TIL REASONS WHY
All should buy their Groceries from
Petfis e. Bird.

Petfis g. Bird,
Below We give number OF reasons
why people should buy their groceries
from Pettis & Bird:
lat.-Because their stocks is the largest,
freshest and choicest in the city.
2nd. Because they sell goods Of every
Kind cheaper than any other house in the
city.
Jrd.-Because they deliver goods more
promptly and In better shape than any
other house in the city.
4th.--Because they keep the most COM
plets stock, and persons desiring TO
purchase different kinds OF goods are not
compelled 70 90 elsewhere because
alessra. p. & B. have not got the goods
they want.
These we consider substantial r6asons
why our readers should buy their goods

We made mistake In our item about
the 4. NJ. Norton, Wednesday. We
should have said she took six empty
barges and one barge loaded with Iron,
and that she took on 800 barrels OF flour
here for the Chesapeake and Ohio rall>
road, and will get $50 or 400 tons of corn
above here.
The New Orleans Times of January
4th, says;
"The Mississippi Valley Transports
ton company's steamer Future City,
Captain w. A. Coll, arrived yesterday
with seven loaded barges, containing
principally 1873, 465 bushels bulk corn,
1912 sacks corn, 3,46l sacks oats, 4 1893
sacks oil cake, NS bales hay and 45O
packages -four. She will leave to-day,
Feb. 4, at II m. on her return trip to
Memphis, Cairo and st. Louis. Capt.
John A. Stephenson, No. 4G Camp street,
Is her agent"
We had reason to .Delieye that her
item of bulk grain would be larger
than this, but as 1t Is, II stands the lar2.
est cargo that has yet been taken into
New Orleans.
Louisville Courier, Feb, 9Th;
Alabama Ia going to be the greatest
coal and iron producing state in the
country some day. The tide of emmi,
grafton toward 1t is swelling now, and
iron producers are building large con-
Germs there already. About ninety
families from Pennsylvania will pass
through here shortly, "gwine down ter
Alabam'."
1t Ia certainly gratifying for us to an
nounce the fact that on and after this
date the rates OF toll on the Louisville
and Portland canal are reduced. Capt.
A. n. Lee, L. s. A., having local charge
of the canal, sends US the following in
formation concerning the reduction, and
we certainly speak the sentiments OF our
steamboatmen and river men generally
when we express thanks to the gentle
men who have thus favored them. This
ia the paper, which fully explains Itself

Bishop of Mobile, has issued an appeal to all
his Diocese, of most eloquent and touching
nature, to the effect that the collection, on
Sunday the 18th, should be for our sadly
stricken brethren. In response to this appeal
our dearly beloved Pastor, Father Savage, told
his congregation, as this was an extraordinary
occasion, he was Obliged to tskesthe unusual
step of taking up the collection himself The
result was most gratifying from the people who
had 80 literally donated to the general city
