The clerk of the weather unscrewed
the heat valves during Sunday and Non

GAZING BANKs.-From Mr.. W. B.
Walker we learn that the levee and bat
ture in front OF Woodstock plantation
has caved in To the width of Is yards

river road at that point The State En-

The cotton ginneries OF our city have
entered into an agreement by means
Of which their patrons will be served
according to n Just and moderate scale
of charges. Live and LET live is the
principle which has controlled our GIN

rates which are contained in their no.

LivINGsroN's FIRST. The free State
this season sent its first bale of cotton to
that stirring buyer and merchant, Mr..
Andrew Jackson, who made appropriate
acknowledgement for the compliment
paid him. Mr.. Jackson, as in past
years, is prepared to handle cotton with
his well-known vim. "The highest
market price paid for cotton" is his
motto
Joshua Beal, like the old Virginia OF
his nativity, "never tires" Encouraged
by the bright prospect before us, he is
actually heaping goods in his capaoious
store corner Third and Laurel streets.
He seems to have taken the hint of the
CAPIToLIAN that well assorted stock

home. Go and see his well arranged
grocery and be satisfied, See adver.
