A DAIRY.-C Capt. John Bnrdette
who recently moved from Leon to
this city, has started a dairy and is
now supplying our citizens with
fresh milk and butter. This is an
enterprise that ought to be en-.
couraged, and we arc glad TO know
that Capt. Burdette is doing much
more at tho business than he ex-
pected. He delivers milk at your
doors every morning. Now sell
your cows, get rid of the annoyance
of attending to them, aud also the
fear of having them killed by the
railroads, and patronize the dairy
For several days the electric
lights werediscontinued by the COM
pany 10 make some needed repairs,
and also to put in new incandes-
cent dynamo. The store lights are
now independent ofthe streetlights,
as two different dynamos are being
used. The lights are all right now,
and there is not likely to be any
more ''going out" just when one
most needed lights.
Old fashioned winter has been
with us for several days. Snow
rain and sleet has been plenty.
Out in the country it has played
havoc with orchards, the icy coat
ing on the trees becoming SO heavy
that many trees were broken down.
One farmer said to us the other day
that the ice on his fruit trees had
caused more damage that a cyclone.

Curtis and R. w. Winkleblack;

The new postal cards have made
their appearance, in two sizes. One
size is the same as the old ones,
while the other is big enough to
write a letter on. The small ones
are designed for the use of the
ladies. The ladies will probably
use them to write their messages
and then use the big ones for the
postscript.
The Charleston, Clendenin &
Sutton Railroad Company are ad.
vertising for proposals to build the
first 25-mile section of their line.
The proposals are to be opened Feb.
20, and the construction of this
section will be awarded Immediately
thereafter.
Go TO Tomlinson, the we'll known
and cheap hardware and tinware
merchant.
The people of this section win not
be placed at the mercy of tho ice
manufacturers next summer. The
cold spell of weather that set in
carly last week made plenty of ice,
and nearly ever icc-house in town
is full by this time.
Ravenswood voted last week in
favor of license. Now if the county
court will grant them, Ravenswood
will soon have a number of saloons,
something she has not had for thirty
years, except in an underground
way.
