Mr.. Clark has introduced bills to

The Judiciary Committee has
brought in two reports on the jackson
investigation. The majority report
mildly censures Judge jackson, but
lays a good deal of stress on the miti-
eating circumstances. The minority
report signed by w. NJ. Smith, w. B.
Smith and Henry Mason criticises
Judge jackson in still stronger Ian
guage without attemptinsto mitigate
his "usurpation of authority" though
it concludes with the statement that
Judge Jackson's integrity and purity
of motive are not reflected upon. The
majority report not only handles him
mildly, but adds supplemental re-
port questioning the authority of the
Governor to interfere with the Judi
cary, denying his right under tho CON
stitution to do so, though compliment
ing his executive vigilance. The re-
prots are made a special order for

Martin McGarrick, who went from
Elmira, n. Y, to Birmingham, Ala,
secured work as editor of the Critic, a
Sunday paper. Recently he wrote a
letter home which vilified and abused
the people Of Birmingham in the
strongest language. Among other
things he said the white citizens were
worse than the lowest class of negroes
and a tough lot generally. The letter
was published and found its way to
Birmingham and was copied by a
local paper. McGarrick was at once
and very properly driven out OF the
town. He was served with written
notice to absent himself within two
days. He promptly departed.

The senior proprietor Of this paper
has been subject to frequent colds for
some years, which were sure to lay
him up if not doctored at once. He
finds that Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is reliable. 1t "opens the secretions,
relieves the lungs and restores the sys-
tenn to a healthy condition. If freely
used as soon as the cold has been con
tracted, and before it has become set
tied in the system, it greatly lessons
the attack and often cures in a single
day what would otherwise have been a

After the battle Of Buena Vista,
General Zachary Taylor, whose
daughter married jefferson Davis
against her fathers wish, is said TO
have remarked to the then Colonel
Davis, Colonel, you haze saued the
dag. God bless youi When Dolly
uould hare you, she ,cas a better
Judge of a man than I ipds.' I'M
doubtedly those words of the bluff
old Mexican and Indian fighter ex-
press the feeling of every southern
family towards the man whose life is
so interviewer with their history, that
they can well say, we are the best
Judges of the mans worth. And
whether public monument is ever
raised to his memory or not, every
southern family should have a monu-
ment of him all their own, in the form
of good portrait for framing. We
have Just received from the publishers,
|. S. johnson & Co., 22 Custom House
Street, Boston, Mass, a very hne por-
trait likeness OF jefferson Davis, with
autograph signature. The publishers
assure us the plates for it were en-
graved for them by one of the most
famous houses in America. The size
is l2x16, and has every appearance OF
an exquisite Sepis Etching. 1t is
suitable for framing to hang in any
parlor or library in our land. The
publishers propose placing the por-
traits for sale in the hands of every
druggist and general storekeeper in
the south; so that people can conven
iently get them. Ask your nearest
dealer for one. II he has not got
them, urge him to write johnson d

fishers will send one to any address

The remains of Mrs .sChas Benton, of Great Harrington, Were brought here for interment, on Tuesday of last week ... Mrs Montgomery, who has been engaged in missionary work in Turkey for twenty-five years, spoke in this village Monday evening. Although a very rainy evening a goodly number came out to hear her, and all felt repaid for doing so. Mrs Mont gomery speaks in very earnest and interesting manner, and all who listened to her must have been impressed with the importance of the work where she has spent so many years. Another accident occurred on the c. N B. X w. railroad, just south of this station Sun day evening which resulted in dcmolish- ing a couple of freight cars and scatter ing promiscuously two car loads of coal. No one was seriously injured, but no doubt one of the workmen, who was thrown for some distance over 8 wire fence, may have been somewhat sur prised to find that he had sustained no serious injury.

I commend to my fellow citizens the privilege of remembering the poor, the homeless and the sorrowful Let us endeavor to merit the promised recompense of charity and the gracious acceptance of our praise.
