She is already h cklllfnl performer on the pUn", and goes to further perfect herself in this delightful accomplishment. There has heen many more changes than Ik usual in the stores of our town. In most nil uf Ihem the force of clerks bas been reduced, fbe hard times and dull trade mage this state of attuiip. it is hard on the boys to be thrown out of work at any time, and more especially so al this season of the year, and a year like this one will probably be: "It'sa long lane without ii turn," and brighter and better times will soon come. Cheer up boys and tlnd something to do. Something that will pay expenses. If no more. Edward Baxter Perry, the celebrated blind pianist and lecturer, will be here uext Friday night.

We have heard Rome talk of a canning factory and Bteatn laundry being established Moon at this place. These two Industries if properly run and roannged ounht. to pay the Investor#, if not a handsome profit, a fair rate of Interest on their money. Thecannln* laclory would furnish employment fora number if hands during the season, and would give some of our farmers a chance to raise tomatoes and such other vegetables as would be required lor the factory, Instead of 5c. cotton, and the charge would most certainly be u profitable .one to them. The steam laundry would run the entire year, and give work to a lew wnse earners. We hope these enterprises will take definite shape, and be focts, not theories. Our town needs them and needs them badly. PATENT MEDICINE. As is always the case, last Monday there was an Immense crowd in town, and as a rule a very orderly one.
