Hon PRIcEs.-We hear continued complaints Of
the nigh prices our merchants charge for their
goods, and some cases have been related TO us that
admit OF no justification. There are, in every COM
munity, some persons who will take advantage OF
any circumstances to extort gain from others, in
times like these; but we hope there are but few
such here. Tho1e who do so, ought to be spotted
and remembered for all time to come.
There is no good reason, that we know of. for
any material advance on goods bought by our mer-
cbnnts, before the war troubles commenced but
goods, bought since then, cost much more, and are
necessarily sold proportionately higher.
In times like these, we think our merchan is
ought to be willing to sell their goods at a far-pay-
ing profit and ask more.

Coon ADvIcz.--In quaint sort of poem, about
a certain young Knight, and bis lady-love, we find
the following sensible advice to lovers. If closely
and boldly followed ii win certainly win:
'If you fall into love, first try hard to fall out:
If the pit be too deep, don't go dawdling about;
Pop the question, at cnce, like bolt from beau,
For the maid may say yes ere her Pa can say MOI
Or should she refuse, don't write verses or die,
But ask her again, and--ogain, by-and-by.
II engaged to another, to weaken the links
Just praise up your rival but hint that he drinks;
If she's gone to get married. put your best clothes
She may alter her mind at the altar-who knows
Tho the knot has been tied, don't give up the prize
But ask her to have you wben that hao5dnd dies
For love is like chess-both fields checkered the
same,
And If move is left, you may yet win the game

Sold 0ur.-Messrs. G. B. Rountree Il Co., Boot
and Shoe dealers of this city, have sold out their
entire Stock to parties, who, we believe design re-
moving it to Nashville.
This house was the largest establishment, of the
kind we have ever had, and, in fact, one Of
the largest retail shoehouses in the South and we
are truly sorry to see it closed 1t was, however,
move of such decided interest to the propretors
that we cannot blame them for it--making as they
did, sale, in bulk, at figures about equal to their
retail prices.
We are glad to know that this firm speak Of
GAINESVILLE as most eligible point for their bust
ness, and express design to open here again, so
soon as political matters become more settled. The
community, we know, will be glad to have them
do SO.

Poor CoMFoRT.-By way of holding the Union
men to his cause in Missouri Gen. Fremont restricts
the operation of his proclamation freeing the ne
groes there to such as are owned by ''rebels."-
That is poor comfort. What would the negroes OF
the Union men be worth if all the negroes of the
"rebels' were turned loose, free The truth is, it
is only step towards the grand design of the Lin
coin government to free all the negroes, whenever
it has the power to do SO. Kentucky slave holders
may see in Freemonts villainous designs, what is
in store for them unless they rise up in resistant
to the infamous government that sanctions and sp-
pleuds such designs.

NEw PosTMAsTER-Mr. s. II. LAMB has been
appointed by President Davis, Postmaster of this
city, and his appointment confirmed by the Con-
federate Congress There were three applicants for
the Office but two Of them had, of course, TO be
disappointed in their hope of obtaining it.
Mr.. Lamb has not been very long a citizen of
GAINESVILLE, but sufficiently long to know the ex-
tent Of the Post-ofice business here, and what is
necessary for the public convenience in regard
thereto; and we are glad TO know that he fully APP
preciates BOTH and intends to try to meet them in
all respects. The post-offce under him, will be
kept in building prepared specially for it, and
will be unconnected with any other business,
whatever. This, of ITSELF will be great improve
ment and add much to the public convenience, but
besides this feel authorized to state that every
other reasonable means of accommodation will be
adopted.
We believe Mr.. Lamb will make very accepta-
BILE Postmaster; as he is gentleman of long expo
rience in business, and knows what post-ofce, in
town like this, ought to be. He will enter upon
the duties of his new position, in a few days, we
suppose.

REruRNED.-we had the pleasure, few days
ago, of meeting here, again. our friend and towns
man, JOHN ALLcoRS.
Since we last saw our friend, he has suffered the
btterest affection that beaIls man-the loss of wife
and child. Disease laid its blighting hand few
months ago upon her whom, but little more than
year agoS he had led to the altar and although
every possible means of recovery was resorted to,
Death was inexhorable in its claim to the loved
one, and she passed away. Bat few weeks be-
fore this sad event, their frst-born had preceded
its mother to the spirit land.
We tender to our young friend our sincerest
sympathy and coincidence in his deep bereavement
