The great event Of the week has been
Strawberry Festival and Concert for the
benefit Of the Bucksport Cornet Band, I'M
dertaken and carried to successful issue By
some Of our energetic and public spirited
ladies who desired to give the organization
assurance that their efforts to please the
public were duly appreciated The citizens
responded most cordially to the call of the
lady managers, and the result was the ex-
ceedingly bright and cheerful entertainment
of Thursday evening, which was among the
best of its kind, Emery Hall, with all its
merry-makings, has ever witnessed. The
skillful hands Of the Decorating Committee
had done their work well, and ferns and
flowers had so transformed the room that
the canaries in their cages evidently con-
sidered themselves out of doors, and i'm
agined that II was their duty to rival the
other music as far as their vocal ability could
permit, for which laudable end they used
their best endeavors and sent their CHEEKY
little notes ringing through the hall. The
tables were beautifully and beautifully
spread, and to those who know the perfec-
ton in the culinary art attained by Bucks
port ladies', no further description of the
viands there set forth is necessary, than to
say, the ladies did not fall below their repu-
tation in the least degree. Supper was
served from $50 to 1880. with ice cream and
cake during the evening for the delectation
of the merry company. who were ENJOYING
the delights Of social intercourse, and list
ening to the strains Of the Band, who fav-
cred US with their best music, from time to
time as the hours went by. The young Ia
dies, who served At the tables, prominent
among whom were the "girl graduates" Of
the Seminary, Class Of 'S3. must not be for
gotten, for they were charming enough to
tempt the gold from the purse Of the cold
est hearted miser, and played the part Of
"waiting women" admirably. The party
vss delightful aad enjoyed BY III present.

An Obstacle . g ask.
son,


The question il often asked, why Jack
son does not improve more rapidly
Well. there may be, and no doubt are,
several reasons. But one Of them il that
the railroads Discriminate seninst It.
ons Of our merchants told O Z few
dayl since that meat from Kansas City
to Vieksburg. ell rail, via Jackson, was
carried for SIC per hundred pounds,
while Il the same meat were eOnaikned
70 jackson, IS miles a@rsf, the rate
would be 65eenta. Again, from Chicago
to Vicksburg the rats was 20 cents pei
hundred, whereas to Jackson it was 60
cents. Now, no doubt the seesmboat
competition at vicksburg has something
to do with this. But 1t goes to show
very plainly that the roads could give
us much better treights and yet make
money, for if the rates TO vicksburg
were not profitable, they would rather
the steamboats, carry the freights. Jack.
son has scarcelysa railroad that does no,
work to the advantage of some other
place as against it. Meridian is grow.
ing and improving very rapidly, and IN
doubtedly much of this fact is due T.
the discrimination In its favor by the
railroads. Jackson Is in the midst Of /
better country, and has quite Is many
railroads, and if we could only have
fair-play-not be Disseminated against
We would grow right along. If our mer
chants would speak out on this subject
it Is quite likely that many instance
where other places are favored to on
disadvantage could be given.
