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. Reept. N. J.

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 a member of the Funer al Directors Association. 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* Funeral Directors Association was if i ssion in the city of Nushvl e 1 hank ing vou in advance fur the correctim tnd kir.d mention of our nin e wliil iway from home Ver\ Ut spec:fully J. 8.

Contractof all kinds. "Are you aware that the man you have challenged is an expert swords man?” said one Parisian. "Certainly,” answered the other. "The fact gives me confidence. He is not likely to do anything clumsy and unexpected that might result in seri ous injury.”—Washington Star. ? 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? Citizen. GO AND SEE! Go and see the J. S. Johnson Co’s Bath Tub Lavatory and Water Clos ets, and Kitchen Sinks displayed in their show window, and give them your order right away and be ready to enjoy the com forts of water works. Get ready.

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.

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.
