Mr. E. von Seutter, of
Jackson has placed in our hands a photograph scene in Raymond, taken
some twenty-five years ago. It embraces the
building now used by
Col. Charlton as a hard-ware store, (Ten used as the Probate court room,
the old courthouse standing immediately in
front and the house now
occupied by J.M. Bracey as a general merchandise store (then used by Mr.
A.M. Key, deceased,as a leather store)
The picture, although
never placed upon a card, is wonderfully preserved, and shows the use of
good chemicals as the art by the gentleman
who took the photograph.

"Death of Col. John McNeill"
We greatly regret to announce the death of Col. John McNeill, which event occurred suddenly and unexpectedly at his residence four miles from Raymond on Saturday night last of apoplexy.
Col. McNeill came to Hinds County about thirty years ago from North Carolina. He resided until the war on his plantation near Dry Grove, but since the war on his farm near this town, and was in Raymond
Saturday afternoon apparently in good health. He was a man of intelligence and remarkable energy, perseverance, and public spirit and as a friend, was obliging and faithful. Whatever he took hold
of, he took with all his heart and spirit, and if he sometimes went too far, it was a pardonable fault. He was a useful man, a kind-hearted man, and a man always ready and willing to do a favor and to
assist in a public enterprise. He was of the Presbyterian faith in religion and ever took a lively interest in all moral and Christian enterprises. He was an honest and just man – honest in all his dealings and just in all his intercourse with his fellow man. If, at a moment of excitement he did an injury, he was brave enough to acknowledge it when the moment of reflection came and to make proper
reparation. How much better for all the world it would be if we all had more of this spirit? We deeply regret Col. McNeill’s death, especially as it was so sudden and unexpected, and we extend to his
family our most sincere sympathies in this hour of their great bereavement.
