Laurel.

Great complaint Is made here on account of the
unparalleled scarcity of money. The most of the
merchants have laid In q new stock OF goods, but
owing to the rigid economy practiced by the peo-
pie, nothing Is purchased but what is absolutely
needed.
largo number of buildings near the centre of
the town would be vastly improved by the appli-
cation of coat of whitewash. Those in the east
ern part of the and near tho depot are snugy
painted and present cheerful and animated APP
pearance.
The corn crop In the neighborhood of Laurel is
much better than was anticipated. Jeremiah Esk-
ridge In Broad Creek Hundred has full crop.
The same may be said of many Others.

merchants of the town has built for himselfa very
handsome residence near the railroad depot, in
which he resides. Workmen are busy erecting
another for him near the depot.
Professor Frost has charge of the Laurel Acad-
envy. which is said to be an excellent place at
which to acquire practical and classical educa-
ton, and is dcservedly popular in the community.

saving Of lumber. His saw mill Is on Broad
Creek, and he has one of the best water powers
in the county.

GLovEs.-This is the season of year when it
behooves men to procure u covering for their
hands, and If they wish to do this properly we
advise them to call on j. T. Dougnten. Mr..
Doughten has just laid in his fall and winter
stock, and we do not believe there is larger or
handsomer assortment to be found in any retail
furnishing store in any of the larger cities.
We notice, in looking over bis stock, Castor
Bucks, French Bucks, Lined Kids, Fur-topped
Kids, Extra Lined Dog skin, fine Driving Gloves,
Cloth Gloves Buck-skin Gloves and Mittens I;
Boys Gloves Laportc Kid Gloves, and number
less other varieties. Mr.. Doughten's general
stock of furnishing goods is az large and well
assorted as his stock of gloves, and, like it,
not be surpassed by any retail establishment in
the country. We advise our readers to call and
see 1t, as we consider his establishment n credit
to the city.
