EAsr Bar IMpnoEEAKsrs.-The owners Of
property ON East Bay have taken advantage OF
.ths dull season to restore the raysges made by
time. Two stores On the east: side, below
pueen.street, are now being efted, and will
sbei ready Tor occupants before Che fail season
.opans Buildings are also in process OF erec-
!: 4icn ont the san1e side OF the street, near the
market, and opposit the cotton press. These
are hopeful ngns Of the times, as those per-
: SONS who are investing in brick aud mortar
!, FEEL confident OF the ultimate prosperity Of our
! CITY; and are 6oing.aliin their power to accom-
ssplish this desired end.
a PLANK RoAD WANTED.-A petition has
been prevented to Council asking that body to
srestore. the plank road that was. formerly laid
in John, Chapel and Washington streets. This
road is; much needed, as, during adry sea-
.sson, the sand is very heavy aud, almost impaa-
e,sahie; while q rain converts the whole into
ss:mud pond. The Northeastern Railroad is only
.approachable through those streets, and dur
ing the busy season cotton drays have fire.
.<quentIy stalled, as, the road is then badly cut
-:up BY the constant travel. A plank road which
would remedy this evil could be laid at q
small expense. q portion Of which would be,
doubtless, contributed by that class OF citizens
who would receive The most benefit from the
Improvement.
"a BARBER -ous PaootsEDNa,- The knights Of
< the4Iather and brush have recently become
aroused to the hsinous crime Of Sabbath break
ing, and have In solemn conclave requested
Z. Council to order them to close their establish
.-rnents on Sunday. Their religious feelings
have been deeply moved, and, unless their re-
aquest should be granted, The band of brothers
Win barber-odsly lower their poles, and refuse
:sthe ungodIy the benefit of a Sunday shave. 1t
has been customary for the barber shops to re-
main open for q few hours on Sunday morning,
: snd the patronage was always sufficient in
sducenent for them to continue the practice.
s s.As free agents they have right to close their
establishments il they 80 desire; but men
must shave, and there will be some Of the fra
Eternity whose consciences will prove elastic
enough to permit them to perform the desired
operation.
ANoTHeR Although it was the
-f.;ntention OF the Board Of Public Buildings to
confue their improvements to the exterior of
zthe Courthouse, yet the contrast between the
freshly colored walls and the dingy weather
stained glasses, was too great to be permitted
Ito remain. Yesterday men were engaged in
sscrubbing the window panes and endeavoring
: 90 restore something Of their former transpar-
