The town of Neece is certainly on
little boom, and real solid ons
at that. For several years il lss
cen held back or down from one
cause or another, but now the fu-
ture Of the place is unquestionably
assured. The great boiling springs,
whose waters are the best in the
State for kidney troubles and ihdl-
gestion, are just on the outskirts, in
fact the we'll kept and delightful ho-

distant from the depot. The waters
of these springs will in the near fu-

fby that energetic citizen, j. S. .Llv-
ingston, ard his brothers. Mr.. Liv-

We recently organized a bank with
a capital of ten thousand dollars and
it is now being erected substantially
of brick. The following gentlemen
are its officers. Mr.. Danl. D. DAVIS,

men OF sterling worth and under
their management there can be no
