JOB PfiINTINQ Of ,LL KINDS SOLICITED,
Work Proamptly and Neatly Done.
The mounicipal authorities of Natchez
have ordered an election to be held to
take the sense of the property holders of
that city t4l the question of authorizing
a Isnl issue for 0)50,000 in aid of the
constrnction of the Mississippi River
\\'W<*tern Railroad, the line projected
from Meridian to and across the river at
\atchez. The election is scheduled to
take place within the next thirty days.
Most citizens of Natchez are agreed that
the more railroad. Natchez can secure,
the better for the upbuilding of the town.
It is asserted that the projectors of the
line have already closed negotiations with
French banking concerns to take the en
tire haon issue for the building of the
line, amounting to $2,500,000, and the
work of construction will be begun at
lhoth entils of the line and pushed to com
pletion.
All the snrvcys for the line between
Natchez and Meridian have been made
and rights ,of way secured.
F,,r a portion of the way the old right
,f way if a railroad-the first ever built
in Mississippi eastward-will be used for
a distance of some twenty-five miles.
This \.ill lessen the cost of construction
materially.

DEATH OF CAPT. A. P. MARIIN.
iiThe death 06Capt. Augustus P.
Martin occurre at his home in Wa
terproof on We'lnesday morning af
ter a lingering illness.
('apt. Martin was one of the most
I idlu.ly known and universally pop
ular citizens of Tensas parish. For c
years he was engaged in the levee I
illtracting business and construct- I
el,, some of the largest and best
levees in this State. Retiring from
'this %,ork so,me ten years ago, he I
entered the receiving, forwarding
andI livery business at Waterproof,
Iic li he has conducted (most sue
fully.
('apt. Martin was a native of
i Englandl, but came to this country
\ hein quite young. Locating in
I Lo.uisiana he was amongst the first
to, answer Prest. Davis' call to arms
and served four years as a gallant
C',ofederate soldier, holding a cap
tain's commission under General'
BraIg's command at the close of
host ilities.
('apt. Martin was married some
ve:lrs after the civil war to Mrs.
L,,uise Turner of Waterproof, who
survives hiim.
'lThe dccased was a life-long Dem
,nrt, and rendered his State and'a
p:irty faithful service. In the dark
lays of reconstruction, in that age .i
thit tried men's souls, when white
iulpreiaivy was threatened, with all
ithe evils to civilization to follow, i
tlhere was no braver heart and cool- a
er ,headl or more eager hand enlist- t
et.I in the unequal struggle by which
a great commnonwealth was recov- n
cred frimn awful peril. 1
('apt. Martin was a good and af
feeti,:at, husband and true as steel i
to,, tls,, who possessed his friend- c
ship. Honest and manly in every act t
Ih. n joyedl the respect and confi- 1
hace of every one. He occupied e
many trusted places in his long and t
useful life, and in the evening of
his days was resting beneath his c
own vilne and fig tree, quietly a
awaiting that end that must some
,lay comen to all.
His remains were interred in Nat- c
lhez Thursday, followed by a large
,lincourse of sorrowing friends.
Mrs. Parmeter is reported as con
valescent since her severe illness
and though yet very weak is now
able to sit up. Mrs. Parmeter is
lih\olved by a large circle of friends
who were in constant attendance
throughout her illness. She has
:iasse.l a long and useful life in St.
.1,1seph1 and her days have been in
lustriously spent in the noble work
,f rearing her son to useful man
hood and equipping him for hon
irable stations in life.
