,NINElFY SIX .YEMS.

DR., Limbeoker, of Nipety-Six, was
in our Office on yesterday afternoon, IN
gave cheering report of the mercantile
business of that prosperous town, and
saws 1t is the best cotton market III the
world. The staple readily commanding
from 12i to 25 cents per pound, according
to circumstances.
The new and commodious depot at
this place will be completed this week.
It is q nicer building and o much larger
one than the old. Agents office, and
telegraph office are to be in the building.
Col. G. Med. Miller is digging foun-
dations for two new brick stores, which
are to join walls to the new store now
occupied Messrs, Pope, Philips & Co.
The Messrs. Kinard Brothers are now
building fine store room, near DIR. Linn
becker's store. When completed they
contemplate engaging in the mercantile
business, and will keep general stock.
They are energetic business men, and
possess the elements Of success.
We learn that a new paper has been
issued by Messrs. Pope, Philips l. Co
1t is beautifully printed, and is publish
ed enthusiastically.
The cotton crop in this vicinity was
never better.
The people of Ninety-Six have not
abandoned the idea Of having new
county, with the Court House and Pub
lie Offices located in this commercial
mart. We presume efforts will be made
during the sitting of the present Legis-
lature to accomplish this much desired
result.
Welearn that our young friend, Mr..
B. P. Quarles, came very near getting
shot accidentally while out hunting one
day last week.
Mr.. Lawrence Fouclie and Mr.. Hugh
Rogers have each recently lost fine
horses which were on exhibition at our
Fair-Mr. Touches winning premium.
Prof. Blake's fine horse was also attack
ed with fearful malady, but recovered.
The whole town bears the best evi.
dences of the prosperity of her citizens,
in the many new buildings, and the va
rious improvements on the old, while
the business men appreciate the wants
of their customers in providing the ele.
CANT stocks of goods displayed lin the

The PROSPECTS FOR CoTToN.-The
stringency of the money market con-
tinues to affect the prices of cotton.
The reduced consumption at home
has lessened the demand in. New
England, and the high profits and low
exchange have been obstacles in the
way of foreign export. A New York
dealer in future deliveries" thinks
,bat the prices for February and
March are quite high, and that the
depression in the market will likely
be ended by that time.
