Doors AND SHoEs.-The Local took a
peep into the Boot and Shoe establishment
of Messrs. Howell & Co., southeast of the
Capitol square, yesterday, and was astonish
ed to find how complete the arrangements
there for putting up the very finest speci-
mems of their line of manufacture. We were
shown some of the most beautifully finished
boots and shoes, both for ladies and gentle
men, that we have ever seen put up in the
South
Nothing contributes more to the complete
finish of a we'll dressed man or woman than
IA neatly fitting boot or shoe, and any one
wishing to find superior article of the kind,
will not fail of being pleased, if the order
for it is left with Messrs. Howell & Co.
THE CoTToN CRoP OF GEoRGIA.-Hon.
Isaac Newton. Commissioner of Agriculture,
has received advices from Macon county, Ga,
in reference to the planting of the cotton
crop, stating that the planters generally are
in the midst of planting, but that an area
will be planted this season somewhat smaller
than usual, owing to a wide prevailing fear
among planters that the seed has lost much
of its vitality by lying four or five years in
the gin houses. Many planters have been
compelled to plant over, from this cause, thus
losing two weeks of the best cotton-growing
season.
