The Jackson Water Works and Man

cent session of the Legislature, is author
il d not only to supply the city with wa
ter for public domestic and manufacturing
purposes, but the company may also erect
a cotton and wooden factory. The incor
porators are Messrs. W 5. Hamilton, d.
p. Porter, II. NJ. Taylor, z. L. Saunders,
Oliver Clifton, Thos Neville and Jas. A.
Hoskims. We are pleased to learn that
the preliminary steps will soon be taken

cotton and wooden factory will make money
for its stockholders, and will bring pOpu-
lation aud business TO the city.
