SUCCESSFUL REVOLUTION.


"There is n tide In the affairs OF men,
which, when taken ut the flood leads to

as the self-mado hero In his drama, can
look bnCk upon the past Of his own lie,
well spent on the slow but sure road to
wealth. A fit Illustration OF what these
few lines claim, Is furnished In this city

ing zeal and a thorough Integrity OF

ing to make some changes In the inte-
ri0r Of his store. and foundries and me-
chanos have been quite busy preparing
the needed material. An this pre-
liminary work has now sufficiently
advanced that the work Will begin
ut the end Of this month. How
ever, In order to accomplish this,
large stock OF furniture and carpets must
be closed out to make room, said Mr..
wolfson to LIGH1 representative; all
these goods have been remarked low,
and you can buy them, they being new,
at less figures than you pay for second
hand goods. Convince yourself, exam
inc the goods and prices marked on the
same.
II will not be at all surprising II the
rush that has been made for WOlfson's

this month. The LIGiIT advises all who
wish TO replace old carpets with new
ones to take a look at the assortment at

COUNTY sURYEYLNG.


d = 4 ~ J : t...f
I'beg permission through the medium of
your paper, to call public attentionsto the
improper action of the county commission
ers, and the wrong done me in the appoint
ment of surveyor to run the county line,
at their recent meeting here on the tst
Monday of this month. 1t is well known
that am the duly elected and qualified
surveyor for the county, and my fitness
and qualifications are not questiopedib by; any
one who knows me, or has had an occasion
to have my services Now, ask, was it
right, or in justice, to me, after the people
have elected me to this position; and when
I have gone to the expense of purchasing
proper instruments, to ignore me and EN-
ploy another surveyor no better qualified,
l suppose, than / am. claim that am
the officer of the county for this and SINH
lar work, and as such, think 1 am entitled
to the benefits of such service. It is too
slim an excuse for the county commission
ers to say that they had to make contract
with any one for this work, at the time
they did. Their duty, it occurs to me, and
will likely strike the public in the same
light, was to direct the county surveyor to
do to the work, and pay him for his SER
vices whatever is prescribed by law, which
is plain in the case; and they know it, or
ought to, at least. know nothing about
what the commissioners are to pay Mr.. j.
G.. Aston, only from rumor, and therefore,
will say nothing about it, only that un-
derstand he is to receive more than the
law allows for such surveys.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if the commissioners
can show to the public, or to me, as county
surveyor, any reason or excuse for the
manner in which they have acted, will
have nothing more to say. But cannot
answer for the public. g.tr yf.,,.
am, very respectfully,
