stated that the poem read by Miss Maud
smith, Of this city, Was a selection from
"Lalia Rooih The poem was written, as
we'll as read, by Miss Smith, and was pro-
nouuced by all who heard it, gem of rare
beauty. our readers will have the oppor-
tunity 10 pass judgment on its merits, a it
l. published in tails issue.
We regret to learn Of painful accident
which happened to Mr.. VIM. Cabaniss at the
depot IN West Jackson Sunday last. Mr..
Cabaniss is a deafmute and Is in the en-
ploy Of the New Orleans railroad. The
South bound train was delayed, and he
being ignorant of this fact, was walking
down the track as it came in. The con-
ductor did not recognize him until too late
to stop the train entirely, and he was struck
in the side by a pole that projected from
the engine and knocked off the track. The
injuries, though painful, are not OF dan
gerOus character.
The Capital City Can't-Get-Away
Club" is getting itself in good trim for the 1
heated term. TIE uniform likely to be /
adopted by this organization is one that will /
readily commend itself to the favor Of all /
who are willing to sacrifice established Gus
toms and conventional styles to comfort and
pleasure. 1t is decidedly primitive in pat
tern, and simplicity Is its chief charnl--ice-
water and ice-cream will be the prescribed
bill of tare-loafing and trying to cool its
main occupation. The n't-Get-Aways"
are here to stay, and are determined to
make the best of the situation.
Rev. Father Picheret, of st. Peters
Catholic church, announced to his eongre-
cation ON Sunday last that his pastoral duties
in this city were near an eud, the Bishop
having issued a decree assigning him to
another place On Monday night meet
ng of the congregation was held, and reso-
utions passed requesting Bishop Janssens
% Withdraw his decree and permit Father
oicheret to remain in Jackson. Great
was displayed, and a committee {
vas appointed to visit the Bishop and person {
lily present the petition and urge him to ]
grant it. 1t is understood that should the I
Iecree stand, Father Picheret will go to {
Ticksburg, and Father Oberfeld, of that
ity, will be assigned to Jackson.
