We have received some very fine turnips

Every little helps.

We would call attention to the prospectus
of the Leonard Scott publishing company,
which appears on another page of this issue.
This company reprint the excellent literary
reviews and magazines of England and Scot
land, which rank among the very first pub
lications of current literature in this age.
The merchants and business men of An
de-son have agreed to close their places of
business on Monday and Tuesday next, in
order to give their employees an opportunity

transact business at this place on the days
mentioned.
The county officers elected on the 7th of
November have all prepared their official
bonds, which are duly recorded in the
Clerks Office, as the law requires, and they
are now awaiting their commissions from
Gov. Hampton, to whom the bonds have
been forwarded. These gentlemen do not
recognize Chamberlain as the Governor, and
will not accept commissions at his hands.
This is the right position.
