No doubt much of the sickness of this town is attributable to the filthy condi- tion of outhouses and back alleys. The people demand of the council an abate- ment of the evil and we hope they will at once begin the work.

Mir. uisjBernays takes charge of the business, and a friend writing to us from Little Rock says of him 1: ''Louis" is too well known to need re- commendation, and for honesty, fair ness and full worth of your money, he surpasses all in his line of business. Having seen his new stock, we pro- noInce it SPLENDID; and the gorgeous display which he now makes, having never been approXimated here before, receives universal admiration and the highest recommendation that can be given.
 --''I say, Jenny, put on your bonnet and go with me to Roys' hardware store" "What for, John ?' ''To get cook stove, Jenny" "Why, John, we can't; we have only got fourteen dollars" claws bless you, Jenny, he only asks SIP all trimmed complete.
