You will find that d. D. Dungan's
great grocery and provision store will do
big business this week. There will be
a great many people in town next week,
attending Court, and the regular session
of the County Commissioners, and the
hotels and boarding houses must lay in a
goon supply of groceries and provisions,
and Dungan's store is the place to get
such supplies.

Joel s. French concluded that he would
like to have pair of pet squirrels, to
play in the big maple tree in his back
yard. He traded a canary-bird for pair
of squirrels, and put them on the tree
but they didn't stay there. One of them
got away and ran to neighbor's, Joel
after it. Coming up little too suddenly.
he stepped upon the animal and crippled
it. Now what must be done? He
couldn't doctor the squirrel, but he de-
termined to make it doctor him. So he
caught both squirrels, killed them, and
had fine mess of young squirrel. He
has gotten out of the notion of pet squir-
rels, save for table use.

If any one doubts that Mrs. Graham
has the largest, finest, best and cheapest

sale in Jackson, just call at her store,
corner of Main and Railroad streets, and
be convinced. Her room is in the build
ing formerly occupied by Joseph Andres
as hotel.
Mrs. Graham does not want to boast,
and say she has a great stock of fine
goods; she wants the people to call and
see for themselves, and then make up
their decision.

We attended the exercises of the Jack
son High School, at the Jones Music Hall,
on last Thursday night. The great Hall
was full-every seat being occupied, and
the gallery was filled. We never saw
better order, at any large gathering of
the people. 1t was something of which
every good citizen of Jackson should feel
proud. The good order among the people,
especially the young folks and children,
and the evidence of progress among the
pupils, must have been exceedingly graft
flying to the teachers, Board of Educa-
tion, and the citizens of our town.

A short time before his death Stephens
stated that he had been engaged largely

been passed by them in Jackson County.
There was not a word of truth in this
statement, as every business man knows.

An AyariciOuS Age.

A great many people call the present
age an avaricious one. The American, as
rule, thinks of the almighty dollar in
all of his transactions, whether in the
pursuit of wealth, health or pleasure
The general tendency of our race is to-
ward excess, and this should be carefully
guarded against. The love of money is
generally credited with being the root of
all evil, but all people seem to be after
plenty of the root. 1t cannot be told

Judge Stone has presented a petition to
the General Assembly asking that the ju-
dietary of the State be relieved of the du-
ty of appointing the school commissioners
for the couxties. He thinks that the ex-
ercise of this power is not consistent with
the dignifed and impartial station of a
Judge, and in practice tends to conflict
with proper discharge of judicial duties.
This matter has been heretofore discussed
and Judge Stone is not the first among the
Judges of the State to advance these views
The difficulty in the way Of the amend
ment the Judges have asked for has seem
ed to be that the friends of public educa-
ton have feared that this appointing pow
er could not be vested anywhere else SO as
to be as well removed from political in
fluences as At present. The vesting of this
power in the State Board of Education
has been suggested, and this would pro-
badly be the most satisfactory disposition
of the matter.
