Mr. J. G. McCABE commenced work on his brickyard on the Asylum grounds yesterday. He will push the work as rapidly as possible.

Mr. J. G. McCABE, of Jackson, has been awarded the contract for making three million brick to be used in the erection of the Hospital for the Insane for West Tennessee, at five dollars per thousand. Mr. McCABE is well known to our people as a thoroughly reliable gentleman, and one who understands the brick business from bottom to top. We congratulate him on his good fortune in securing this large contract, and hope he may make it profitable to himself.
