To Whom It May Concern.
From the number of complaints
made to the Semi-Weekly .Journa;
and to mvself, it is evident that there
wore errors made in one or the other
of the offices in book-keeping last
year, I have left a list of names, as
nearly correct as I could secure with
Mr. S. E. Andrews and I hope all
those whose subsciptions to the two
papers under the clubbing offer I
made in the Jackson Record (now the
Jacksonian) last year that does no'
come up to time, will leave the receipt,
if they have one, and the tag off the
currant issua of the paper and I will
make them agree, ihe tangled con
dition of the subscription list should
Dot hurt the Jacksonian nor reflect
upon Mr. Andrews, as I am to blame
for any arrors that occurrd in the
office last year. No one shall loseactnt
on account of it but myself. If the
errors, or any of them occured in the
Journal office I know they they will
make the correction, otherwise I will
make it.

to see that every human feeling is
Dot slavish, since you went into the

have learned that it is at least possi

right and condemn wrong. The peo

you.

stopped but the future looks better
today.

Mr. Editor,
Jacksonian,
My Dear Sir :-
By special re
quest I will write a few lines for your
most interesting paper. Both mv
County payers find their way to me
now and then, tho in my perigrina
tions it is somewhat hard for me to
get them regularly. To say that they
are always welcomed gladly, is but to
put it mildly. No, all the time on
the road in meetings my heart is al
ways concerned about my own peo
ple. Since God swung me out into the
evangelistic field, I have travelled
some 12000 miles, in eleven States
and the Dist. of Columbia. Have seen
hundreds saved and sanctified, and
hundreds have united the differ
ent Churches under my ministry, for
which I give God all the glory.
Have raised thousands of dollars
for Missions, home aDd foreign. Assis
ting in building several churches of
wh’ch one is named “McCord’s Chap
el. By the way some of the Butts Cos
people have a part in same. I thank
them for their contributions. We
were recently in Brooks Cos known ae
one of the .best in the state for its
hog and hominy” as well ns cotton
and other things, and it is about the
home In which we were so royally en
tertained, that I wish to speak a few
words. The owner is J. J. Hodges. He
has something over 3000 acres of land
*nd some 75 negroes who have never
b “on off his place, many of whom
were there long bafore the war. The
labor problem does not worry him, in
fact he is opposed to it. Doesn’t like
rhe idea of bringing foreigners here to
marry into our Southern families, etc,
etc. Bro. Hodges certainly knows
how to entertain and it is a real lux
ury to have such servants to wait a
round the house as are his. We are
now at SopertOD. God gave us g a
cious meetings in Broolcs, saving the
County Surveyor and County Treas
urer, along with many others.
This is a nice town, has two banks
and seems to be doing nice business.
Rather cold end hard spiritually, th<>
we are expecting signal victory in Je
sus’ name. The stores are closing
now for the meetings. The writer has
visited and prayed in 77 homes here,
encountering people of different
creeds, such as the Mormons, Advents
Christian Scientist, Campbellites.
Primitive Baptist, Presbyterians,
Baptists aud Methodists. The town
is oniv übout 5 years old. Many left
their letters in other parts, also their
dear Savior. We are fasting and pray
ing for victory.
Our next meeting begins Ist. Sun
day in June in McClain Miss. Wish
all Christians would p r ay earnestly
for the success of the Gospel there.
With love and best wishes for ail
your readers. I am,
Your humble brother.
W. Wnlstein McCord.
Neither a Banker nor

We appreciate the kied mention oi
our name in both of the Newspapers
of our town in recent issues but some
way both failed to get exact ly thoob
ject of our recent trip to Nashville
Tennessee. Our trip was one of impor
tance both to our customers i.n'
to oursi Ives. That of getting the ben
,-fit of Lectures by Prof. Carl Barnes
of Chicago, on embalming and and sin
fecting of dead bodies. Wo were no
;n attendance of the National funeral
directors association, nor the Nation
al Bankers association as we are no'
a member of either of these associa
tions. These Lectures were furnished
by the National Casket Cos. of Nat-h
ville for the benefit of their friends
and customers, while the Tennesse*

"Are you aware that the man you

"Certainly,” answered the other.
"The fact gives me confidence. He is

The Mayor s Bull-dog;, j
There is an ordinance prohibiting
vicious ac:mals running at large on
the streets of Jackson. |
In the name of what is right, J ask
the City Officials why should the
Mayor not keep the ordinance as well
as others?
His bull-dog is the terror of Ihe
community In which the Mayor lives.
His neighbors are afraid to pass along
the streets by his house. Parents are
are in constant dread that the dog
will literally eat their children up,
and yet there is an ordinance to meet
just, such a case and it is ignored by
the Mayor.
If a Countryman should happen to
get a little boozy, the Marshalls would
make a case against him very quick,
and yet right before their eyes the
dog ordinance is violated every day
and nothing said about it.
Just such partiality shown by our
town oifiicials is why the Country
people hate Jackson. Many of them
f >r tliis reason go to other markets to
trade. Should not the Marshalls be
no respector of persons Jn the en
forcement of the laws?

Cormorants Trained to Fish.
Cormorants are familiar enough ob
jects fishing on the outlying rocks be
low the cliffs whereon they nest, or
seated upon the posts which mark th®
course of the channel in a tidal harbor,
their brilliant emerald eyes ever on th©
watch for fish. But few people are
perhaps aware that these great black
uncouth looking birds were at onetime
trained In England to catch fish for
(ho amusement of royalty. The sport
was introduced into this country from
the court of France in the time of
Louis XIII. The French courtiers had
been taught the method of taming and
training these birds by a Dutchman,
whose countrymen had already learned
It during their voyages In the east.;
For It is to the Chinese and Japanese
fishermen that European nations were
first indebted for a knowledge of the
sport.--London Graphic.
The Cocter of Morocco.
In Morocco tlie costermonger recom
mends his wares by pledging the cred
it of a saint: “In the utmie of Mulal
Idris.-;! Boast chestnuts!’’ “In the
inline of our lord Mohammed A1 Hadji!
l’opcoru! Popcorn!” “In the name o£
Sidna All-bu-I'hafeh! Melons! Nice,
sweet melons!” “God Is gracious!
Cool water!" These and the like are
heard at every turn. Even the auc
tioneer who is calling out the price of
a slave girl or tin* bids for a carpet is
careful to interlard his professional
taik with allusions to his Maker and
the plethoric roll of Moorish saints.
A Man of Fsw Words.
The Marquis of Hertford, the found
er of the celebrated Wallace art col
lection, was a man of few words to his
agents, but his words were to he obey
ed to tlie letter. Tims he directed them
to purchase a Rubens on a <• i tain occa
sion, but after they bad bid the paint
ing up to about $30,000 the agents
weakened and permitted It to tie knock
ed down to another bidder. When his
lordship was Informed of this he wrote
them, “When in future I ask you toi
purchase anything for me I expect your
to do go.”—Westminster Gazette.
