Rev. Mr.. Let on a Visit North.

On Tuesday morning of this week Rev.
AAr. Aeet left us for few weeks visit at
tho North. The evening previous to his
departure number of his neighbors in the
village and from the country proposed to
give him an unexpected" call. and bid him
short goodbye. Some half dozen or
more had assembled before Mr.. l.. compre-
hended his situation, but as light dawned
upon his mind CLEAN of real surprise
and satisfaction, which he could not con-
ceal, passed over his cOuutenance, and his
manner was evidence of the pleasure he
felt in being so kindly remembered. Soon
the large parlOrs of "Parce-Land Home''
were well filled and resOunded with the
warm greetings and earnest wishes of those
present for q pleasant journey and the safe
return of their pastor. The gathering was
. happy showing TO the Reverend gentle
man CT the feeling which is entertained
for him
During his absence Mr.. Leet will have
opportunity to speak of Florida, probably
in public as we'll as private circles, and we
know OF no one better qualified to speak
understandingly of the present condition
and prospective wealth of the State than
Mr.. l..
We hope his Journey will be one OF per-
sonal benefit, aud result also in advancing
tho interests OF our own and surrounding
villages, and the State at large.

Capt. Jordan's Store.

MT. John NJ. Watkins returned from his
Northern "trip last week, which to Judge
from appearances agreed with him remark
ably we'll. His purchase of goods in New

large The stock embraces general line
Of Dry Goods Ladies' and Cents Furnish
ing Goods, Boots aud Shoes, Groceries.
Canned Goods, &C., &c. in fact colnplete
assortment of seasonable merchandise
which experience has learned Mr.. w. is
needed in this community.
Capt. Jordan has lately made some i'm
provements in his store ia the shape of
fixtures for che better keeping and more
convenient handling aud display of his
goods aud that portion cf the late pur-
0hasa which has already been received
gives 30 oar store" the air and appearance
III q long established and time-honored in
stitUtioD. 1t is hardly necessary to men
ti9n any one line, yet to the stock Of Boots
and Shoes for ladies, gents and children. it
may be proper 10 call attention. The as
sortment is very large and comprises every
grade and style which 5he trade of this
section demands, and will be offered at
prices that cannot be discounted. Indeed,
this favorable feature for the buyer holds
good in other departments An inspection
of the stock throu ghout win convince any
one that Mr.. Watkins has displayed excel
leat taste and Judgment ia this purchase,
rs regards style. quality and price.
From the commencement Of business
Capt Jordaa has adhered az strictly as
possible To the cash sale' basis, and the
result has been that he has sold larger
amount of goods than was anticipated, and
upon far more satisfactory terms. A visit
10 his store viii convince any one that
what we say. and also what he advertises,
is true We invite COR readers to inyesti-
gate fox themselves.
