Lyony General Ticket Agent. The Co-Operative Life Association of Mississippi is steadily growing in public favor. A glance at the names of the gentlemen who comjHse the Directory of the Association cannot fail to inspire confidence in its integrity and fair dealing. Quite a numlier of the citizens of Jackson have taken out policies in the Association within the last two weeks. Messrs.

Peabody and Townsend, agents of the Association, are here in that interest. Mr. A. L. Brunson has been appointed local agent, and if he succeeds as well in life insurance as he has in the sewing machine business, he will increase his claims as a public benefactor.

Maj. Hemingway, State Treasurer, whose name is another term for integrity, is at the head of the Association. This age is a progressive one, and improvements are continually suggesting themselves in almost every department of human life. Labor-saving inventions and machinery are early sought for, to accomplish in a few hours' time, what usually was the toil of days and even weeks. The farm, the household, the workshop, the factory, all posses unmistakable evidences of this wonderful age of progress.

It remained, however, for the eminent house of Taylor, well known as one of the leading dry-goods firms of New York City, to introduce vast improvements in the old shop ping method, and to make shopping easy" for every laily in the country. There is no ex cuse for ladies to fatigue themselves with travel and to undergo its hundred and one annoyan ces, when they cau purchase every article need ed for the wardrobe or houshold without leav ing their homes. Messrs. Lord Taylor will send, on application, free of charge, sam ples of any of the newest piece of goods for Spring and Summer wear, which they adver tise, with prices attached to each. Selections from these are readily made orders for goods received, filled by the house, and returned by fast trains to the purchaser.

This surely is a material improvement for the slow method of former days, as by this system time, money, la bor and annovances are al 1 saved. The busi ness standing of this eminent house makes this announcement worthy of attention, as they can be relied upon implicitly to accomplish whatever thev advertise to do. A Desirable Publication.

Mr. St. Cvr is eisrhtv-two vears of age, and belonged to the ride company of the Battalion d'Orleans, which was commanded on the memorable eighth of January ty Plauche. He is still -an active man, and moves about with all the elasticity of youth. Mr.

Ravmond is eurhtv-hve. and was a member ot the same battalion in the battle at Chalmette. Full of vigor and well-preserved strength, he, like his fellow veteran, looks twenty years younger than he is. Both, strange to say, enjoy the companionship of wives they married sixty years ago. It was interestinsr to listen to their story of the battle, to note how the eye would sparkle, and the cliest heave as they recounted the fighting of that day.

Plauche's command was on the right, they said, and hail for its protection only a low breastwork ot earth. In the embrasures for the caunon there were two or three bales of cotton, but none in breast works. The battle was hot from the time the lust gun was fired, until the red coats withdrew from the field. Plauche's command, Mr. Raymond says ss composed of a ritle company, one oi dragoons, the Blues of Capt; Maunsel hite, the Le Francs and the Chasseurs.

Of the whole command but six are now alive, and thev are C. Ravmond, S. St. Cyr, S. St.

Cyr, Jeau Gcrvais, Jean Lamothe and P. XI. La- piee. The occasion which brought about tne meet ing with these tried veterans was to congratulate them on a new lease of life they had jus. received.

For some vears thev were almost blind from cataract of the eye, and could barely tell day. light from darkness. The skillful hand and knife of that celebrated oculist here, Dr. Cornelius Beard, ojencd the jnirtals of vision to those old soldiers, and they see again. The cure must have been wonderful, for nature at eighty-five years has but little vital force of revivication lett.

iSoth were happy over the gift of a sense of which they were so loug bereft, ami sjxke of the doctor in a feeling manner, of his delicacy and extreme tenderness. The doctor has, it seems, been remarkably fortunate in all of his cases of cataract amongst elderly men. Our fellow townsmen, Adolph Dupre, C. Toledana and many others Lave lieen also restored to sight. Mr.

Dupre is one of the noblest examples of our true crvole stock. 'Seventy-eight years of age, he has all the vivacity of his youth, and in conversation is more agreeable than those whose years fall short of him two score. His face is classical and shows the true type of a Louisianian, and now that his sight is nearly restored will enjoy for years to come the caresses of his grandchildren. In 1815 he was too young to enlist in the cause of New Orleans, but since our victorv he has ever been a firm and unlliuehing defender of the people's rights. It is somewhat remarkable that such a number of our oldest families should lie so successfully operated upon by the same physician.

During the long conversation Messrs. St. Cvr and Ravmond gave manv incidents of the eighth of January which we have not space to publish. lett them looking as happy and contented as voung lovers Guard Against Consumption, That life destroying scourge, by promptly subduing with the aid of Parker's Ginger Ton ic every attack of Cough, Cold, orSore Throat.

Carroll Conservative. An unfortunate killing affair occurred on near the plantation of our Sheriff, W. F. Hamilton, on Tuesday evening last, in which one innocent colored man lost his life, and another was severely wounded. The particulars, as we hear them are about as follows: Two white men were out hunting some escaped convicts, and coming up with the two above named colored men in the road, ordered them to halt, when from fright or some other cause, the two colored men ran into the woods, where they were fired upon, one of them being killed instantly, and the other seriously wouded.

The Chicago, St. Louis and New Or leans Kailroaa. New Orleans Times. The Vice President of the Jackson railroad has decided to resume work ballasting the line between this point and Canton on the 1st of April proximo. 1 he company has two gravel pits one ai Brookhaven and one at Chatawa each of fair quality of gravel, from which last season about fiftv miles of the Southern divisiou of the road was ballasted, when the work was inter rupted by the fever.

It is proposed new to work a steam shovel at Chatawa, and a con tract has been made with parties from Jack-son. to load from fifty to one hundred cars daily from the nit at Brookhaven. If the weather is favorable to construction work durinar the coming summer, one hundred more miles at least will be ballasted this sea son. The track across the swamo has been raised nearly two feet, and is now eighteen inches above the highest water for many years. Other expensive improvements have been made to the line.

Over eight hnndred thousand new cross ties have been put upon the road by its present owners, and nearly thirty-two thousand tons of new rails, of which twen ty thousand tons are steel. It is proposed during the present year to add about three thousand tons to this figure, making a total oi thirty-five thousand tons, corresponding to three hnndred and eighty-six miles of road absolutely relaid bv the Dresent owners. The company has extended its line from Fillmore to East Cairo, and the transfer is now made from the time of arrival of the train at East Cairo to its being attached to the St. Louis train on the" Cairo side in twenty-two minutes, thus saving more than one honr -i roll over me previous teaious iransii lruiu more. A mong the other additions of the company, three hundred add seventy-five freight cars and ten engines have been purchased, and an arrangement has recently been concluded with the Pullman Company for new drawing-room cars for the present season.

With this improved condition of the property, the general manager purposes to make better speed, and trains will reach Milan and Cairo in several hours less time than in previous years. The work done upon this railway in two years past, including the construction, rebuilding of bridges and culverts, and laying of thirty-two thousand tons of rails, is fully equivalent to the construction of two hundred pules of new road.

We do not know what are the feelings of the doctor in regard to this matter, but we would only remark that should Tippah be so fortunate as to secure the nomination for one of her sons, it could not be conferred upon one more worthy or better qualified in every respect to discharge me tiuues oi me responsible position than he.

Columbus Independent. The following are the facts: The wife of Bill Gilmer, a negro, was cooking for XIrs. Wood, wife of T.

B. Wood, a lawyer of Stark-ville, but mised in Columbus. Last week Bill was whipping his wife who ran into XIrs. Wood's room for protection. Gilmer followed hejr into the kioiu and used insulting language to Mrs.

Wood. When Xlr. Wood came home and learned of the insult to his wife, he hunted the negro, Gilmer, and whipped hini. Last night he was returning home and had entered his vard when he was fired npon from a double-barrel shot-gun. He was badly shot in the head and face and right breast.

Xlr. Wood identified his assailant as Bill Gilmer. The doctors are not yet able to tell whether the wounds will prove fatal. Oilmer has tied and etiorts are being made to capture him. About Yellow Fever Quarantine.

Memphis Appeal. Xlr. C. E. Wright, editor of the Vicksburg Herald, just now in Washington, says in a note to the correspondent of the New ork Times, what every man in this part of the Xlississip-pi valley must indorse, that "the yellow fever cost the South many mill ion dollars last year, and the depressing fleets upon all occupa tions are still felt.

About this matter the South is in a state of suspense a condition which is hurtful to all our business interests. A wise, urm Natioual law would at once restore confidence, li it would not entirely keep out the plague, it would at least enable the National authorities to delay its march and give notice of its approach.

Towns along the Jackson Railroad, where the yellow fever was epidemic last summer, are making every effort to secure such a state of cleanliness as to give them everv hope of avoiding a recurrence ot the epmemic nereai-ter.

L. Nugent, offered the preamble and resolutions Whereas, On the 21st of April 1S73, the Miyor and Aldermen of the city of Jackson, were authorized, by act of th Legislature, to refund the outstanding debt of our city to the amount of 50,000. The proviso to the' third section of said act prohibiting the issuance, in any year, of warrants in excess of the revenue of said city for that year; and, Whereas, Notwithstanding said prohibition warrants were issued, subsequent to the llh day of April 1S73, in excess warrants of 9aid city, to such an extent that on the 1st day of February lS7i the said Mavor and Aldermen were, by" another act of the Legislature, parsed on that day, authorized and empowered to issue an additional series of bonds, to bear interest at the rate of ight per cent per annum, no limit being fixed to the amount of bonds which were to be issued; and Whereas, The rate of taxation has increased in order to provide for the payment of warrants which were issued in excess of revenue, and the warrants of said city have continually gone down in value and Whereas, The tax-payers and people of said city are interested in the mutter aud desire to know the reason for this anomalous condition of things and to be protected against the oft recurring funding bills under laws which place no limit upon the power to issue bonds iu payment thereof therefore, be it 1. RiMtlrr1, That the Chairman appoint a committee of three discreet accountants, citizens of the said city, who are hereby charged with the dutv of ncikinz a full, fair and impas sioned examination of the books, papers, records, vouchers, settlements and accounts in the office of said Mayor and Aldermen, and in the offiee of the Citv Assessor and Collector of taxes and ascertain all the facts ami reasons for the present condition of things and report to a future Convention of the tax-pavers of this city. 2.

That the Chairman appoint a committee of three citizens of this citv who shall be charged with the dutv of consulting with the first com mittee appointed under these resolutions after thev shall have concluded their examination and reporting to this Convention what steps, if anv, mav be necessarv to correct the evils under which we are laboring, and reduce the present rate of taxation as well as to formulate a plan to prevent future difficulties. Col. Nugent, in a well-timed speech, support ed the resolutions. Col. J.

L. Power stated that as a school trustee he knew that the teachers warrants were cashed dollar for dollar. Alderman J. S. Hamilton said that no school warrants were issued unless the money was in the treasury to pay them.

Capt. John Kstelle said that he was iu favor of the resolutions but oppose to the preamble, that somebody was on trial, and that no expression should be made as to the facts until the comtuittees, provided for in the resolution, reported. Hon. P. Harris supported both pream ble and resolutions.

He said that the tax payers needed the investigation so that they migh.t know something of the city finances, aud the administration of city affairs. That in his opinion the machinery of the city government was too large for the city itself that instead of our being too big for the breeches, the breeches are too big for us. Mayor John XIcGill said that he dissented trom the preamble; that in his opinion they ated as facts things that were not facts, but thit he would make no captious opposition to them as li2 wanted the investigation, and he therefore moved the adoption of the resolu tions. There was no opposition, and the preamble and resolutions, as above, were adopted unan imously. A running talk was then had as to where the investigation should begin, and it was finally agreed that the Committee should begin at the first issuance of warrants after first funding of warrants in 1873.

Col. Nugent stated that the Chair would probably not be aldo to appoint the committees then, and moved that he be allowed to do so after adjournment. The Chairman stated t'lat he would prefer to have time so that he might make proper selections. The motion as adopted, and the meeting adjourned sub ject to the call of the Chairman. The Committees.
