Hinds County Gazette unknown

   We notice Gen. J. A. Smith is very
prominently urged by the Press of the State
for  Superintendent  of  Education.  If any
one has claims upon the people, surely he
has.  A graduate of West Point, he entered
the Confederate service, and bravely and
valiantly fought through the struggle, 
coming out, like some others, with nothing 
but his honor.  Our citizens knew him first as 
principal of one of the best schools Raymond
ever had, and latterly, as editor of the
Brandon Republican.  In all these positions 
he sustained his character as a gentleman- 
man—with high literary attainments,
and honest in all his dealings.
