They enter almost every dwelling, and, while imparting the, latest intelligence, foreign and domestic local and State,' they sileutly, yet forcibly, solicit patronage for each advertiser.

The whole south west seems destined to the same suffering as last year. Away from the section the situation cannot be realized, but we can judge something of its horror by the fact that Memphis was practically depopulated in a few hours after the fever appeared there early in this month The Government is acting promptly, as it slibfild, and as only a Government can act, in supplying tents and provisions to the sick and lo those who have fled irom tbe city to the fields.

Delegates- will-be. present • from’all parts of the country, and representative, financial and business men Irotn abroad.

CUMM.USWAI.hD Editor News.—Posting a few days in your town, and, taking a look around noting the many building and improyerneuts that are going on in all parts of town, shows more enterprise, and appears in a more prosperous condition titan any town of its size that 1 have stuped at Your school building is an honor to your place, and your citizens should feel proud of sueli a structure, rs. it will compare favorably with many other towns much , older. 1 notice, however, that the pchool gionuds have m t been enclosed, and the rubbish aud stone are left on the ground. Thqy should all he removed and the ' yurrl cleaned up, as it detracts much the beauty of the building in its piesout condition. And, by extending the side-walk to it from town, and eoclof- ‘ ing the school grounds with a neat itmee, and filling it up with shade trees, would give your town the neatest and most desirable school-building and grounds in the county. The raercan tile business of Nappanec is well rep resmted in the different branches ot a erchandise. Your saw aud' pinning mills, and box factory are all seemingly doing a good business by the number of meu they have in their employment. There is one business enterprise lacking, and you should have it by all means, and why the location has not been occupied before this by a good grist mill, I cannot understand, as it is ocrtainly the best place for one that I have any knowledge of in the country.
