We are told by our farmer friends
that owing to the persistent efforts of the
Intelligencer there will be a very much
larger crop of tobacco planted in this
county this year than ever before. We
hope that it will result advantageously.
We understand that arrangements
have been made to place gas fixtures in
the Masonic Hall in this city. The Hall
is probably the most beautiful n in
the state outside of St. Louis, and with
this improvement will be complete in
all its appointments.
Having purchased a large lot of Lam
dreth's celebrated garden seeds, we are
enabled to offer them at the following

en-. These seeds are all fresh and gem
uine, snd we respectfully solicit the pub
lie patronage at the above figures.

community, and We know of no reason
why we should not speak Of its errors,
or its excsllencies.-CRegister." Really!
We'll. now you've tried your hand on
what you supposed to be its 'errors'' for
sometime. suppose you give us a change
by telling of its "e1cellencies" for a
while. We're not in the habit of boast
ing about these excellencies ourselves,
SO it would help us out, maybe.

need feel no concern for its financial or
business success as it is doing very well,
and is in a very healthy condition.
When the Register learns to speak of US
in polite terms, it will find that we will
treat it with courtesy. 1t e was
more mistaken in its life than to think
that we had lost our temper.
The following anecdote is told Of Rev.
VIM. Hickman, whom we mentioned
