It is* nothing but fair ttf Boy that
J. S. Handy and T. O. Leavel &
Co., have clerks who feel a keen in
terest in the welfare of their em
ployers. nie heroic labor they
performed during the fire last Mon
day night attests that fact. While
we .do not wish to be partial in the
bestowal of praise, we must say
that our handsome and polite young
friend Joe, who works for Mr.
Handy, labored with heroic exertion
to save the store in which he makes
so efficient and pleasant a clerk.
iîr. II. D. Vaughan, who went
to the city some two weeks ago,
returned last Saturday. He se
cured a boat while gone and was on
his'way to the Point with it when
he met Capt. C'ryer at Trenton and
sold out to him "from stem to
stern." "VVe are sorry Mr. Vaughan
did not enter the bayou trade. His
own interest, however, must have
forbidden his doing so.
A contribution was gotten up
last Wednesday for the benefit of
Dick Butcher, who went "teeth and
toe nail" into the fire-fighting army
last Monday night. Everybody in
the business part of. town did some
thing for faithful old Dick, who is
much better to his friends than to
himself. Dick is a good old negro.
Mr. M. H. Robinson, of Gum
Swamp, was married one evening
last week to Miss Sallie Collins. In
the inexpressible exuberance of his
newly-found felicity, Mr. Robinson
forgot the claims of this "progres
sive" and "conservative" journal.
He is very politely excused, how
ever.
Capt. Ford, the popular mule
man, informs us that, owing to
sickucss in his family, he was una
ble to go in person to St. Louis for
more stock, but that he utilized the
wires _juid ordered sixty head of
good mules which will be here on
the 3d of Ufarch. Capt. Ford sells
good stock and sells cheap.

you will trade.

One of the most complete hum
bugs of the day is the show that
was in this town last Saturday.
Yet hundreds of people who saw
the fraud in the day time paid fifty
cents to see it again at night.
Great is the mystery of human de
sires !
We are sorry to learn that Mr.
Baynard Turpin, an old and re

For some time we have noticed
some eccentric movements of our
devil. We have studied him care
fully, anxious to ascertain his fu
ture designs and purposes. We
have succeeded. His aim in the
groat arena of life is to be a circus

a printer devil.

We are informed by Mr. J. B.
Reily that in Gum Swamp labor is
plentiful and the negroes are happy
