MATTERS AT ToNToGANY.

ToNToGASY, Sept 2S, 1870.
EDITOR JOURNAL: Our young town begins
to present a more lively appearance than last
year. The failure Of crops, to a certain extent,
affected the business of our town, from the fact
that it depends at present more on Ito grain crop
than anything elsa to sustain itself; bat other
branche of business are being established, and
as things progress, we expect soon to have one
of the most thrifty business towns in our county.
Surrounded as it Is by large farming country
good portion of which is ia good state ur cal
tivatun, it cannot be long before she will stand,
in business point Of view, the first in the cOun-
ty. :. w Whitmore Il Co. have already pur-
chased of the new crop, since the 4th of August,
wheat and oats, 30 600 bushels, and Peck x Mil
Ter have probably purchased about 20 000, say
ing nothing about com. s. w. Whtmore & Co.
expect to purchase at least 100 900 bushels
more, and Peck & Miller will be up TO the scratch
with them Cash is paid for all the grain
brought into this market. You are not asked to
take part goods and part cash, but the farmer is
handed out his money, aud il he sees fit to leave
portion for goods he can do 50, and which
most of them do. Our merchants are selling goods
at a very low figure. This going to other places
to purchase goods our merchants are deter
mined to stop, il goods at low prices will do it,
and one has only to look around for short time
to satisfy himself that hosts of goods are being
daily sold here at remarkably low fguers. This
is what the farming community want, home
cash market for grain and goods at eush prices.
| The old system Of buying goods and paying af-
| ter harvest is plaid out here. Ready pay busi-
| ass is demanded on both sides.
| We have five large dry goods stores one hard
| ware, one drug five grocery and provision stores
I one foundry, two blacksmith shops. one wagon
maker shop, two saddle and harness maker shops
and not among the least is Peck Miler's h3ur-
| ing mill which grinds about 800 bushels per
| day, and has the reputation of making the best
| 1onr in the ma ke'. There are may other brancl :
| es Of business carried ON in and about our town
that might mt ntion, but time will not permit
OUR COUNTY FAIR
| viii commence on Monday next, and we expect
/ to have wind and weather permitting the best
| ever held iu the county. We have the material
to do it in the shape of stock, fast horses and ag
ricultural and mechanical products. Weexpeci
to have exhibition at this FAIR Of better stock
/ than has ever been exhibited ut our fairs. Thg
grounds are being reftted and permanent im.
prUvemcuts made that will greatly adj tJ the
| beauty and comfort Of all that may attend.
In conclusion we would say: come one, come
| all, bring your fine stock, big pumpkins, hand
some wives and fat babies, and let Us have
grand good time.

trouble to publish, you can do so, and will, i
desired, give you short article OCCASIONAL,
upon such subjects as think will be of interes
to reading public. TYSON.
