takes his position, and the tellers are
chosen. But still there is lack
somewhere. The Secretary can see
the Chairman. That will not do and
he lights cigar and consigns the
Chairman to the clouds. The tellers
look toward their papers and ballots.
They can see them! That is not &C
cording to the order Of things in a
well-regulated Convention. They
light cigars, and after the voters have
groped their way through the clouds
and placed their ballots in the hat,
the tellers take out the names, one by
one, and with many grimaces and
squints, succeed in piercing the
smoke and tracing the names upon
the ballots. And in this manner the
work goes on to the finish. When
the people finally get through, those
who do not enjoy the fragrance of
the weed rush out Of doors with all
the enjoyment of diving into a cool
bath during the oppressive heat of
July. But after all it seems to have
been the smoke that moved things
along, and when the smoke Of the fire
Of the burning weed got into full
play, the Convention reached the
point Of business activity.
~
There are great possibilities within
the reach Of the citizens Of Jackson
for building up the industries and inn
proving the business of the place, as
we'll as great inducements for capi-
talists to invest in manufacturing
enterprises. We spoke some time ago
about the splendid location for roll
ing-mill, on the Huron Furnace site.
This was not spoken as against a SIM
liar enterprise at any other point, but
merely as statement Of fact-clear
and undisputable. There is at this
point beautiful yard of great dimen-
sions, an inexhaustible supply Of pure
soft water which can be pumped into
any part Of a building, good fur
mace, and three other furnaces within
half mile Two Of these, Fulton, and
Star are now running, Tropic will
shortly start, and Huron could be start
ed within few weeks. We have since
learned that over on the north side of
town, a property-holder is willing to
give the ground to any individual or
firm desiring to build manufacture
ing establishment. There is plenty
Of good water here also, and an abund-
ance of good quality Of sand, suita-
BILE for glass manufacture. There are
other industries that might be made
profitable here, and among the insti-
tutions which we trust may come to
be permanent fixture in the place, is
the School Of Mr.. Morgan. There is
no reason in the world why Jackson
should not have an Academy equal in
all respects to the finest in the coun-
try. There is no County where the
standard of education is higher. The
citizens of Jackson should take an
interest in this School and see to it
that it becomes a permanent as well
as frst-class Academy. This can be
done without any interference with
the Public Schools. as the Academy
fills separate field. Let the citizens
of Jackson take all these things into
consideration, and use every effort to
build up the business interests of the
town.
