Mr.. j. A.. Turner, of the well.
known firm of Cox, Turner e. Co.,
of Mobile, called to see us this
week, but we were ont at the time
and failed to see him. We learn
this firm is filling many orders in

We had a pleasant visit this
week from Capt. Sam'l X. Mayors,
son OF the business manager, who
has just returned from the far
West, whittier he had been in the
capacity of Indian scout, reporter
for a daily paper, and clerk under
Gen. Howard. Sam gives MS many
thrilling narratives of his adven-
lures among the noble Red men,
and relates some narrow escapes
from their flashing scalping knives,
and other such fond amuse ments
characteristic of these blOated
land-hOlders and cricket-eaters.
He looks young, handsome and
and no doubt this trip has
given him much experience which
will be of great value to him in
the future.
