Mr. Charles O. Beauchamp - New City Father

On Wednesday the city election was held which ushers in a new city government 
for the year 1900.
  
The election was a very quiet one, owing to the fact that there was no contest, 
the matter being practically settled by the mass meeting held at the courthouse 
last week.  There was no friction whatever in the mass meeting.  Everything was 
done harmoniously and seemingly with the good of the city in view.

Charlie Beauchamp had no opposition for mayor in the nomination or the 
election, and so enters upon the discharge of his duties as our chief executive 
with the unanimous consent of all our people.  This is a compliment to him, and 
it means that Jackson will have no more blood hatches to wave in the air.

Mr. Beauchamp is a most progressive young man and is one of the first graduates 
of Jackson Institute.  He is also a graduate of Emory College.  He is fully 
alive to the educational business and moral interest of our town as already 
proven by his attitude on public question, and it is freely predicted that his 
administration will be characterized by popularly directed energy.  Jackson now 
has one of the youngest mayors in the state, but one possessed with the 
elements that go to make up a competent executive office.

The new councilmen re also very progressive men and will aid materially in 
making the present year one of the best in the history of Jackson.  They are J. 
R. Wright, Dr. W. C. Bryant, R. H. Carmichael and W. P. Nutt.  The terms of 
these officers are for two  years each and that they will encourage the spirit 
of progress which has now taken hold upon the town goes without saying.

Prominent citizens are now saying, “It is the most harmonious state of affairs 
we have ever known in Jackson.”  The people are becoming more thoroughly united 
touching the public good than ever!

All this means that Jackson is going forward at a rate that will surprise the 
most imagine.
