better than We anticipated. We n.

Crystal Springs is one Of the most
pleasantly situated towns on the road
having wide streets, abundance Of
shade trees and we'll built houses.
From. street, on the east side, con-
tlits number OF well-buit AMI sub.
tautial brick stores. with hlnsome in
side arrangements, aud ornamental

part OF the busincps is conf led to
this side cf the town, on frjnt street
ard the two s,rectR leading out ens'.
There are quiet number OF hand
some residences. H,ro You will no
tice one nesting within u grove OF
majestic oaks; there one modcst'y
pceping out f;om behind cvergroens
and vine. clad bowers, and the,e an
,ther surrounded by many colored
rosas and rare exotics.
TIE people are clever aid open
hearted, md tue business men Lave
arspntation far aud near for libcrali y
aud fair dealing. The church ard

lent, tho ho,el accommodations are

Capt. Wilkinson end NJ j. Andre

nees emergency that may arise.
Several merchants are now absent,
laying in their fail stock, among
them Mc. J. c. Smith, ono of the
largest aud heaviest dealers in drr
goods aud groceries. Mr.. &. w
Birdsong has recently purchased the
stock of T. B. Birdsong & c., and
intends TO run fall stock OF every
thug in tho liuc OF general mcrcfan-
disc. We dropped into the NJ tor
Office few minutes md made the
acquaintance Of C1l. Ably, who is an
agreeable and anable gentleman.
He has ac,t Office and gives the
psople OF tho Springs good paper.
We noticed somc improvements 60
ing on. The mayors office is being re-
paired under tho superintendent o!
the worthy mayor, Mr.. a. j. S,ursess,
man whom the people delight to
honor. Mr.. J. W. B,iIoy is ono oil
tho solid men Of the town, and his
substantial brick house on the main
corner is quiet imposing in appear
nncO.
Crystal Springs has long been no.
ted for its pretty ladies, and sue Ger.
,.inly has good cause 10 stou''y 70.
sist the claims OF any other town for
superio i'y in this respect. Ii tho
ladies are as pretty as the men are
polite and agreeable, then they are
indeed all that constituts lovlines Z.
Mr.. jordan, the city marshall, re-
ports thai law and order prevail, aud
that, rs general thing, the town iS

COMPILING, with the laws that DO.
Tao citizens are thoroughly arous
Ell on political matters, and fully re-
,liz, the Importance of carrying tho
election. There is no such thius as
tagging with thsm. What they do
is with q spirit and energy that Is
truly refreshing. They guarantee
that their box will not be found
wanting when thrown into the pc.
litical scales in November. We were
pleased to fluid tho people in good
cheer, looking confidently forward to
the triumph OF democratic prin cip!cs,
and to an early and increased fall
trade. That they may SEQ tho frui-
ton of their hopes, is the wish OF the
SIGNAL.
