Improvements. —There are several
improvements going on in town, much
to the benelit and appearance of the
place. The oi l hotel, that for a long
time stood a neglected, and decaying
eye sore in a beautiful street, is being
thoroughly repaired; in fact its whole
appearance is undergoing a great change
It is the property of Miss Mottle Kirk
land, who is fitting it up for a hotel,
which she will occupy at an early dav.
Her facilities for accommodating will
be splendid, and every body knows what
a good table she keeps; so, of course, it
wiil be a popular resort for regular
bonders and visitors.
Mr. C. D, Roberson is putting up a
livery stable on an opposite lot, and ad
joining Mr. Harrell’s shop. It will be
a commodious building in a very desi
rable locality, and will help the looks
of that pa t of town. Mr. J. 11. fFill
ins has n the lost few months put up
a beautiful Green House, fronting
Broad st reet, and is every day beautify
ing the grounds that surround it,
Dr. Powell is just about finishing a
nice store, with two entrances an i de
partments, and a basement nicely ar
ranged for a slaoon or office. Those
with many other minor improvements,
show this place to be in a healthy grow
ing condition.

Death.— We arc pained to announce
the death of Johnny Mcßride, some,
thing oyer 17 years of age, who died at
the old homestead, where his brother, T.
A. Mcßride now resides. He suffered
extremely for months before his death
with Neuralgia, that had permeated his
whole system, and defied medical skill.
Ilis shoulders, arms, and spine were
most affected by it, and yet when the
more severe paroxysm of pain wer not
upon him, lie could get up and eat his
meals, and during the time his appetite
was unabated, and lienee when life
suddenly began to succumb to the fell
destroyer, and the cheek to grow pal id
with his icy touch, no wonder that a
solemn suppose fell upon his, fond
watchers and friends.
lie was a promising young man, full
of life and vigor, and prospective man
hood, trustful and respective to all, and
affectionate to his fond btftnow distress
ed mother, brothers and sisters. We
thought as they lipd him in the cold and
silent grave-, and' the falling earth ratt
led ruthlessly on the planks that hid him
away from his friends and tlie world so
young, of the beautiful but touching
lines of Airs. Ilemans :
"Leaves have their time to fall.
And (Ewers to wither at tlie norih winds breath,
And stars to set ,
But thou! thou hast all time for thine Own, oh,
Couth!'
