N TIS Ls JACKsON. ;~~ ift~·-v: The river is rising slightly at practically every point from St. Louis down. The Town Marshal has been busy this week making improvements in the plank walks about town. Messrs. A. Isaacs and son, Hen ry Isaacs, of "Paradise," were visi tors to Natchez last Sunday. Sunday School at 10 a. m. Sun da) morning at the Union Church and prayer meeting at night. The America passed down yester day and is advertised to leave the city next Monday evening, the 10th. One prisoner was released from jail this week and with no new ar rivals the list now numbers fourteen. Mr. Siegfried Jaeger, of Vicks burg, has accepted a position with Mr. L. Blackman, in St. Joseph. The School Board was to have met on Monday but due to the ab sence of a quorum the meeting could not be held. Our Jewish citizens will on next Thursday celebrate Yum Kiper, a very prominent holiday in the He brew calendar. Mr. W. T. Lanius and nephew, Master Lanius Durbin, spent last Sunday morning with Mrs. W. E. Lanius, in St. Joseph. Miss Jennie Bonney and Miss Carrie Hopkins spent several days this week with Mr. and Mrs. F. O. Adams at Locust Ridge. Mr. Adolph Elgutter, now of Baton Rouge, returned to the Cap itol on Sunday last after a stay of about two weeks looking after his business interests in Newellton. Mr. W. M. Rogillio, seed buyer for the Tensas Cotton Oil Co., was accompanied to St. Joseph last Sun day by his sweet little girl, Miss Erma, who made many frienes dur ing her visit. The regular quarterly statements of the Banks of Newellton and St. Joseph are published to-day and the showing made by each of these in stitutions reflects most creditably upon their management. Dr. Jas. M. Adams, Parish Health Officer, having moved to Oklahoma, and having tendered his resignation to the Police Jury, that body at its meeting this week, elected to fill the vacancy, Dr. L. A. Murdock. The choice is a good one and the Board is to be congratulated on its selec tion, as well as the parish on secur ing Dr. Murdock's services. Mrs. A. S. Lewis has accepted the position of night operator at the telephone exchange in St. Joseph. Her duties are not new to her: she has been there before, and the pa trons of the .ompany are to be con gratulated on her return to her former post, which she filled in time past with such entire satisfaction to company and patrons alike. Messrs. Karl Lehmann & Son, the popular jewelers of Natchez, are advertising that they will give a free ticket with every cash purchase of one dollar between now and the first of January on a beautiful 5-piece solid silver Gorham Tea Service, which will be raffled on that day, the lucky holder of the winning number capturing the prize. Their jewelry stock is complete and one of the most magnificent ever brought to Natchez. Quite a little consternation was created by the interested in St. Jo seph this week when several gentle men found themselves subpoenaed to serve on the Federal Grand Jury to convene at Monroe next Monday. Those summoned are: T. H. Snod grass, N. H. Clark, D. F. Ashford, Ashford O'Kelley, German Baker, Chas. C. Skinner1 A. M. Smith and A. Bondurant. And they did all with one accord begin to make ex cuse" to Judge Aleck Boarman, re questing His Honor to excuse them from serving. With what success they had we have not learned, but certain it is that the laws of the Medes and Persians were not more unchanging or unmerciful than Uncle Sam's are, and unless their requests are granted it is hghl probable that everul 8S.
