mayor,s and Recorder,s Court.

Last Saturday Jack Lyles, colored
was arrested by officers Marks and
Burke for drunkenness on the streets
and carried before Recorder Stark
who fined him SIS Every man, white
or black, who gets drunk On the
streets ofJackson should be arrested
and con6ued until duly sober.
Officers McAlexander and Burke
arrested Ed Cason, colored, last Tues
day for assault and battery, and May
or Sullivan fined him $25 for the Of
Tense.
Alice Guthrie was arrested by off,
GERS McAlexandcr and Burke on Tues
day last for lewdncss. She was fined
s. by Mayor Sullivan. Mr.. Sullivan
is not candidate for reelection. and
"socks the dobbin" to them every
time. He is breaking up this coon
business in oar city, and his actions
are heartily approved by both classes,
white aud black.
A considerable quietude will be
seen to have existed in the city court
during the past week. Our city au-
thorities,, we are proud to state, are
bending every effort TO give us good
government. Good order prevails
here now, but the police will please
see Ito it that the crowds of negroes,
who congregate on the street corners
are .dispelled. This is now the only
fault. Ladies do not like to pass such
crowds, who are laughing and talking
and making remarks concerning pass
ers-bye. These crowds are not ordi-
nary loafers, but congregate there af-
ter work hours.

A Small RIaZe.

The residence of Mrs. L. r. Knapp,
on Sycamore street, was nearly de-
stroyed. by fire on Saturday evening.
the flames escaped through crevices in
the chimney and ignited the roof.
A little son of Mrs. Rrapp happening
to be in the yard, discovered smoke
aud flames emerging from the roof
and gave the alarm before the fire had
gotten under Roadway. BY the uni
ted effort of several citizens, the fire
was soon sxtingnished before doing
much damage. The roof of the kitch-
en- was badly scorched. These almost
weekly occurrences illustrate forcibly
the necessity of an engine for the
protection of property from the rava-
ges of the fiery element.

Mr. Editor:
IN a recent issue of your paper,

unpleasant and essentially feminine
complaint in the past, and / am quite
sure MY experience will help her. /

changed from firm to corporation
under the name Of l.. NJ. Rumsey
Manufacturing Company, with full

$3.50, 900. The officers of the company

Why 1. W. Harper's Nelson County
Whissev is preferred above all other
brands is because it is the most regu.
lar and most perfect product, incontes-
tablv, ever made. A long experience
in the manufacture of the Harper, the
large Capital OF the Distiller which
enables him to hold bis Whiskey un>
til it has fully matured. together with
the fact that the Whiskey is bought
by and shipped to me direct from the
distillery, accounts for the unvarying
satisfaction it has given those best ed
ucated to a fine Whiskey. w. II.
