The Dry Goods Interest of Jackson.

Some days ago our friend of the Nicks-
burg Post volunteered to speak very light
ly Of the dry goods interest Of Jackson.
We do not deem it necessary to draw com
parsons, but we take occasion to say that
in the splendid dry goods stores of G. J.
Beck, SIedman q Co., A. Virden, f. & S.
Virden, Switzer, Newwitter & Co, Stevens
& Saunders, W. A. Whiting and Laz
Kahn-all strictly dry goods houses
Jackson makes most creditable showing
These houses all carry heavy stocks and
carry great assortment of ladies' dress
goods. millinery, etc, thus affording buyers
a variety in selections and competition in
prices not surpassed by any city in the
State, and perhaps not 10 the South. Be
sides the above named houses, Goldman &
Co., Dryfus & Asher, E. O. Ryan, Ed
Scott, q. F. McNiel, Mrs. O'I.eary and
others carry stocks Of dry goods, so that
altogether the dry goods interest of Jack
son is quite well represented, and buyers of
dry goods will find it to their interest to
come to Jackson from far and near if they
want to find good assortments, at as low
prices as can be found anywhere.

Citizens Meeting.

At meeting of the citizens of Jackson
held in the City Hall on Monday evening
the l1th inst, Col. w. l.. Nugent was
called TO the chair and Mr.. Oliver Clifton
appointed Secretary.
Ir. G. S. Roudebush made a short adj
dress calling attention TO the opportunities
possessed by jackson for greater CONNER
cial influence and prosperity, based upon
the increased facilities for handling the
staple product of the State, afforded by the
numerous railroads centering here.
Hon. +. Barksdale being called on spoke
words of cheer and encouragement and ex-
pressed the hope that the enterprise OF spe-
cial interest to the communicating cotton
factory-would soon be an established
success. He called attention to the changed
and improved condition of the people and
welcomed the spirit of progress now being
manifested, and pointed out the elements
of prosperity by which we are surrounded
cheap labor and cheap material. LABOR
is cheap because subsistence is cheaper
here than in more rigorous clImes, ana
material is cheap because nature has been
bounteous.
Mr.. VIM. J. Brown, Jr., told the fable
Of the lark who made her nest in the wheat
field, and urged upon the citizens the i'm
portance of building the best factory we
cnn without waiting for outside assistance;
whether it be a cotton, wool, paper or
broom factory.
Cant. G.. ID. Bustamente advocated the
building of paper mill in addition to a
cotton factory, and read to the meeting a
very interesting correspondence had pc
tween himself and a manufacturer OF paper
mill machinery. and sustained his advocacy
of the building of paper mill by refer
ence TO valuable statistical information
furnished by the census OF 1850.
Judge III. K. Ware was unwilling that
the idea that the proposition to build q
cotton factory had failed, because as he
understood it, though the foreign capital.
ists originally making the proposition had
invested elsewhere, the assurance had been
given that other capitalists would take
their place.
Mr. t. A. Melville thought that any
action like that suggested by Mr.. Brown
would be somewhat premature, nnui tux
original scheme nad wholly Jailed
On motion of Judge Ware, Capt. Bns'a-
mente and Messrs. Melville and Cliitof
were appointed committee to report OF
the project for paper mill at the mex
meeting. -;

DIAMOND ROBBERY.
The Thief Throws Red Pepper in the Pro-
prietor's Eyes and Disappears


CHICAGO, Oct 9.-Tom Donnelly, the dia-
mond broker at rs Dearborn street, was
robbed last night of tray of diamonds, the
value of which IS said to be in the neighbor-
hood of 5000 The job was the most
audacious one performed in this city for
years About 7:30 a neatly attired man en-
tered the store and asked TO be shown some
diamonds. Donnelly was in the front part
Of the store and his clerk was in the rear,
near the safe. The wire door was closed as
the place was about to be locked up for the
night. The gems, however, had not been
placed in the safe, and to q case containing
the greatest variety the stranger walked. He
said he wished TO purchase stone for g lady
friend
Array containing a large supply was taken
from the case and placed before the pur-
chaser. Mr.. Donnelly leaned over the case
within a foot of the tray, and in an instant
received handful of red pepper ia the eyes.
Before the startled clerk could realize what
was the cause of his employers outcry. the
stranger and the diamonds had disappeared.
Donnelly writhed in agony for quite time,
but afterward succeeded in removing most
of the pepper from his infiamed eyes The
clerk meanwhile ran after the thief, but was
delayed by having to open the wire door,
and was unable to catch him or give an
alarm TO be Of avail. The thief is probably
the one who attempted a similar job at j. B.
Hammond & Co.'S jewelry store in the Opera
House block on Clark street recently. He is
described al a large, dark complexioned
man, with dark moustache and extensively
dressed.

Condition of the Crop in Maryland, vir-
ginia and North Carolina.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 9.-The Journal of Com
merce publishes over four columns of special
reports from the tobacco growing sections
of Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina,
as to the injury TO the cop by recent frost
and the probable yield as compared with
last year. The acreage planted in tobacco
this year is considerably less than in 1885,
and owing to unfavorable weather not much
over two-thirds of crop had been expected
prior to the frost, while considerable part
of the crop had already been gathered, the
frost very seriously damaged what was still
in the fields, running portion of it, and thus
still further reducing the prospective yield of
two-thirds of q crop.
In some few instances the crop is stated to
be as large as last year and the quality as
good, but nearly all the reports tend to show
that the yield viii be much reduced, the esti-
mates running from one-third to two-thirds
of crop, with the quality, especially in
some parts of North Carolina and Virginia,
very poor. In the great Durham district
the yield is estimated at not over 40 per cent.
