Mr. Thaxton is too well known in this county to need any comment from us. Having been born and raised iu this county, and having acted as sten ographer for the court for the past sev en or eight years, and having shook the hand of every man, woman and child in the county, will make him a very strong candidate, and will show up many a hid den friendship for Mr. D.

She leaves four children, Pearly, Rosa, Lorenzo, and Grover, who have our sympathy. Though these chil dren have grand parents and relatives, both on the Harris and Gray side of the family, who will not let them suffer, still they are orphans, and may God temper the wind to the shorn lamb. From our best information, this is the lirst death by consumption in the Gray family, and could not have been inher ited. Mr, J. R. Guthrie has fixed himself up a Photograph gallery in the building opposite the Ait gus office, and will be pleased to have those desiring photographs made to call on him. JACKSON DOTS. Last Sunday was a beautiful day. It was neither too cold nor too hot, neither did the wind blow. There was no ex cuse for your scribe to stay at home, ao he attended 11 o’clock services at the Methodist church. The pulpit was oc cupied by Rev. T. W. Bell, who preached au able and practical sermon. He took for bis text Daniel 6 chapter and 7 verse: * “Now when Daniel knew that the writ ing was signed he went into his house, aud his windows being opened in his chamber towards Jerusalam, he kueeled upon his knees three times a day and prayed three times aud gave thanks unto his Qod, as he did oftentimes.” Daniel was a great and brr.ve man. not only a Christian, but an lionast official of his government. Would that we had more Dauial* in official posicion* today. Moral cowards are plentiful, but Daniels are few. I fear, if there is not a change the Daniels of this country are destined to trouble both as Christians and politi cal officials. R, W. M.

On Friday night27th inst., the pupils of Jackson Institute will present a dra- maentitled “Ri® Grande.” The play is one full of interest, provoking the vari ous emotions of mirth, sorrow, etc. The object of the play is two fold. Frst, to give the pupils practice in this kind of work, because such practice is beneficial. Secondly, as a means of getting some money with which to add some good, and much needed, books to the college library. A gentleman in this town has offered to give an Encyclopedia Britan naea to the library when a reasonable amount has been secured from other sources. The teachers and pupils hope to realize that amount from the play. Let every one attend, remembering that one admission fee will help put a good book ia every family in the town.
