The Gazette to-day greets its read
ers in new and beautiful dress. Just
received from the type foundries. We
also discard the ~patent-outside,~ in
use for two years past-against which
there is popular and growing preju-
dice, shared alike by newspaper men
and the public at large. 1t was adop-
ted in the first place as matter of
economy; but the objection to 1t is so
Enthusiastically grave and general that
we have abandoned it for the old and
time-honored plan-although the latter
entails an increased amount of type
setting and additional editorial labor.
The improvements, it might be added
cost something. but we do not regret
the outlay, so long as the many friends
and patrons Of the paper, who for
nearly forty-six eventful years have
generously awarded it their support,
are gratiiied and pleased.-Raymond

A visit to the site Of our new CON-
press at the junction Of the Illinois
Central and Georgia Pacific Railroads
showed a foundation made of over 40
000 brick laid in cement. Under this
are three layers of cypress planks, nine
inches thick. The timbers, AZ feet
long, for the cupola, are on the ground
and framed, ready to raise. The lum-
Der for the shed and platforms is CON-
lug in. Five cars out Of the 20 neces-
sary to bring the machinery for the
ninety (90) inch Morse Press are on
the way. Much delay has been ex-
perienced in getting the press shipped,
but the whole Of ii will be here in time
to press part of this years crop. The
benefit to Greenwood and to the cot
ton planters ofthis section OF the Yazoo
and Tallahatchie country, from this
press will be great, as 1t will create q
cotton market here.-Enterprise.
At her home in Clay County on the
morning Of the 29th of September
1889, Mrs. LOUISA BURKITT, consori
of Gen. Henry L. Burkitt, in the sixty
fifth year Of her age.
Death has again invaded our family
circle and the shadow which divides
time from eternity rests OH the pallit
brow Of her, who gave us being, who
| first administered to our wants, whose
name we first learned to lisp, aud from
whose gentle admonition we were frs
taught the Importance Of the lessor
"do unto others as you would hav,
them do unto you.'-Chickasaw Mes
senger.
We offer our earnest and respectful
sympathy to Capt Burkitt, the edito
Of the Messenger, in the grief and los
which have overtsken him; and whicl
he expresses with such depth OF feeling
and beauty of language.
