saw mill and cotton gin right in
the centre of town? Cannot the
city authorities take some step
that will prevent such a nuis

they should seek. their place

those who are in position tc
know that the city authorities
could, if they only would, fur

country carts loaded with cotton
should be brought to the princi

for half a day at a time. Market
street would be a splendid place
for all this business to be car
ried on.

of its central location, is destined
to become the leading market O
