BARSEsyILLE, January %.
The dull season has struck Barnes
vile, and all departments OF human ac-
tiyity are in a state oi lethargy. The
usual business stAgnation which comes
utter the holidays perysdes all branches
Of trade. Our merchants report larger
holiday sales than ever before, but when
the last Ol January comes, when the
bnttom has fallen out oi the roads and
the needs Oi the winter supplied, then,
indeed, our streets seem remarkably
Quiet We are isolated from the coun-
try districts by mud. Nobody comes 10
town unless obliged 10 do N, A. the
ruads are in a fearful condition and
the mud intolerable: and never in
all the history Of BarnesyilIe have
We known it 10 destitute OF news
There is positively nothing OF interest
and We must acknowledge We are dead
stuck. The cut and dried subject the
weather il exhausted. The tall woman
matter exploded and while We have
awaited With interest some new item
nothing has occurred 10 break the
mono,ony. Where are the gossipsI
Where Is ANYBODY? Certainly there
needs 10 be a oOnynlsion ot some sort
10 arouse our people iron the peaceful
tranquility.
A i.x OF our citizens afforded them
selves the delight OF attending the open
ing Of the Zanesviile opera honse,
while many more would have but Tie
seats we're gObbled up by Speculation.
and the people did not like the idea ID
investing the earnings Of a week ior one
night Of music. Tie general opinion
seems 10 be that the opera troupe
was not ~ hne a. the house
and there xss slight disappointment
