The colds winds begin to warn MS that winter ia
approaching. 1t will be dreary winter to many
negroes, and to many poor white people also.
Provisions are scarce, money scarce and Iaborthe
ssme. People find it difficult to etwo0d chopped
fer winter use in most places. Many negroes pre-
fer loa6ng about towns to making two dollars d
day at chopping wood. Jamaica ia STAMPED on
every village and plantation in this once bnsy and
prosperous land.-[Ibid.
a Observation-Disclosures IN Sr. MARY.-The Plan
ters' Banner relates the following:
A strange struggling white man, protesting we
learn, to be from the North, made his appearance
in this place on last Monday in comrany vvifh q
negro tFench which he calls his wife. THIS stran-
ger had the iInpudence to go TO respectable board
ing house to get board for himself and his coored
Iaate. The lady turned him into the streets with
the statement that she thought the man and his
uenoh ought both to be hung. During the day
this aGees sion to our white and black population

and met with no head flaws, people merely eyeing
them closely as they lovingly strolled through the

matters best known to themselves.

llearnthat the stranger was taken to the rear of

Shreveport, Judging by the following from the
Southwestern:
During the past week our j6bbing houses have
had no reason to complain for the want Of GUS
TONER'S In fact, some Of them complain that
they come toofast, and the consequence is, they
have to wait their turns, like bag of corn at q
, gfist mill. In ouf certain knowledge, one Of our
houses paid the expenses. of three wagons and
: teams for three days before they could find time
to fill the owners bills, Most of our jobbine
: houses are doing hesyy business though at
! small profit. Rhe retail trade is not brisk -or
rather is dull. An of our merchants, have large
stocks.
