''In about twenty minutes" was the
reply.
"Then I'll have time to get drink,
won't I?".
you will"
"That's good. l always prefer to
travel on a stiff horn of whisky"
He returned in five minutes, wiping
his mouth on the back of his hand and
asked:
HAS my train gone yet?"
"No sir; you still have fourteen
minutes to spare"
"rhat's good, and l guess I'll go
back fora IA little brandy"
When he returned he felt in good
spirits, and, ascertaining that he still
had six minutes to spare, he said;
'Now, that's what call liberal, and
I'll lay in one more drink"
The last one proved more than he
could bear up under, and he was not
seen again for three hours. Then he
came around with a wabble in his gait
and an uncertain look in his eyes and
asked:
"Shay, what time does the Gran
River Valley train 60 out?"

Manners and Morals.

What is the difference between good
manners and good morals? Will good
manners make man, or must he be
possessed of good morals also? Ifgood
manners be genuine they are good
morals, for they are founded on the
laws Of justice and kindness. But
there is so much base coin in circula-
ton in the sphere of manners, and
there are so many pretentions to good
ness therein which cannot be admitted.
There is not a thing so offensive as
false heart refusing, in polite man
ner, to do simple and easy action of
kindness. 1t reminds us of one lady
abusing another in the most ceremon-
ious style. courtesying with great
dignity, but at the same time with
contemptuous sneer upon the lips, and
Il most reverential "madame" upon
the tongue. Most ladies would prefer
a corporeal onset. But they know
one another's feelings, and that this
most mock civility is the most CALLING
and effectual vengeance they can take.
uC SOOu uIduuCIS VI Llt1Iy pcOpiC diO
of this sort; heartIessness,
itself in the garb of kindness,
and pretending to feel deeply for you
when it wishes you to Coventry or
Jericho. Now, this we call bad-man.
ners, and yet men who can play this
we'll, and show you ont" as they say
at court, are supposed to be very ac-
complished, finished gentlemen. After
all, it comes to this, that good morals
are good manners. You will find no
better standard for manners than this.
Butsstill there are degrees of good
ness; there is more or less graceful
of showing it, and the more.
graceful is better than the less grace
ful. The best manners, therefore,
are the more graceful good morals.
These invariably defile them, however
pure they may seem; invariably de-
form them, how beautiful soever, how
graceful soever the air which they
employ, or the dress they put on.

The Reporter.

This is arep'rter. You will notice
how finely he is dressed. He wears
bis best clothes ayeyy dav, because he
doesn't know what Snnday is. Repor-
iers have an easy lifs. They seldom
gd to work before 10. O'Clock in the
morning and are often through with
their Iabors by II at nIght. There
are mauF kinds Of reporters. The
society reporter goes TO parties and
weddings. Hs-;akeS down the names
Of the people who have been invited
whether they are there or not, and
prints them IN the paper the next day.
Once i mau started for a party, but
got too full for utterance before reach
ing there, aud was locked up. The
society reporter said he was at the
party, all the same, but the police re-
porter said he was fined 3 for being
drunk. 30 this man got his name in
the paper twice, but he cut out one
Of the items for fear his wife might
see them both and think the p ess
was making too much of him. Men
are often so modest. The sporting
reporter goes 10 horse races, base ball
gaines aud cock-iights. 1t is wicked
To 20 10 horSe-races If YOU bet on the
wrong horse. Once there was cro-
quet tournament IN large city, and
the editor of Il paper knew that some
body must write II mp. SO he spoke
TO the sporting reporter. w hat have
| got to DO with those dizzy croquet
PLAYERS" SAID the sporting reporter.
That's society event. Il guess you
are right, replied the editor: so you
can 20 up in the country about two
miles north OF where 1t looks as if we
would have an early Spring and then
this evening there are four Land
League meetings for you to look after
So the sporting reporter had little
something 10 do after all, and clubbed
himself quite heartily. \ man need
not have Il classical education in order
to be good reporter, but he must be
able TO hustle around some, and hump
himself when there is a big fire or a
murder. Reporters can get nearer to
fire than anybody except the fire
men, and the new ones DO 1t. But
the old heads at the business know
better. They stand on the corner
until the tire is out, and then they get
II hack and go to the house of the man
who owns the building, and ask him
how much the old shell was worth,
and if he thinks the insurance COM
panies will have him arrested for set
ting it on fire. This is when the man
acts mean and does MT open the door
for them because he has just got out
of bed, and declines to answer ques-
tions. Bat if he acts square, you bet
the boys treat him right, and in the
