Navassa Guano. and it has proven first
rate this season. The farmers are much
pleased with the results, and are cf but
one opinion, that is, that it has paid them
handsomely. With an average season
from this time, the planters will have
enough both of provisions and cotton to
make this, at fair prices, better season
than the last.
The railroad has improved si1ce We last
saw it, and the improvement still con-
sinues. Careful and regular man
agement seems to be the motto, care
of and attention to passengers the rule.

responsibility Of calling the attention OF
the authorities to the matter, simply as an
act Of islstlce. Still on the route the Lake
House At Pennington Glspenses its hoSpl-
tAlltles TO the trave;er under the same
management as Of yOre. This is another
res lug place.

We must defer to another article notice

1t is subject of general congratuIatlon
that the murderer of Stanciii was so soon
ARE sted and that Sheriff Richardson has
succeeded in obtaining such mass Of evil
dence against him. Even the very earth
in which he cleaned his murderous axe has
been carefully removed in the state IN
which he left it, and boxed up for the con-
sideration of the Court and jury. Every
body says ''give him fair trial before the
Court, and although he has murdered a
quiet, industrious and peaceful citizen let
there be no mob Ia W brought against him -"
This is right and just as it should be. We
incline to the opinion that If every officer
of the law in the State would take the
same pains that the Sheriff of Columbus
does to arrest and bring TO justice offend
ers we should hear less of Ku- -kIux out
RACES, lynch law and Vigilance Commit
tees.
