Parish Bridge.

The following report was made
by Messrs. Melville & Thompson
to the Mayor and Board of Alder
man of Jackson at their last
meeting:
A communication from Nc
Willie & Thompson, former city
attorneys. conveyed the infor-
nation that the city of Jackson
had no more to do with the keep
ing up of Parish Bridge, in Ran
kin county, than any private
citizen who happened to own
land through which the bridge
and road runs, the corporate
limits Of the city not extending
that far. They had been asked
to submit the matter to the SUI
preme court, but state there is
nothing upon which to submit it,
the law being plain and there
being no legal basis for putting
it before the bench.

"The object of this league is the
suppression of the saloon. To this
end we invite the alliance of all who
are in harmony with this object, and
the league pledges itself to avoid
affiliation with any political party as
such, and to maintain an attitude Of

me when he died, which was May 23,
1858, at Fort Lyon, Col.
HE was wounded three times,
once at Buena Vista, by an Indian at
Platte and in the battle of Chick
amauga.
II have always wondered why Mr..
Roosevelt, who talks 80 much about
square DEAL did not give greater
credit to Captain Kit in his Win
ming of the West Yes, it was won,
and but for Carson the winning
would have been postponed half
century.
Then he arose, leaned on his staff
and said "Goodby. I'm SO years old;
my days are numbered; but I want
to keep my memory to the last hour
of life and recall all that life with
Kit Carson on the plains fighting In
dians, and my friends Of the old
South. I am going to Memphis to
the Confederate reunion in June to
see once more the old fighting I'll
gers of Louisiana that helped make
a hard time for the enemy Of. the
SOS.
"And don't you forget" he said
again, that Kit Carson did more to
help the United States in conquering
the Indians than any man or many
Of them that ever lived"
A picturesque figure was the old
warrior as he walked away, stalking
like the trappers Of long ago. or the
savages that feared old Carson,
whose body seemed to them charmed
arrows glancing aside as II guided
by the White Spirit.

Early was his kinsman, as well as

walks like an Indian" a by
stander remarked regarding an oil
weather-beaten man who carried
plainsman's cowhide grip and walk
ed with long, thick staff.
There was a certain air of adven
ture about him that induced the pat

the Grand Central station.

tame now, and the stirring life o.

the far West, where I was advised
not to go, 80 thick were the Indians
and wild beasts. But the fighting
fever was on me, and so wandered
on.
"After a time I had my wish.
found my hero after much search
and told my story. He was then In
the prime Of life. I had imagined a
lion in weight, a giant in height,
with a roaring voice and lightning
eye.
Instead, I saw a rather small
man, weighing about $50 pounds.
His voice was soft and line, like a
woman's, and his manner as gentle
as child's. He laughed at my wish
to conquer Indians, but to make the
story shorter he finally let me 60
with him, and until a few years be-
fore the fall of Sumter we were al
ways together. would have gone
back with him, but I wanted to run
a cotton boat on the Mississippi.
Then the war changed all. Captain
Kit wrote me that he had volun-
