A new board of Co. Supervisors is to
be elected this fall, and the enquiry is al.
ready being made, who shall they be-
The answer to this question is important.
We believe the present Board ha, c
given very general satisfaction. They
are punctual, sound business mon, an d
have conducted county business, in a bus
mess like way. When they came into
office, ycu could hardly swap county
orders for calico, yard for yard; now the
county credit is well established and its
orders are nearly at par.
We do no suppose the present Board
arc at al DESTROYS of reelection, but if
they would accept one, we should not
deem q change advisable. But let us
have good business men elected, in any
event.

as discreetly retired before the play was

Among the various amusements they

Quite simple yet curious, as ! found on

a thin strip of bamboo, about half an

THE GRADGSG.-Some of our citizens
we learn, have been opposed to spending
so much money for grading the streets,
until thoy learned the object Of it. 1t
will be remembered that tho Sidewalk in
front of GEORGE NEwToN's Harness and
Boot IL Shoe Store was inconveniently
high above the Street, and the Council
determined TO remedy the difficulty and
afford citizens and strangers the utmost
facilities for reaching his Store. GEORGE
is good workman, and his prices are
reasonable.
