Since the launching of the last schooner
that was on the stocks, mechanical BUSINESS
is fat Many people are leaving town, and
tits likely many more will follow. The dull
ness in the mechanical line has its cores
pouding effect on the mercantile trade. which
as a natural sequence is also dull. J. c. At
kius K Son are taking most of the country
trade in eggs, railroad ties aud pine wood,
and more than a proportiouate share of the
town custom. George Atkins, r., the head
salesman, is always on the qui Yive to strike
a bargain and is bound to sell, and with his
assistants, Mr. William Wilson and Jar les
Mason, make things lively when customers
are around. They are all subscribers to the
CHRONICLE, and divided between both pslit-
ical parties, They attribute their success in
business, and their sprlghtliness and activ-
ity, to reading the newsy letters contained
therein. "For," say they, when we go
home on Friday evenings tired and worn
down, we pick up the CHRNNIcLE and read
with avidity the various letters therein.
News from the different towns of the State,
and we go to bed aud sleep the sleep of the |
just. Next morning we get up feeling like
giants refreshed with new wine, aud go to /
work with a vim that we were strangers to |
the day before. At intervals we will think |
Of the accidents, aud smile at the incidents
VIC have read, and altogether we are edited
and instructed. All tell you, there is no
better panacea for low spirits aud tired ma
ure, than good live paper" So saith the
writer, also.
The colored camp at the school house
.losed on Sunday evening.
Captain Silas Dodd, of the schooner E. G.
irwin, is in town.
The subject of the Rev. R. S. Willamson's
DISCOURSE on next Sunday evening will be

The law compelling the registration of

ly with its conditions without great deal :
expense of time and money. Would it
OF have bssu better to have allowed prop

such were the case, then persons going
way might register before leaving.

ritten in Mr. WilIis's own beautiful style,
assical and howery. It is altogether unor- o.
odox, scaths hypocrisy, treats of mans re-
ions to his environments, and scientifically
plains mans relation to the supernatural.
lie story teaches an important moral lesson

read, not only for the important truths |
light therein, but for its beautiful language !.
