There has been very little cotton brought to
market during the past week. Middling bring

The County Commissioners are having new
mating put on the floor of the Court room,
which will greatly add to it's appearance. This
has been much needed for long time, and we
are now glad to see that good work is being
accomplished.
We were shown on Saturday last two bunch
es of oats, containing one hundred and thirty
stalks each measuring four feet in length, with
heads from five to six inches. These punches
were raised by Mr.. Samuel Browne, on his
plantation at Broadway, from two grains.
The Town Council has adopted an ordinance
to regulate the meat market in this town,
which will go into immediate effect Some
regulation was badly needed, and we commend
the efforts of our city fathers to improve the IA
cilities and mead the ways of the butchers.
Monday morning last was very cool for the
season, and frost was seen by many in the vi
cinty of Williamson. We hope that Aunt
Betsy Ducketts prophecy about heavy frost
on the Goth instant will not be verified, as the
gardens would again suffer, and vegetables be-
come scarce.
Mr.. ]. Earle Lewis writes to us that his beau
tiful heifer, Louise Waddy, weighed slS lbs.

man." has in process of erection neat one
story dwelling, situated on Main Street, near
Capt. Bensons. Mr.. James Payne is also

This is the right way to build up the fortunes
of town.
The foot bridge over the railroad cut, near
the residence of Mr.. J. B. Watson, is IN oau-
gerous condition, and should be at once re-
paired. The railroad officials are certainty ho'
aware of tho condition of this, as well as tna'
of the lower BRIDGE near Mr.. Tolly's, or else
they would take somo steps to have them re-
paired.
Bv reference to the advertisement of Mrs.
