Jackson gave the National Editorial
Association a royal greeting. Welcome
addresses by Gov. Longino, Mayor
Todd, Bishop Thompson and Bishop
Galloway, reception at the Stag Club
and banquet at Masonic hall were the
leading features of an elaborate pro-
gram. The editors were greeted, on
arrival. with an artillery salute, and
music BY Prof. Leake's band. From
jackson they went to Vicksburg, thence
to New Orleans.
Mr.. Fucker, of New York, who is one
of the leading competitors for the
building of the new capitol for Missis-
sippi, proposes to erect in Jackson an
up-to-date hotel and eperahouse at
cost OF two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars He has been in Jackson for two |
months, and this is his decision after
careful study of the situation. The |
new capitol, a complete sewerage sys-
tenn, the central location of jackson, |
and the good country surrounding it,
all justify the belief that Jackson must
of necessity be a large and prosperous
city.
The new capitol bill was approved on
the 21st. The bill to issue bonds for
one million dollars, to pay for same,
has passed both houses. The bonds |
are non-taxable, 4 per cent. interest,
and run thirty years, with option by
the State to take them up in fifteen
years.
