M., meets on the sec olid Saturday ill each month, -at 10 o’clock in the morning. Farmers have been scarce in town tliis week, and trade has been light. Most of the, tillers of the soil are well up with their work. Perry has offered the B. & B. thfc right-of-way through Houston county and $10,000 if the road will pass through that town.
