TIE WEATHER. Another fine day
yesterday, thanks to the clerk OF the
weather.
BUSINESS Was tolerably brisk yester-
day. but candor compels us to say that
1t could have been better, and then not
the year, however, big UP freights are
not the order of the day, as our planters
are at present busily engaged in organ
4 izing their labor for tho next crop, and
until they get that arranged, OF course
but little or nothing In the way of sup
plies will be ordered After the first Of
next month we expect to see our packets
do q rushing business.

Items of news are rather scarce now
adays on the river front. II somebody
will not shoot somebody. else get up a
dog fight, go drown themselves or do
something Terrible and by so doing give
us river reporters something to write
about, we will get desperate and when
we get that way we are bad, and there Is
no telling what may happen.

work Of the lower landing, just below
