Since leaving home on the 9TH dav of

are hosptable and kind The feeling
that ! supposed existed here in the

of the leading people are well pleased
with the present order of things and
claim II blessing that they are rid of
slavery; but the problem still exists in
their minds, What shall be done with
the negro.
The principal question here is the
money question, as at the north. ON
which they seem TO be divided. Bust !
ness, especially mercantile, is mostly |
done on the credit system The vol |
ume OF trade seems to compare favor |
aoly with the north. Prices are HIGH. !
The best flour retails at 5000: potatoes
al oO cents, the merchants paying 40 |
cents from wagons.
The city is divided as to merchan.
disc. The north side sell grains. hard
ware, drugs, etc; the south side sell
dry goods. Think of It-living in
the heart of a city and going mile to
get your groceries if lying on the
south idle of railroad; if living on the
north side. then going "A mile or more
