Business appears to have opened up in earnest
The Board of Registrars were withus Monday
Walton's saloon wears the horns-wither
/ Black were the donors.
Fall and winter goods have arrived in large
quantities the past week.
We had rain last Thursday about dust, and
again Friday, the latter quite hard.
The trap and ball" now gives wav to the
more exhilerating sport of bird hunting.
Friday and Saturday were red hot business
days which convinced us that there is life in the
old land vet.
]. H. Powell our wide-awake agent And lum-
Der man, received eight carloads of lumber in
one day last week.
Two hundred and twenty-five bales of cotton
Is the aggregate received up to Monday evening,
and the cry Is, still ii comes.
Our enterprising young friend Master Frank
Mellon, has opened a fruit stand in the business
center of our town and We hope TO see him well
patronized.
The tariff on cotton from here to Jackson and
Nicksburg is the same 81 - per bale The dis
lance 70 the former point is Is = and the latter
70 miles.
We observe a class of fine goods in stock with
our merchants not usually kept here heretofore.
They say the growing popularity and trade of
Mr.. G. d. England of whom "White Oak"
speaks as having barely escaped assassination
at the hands of two Greenbackers was for sew
eral years a resident of our town and during
that time always conducted himself in a man
ner that reflected credit upon him rs young
man whose charaeterwas above reproaeh.
Mr.. r. L. Moffett who resides about three
miles from town, accidently shot himself one
day last week whilst loading, pistol, the bali
entered his right side near the arm-pit and
passed through under the shoulder-blade, in
ficting an ugly and painful though not danger
Gus wound.
The Greenhaekers' pow-wow here last Satur-
day a very tame affair. The few who con
descended 10 grace the occasion being princi-
pally whites and were attracted more through
curiosity, and as they expressed it, to the fun
than anything else. Mcleod and Atwood appear
20 be tolerable decent colored men and were it
not that they are both nominees with a faint
hope Of obtaining office, We should think strange
10 see them battling for such forlorn hope.
We are panied to announce the death of Mrs.
Mary 5. Withers, the loving consort of our
prominent fellow-townsman Capt J. 2. Withers,
which sad event occurred at their residence
at o'clock last Wednesday evening. Her
sudden and almost wholly unexpected de-
mise has east gloom over our entire communi-
ty, where she was adored by all for her many
excellent qualities Of the heart and mind To the
bereaved husband and her now motherless lit
tie girl extend our truly heartfelt sympathy
and coincidence.
