AAO yOuhA PoOpAo " AAAN@SA y
Valley, had a pleasant hop on Fri
day night last at the residence Ct Mr.
Harris.
The ''Mother Goose" party at the
opera house on last Saturday evening
was well attended by the children
Of the town. We understand they
enjoyed it very much.
A communication iron Hickory
Valley reports that trade is picking
up al that point, in consequence o.
tne few days of open weather last
week.
Mr.. G. II, WellonS, ia still eAgag-
ed in selling fruit~trees, and
will commence to canyasS this coun-
" in g shOIL time, All who desire
cheap and reliable truit-tICes should
hold their orders until he comes
around. 1t.
ThS road from Bolivar TO the site
selected tor the Asylum, should be
put IN frst-class order at once, as it
viii be used a great deal this sum
mer. 1t shoRld be graded, and well
brldged. Let us have at least one
frst-class road in the county.
Dir. Vincent WillOnghby, Who
was reported as missing and suppoS~
cd to oe drowned in hAtchie bottom
an account of which appeared in eur
last issue, has entered his appearance
al in good trim, except a little
worsted from his encounter with
Jshn Barleycorn.
We are pleased to be able to state
that DIR. John Nuckolls, of ToSne,
Is rapidly recovering frsm his resent
severe illness, and will soon be able
to attend to business again. DR..
Nuckolls is a valuable citizen, and
the county would have sustained a
serious injury had his sickness ter
otherwise.
Pref E. A. Fusch has a flourish
ing school at Hickory Valley. He
has sixty scholars enrolled, with an
average attendance Of over fifty.
Hickory Valley is one Of she most
pleasant villages in the county, and
Mr.. Fusoh deserves the unpreceden-
ted success he is meeting with at
that point,
The owners of property on the
East side of the square have had a
row of shade trees set cut In front of
their buildings. "Seldom Row" will
be the most delightful part Of town in
a few years; bat until the trees grow
up the doctors and lawyers, and
devils will have to take to the
court house yard when hot weather
GENES.
The Messrs. Conger, of Jackson,
we're In Boliyar on Friday last,
looking out location for a saw aRd
planning mill. They are enterpris-
ing gentlemen, and we hope they
viii see that it is to their interest to
lecate at, or near this place. A
mill of the character mentioned, To-
catsd near the river and the railroad,
would do a thriving business. An
abundance of excellent timber could
be obtained at a reasonable cost.
Spring time will soon be here, and
the merchant who advertises his
goods best, will do the business.
Now is the time to begin to adver-
tise for the spring trade. Many of
cur merchants seem to think that
they are well enough known already,
and shat there is no use in advertiS
ing. Men never made grander
mistake. That old fogY idea, which
smacks smartly of egotism. has lost
thousands of dollars to the trade OF
Bolivar. A business which is not
worth ad vertising, Is not worth fol-
lowing.
U. l., Collins, the ubiquitous ex-
cursionist will pass through Bolivar
on March 18th with an excursion
party fer New Orleans, to attend the
Grand Exposition there. The fare
from Bolivar to New Orleans and
return is only Sc so. Tickets good
fer ten days, and return on any
train. Ask ticket agent for particu
lls and don't miss this opportunity
for taking a pleasant trip cheap.
Parties holding these tickets are
entitled to tickets to the Exposition
building.
The marriage bells have beer
ringing almost necessarily in the
neighberhood of our friend Esq
Orris Harris, in the 3rd district
since Christmas. During the las
two months EEqr. Harris has married
TIE following seven couples, all o
WHOM lived within radius of tn,
