Before Su;y begun the biogmpby she let fall a remark now and then concerning my character which show ed that she had it under observation. In the record which we kept of the children’s sayings there is an lustuuwi of this. She was twelve years old t the time.

The relatives of this man, as is well known, decided after his death to have his remains cremat ed, and the climax of the story occurs when the undertaker, opening the door of the oveu to see whether luolnaration was complete, was availed to hear the corpse speak out and request him to dose the door and shut off the draft.

The ymyn wttf dead!"—Q*r jfrer’g Week?/. 4 -***- HOT SHOT Tom and Jekry. Of all the obstacles in the way of civic progress to the coveted goal of perfection, Done is so difficult and so persistent as “The ring.” Whenever any municipality falls into the hands of a “ring,” growth ceases and contentment i9 at an end. “The ring” is a conscientiousless agregation of a few men who have worked themselves up to a belief that they are the whole “cheese,” with the knife thrown in, and have a per fect right to say : “Get out of the way you poor folks, niggers and Jews for we are coming.” “The ring” knows no gratification except to satisfy its own greed and to feather its own rest, Human na ture, untouched by the flow of Ual’ Vary’s criiaaoa tide has always, and will continue to be, exacting, despot ic and tyrannical, ‘‘The fear of the Lord ist he biginning of wisdom.” This is true now— has always beep true and will forever be true. “The ring” Hoon comes to know no “tear of the Lora,” and law is trampled un der foot and regard for love and con sideration for their fellows L thrown aside. Asa rule but one thing breaks up “the ring” and that is, an out raged and mistreated public, who re volt and come like a mighty ava lanche against it and crush it with their blood bought ballots. Let me say to every son of Adams race, BE NOT AFRAID. Your grievance il well founded and your cause, if just, will be upheld by the hand of the Mighty One. Have faith in your own cause. Believe strong enough in your own position to take a firm stand for its principles. Unless a man’s faith in his own position is strong enough to euuble him to fight for it himself, the world's testimonial concerning him will be given in tones of disap pointment. One man of mediocre mind and av erage ability, who has learned the po tency of the magic words “I believe; I can ; i will,” is worth a dozen phy sical and intellectual giants whose life motto is “1 am afraid.” When fear btC-imea even a tempo rary resident of the soul, determina tijn departs, the will is paraiized. courage is forgotten, and ambition dies a slow and painful death from starvation. The world has been rob bed of many an artist, many a sculp tor, many a musician, many an ora tor, and many a statesman, by rea. sou of tne subtle blandishments of fear. Talent is a useless thing, and opportunity but an idle hour for him whose heart has become inoculated with this deadly virus. What need for Tom and Jerry to fear? Does he not know that the rights of the common people are ig nored and daily the safe guards of the law of right, and the law of love, and the law of the land is brushed aside to suit the selfish ends of “the ring?’’ We know our grievance is weil founded, we know we have studiously adhered to FACTS, and we know the poor are being made to carry an un just burden of taxes while the rich favored few aod ‘the ring 'are toting the tail end of the log. Keep up the fight? Certainly we mean to keep knocking at the public conscience till the people are freed or driven into abject slavedom at the hands of ‘the nog" This same ring tried to domin ate, last year, Butt’s seat in the Leg islature and dictate to the County as to who should live in the Court House. The capacious maw of "the ring" never satisfies its hunger. The more the people feed it, the hungrier it grows, and the more domineering in its relation to the public. We ask by what argument can the public be re fused! the information it desires in reference to the assessment of the real estate in Jackson? None ex cept “WE ARE IT" and the public can go where it doesn’t snow. Oh, if we could oaly get those as sessment books I Wewould then show to the public who are carrying tbe tax burden of the town which was created by loading a lot of niggers with mean liquor and carraling them over night like so many Texas steers and voting them for bonds, which fas tened a debt on the widows and un born children of Jackson. The most disgusting sight I ever beheld was to see the Mayor of Jack- Bon. a white mjin, march to the polls with two niggers, one on each side of him, and all three lay their bollots, one on the other, in the box for bonds, when neither has as much real estate to tax as a grave-jard lot. As I watched them walking side by aide I wondered which was beiDg lift ed on the social plain, the nigger or the wnite man. It is time for an outruged public to THINK. Your head wus not made exclusively for hat rack. In it are brains, and put those brains to thin! - ing for yourself, and not let the man who pays you daily, weekly or month ly wages think for you legal Advertisments. For Administration.

Autry and Erichsen, Tonsorial Parlors. Where can there be found for a town the size of Jackson a barber shop that, for excel lency in every respect, one which will surpass the parlors of Jno. Autry and Albert Ericlison? They are the very cleverest and best fellows go ing and can, either of them, give you such service.that will tickle you to death. Besides they have Jim Blackburn and Lem W hitten with them and they can’t be beat as workmen, nor excelled for cleverness as men. The shop is kept in ship-shape condition. A shop run, and work done by white men is far superior to the hops we ate accustomed to find run by that class of citi zens that know bnt little about cleanliness It is real pleasure able to be shaved by a white man, who is clean in work and character as well as cantrast with a workman otherwise. Mr. Autry is a loyal member oi the Presbyterian church while Mr - Erichsen worships at the Methodist Church The other two named are lovers of the Baptist church. J ackson should be proud of such men and the character of business they do. Mr. Autry has already bought him a home in Jackson, while Mr* Eriohsen is on the lookout for one.
