The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1881-04-07

The clifton continues its weekly trips
to and from Carthage regularly. Pear
river navigation has been proved decided
success, and we wish the Clifton and it
owners many more seasons of even increased
prosperity.
Mrs. Crane, widow of the late Rev. DR..
Crane, took her departure from Jackson on
Tuesday morning, for Adams county, where
she will hereafter reside with her sons. Mrs.
Crane has lived in Jackson for a quarter of
a century, and,of her it may, in truth, be
said, "she went about doing good" She
will be gratefully remembered by many of
( the poor and afflicted, whose wants she was
instrumental in supplying, and whose sor-
rows she took so much pleasure in alleviat-
/ ing. The recollection of her good deeds
while in Jackson will be comfort to her
in her declining days, which we trust will
be as serene and happy, as her life as been
active and useful
