Notwithstanding the short crops, and consequent dull times, the Christmas trade was good, and will always be. Not ihe least conspic uous was the jug business. This however benefits Macon almost solely, fur they got tho money, and we the oblivion and head-ache, Tobo Bonner with his family of eight left for Texas on Monday.

It takes some nerve theso crispy mornings to launch out after a pack of hounds, but Cary is equal to the emergency, and most generally’ re turns with a trophy. It was rather diaphanous for that party who failed to return on the afternoon train, Christmas Eve, to say that they were left. We have been there; but long since learned that to lay it on the train was trite. Good punctuation and an absence of typographical errors, evidences the fact that our recent notes have fallen to the lot of an old Jour. Thus when we meet O.
