ny MISS
Lulu Smith. w. H. Handley is in
town to-day. 80. Rev. George Cherington
of Pike County, is visiting the family of
DR. Ewing tonight. He was recently on
a visit to Columbus, with Rev. w. d.
Cherington, at the home of the latter's
father. Each had a little son with him,
and frankie, son of W. ID. Cherington,
got lost in the city, and was only found
after an exciting search of several hours
..... Elder III. J. Carr is in to-day, at
tending the Prohibition meeting .....W We
believe it would have been fully as well
for our Prohibition friends had they not
made-or, rather had not one of them
made enthusiastic demonstrations when
a couple of Ministers had occasion to
leave the Court Room this afternoon. -.
There's a place in the gutter of the
and Pearl, near the Furniture Store
which should be fixed in some manner
at once. Uncle Johnny Burt is get
ting his large building painted up in
beautiful STYLE. Gage, Prohibitionist,
made speech here this afternoon, but ac-
complished nothing beyond making men
very angry and disgusted
THURsDAY.--A long, steady rain, this
evening. :. Called in today to witness
the beautiful effect wrought by the
brushes of Tripp and Blagg, in the new
building on Portsmouth Street. This
work is beautiful, the "blue-room" being
perfect gem. The woodwork in this
room is painted delicate blue tint, and
trimmed with gold. The boys are MAX
ing things shine. .... Friends here haye
received word that Rodney Smith, who
went West some time ago, died in the
mountains of Colorado, whittier he had
gone for his health. "A number of
friends of Mr.. Balsar Wollam called at
the home of the old gentleman on Church
Street, to celebrate his seventy-fourth
birthday. The jnclemency of the wealth
er rendered it unpleasant getting about,
and many were doubtless kept away who
would otherwise have been there. But
those present had good, old-fashioned,
jolly evening. Mr.. Wollam is one of the
first citizens of Jackson with whom we
became acquainted, and has ever ranked
as one of the very best mechanics in the
place, and though getting far along in
years, he still works at his trade. A good
quiet, Industrious citizen, the old gentle
man deserves the friendship of every
body, and it was with earnest prayers for
success and happiness for himself and his
little family, that the neighbors and
friends took their departure tonight :.
The festival at the Baptist Church
was not so well attended as it should
have been, owing to the rainy, disagree
able weather, yet those attending had an
enjoyable time. 49,. Another runaway
match to-day. But it was "struck" too
suddenly for the young folks 49,. If the
Prohibition meeting brought all of the
water that has been falling since the
meeting of yesterday, lets have lots of
'em. They are both valuable as rain-pro-
ducers, and amusing as entertainments.

such leaders as Moses d. and DR.. Joseph
Jones, and such singers as the local tai
ent of Jackson may furnish, we can chal-
lenge competition in musical work any
where. Charles Rhodes and little son
Johnnie went to Portsmouth this after
