very large and rapidly increasing local subscription
list its circulation extends into nearly every county
in the State.

right and left without fear or favor into the ranks
of our common enemies-the infamous Radical Par
ty, the puritanical Carpet Bag Adrenturer and the
God-forsaken, hypocrihcal scalawsg and Southern
Traitor II Charleston wants our trade, she can get

MEEr1se-STREET.- improvements now
in progress along this thoroughfare have been
materially advanced in the last few days. On
+, the east side between Queen and Cumberland
, streets the asphaltum sidewalk is nearly COM
pleted, while the picket fence that enoloses the
burnt district has received coat OF yellow
wash that renders it quite ornamental The
stshe tagging on the west side of the street is
being relaid in an even manner, and this street
will soon become popular promenade as the
\ ups and downs of life will be not 30 perceptible
i. on smooth sidewalk. The removal OF the
pillars from in front Of Circular Church has
. also added greatly to the appearance OF the
street. and if the civil authorities could be in
> duced to plant few shade trees along the
sidewalk, the work of reconstruction would be
complete, and their constituents would praise
e: them evermore.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS WORK GOES BRAVE
a oN.-There is scarcely section Of the city
shat does not show some signs of the improve
, ment now being effected by the municipal au-
,tborities. This has had the result Of stimu-
,,atine the citizens to similar degree Of enter
.nrise. and they have joined readily in the good
work. Their houses have, in many instances,
been re-painted, while in some localities new
buildings are in the course OF erection. The
interest taken by the powers that be in the ad-
yancement Of the city has not been unnotlced
and there are few persons who are not Wiling
to lend their aid to the good cause OF recon-
struction. Among the proposed improve
nents there ere few that demand more
attention than the shell-road. This will be not
only positive advantage to the people at large
but will be a source of pleasure to the owners
Of hcrse-hesh, who like to try their coursers on
a smooth road. Our new Mayor is determined
20 make Charleston what she was, and will spare
no pains to effect such improvements as may
he necessary. In addition to the public works
NOW progressing, he designs at an early day
completing the repairs On the Mal and Battery.
These are the only breathing spots in the city,
and should be restored to their pristine ap-
nearance. The iron railing around the Battery
will be replaced and seats furnished for the
summer visitors /; the mall will also receive the
came attention and be made public park. The
citr treasury is not in the most plethoric con-
d;t;on. and as the laborers must be paid the
Mayor relies on the generous support of those
1soperty owners who see the necessity OF the
nroposed changes and appreciate the efforts
made to improve the city

DEATH OF PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN.
The funeral of Mr.. William G. Small. which took
place yesterday at the Glebe-street Presbyterian
/. Church, was largely attended by the friends
and relatives Of the deceased. He had been
sick but short time, and his sudden demise
was entirely unexpected. MIR. Small was for
years connected with the wholesale dry goods
business on Nesting street, and had probably
> larger circle Of acquaintances than most
merchants. His popularity with the country
buyers enabled him to command high posi-
. ton, and before the war he became connected
=. with the firm of Chamberlain, Isaacs Co.
After the dissolution OF this firm he was
/. associated with Messrs. John G. Minor & Co.,
which position he retained at the time of his
death. There are few persons who would be
more missed, or whose death has caused a
greater void in the family circle and among
his business friends. Mr.. Small was afable,
kind, and ever ready to lend helping hand to
brother in distress.
