Barnett now claims the honor of having
the only rock-crusher and more side- tracks

The Georgia railroad company has placed

Cotton is coming in slowly for want of
better ginning facilities. Have never
known the farmers so backward in getting
their cotton to market. The cotton is

must have been some money on tlie board
as that article is said to attract gentlemen
of that profession.

why the Washington gent wants to put
his turnips in a nail-keg for, anyhow.
The Gazette very titely and wise,y re
marks: It is a noticeable fact that per- ■
sons who have chickens, eggs, butter, fresh j
meat, &e., rarely bring them in for sale
except oa Saturdays, show days and the
like. They expect on these big days to
get a good market price for these articles !
w *'de it turns out just the reverse, because
everybody brings in on those days and j j
consequently the market is flooded. If
these artH .es were brought in all along
through the wee*, they would most always
realize a fair n irk *t price.

Wa,renton is a beautiful little town.The
streets are broad and level, lined with
large shade trees. Tlie dwellings are, «sa

most prominent merchants of this place.
