I grunson and family were returning home
from driye in the country, they met with
quite serious accidert and, to Mrs. Brun-

we're on the point of crossing Parish bridge,
in RankiE county, when one of the shafts
broke, thus throwing 2!l the weight on the
remaining one, which also gave ~sy under
the strain. The buggy rolled backward

fractured Mr.. Brunson was badly bruised,

! Cur frieid, Douglas Ward, formerly
/ Superintendent Of the 9acFScp Gas Works,
seems not to have reposed much conHGefc &c
in the honesty Of the haek-and-tan Consti-
tutional Convention of 1868, which remain
ed in session in this city over six months.
In the proceedings of the Convention We
end a communication from Mr.. Ward, from
which We make the following extract: ''The
City Gas Works, is scarcely able to meet its
monthly expenses, hence the necessity OF
collecting all bills promptly and without
doubt. | therefore ask that deposit be
made sufficient to cover the amount Of gas
that Esay be used, or some personal security
1 given" The GQqTention paid up a month
or two in advances, at the eEd Of which time
the gas supply was stopped until aEottef
"deposit" was made, and SO on to the close
The Trustees of the Public Schools, at
their meeting on Monday last, discussed
and agreed upon the propr.ety CT having
one school for the white children, centrally
located, instead of two as at present This
is move ia the right direction, and we
hope the Trustees will keep on this track
until the object is accomplished. The plan
proposed is to sell College Green square.
which contains sixteen choice building lots
and with the proceeds, and some other
funds available, and some additional help
from the city, erect suitable building on
the public square liz rear of the Executive
Mansion. And then, with guarantee that
the term shall be continued at least nine
months in the year, we can build up and
mantaiR in Jackson Public School equal
to the very best. We urge the Trustees to
go resolutely ahead, and we undertake to
say that the City Fathers and the commu,
nifty generally will extend them hearty CO.
operation.
