Business In Homer.

Last Saturday was the best business

merchants. Our streets once more looked
crowded with wagons and teams, bring

dry goods away. Nearly all of our mcr-

a good price every bale Of cotton that the
farmers Of Claiborne or any other parish
would bring here. a lively trad" could ~"
hult up IN our midst, and our mnucycd
