Ir would be some improvement to the
appearance of Capitol street If the weeds

track could be cut down occasionally. Ihey
appear to be neither ornamental nor useful.

sonal mention of friends visiting The state

must be understood that they are here on
professional" business.
TUE grass and weeds are permitted to

In 1874 there was organized in Jackson

The members of the old club met and re-
organized on Monday evening last, which is
an assurance that nothing win be left I'M
done to make the winter pleasant and agree
able as lies in the power of the club. 1t Is
to be hoped they win have a. they deserve
the hearty cooperation of our eli zens IN
their efforts.
THERE was another public meeting al
City Hall Monday night to consider the
Turnpike question. About $S50O.OO had
been subscribed toward the permanent i'm
proyement of the turnpike, but the commit
tee reported that it was now too lase IN the
season to do more than make temporary
repairs, 50 as to make it passahle this win
ter and fall. This win require about TWEEN
ty per cent. of the subscription, which v.
have no doubt win meet the approval o
subscribers. The permanent improvement Q
the turnpike is, in our judgment, of IS muci
Importance to Jackson, as either Of the new
railroads. A vast amount Of trade M.
been diverted from jackson by the wretchet
and often impossible condition Of thu
thoroughfare.
