knowledge, he has on hand superior stock OF
every thing required by ship owners or masters,
both of domestic and imported articles, and that
his knowledge of the chandlery and commission

JoHN M. GREER, at the corner Of King and Beau
fain streets has "a bookstore which, although not
cutie as large as AppIEToN's, on Broadway, is as
neatly andtssily arranged, and for this reason q
favorite resort both for gentlemen of Literary cul
ture, and ladies in search Of stationery or Belles
letters" Mr.. G. is one of the oldest bibiopoles in
Charleston, and having grown grey in literary ser
vice, it is fair to presume he knows what he is
about and, upon examination, it will be found
that he has most excellent knowledge Of books
the men and women who write them, and no less
of the men and women who read them He will
pardon, we hope, this very personal reference. He
has laid us under renewed obligation by sending
1,s the 1st Of February number Of Z Independence

to peruse. ,g.sl.,,E

step on the part Of our Council, as it indicates a
desire to keep abreast with the demands Of the

In regard to the difficulties presented by the
regulations respecting the cotton tax, the Super

most direct route, irrespective Of State and County
ines neither the people of Florida nor the mer-

the past year by this Road have been 1889 bales
Upland, and 1906 bales Sea Island. & -.

find the large amount Of s3,674.77 for stock

aged" which speaks very well for the care of the
employees on the Road, and also. would Indicate a
