nonading balloon exhibition, which is said

We rote that our late honored fellow
citizen, Gen. John D. Freeman, now a resi-
dent Of Canon City, Colorado, is a member
Of the Executive Committee of that place
to present its claims to selection as the per
manent capital of the new State. The
people OF Canon City are fortunate to secure
his services in their cause The address OF
the Committee, written by him, is charac-
teristic of his tact and talent.
The Jewish New Year was greeted
with appropriate exercises at the Syna-
gogue in this city last Friday night. The
members of the congregation were generally
in attendance, and all seemed to enter heart !
lily and reverentially into the impressive
services of the occasion. The congregation
has had no minister for some time, but our
worthy townsman, Mr.. Henry Strauss. has
been serving in that capacity with great
acceptance. He seems to be at home in the |
Hebrew language, in which most of the
service is recited or chanted
The people of Jackson responded hear
tily to the proclamation of the President to
observe Monday last as a day Of humiliation
and mourning Business was generally sus-
pended. The State Capitol, printing offices,
and nearly all the business houses in the
city were appropriately draped. Religious
services were held in the Presbyterian |
church, the Baptist and Methodist congre-
cations uniting. Services were also held at
st. Andrews church, the Christian and
Catholic churches, and at the colored
churches. The proceedings of the citizens
meeting in the afternoon, will be found in
another column.
Mr.. VIM. B. Ross and Miss Lille Pea
tross were married last evening at the resi-
dence OF the Eride's parents, in this city.
The wedding was quiet one, none but rel
atiyes and intimate friends being present to
witness the solemn and impressive cere-
monies which united for all time the hearts
and lives of the happy couple Mr.. Ross is
one of Jackson's most esteemed and popu-
lar young gentlemen and the fair young
bride one Of the loveliest of its daughters.
To both, we extend congratulations, to-
gether with the hope that all their bright
anticipations of happy future may be
more than realized.
On Monday night last, Sheriff Daniel,
of Columbia county, arkansas, arrived in
this city, having in charge the murderer,
Jos A. Thomas, who killed Chas. II. Muir
ply, in Rolling Fork, Sharkey county, Mis-
sissippi, of. the 10th of last month. The de-
tails of this crime are yet fresh in the pub
lie mind, and do not need repetition.
Thomas was turned over to Sheriff Nor
risson by Mr.. Daniel, and placed in Jail,
where he now is, and will remain until the
proper authorities are heard from. The
murderer is a young man of good appear
ance, and looks incapable of committing the
crime for which he was arrested. He de-
clines to say anything OF the subject. He
was captured ia Columbia county, Ark, on
Friday, His captor will receive reward
of 800, that being the amount offered for
his arrest
