limiDary examination tomorrow, when it
will be established whether or not there is

it proves that southern produce and
manufactures are beginning to move to
northern markets and corresponding
movement Of ready wealth to the south.

We would like to trade our telephone
WlTt Ut DuuDtT LOT SOME OIOcT number or |
wire, or a small boy to carry messages or
anything else that can be depended upon.
Number GO will do very well in bright
clear weather, when one would as soon
take a walk" as not, but let it rain or
snow, or even threaten and Immediately
and invariably the wire gets crossed, tied
up and mixed up with every wire in the
city, and we hear everybody and every
thing but the person or thing we want.
Who wants to trade, borrow or buy2 Don't
all shout at once.
