Nevada County picayune., 1890-01-22

Ed Hood, is sick with pneumonia. Trust it is only slight attack, and that he will be we'll enough to start out tax collecting as advertised, Monday. In case he can't go, Dep uty J. E. Crossland informs us that he and MT. Joe Hood will make the round.
 CoTToN SHIrMENT: From our clever railroad agent, Mir. B. c. Jones, we learn Prescott had shipped S3l1 bales of cotton mp to Saturday night, the 18th. This is about ,0O0 bales ahead of last years receipts and several hundred bales ahead of either Hope or Philadelphia. We have had an immense trade this fall, Prescott is all right, with bright business future before it.
 Mir. $. B. Paddock returned from his holiday visit to his old home, near Charlotte, N. C., Wednesday night, and reports a pleasant tune. He now sends the PICAYuNE to his broth CT, Mir. J. T. Paddock, of Beaver Dam, N. C., who speaks of moving out here this fall. We would well come him, and assure him he will find this good place to locate healthy, good lands, clever, prosper ous people, and fine schools.
 RELIABLE LABOR. What this coun- try needs, and needs badly, is relia- ble labor. Negro labor has proven almost worthless, and farmers and all say they want a change. We know that good, reliable white labor can be secured from the old States. MT. $. B. Paddock, just back from North Carolina, says he knows of fifty or more good families (white) who would be only too glad to come out here, were transportation fur nished them, cost of which would be repaid in work. Now, if the people want good white labor. they can get it, but it will take some trouble and outlay to secure it. If you slt still you will never get change, or ac- complish anything in any line.

We shall con tinue to carry full and complete stock of Dry Goods, Clothing, Hats, Notions, Furnishing Goods and Boots and Shoes, in our already large salesroom, and after Feb'y lst, we shall move our grocery stock to the house now occupied by Messrs.
