OK Sunday evening last, Robert Dalton,
street car driver, while attempting to stop
the car on the down grade about two squares
from the North Jackson turn-table, fell
from the platform striking his head against
one of the rods, inhicting a severe wound
above the eye, and being caught in the

Our friend, Major Mason, of the Reyeille,
whose memory is equal to an encyclopedia,
makes the death of our lamented towns
man, H. II. Smythe, the occasion of repro
ducing the following interesting reminiscent
ces:
The CLARION Of last week publishes a
notice of the death in Jackson of ii. Homer
Smythe, long a useful citizen of Jackson,
and always good man. In 1884, or about
that time, Col. VIM. NJ. Smythe established
the "Grand Gulf Advertiser" in Grand
Cult The town was then in the hey-day

lrdly had a rival on the river
