President In 1883.


Jackson, TENN, October 21.-The
weather still continues Lovely, but the
Toads, now well traye ed by The team
Of the cotton planters, are becomir G
very dusty. There is considerably
more Sand ia the soil here han at
Memphis, s1d the fine du which is
stirred by the slightest breezs is On
that account much more di Agreeable.
In spite OF this disadvantage, how
ever, a drive over Jackson this even
Bg seated behind spanking team
and with Judge McCorry, Can't. Bob
Speed and Messis. Bullock AID
Haynes, was thoroughly enjoyed.
Evidences Of improvement were visit
bic on every hand. Quite number
Of handsome bick business houfes
are being flashed Of aud several
elegant residences in c)urae OF con-
struStiou. The Queen Anne style,
now 30 popular in Memphis, has been
adopt ID fer all the new nuiIdinga here.
Tue more enthusiastic claim popula-
tion OF 1000, Others whisper conf
aentialy tina, as a matter Of TACT 1t is
bu, 600, while good church msmhers,
sAch as Judge MeCony, cin ba found,
who place the figures AZ 1900. This
ia probsbly correct. JACKSON is
spread cat over q great deal of
ground, bat it's extent 10 not IS
great as Cat. Harg Freeman st 1Tst
bed me to believe that OF Trenton.
After We had driven for about two
hours began to notice that there was
a soft al drtary mOnot ny in the
architecture Of the town, and at isst,
after wO had passed the fourteenth
building Whish locked exac y like
my hosts own residence, | called his
sttention 50 the fact. For the first
time in his lSrg and vadsd career he
blu he'd, and owned that his desiie to
make q city OF Trenton had led him
into the error OF playing a tad trick
upon Ae. He had circled Rnd crossed
and cifclt d back again fifteen times.
There was patriotism for you. Why
the place seemed TO b. hemmed in by
RailIsaae, there were manufactures on
every hand, fine churches, splendid
schools and splendid blocks Of brick
buildings. An adroit use OF the rains,
clouds Of dust, aud disposition to
see double had made Trenton great
city.
Ny company todsy, though perhapa
equally rs pstriotic, was a little more
conscientious ard was satisii4 with
eircling the fQuare five timsS As
sight seeing delegations at Memphis
are daily becoming more numer US
this hint might be- valuable. 1t would
DO away with tho present plan OF
starting it Court square and ending at
Elm cod, the bourne from which no
traveller returns" and the "attTac
ton" whish few visitors Escape. as I
is about the only suburban "atnac-
hon," the continual exhibition Of it to
strangers, perhaps in the attitude of
pointing with pride" to our dead,
me- kes rs admit that the lines OF the
dead lie in much more peasant places
than tho lot OF the living Jackson,
too, hss beautiful cemetery, but we
passed II slowly by, lifting our hats as
our eyes In rowing among the marble
shafts fell upon the modest stone
which marks the les resting p ace OF
Will q. Haskins, whose dwelling
place " lille he lived is not fRr away, a
iowly cottage brown with age, nesting
between two Stat Fly and somewhat OBJ
rusiys neighbors.
Mr.. Speed, who was one Of this az

l.. Taylor, whom he resembles IN ap-
pesrsr 90, And relstive OF Ian don y.
HAYNES, has for some time past been
Deputy Geek OF the United State 8
Court here, but the new appointee has
not ss yet naaed his succ assor, and,
it is probable, will not employ anyone,
as he will b. able 10 do the additional
work himself.
Mr.. Bullock was the law p1Ttuer oil
Mr.. Hugh AudeTsol, and tits limited
