There is a poor out look for the pay OF
census takers. There were large num-
Der of appropriations made against the
| fnnd to be derived from the phosphate
ROYALTY at the last session of the Leglsla-
ture, and the Attorney General holds
that the last appropriations must be paid
trst, and as the appropriation from tins
| fund to pay ff'ccnsus takers, was about
the first made against it, their chances
are very slim.
MESsRs. BARNwELL & Co. are now
receiving a large and select Fall and
Winter stock of dry goods, shoes and

tronize them. Give them q call and
Judge for yourselves.

WHEN a man buys cotton in the seed
