wish only to remind "Countrymen"
of his duty in the future.
Our town is now full of life and
business. The dull season has
passed., and trade is opening up
with energy. Several of onr old
firms have been dissolved, and new
and able men mustered into service
in place Of those who have made
their fortunes and retired from mer-
camille pursuits.
Capt. Fleming has recently
opened a large stock of diy goods
in the house from which Clark d
Thomas retired. Mr.. Westly Byres
and Grifis have opened at the old
stand of Byres d Ferguson; they
have a large stock Of dry goods
Messrs. Owen Smith q Wagstaf
have taken the place Of our distin-
guished Sheriff, Capt r. A. Mitch
ell. In short, We have seven large
dry goods houses, all wen filed and
anxious to sell for cash, credit or
barter. We have one extensive
family grocery store, three saloons,
one drug store, three blacksmith
shops, one saddler's shop, one wag-
on shop, two large livery stables,
two hotels, a tailor shop and an IN
dertakers shop. These places OF
business are all going on with ener-
gy. We would have more business
men but for want Of houses. Our
depot house is now being renovated
and made comfortable for passen-
gers; we have a telegraph Office in
the depot. We have three doctors
town and four or i've in a few
miles of town. We have two new
churches in town. The Presbyte-
rians have bought a stunning big
bell, and the trouble non is how to
get it on a bellfry, as it is 50 very
heavy. The roof will not support
it We also have a celaboose, but
I am glad to say it has had but few
occupants.
Our community viii compare ia
vorabiy as to morality with any in
the State. Cur people are indus
trious, as the abundant surplus that
is daily going of on the cars viii
most assuredly prove. Since early
in this year car-load after carload
of cattle, sheep, hogs, wheat corn,
oats, rye, bacon, wool, eggs, chick
ems, butter, etc, to the tune Of a car
load or two about every day. Lately
there have been shipped hogs and
cotton by the carload, the two great
staples Of this community. Much
Of the pork has been packed by the
PRODUCERS, for want of a market
This has been a disastrous year on
pork, rs corn is light and high and
pork low and dull. But by making
bacon Of it hope they will realize
q profit. Cotton has been other
wise. Our community has beer
wonderfully blessed with a GOOD
cotton crop. Our cotton is mucl
better than anywhere in The county
/ have seen. I know Of many crops
that Eill make about a hale to az
acre. know of none that wil
make less than half a bale to tn,
acre. For as this is a good crop
