EDITOR DEMoCRAT-STAR - Our
town seems to be Oh the onward
move, and everything is lovely.
There has been several changes in
property lately. The firm of G. &
N. Butchert have built new wharf
extending out to the channel, and
we are to have the steamer New
Camelia, to run here once a week;
fare for the round trip seventy.hve
cents, which beats the railroad all
hollow. Friend "Nick" is an enter
prising young man, and will sue
coed in this enterprise.
L. L. Jordy & Co., of the "Red
Store" notoriety, have built a very
large and commOdious store, aud
are building a track to connect
their house with the New Orleans
and Mobile railroad. They will
move in their new store this week.
This is an enterprising firm and de-
serve success. Mr.. Fred Jordy
has opened "a new brick, lumber
and lath yard, and seems to be do
ing well.
Mr.. g. M. Bisshea is tax collector
of our town, and in the performance
of his duties seems to give satisfac-
ton to the people.
There is considerable inquiry for
property of late, and the indications
are that we will have a lively sum-
mer at this place and we anticipate
many visitors from the cities.

NORFOLK, Va, has largely increased il
wealth since the war through an energetic

Why should not every town on

Northern markets and through the
energetic handling OF oysters? Oys-
ters are plentiful and cheap here,
and vegetables a be grown in

The Murphy Movement at Aber-

Aberdeen Examiner
At first it seemed as though the
seed of reform had fallen i'll bar
rem places" but gradually, first one
at "a time, then in couples, then III
threes, and finally III a steady stream,
the friends of the movement stepped
forward, gave in their names, re-
ceived cards, and appendinS the
blue ribbon badges to the breasts OF
til, if coats and dresses; the net
result of the first nights work being
one hundred and five signers. OF
course the greater number of these
were ladies and those who merely
looked "upon the wine when it was
red,n yet there were among the
number who donned the Murphy
badge, some who had sacrificed
mach to the syren OF the still, and
if the efforts that were made on
Monday night shall result in their
permanent relief, the time, and
talent, and labor was we'll expended.
