JONES, Bank 329 and 331 West Capitol street Monday evening a good sized audience greeted the "Dazzler" at the Opera House.

This farcical comedy was well received and elicited great laughter and applause. There is no visible plot, but an abundance of good dancing, excellent singing and comical situations. Miss Boyd proved a great favorite and many were the encores she received. Mr. Joseph Ott is a commedian of the first water, lne tact tnat ne never smiles, and bears a striking resemblance to a popular Jackson amateur makes him look the more ridiculous and the encores the more thunderous.

The chorus was fine and taking it all together the "Dazzler" is one of the best shows that has stopped here in many days. THE ANNUAL INSPECTION. Railroad Commissioner McLaurin passed up the Illinois Central to-day, on a special car in company with Supt. O. M.

Dunn, and Division Supt J. W. Hig-gins, on the regular annual inspection provided by law. Mr. McLaurin started Irom Osyka this morning and says he found everything in class condition this far.

He expected to be joined by the other commissioners but Maj. Ses sions is sick, and Mr. Askew failed to get here. DEATH OF PHIL RYAN. Mr.

Phil Ryan, an old landmark of Jackson, died this evening at 1 p. at his house on South State Street. Mr. Ryan was born in the city of CorkJ Ireland, 85 years ago, and came to Jackson in about 1840, where he has lived ever since. For many years he was city sexton.

ARRESTED ON SUSPICION. Two suspicious looking negroes were arrested near Steens Creek yesterday evening, and are being held pending investigation as to their business in that locality. They claimed to be "hunting a mule marked with an underbit in each ear," and the inhabitants down on the creek didn't know anything about mark- ng a mule that way. It is well enough to make every strange and suspicious character give an account of himself. According to Bradstreet's there have been thus far in 1892, 245 fewer failures in business in the Southern States than there were during the first nine months of 1891.

Aggregate liabilities have drop ped from $25,000,000 to about $11,100,000. The decrease in Florida is 60 per the average for all the Southern States being 55 percent. Mr. W. B.

Knight, formerly of Pela-hatchie, but now of Sicily Island, passed through the city Saturday night enroute to Chapman, for the purpose of leading to Hyman's altar, Miss Florence Chapman, eldest daughter of Prof. T. P. Chapman, the efficient Ranger of Rankin county. The Millsaps College at Jackson was opened under favorable auspices last Thursday.

The College gives promise of great success and much usefulness. Tu pelo Ledger. Mr. Joe Dreyfus left this morning for Montgomery, and will return in a day or two with his wife. Tested and approved J.

M. Llttitr. Pres. Marine Nat. Bank, Baltimore, says: "I have tested Salvation Oil and find it an excellent remedy for neuralgia." Keep it in your family.

COUPON. a l-t cr a a a SB 0D S3 cr i 1 as S3 en SB a tv a 03 St 0 a a a 2 a od OB a 0B Brief Beview of Social Events at the Cap ital for the Week. Ah, dear me! A la Sunan B. An thonv. as she stopped in her brilliant speech before the Federation of Wo- mens Club.

Dear me what a lot of things can happen in a week. The name of Susan B. Anthony leads to the re mark that the women of this 19th cen tury of ours are coming boldly to the front. When our last Legislature failed to make an appropriation for an exhibit at the World's Fair, the energetic good women of the State met together and took the matter in hand. They undertook to accomplish what the men had failed in.

They formed their Columbian Clubs in almost every town, and went steadily to work. This week they have organized an Amateur Theatrical Club, decided on a play and cast of characters. A brilliant array of home talent will be presented. The public will be afforded an opportunity to assist in a cause which appeals to every one, and at the same time to witness a performance that promises to be entertaining from beginning to end. Jackson is the place of meeting of so many conventions, societies, boards, etc.

On Monday was the meeting of Railroad Commission, chancery court convened, board of supervisors and boards of trustees, each of which adds its own to the hurry, push and interest of 'town talk." A perfect night was that of Monday when a large number ol friends met at the residence of Mr. Armer, when the union between Miss Bertha Rosenthal, of New Orleans, and Mr. Jac Jalenak, of ort Gibson, was Bolemnized. The cere mony was performed by Rabbi A. M.

Bloch. The bride was wedded in her 'going-way" gown, which was exceed ingly stylish. After congratulations were tendered, tempting refreshments were served. Bearing the hearty good wishes of friends Mr. and Mrs.

Jalenak left on the late train for Port Gibson. There has been the usual meetings of the religious societies during the week. The ladies who conduct these meetings, not only have their hearts in this work, but their nimble hands are doing a vast amount. They are weaving in and out through the homes of each other in many substantial ways which count for real cost in their several churches. Every field and common now is filled with the gorgeous Golden Rod, which proclaims the death of summer and speaks of days of departed glory.

Yet, in the beautiful Golden Rod Tea given by Miss Mary Sidway on Thursday even ing, it waa made the herald oi joys to come and reminds us that after all there are compensations in all things, that the social season is upon us and so with the dying summer, we shake off our ethargy and awake to "operas, dinings and balls," Yes. although rated a national flower, this modest blos som ol the held must be a little dazed to find itself thus suddenly made so swell a bloom. It is no longer simply the wild wood favorite, covering hill and dale with its rich gorgeous yel- ow, but harmonizes its brilliant beauty with the airest gowns of Swiss and mus- in in which the fair ones bedeck them selves. This dry, dusty weather we are under going has compelled every Jack soman to ulfil the old injunction of "eating a peck of dirt." We might all be excused rom further duty in this line, if some public spirited and life saving individual would 'make a start towards a street sprinkler. lie would be indebted to the grateful thanks of the town.

Not only busy men and women, but the dainty "summer girl," clad in her best visiting gown, can scarcely be seen as she plods along through the clouds of dust which envelop her, not only on the busiest thoroughfares, but in every nook and corner of the narrow side street. A great deal has been said of Jackson's growth and advancement, all of which is true, every word, but we should have our streets sprinkled, as many other towns of more modest proportions are doing. A genuine good sprinkler well used right now would carry real comfort and pleasure in every spray. It is our custom to enjoy what really occurs in the town, but on Wednesday night a few others enjoyed, what did not come. Rev.

Joe Jones was advertised to pay a passing visit to the West Jackson Methodist church, bo, we hied ourselves across the railroad at an early hour, to be sure of securing a seat convenient to and hear the brother of the irrepressible Sam, but no Joe, not this time. We enjoyed in anticipation what failed to materialize, and the inter esting service conducted by Canton able pastor the Rev. Mr. Holloman. The moonlight walk was lovely, and in connection with other things we talked up the Chataaqua Circle with members who have built their homes in this very flour ishing addition of the town.

The first series of these meetings was held at Col. Nugent's on Thursday night, it was full of interest, and much enjoyed. The sterner sex have time for nothing outside of business on Saturday. To-day the city has a numbefof visitors from adjacent towns and the surrounding country who are always welcome to our live city. SAMUEL PROCTOR.

The remains of Mr. Samuel J. Proctor were laid to rest in the city cemetery yesterday in the presence of a number of friends. Mr. Proctor waa in many- respects a peculiar man, it might be truthfully said, a genius, whose worth was never fully appreciated.

He waa a true gentleman and a profound scholar. He waa born in North- Carolina in about 1818 came to Jackson when a a young man and married the daughter of the late Cob Jim Moore, by whose side he was laid to rest on Jailok Quick ia on the sick list. fjg" The Statk Lkdgkb has a larger circula tion in Hinds county than any paper puD-Liflhl. .33 OCTOBER 18TH, 1892.

Comment ia unnecessary the crop ia short. Mr. E. M. Stevenson of near Cox Ferry, has a very fine colt which he intends to enter for the colt show at Jackson.

It is rumored that the Hill faction of the Republican District Executive Committee has called a convention for Octo-tober 22, and that the county convention is set for October 15. The alder manic race is getting interesting, but the fellows who are fixing up slates seem to forget Jackson has four wards, and is also entitled to an alderman from the city at. large. Tom Smith, a prominent and prosperous planter of near Bolton, was in town to-day.

Mr. Smith laised long staple cotton almost exclusively and sava his crop is only about one-third short. C. Emrman, of Vicksburg, spent the morning with his Jackson friends. Mr.
