especial attention to the advertisement Of

low, and parties who wish the cool, healthy
air Of the country, coupled with ali the
convenienees and advantages Of the Ereal
presence" Of Jackson, should not fail to
call and strike bargain with him.
HALF BUsREL OF THEMl-Our clever
friend. Jno. b. Lawrence, who resides four
miles North Of this city, sent US three |
sweet potatoes on Thursday afternoon, that |
would fill half bushel. John used to be |
good printer; but If the specimen OF his |
farming new before US is fair one, we
think he has struck his vocation in turning |
farmer. 1t has been many a day since we
saw any specimens Of the tuber tribe equal |
to these. Most cordially we thank him for
the kind remembrance.
