School for Girls, We herewith give the

Church. Jackson. last week:
"Inasmuch as there have been pre-
sented to the synod's committee on
nomination of q place for the location

en- a number Of propositions from
clties. accompanied with earnest In
vitations to visit these cities to see
the various sites offered, and this to be

ground; be 1t -.
"Resolved, That the committee visit

forth their advantages.
No season would be allowed to pass
by the rumor-makers without a fully
developed and ofttimes overgrown u

great number of thousands that is so
easy to raise on paper) hotel in Jack
son. The past winter has been par
ticularly prolific in umo Of this
sort, and doubtless the next season
will keep up the city's reputation
along this line. But we are thankful
to say that while "rumors may come
and rumors may CO." there is a good
citizen of Jackson who, with $25, 600,
is going quietly ahead with the work
of remodeling the old Edwards House
and making OF 1t a comfortable, com
modious and thoroughly up-to-date
hotel. With s25, 900, guided and con
trolled by his great knowledge OF
building, the value of materials and
his extensive control of these mate
rails, Mr.. |. c. Enochs can do as much
as any other man with twice or thrice
the amount he is putting into the
hotel. And when he says that Jack
son will have a good hotel, it is a set
tied fact that the travelling public il
henceforth to eat in comfort and sleeI
in peace where once stood the ancient
budding known to fame as the Ed
wards House. The house will BIZ
closed May l for r~emodeling, ant
when it is opened Jackson will have
a good hotel, despite the fact that thu
rumor-makers had nc hand in thu
business. This is not the first Bis
thing for Jackson that Mr.. Enochs haI
done in his transformations but mos
effective way. He and his brother
have helped to make a city of thu
town they found when they located il
? Jackson.
The population of Mississippi 1
| somewhat decreased this week, and
census Of the Lone Star State, il takel
= now, would doubtless show a wonder
full though temporary increase II
population. Every train that left tn
State from Friday, the 18th inst, u
to the last day of the limit was full
and overlooking with Confederate vel
Grams and their families and friends
We believe and hope that every cam,
: in the State was well represented b.
the gallant old soldiers. And we ais
. be..eve that every camp had a spor
sor and every sponsor her retinue q
q maids. At any rate, the trains pass
ing through Jackson had more fai
maidens than old soldiers aboard. Blu
r this seemed to be just what the vetel
n ans-gallant to the last-desired, an
they seemed to be finding the girl
y Of today almost as charming as wer
those of Aud Lang Syne." Indeed
;, the bright eyes and rosy lips, wit
countless other charms, of the girl
- they left behind them forty years az
seemed all to live again in thei
> daughters and granddaughters-th
girls they took along with them I
make brighter and sweeter the flee
# ing days of the reunion In Dallas.
1t is greatly to lie credit of ou
!, State that the people in all section
are so actively interested in the Beal
voir plan. The camps of veterans, tn
Sons and Daughters everywhere seeI
n imbued with a desire to aid in tn
II early contamination of this nobl
a work, and the larger towns are ha'
n ing enthusiastic public meetings, @
