I’.vuiiorr, G.v., January 0, ItiftJ —A city that Is set upon a hill cannot he hid, therefore the world cannot espcct the growing city of Parrott to remain i|iiiet, unseen or unkunwp. The towering pines that sumiuntlrrt the place failed to conceal w hen much smaller than no and as so many of these have succumbed to the woodman's use, the miller's saw, and the carpenter's plane, one now be holds rather than pine*. And the beau ty of it is that it has taken no ''invest ment companies," "Improvement com panies," or "huihllng and loan associa tions," hut shout every dollar's worth of properly Is owned and all improve ments made by residents of the place.

Last year about 700 bates of cotton were re ceived, this year the receipts will foot up about 1,-I00 bales and Mr. Parrott says the doubling process Is to keep on for years to come To prevent any In convenience In handling eotton and to facilitate business generally and for the accommodation of their planter friends, the citizens are discussing the establish meat of a bank in tba near fatnve, which will do much In tba development of the town’* numberless resources.

Later, this aai has perused other resolutions declaring itsslf non-pnjtisnn, and forbidding political quaatloa* discussed in Its Inga. Notwithstanding the position token by Livingston and others, then are qnltoa number of democratic boilers, and as It Is believed they will have strength In the county alliance that meets on Thursday, it would not surprise some If tb* oouaty alliance should endorse the third party ssove- meat. Bat knowing the conservatism of so as* of tho moot earaful alllanoemen of tho county, wo do not believe Hoh'ey county alliance will now, or ovor hereafter on- dorse ofllolally a third party movamont, Mr. D.
