Our citizens are much alarmed over the awful condition of our public highways leading out to; different points from here. : Some report that our supervi- j sor is deceased, while others ! say it is an abnormal condition 1 of the energy of our road over- | seers. No matter what the1 cause, we hope to have the rem- j edv applied at once.

We have here eight cotton seed buyers, all anxious to do business. This has always been one of the best seed markets in the county and the boys say 6he will exceed herself this season.

The first bale of cotton sold here will probably sell for something- like 15 cents, while we think seed will open at seventeen or eighteen dollars per ton. It appears that our town has been watching and waiting for several years, and the time has now come when this monotony is broken.
