A competent auctioneer can do more
toward making u public sale a success
than any thing else. One man who und-
erstands his business can get twice as
much for goods as another who takes no
interest in working up sale, and works
only for the money there is in 1t for him.
Persons who expect to have public sales
this spring will do well to communicate
with John 8. Williams, Bloomsburg, and
secure his service as auctioneer. He is
in demand everywhere, and it would be
well to secure him early. His sales are
well attended, and always bring good
prices. For terms address John y. Will.

FIRST TINE sINCB THE WAR.
1t SCENE hardly necessary to say any
thing OF the history of Gen. B. F. Butler.
No man in the whole nation has been
more constantly in the public eye for the
last four decades than he. As q success

fore the war, as patriOs who was among
the first to RESPOND to the counhy's call
at the firing upon Fort Sumpter, as the
man who gave New Orleans the best
government the city ever had, as Com
mander Of the Army OF the James, as a
Representative In Congress and leading
politician since the war, he has had pub
lie attention constantly focused upon
him. No man in the country has recciv-
ed more praise aud more abuse than he,
and no man has more warm, personal
friends and admirers. Many of the
people Of the South have been / articular-
ly bitter against him, and have tried to
make his name the synonym for all that
was detessable. He is now about to re-
turn good for evil, and heap Goals of fire
upon the heads OF his detractors by u
great enterprise to help restore prosperity
TO the region which suffered so severely
from the ravages Of the war. He is at
the head Of the great Georgia Alabama
Investment ard Development Co., whose
advertisement appears elsewhere in this
paper, which is n Gc up Of capitalists
whom he has associated with himself IN
scheme to rebuild and develop 'Arge por-
tions of Dixie. Early next month he in.
tends to make tour Of the South, visit
ipg that section for the first time since
the close OF the war-twcnty-six years
ago. He will 60 TO New Orleans, and to
all other prominent points, and surve,
the fields Of operations of this company
carefully, to inform himself personally as
to the possibilities of each locality, There
is something phenomenal in such q tour
by general whose first visit was sword
