THE NEW DOWNTOWN MARKET.
The market under the hill has been
opened once more, this time under the
management of Atwood & Harrison.
Everything about the market has been
fitted up in apple pie order and looks as
sweet and clean as could be desired.
They have large, modern cooler and
will handle the best in line of natives and
Western beef. They have put in a nice
line of canned goods, fruits, etc., in their
season. As both are young and energetic
men, there Is no doubt they will achieve
success. A market in the lower part OF
the village Ia great convenience and
the new proprietors expect to make a
success of it. They invite the farmers to
stop in as they are driving home and &c,
their meats.

CONSTABLES.

The Legislature of this State con
vened in regular session last Tuesday
The Senate and House completed their
organization. Hon. A. J. Russell. OF
Lauderdale, was elected Speaker OF the
House and Hon. l., Pink Smith, OF
Washington, reelected Clerk. Hon,
John X. Dinsmere, OF NOxubee, was
elected President protein of the Sen.
ate, and Hon. John Y. Murray, jr.,
was reelected Secretary Of the Senate.
Governor McLaurin's message was
read in both houses on Wednesday.
The Governor treats at length the 4.
nancial condition OF the State and
recommends the redemption OF $780,
600 Of the bonds Of the State. He is
heartily in favor OF a textile school, or
a large appropriation for a textile
branch to the A. and NJ, College. He
urges a much larger appropriation for
the old Confederates. and suggests
that $4,000 be appropriated, 50 as to
give each old soldier a sum that will
help in buying the nccessaries of life,
and make the last days OF his life a
little easier. He does not think the
State would ever regret the gener-
GUS act.

THE NEW YEAR.

The year nineteen hundred has
come: how swiftly the wheels NJ time
%revolve. How :m%perccptibly years
roll round and glide into the eternal
reservoir Of the past. What a record
OF hopes and fears, Of exhubcrant Joy,
and wailing anguish-yea OF all the
antithesis OF mortality mingled in a
confused mass will be Theoretically
sealed till the final assize, when the
closing year went down into its gap
ing tomb. 1t is pleasing TO know
that our fallen nature has many
bright spots imprinted upon it and.
that mcm0ry's urn placed at the por-
tails Of this tomb will burn with the
pure flame OF love and emit the
fragrant incense OF good deeds long
after the old year was buried. The
hopes and fears, the crimes and vir.
tues of the past will lie beneath, but
the Ia nbent light Of remembered love
and the curling incense of cherished
kindness will cheer our spirits in the
onward journey.
Now that the heavy monarch has
fallen, covered with winters frost and
sleeps in peace, let us strive to oil his
successor with lofty aims and en-.
.nobling actions. Let US strew his
path with the shattered diamonds, OF
energy and the gold dust of resolu-
'tion. May the immortals OF sympa.
thy and good feeling crown his infant
head and brighten in their lustre as
the days and hours roll along. so that
when he too shall be gathered to the
grave Of his fathers w shall be nobler,
kinder and better people than ever
before.

1t Is to be hoped that the Legisla-
ture OF this State, now In session, will
get down to work and not take up so
much time in wrangling over meas.
ures OF no Importance whatever. A
new capitol building IS needed badly,
and the taxpayers Of the State are
perfectly willing to be taxed for a
~commodious, well built and up to date
house, and we believe $500 900 Is suf-
fcient to pay Cor such a building. The
present site, In our Judgment. Is the
proper place for It's erection. 1t Is
central and the most eligible In the
city Of Jackson. There Is M good
reason why any other place should be
selected,
