the attention OF Mr.. NJ. A. DeeS,
: who Immediately wrote Messrs.
Mitchell 81 Co., setting forth the add
vantages of this place for such an
enterprise. In reply he received
the following letter which we pub

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 9, 1888.
Mr.. NJ. A. Decs:
Dear Sir: We have your letter
and like its spirit very much. We
should be glad to have you make us
a definite proposition, such an one
as We can transmit TO the "A CON-
paDy for their consideration. We
suggest to you whether il would
not be well tor you to call a public
meeting and get in binding shape
just what your community could
offer. This opportunity for a great
enterprise is Of such Il commenting
character, and is exciting so much
interest, that 1t is highly probable
that money offers aud large INDUCE
ments will be made to secure it.
Your locality has strong advan-
tages. The enterprise would be es-
pecially beneficial TO your eOmmu-
nifty. But your prOmptitude and
enterprise seem to render it super
fluous for the TO elaborate upon the
benefits of the enterprise.
We shall be pleased to have a
definite, stable proposition at your
earliest convenience, and will glad
Iy submit the same. Truly,

matter to the Board of Supervisors

heartily congratulate our readers

But 1887 was an eventual and ac-

Ii reports, from which we get our

grand strides in the matter of in

Her advance over 1886 exceeded
quite a number of Southern States,
including Florida, being for 1886,
$774,000, for 1887, $4,771,000. This
is more encouraging from the fact

OUR COUNTY OFFICERS.

On last Monday the officers OF
Jackson county, elected and 70.
elected last November sevelal!y
took the oath Of Office, qualified aud
entered upon the discharge VI their
duties. Some Of them are new aud
officially untricd, but we believe
there is II general feeling of conf
dence in an Improvement in the adj
m%inistralioa of county affairs tor
the future.
Mr.. Walter NJ. Denny, reelected
Clerk of the Courts, is one of the
most efficient, painstakiDg and
thorough Clerks in South MISSISSIPPI
pi. The demands met by him in his
important position, official or un Of
fetal, duty or accommodation, are
without bounds save in physical
ability. Amid the confusion, blum
ders and entanglements of our coun.
~ affairs, he stands serene, the
friend, helper and counselor OF ev-
cry one without regard to race, col
or or p~levions condition. Hence,
the high esteem IA which he is held
by the electors of the county, who
retain him in Office.
Mr.. Frank II. Lewis wears the
laurels as victor against the field OF
candidates OF age and experience
for Sheriff, though but twenty-five
years of age, and enters upon the
discharge of the duties of that i'm
portant Office. Frank is a young
MAI OF intelligence, energy and
honor, and we believe he has a
goOdly share of all the characterize
les requisite to the efficient pc.f0r
nance of the duties Of Sheriff. We
predict that the people of Jackson
county will soon have ample causp
TO feel proud of Frank, as he is in
splred with YOUTHS most ardent
ambition to merit their confidence
and esteem with which they have
so highly complimented him in plac-
ing in so high and important an
off nial trust.
Mr.. j. w. Stewart, Treasurer,
completes the trio of the peoples
most trusted and hOnored county
officials. We are glad to be able TO
say that here we have also a most
worthy man. Jackson county has
been fortunate in the matter of ii
nancial guardians, bat none, we be-
lieve, have been more honorable
and efficient than Mr.. Stewart will
prove to be, and in saying which
we have said it all. He has been
tried as an official, and found iu no
sense wanting.
We have Il Board OF Supervisors
composed OF good citizens whom
we believe to be of good average
and enthusiastically honorable.
The President, Mr.. johnson Ware,
is Il practical man of experience in
the duties OF his Office, aud We have
occasion to feel hopeful for the ia
ture OF the administration OF our
county affairs.
