Still Here.
Seaborn Feagan, who was arrested
last Saturday, for jumping bondsmen
in Mississippi, is still flourishing his
razor and crying “next,” in his shop
near the postoffice. The officer who
caused his arrest left on Tuesday with
about three hundred dollars of Seab’s
money. He had a hearing before
Judge Pilsbury, which cost him in
the neighborhood of five hundred
dollars. He seems to be a sadder as
well as a wiser man, and will let
women alone.
Public Schools.
Our Public Schools began on Mon
day last, with a very flattering atten
dance, there being about two hundred
and fifty in tho white schools. This
number will doubtless be largely in
creased before the close of the week,
and all things point to a most pros
perous session. We have no report
from the colored schools, but will give
full report from all the schools in our
next issue.

Among our new advertisements
this morning may be found that of

his new house, with an entirely new
stock, comjjlete in every department,
he announces himself prepared to
83rve his old customers and all the
new ones who may favor him with a
call. Remember the place, north
east corner Public Square, and gov
ern yourselves accordingly.
A Busy Day.
Saturday last was a busy day for
our town. Cotton began to pour in
early in the morning, and found
ready sale at rising prices. Asa con
sequence people were in a mood to
trade, and our merchants found plen
ty of work to supply the demands of
their customers and friends. We
hope this was but an earnest of many
days to come, and the beginning of
a long business season.
Qur Special Issue.
We really feel gratification at the
reception which has been given our
special issue. All who have spoken
to us in regard to it, have spoken in
the highest commendation, and if its
reception at home be an indication of
how it will be received abroad, we
shall have accomplished all we origi
nally intended. To one and all we
say, “Thanks for your compliments.”

In Bankruptcy.
On Monday last Hon. Isaac Beckett,
Register in Bankruptcy, heard the
cases of A. Hirsch and D. A. Mayo,
and held their final examination.
Quite a number of creditors were
represented in the Hirsch case.
The business of the Court having
been Completed, Col. Beckett left for
Savannah on Tuesday morning, hav
ing made a most favorable impression
on those of our citizens with whom
he came in contact. He has long held
the office of Register, and by his up
rightness and exalted qualities of head
and heart, has made many friends.
We know of no one who would prob
ably give more general satisfaction as
the successor of Judge Erskiue of the
U. S. District Court, since that office
must of necessity be filled by a Re
publican.
