It may seem a little boastful on our part, but it is nevertheless a tact that Jackson is possessed with the very highest order of citizens, both those doing business here or tilling profes sions. Wo have the very best and the most enterprising merchants, the most skilled mechanics, the finest dressmaking and millinery artist, while our lawyers, physicians, dentist and teachers cannot be excelled in the 6tates. Our churches are also presid ed over by the best and most eloquent pastors the state affords and our peo ple generally are hightoned and the best in the world. The New York hanks have a sur plus of $57,000,000 above the legal requirements and deposits are rap* idly iucreasing. The surplus mon ey iu New York is the greatest in the history of the country, with the exception of the surplus of $64,000,- 000, which was reported in 1885, tin year alter the panic precipitated by the Grant and Ward failure of May, 1884. The big surplus of 1885 was followed by renewed activity in the latter half of that year f 1886 and 1887, and culminating in the boom of 1887. An exchange tells of a young man who is very particular about his washing. Recently he wrote a note to his washer*woman and one to his sweetheart and by a strange fa tality he put the wrong address on each envelope and sent them off The washerwoman was well pleated with Ibe invitation to take a ride the next day, but when the young lady read, “It you tumble up my shirt bosom as you did last time, I will go somewhere else.’* she cried all the evening and declared she would never speak to him again, A newspaper defined is a library It is an encyclopedia, a poem, a history, a dictionary, a time-table, a romance, a guide, a political rc sume, a ground-plan of the civil ized world, a low priced multum in parvo. It is a sermon, a song, a circus, an obituary, a ship wreck, a symphony in cold lead; a medlev of life and death and a grand ag gregation of man's glory and hie shame. It is, in short, a bird's-eye view of all the magnanimity and meanness, the joys and sorrows, births and deaths, the pride and and poverty of the world--all for a few cents.—Bill Nye. Cornelius Vanderbilt is building a 15,000,000 residence in New York City, which he expects to open on New Year’s eve. That is a good deal of money to put into a private residence, but that is a much better use for the money than locking it up in the vaults. The mistake of the Harrison ad ministration was in adopting high wayman methods on the Hawaiiar island. It was an error of pronun ciation and not of the heart. The buildings on the world’s faii grounds are soiling for a mere song The Mmntsota building, which cos SB,OOO, was sold for $276. Oibei buildings are selling at about th same price. The supply exceed? thg demand just at this time.
