CONSERVATIVE & HOLLY SPRINGS BANNER
Submitted by Sylvia Akin



CONCERT. It will be borne in mind that this evening the celebrated Herr Schmidt, intends giving a Grand Concert in the Ball room over Messrs. Cato & Hicks'. His accomplishments as a concertist, are too well known to need any recommendation from us, --all the beauty and fashion of our town is expected will be there.

On Monday next, Herr Schmidt will give a Cotillion Party at Mr. Cato's saloon, when all the beauty and fashion will, we have no doubt assemble. We trust that many partners in cotillions will conclude to become partners for life, and that the usual fee in cases of matrimony, will crowd into our office during the season; "cake and wine" are not bad to take these hard times, and our mouth already begins to water in anticipation of such happy consummation.

MISSISSIPPI UNION BANK. It appears that the Directory have refused to comply with the requisitions of the "Bank Law," of the last Legislature. We will give the correspondence on the subject next week.
