Our town is again presenting a businesslike appearance. Our streets are daily lined with cotton wagons and our merchants are driving a heavy trade. Cotton is selling as high here as in Memphis, with freight added, and the planters are nearly all selling their cotton here instead of shipping to Memphis as heretofore. We heard of one sale, during the week, of eighty-five bales to one of our business firms.
