Quite a number of new and

erected in our city lately, and
more are prospected. All of
these are Of the better class and
aside from being somewhat or

quire electric lights and water,
hence contributing considerably

This town ought to be as lively
as the average place of its size
anywhere: with fine crops of
cotton, corn, potatoes, etc., and
most Of this produce coming in as
fast as it is gathered, and with
all the churches (the colored ones,
me mean) in full blast, a show,
ETC., in the Opera House,-why
this is enough to stir up a first
class boom anywhere.
