A Delightful Entertainment.

The concert Wednesday night was
a grand success. The scenic effect
was very fine. The flowers and
shrubbery were semi-tropical in kind
and luxurlance, and the arrange
ments do great credit to the taste
Of Mrs. Hal Green and MRS. Jas.
Il, Mckee, and Mrs. Brunson,
whom indeed is attributed the
conception and is due the credit of the
success of the concert. The fountain
which these ladies ,OOuid have, was
indeed very pretty and seemed
to he quite intelligent as II Joined
In several encores by sending its
jets higher and steadier. AS
friend who isa connoisseur has agreed
to give us a criticism we will not ven-
ture to trespass upon the ground we
have requested him to occupy, but
will content ourself with expressing
our delight with the beautiful forms,
faces and voices of our own and the
Vicksburg ladies'. The audience at
tested their delight by frequent en-
cores.
Miss Corinne Moore adds to beau
tiful voice a very captivating beauty
Of person and complete selfpossession.
In some of her songs she has very

We have few contributors whose
articles we prize very much, but to
whom we would like te suggest that
they make their pieces little short

Something New in Jackson.
Jackson has recently been made a
U. S. Signal Service station, and
through the courtesy of Mr.. Jos.
Bolton, the gentlemanly s. s. officer
for this station, We are enabled to give
the weekly report in every issue.
Persons having no business in the
room of the COMET office
are requested to keep out. Our typo.
graphers cannot set type and enter
tain guests. We have no doubt our
friends do not mean to be trouble
some, but it is temptation to our
hands and necessary loss of money
