The Driving Park Race Track.

mention of the improvement being made
upon the track at the Driving park, but
few are aware of the work that has been
done or amonnt of money expended.
The managers started out with the
Intention of securing as good half mile
track as was in the State and they flatter
themselves that the result has been OBJ
tanned. They have expended over $1,7OO
and have left nothing undOne to secure
a perfect track. That they have sue
ceeded, all who have seen the track, since
it was completed, cOncede. They have
arranged for a series of races, the
first to take place next Monday between
the we'll known PAGERS owned in our
village, Peter Spooner's mare and James
Duggan's horse Sleepy Tom. The second
will take place on the Fourth of July and
will be for races in different classes.
The third will be few days later be-
tween Peter Spooner's mare and w. s.
Humphreys little black mare. In view
of the excellence of the track and the
long dispute between the owners of these
nags as to the merits of their respe ective
animals, as to speed, we'll contested and
interesting races may be anticipated and
we have no doubt will attract large
crowd to witness the contests.

HealthfElness of MIX.

If any one wishes to grow fleshy, says
the Householder, a pint of milk taken on
retiring at night will soon cover the
scrawniest bones. Although we see a
good many fieshy persons nowadays,
there are a great many lean and lank
ones, who sigh for the fashionable mea
sure of plumpness, and who would be
vastly improved in health and appear
ance could their figures be rounded with
good solid flesh. Nothing is more cOvet-
ed by thin woman than a full figure,
and nothing will so raise the ire and
provoke the scandal of clipper-build "
as the consciousness of plumpness in q
rival. In case of fever and summer COM
plant, milk is now given with excellent
results. The idea that milk is feyerish
has exploded. and it is now the physi-
clans great reliance in bringing through
typhoid patients. or those in too low a
state to be nourished by solid food. 1t is
a mistake to scrimp the milk pitcher.
Take more milk and buy less meat. Look
to your milkman; have large sized, well
filled milk pitchers on the table each
meal, and you will have sound flesh and
save doctors bills.

Fox's New York Comedy Company.
The Gilberts, supported by Fox's N. Y,
Comedy company opened a weeks en-
gagement at the Town Hall last Monday
night appearing in Brette Hartes 70
nance of M'Liss. The house was well
filled. The play was vivid picture Of
border life and the leading characters by
the Gilberts were artistic representa-.
tiOns, and the support all that could be
desired. Belle Gilbert is charming
Soubrette and at once captured the aud.
fence by her singing and acting. James
Gilbert Is Immensely funny and kept
the house in roar of laughter. Tues
day evening Hidden Hand was presented
Wednesday evening, Daughter of the

by many was considered the best of the
series. Thursday evening Col. Sellers
was presented in an inimitable manner
They will close the season tonight with
Steele Mackay's beautiful drama of Won
at Last, and the roaring farce of the
Fool of the Family. The general yer.
dict is that this is the best company that
has appeared in the village, and the
large audiences which have greeted
them nightly shows that they at once
struck popular chord and have admir-.
ably succeeded in retaining their hold
Coming, as they did, after our citizens
had had three weeks of theatres, the
success they have attained, proves their
worth and must be highly gratifying to
the members of the excellent company
and especially so to the management
Their plays have been new, their scenery
the best presented by any company ex-
hibiting here, and the plays presented in
a manner that could not be excelled
upon stage so limited in capacity as is
that of our Town Hall. They can al.
ways be sure of liberal patronage when
ever they visit our village and the many
friends they have made during their
brief stay will be glad to have them re-
turn at some future day. They play at

The congregational summer Resort

The Petoskey Daily Record says: The
800 acres donated by Thompson Smith
and others. to the COngregatiOnalists of
the United States as a National resort, is
to be improved this season. One gentle
man from Niles is already considering
the feasibility of constructing $4,000
house, and the policy of Immediately
improving it, and putting up other res
licences is exciting considerable inter
est in this as we'll as other States. The
land consists of a strip two miles wide
between Mullet and Burt Lakes, and is
situated about 20 miles from Petoskey.'
We trust the above may prove to be
true and that the work of improving the
grounds may be commenced at once.
There could not be better location
found for such resort, but we fear the
Records source of information is not
very reliable and that the news is too
good to be true.

Traslps W.. Gentry.


Not long since, Mr.. w. NJ. Conerly.
a citizen of this place, who is engaged
i'm the revenue business of the State,
took passage at Nicksburg, on the
steamer Natchez, Capt. Tom Leathers
in command. He tells the following
good story about an Englishman, who
was fellow passenger. The English
man had not been long in America,
and from his conversation a per.on
would judge that he belonged 10 the
upper-tendom, and said he was travel
ing in this country for pleasure and
observation. He was very inquisitive
and as the Natchez was descending
the Father Of Waters, one evening the
passengers were seated around the
stove, in the cabin. Ii appears that
the conversation was principally car
ried on between the Englishman and
young Mr.. Leathers,--a son of the
noble Captains. The Englishman,
after propounding u number of ques-
tions, to which variety of responses
were made, he observed, you have no
gentry in this country.
"No what" asked Mr.. Leathers.
Why gentry" responded the Eng
lishman gentlemen who make their
living without work"
Now | understand you" said Nj.
Leathers. Yes, we have "A large
in this country, but we call
them tramps."

southern Manufactures.

There is vast amount of very
creditable composition upon the part
of the Southern press, in reference u
the duty of our people To devote less
attention TO politics and more atten-
ton 10 our industrial interest. Not a
single Southern paper can be met with
but is full of facts and figures, as to
the great profit attaching To cotton
manufacturing In the South. So far
so good ; but we must go farther. IL
we have faith in what we preach, we
must show IL by our own works. In
stead of calling upon the manufactur-
ers Of Fall River and other places to
come South, and make fortunes i'm
cotton manufacturing, let us put our
own shoulders 10 the wheel One act,
practically eXemplifying the truth of
our teachings, carries with ii more
weight and influence than all the finest
spun theories. The simple truth IL,
We are all induced 10 invest In mann
ufactories. None of us appear to he
predisposed to make Investments of
our own. All recognize the fact that
cotton mills bring in population, and
enhance the value of real estate, far
beyond the amount invested in man
property is desirous that the reflex
influence of these mills should
be thrown back upon the value
of his own property, but personally,
unwilling TO risk one dollar him
self in any manufacturing enter
prise. The simple truth H., that
with all of our positive declarations
TO the contrary, the Southern people
as a whole have no confidence in their
own declarations upon this subject. III
they had, you would see companies
organized at once all over the South
and the spindles promptly, put into
practical operation in every county
In the state. We suggest that a prac-
tical test be made I'm every county i'm
this State of the sincerity Of our decla-
rations upon this subject. Either let
joint stock companies for the purpose
of manufacturing he organized or let
us confess that our professions upon
this subject are hollow, and merely
designed TO delude others to do that
which we are not willing TO do our
selves. We find Eastern manufactur- |
ers prospecting in Georgia.-Why? |
Because Georgia has demonstrated i'm |
our own work the profit of manufac-
turing. Mississippi and other South
ern States must pursue like policy |
before they eau hope to attract foreign
capital for manufacturing purposes.
An exemption from taxation for a
limited period, Of capital so invested,
will act As wonderful incentive In
the establishment Of manufacturing 4

which these eases are based. The legisla-
lures thus acting contained some Of the
ablest lawyers in the State. In the Code
of 1880, See. 2ljO is also clear recognition
of the views we have announced. That
Section contains grant by the legislature
to levy this special tax, which was improp-
er if the board already possessed it, and 1t
also limits the power Of the board ''as to
necessary cOnyeniences, by limiting
them TO other County buildings. If it be
proper 10 speculate as to the sense in which
the people adopted this section of the Con-
stitution the best evidence is that they
through their representatives have uni
fOrmly construed it AS we do.
The first opinion, delivered in Klein vs..
Supervisors (heyer repOrted) proceeded ON
the idea that the statute restricting the
power Of the board was constitutional,
and il was only after the ease came here Il
second time, that a contrary conclusion
was reached. Thus supported, we are
fully justified in the conclusion we have
reached.
We are fully impressed with the doctrine
sfare decisiS, In all cases in which ID is
proper TO apply il. But we do not think we
ought to surrender our convictions, fOrti-
fled as they are, by the repeated and delib-
crate enactments of the political depart
ment of the Government, to the authority
of these eases; since no property rights,
but only the proper administration of the
government is involved
In Lombard V. Lombard. 81 Miss, III, il
was said 'that where the former decisions
refused right reserved to individuals, as
against the power Of the government, or
where IL impaired the power Of the people
or their representatives TO prevent malad-
or sanctioned an alienation of
legislative power conferred for the public
good, little hesitation should be felt in de-
parting from it, if it be Incorrect" The
question here il of the character thus de-
scribed. The former decision destroys "A |
most wholesome p0wer-always theretO-
fore recognised AS existing in the legisla-
Iure, TO protect the people from corrupt |
and wastclul administration, in public
