Description

Newspaper items (Dec 1 and Dec 4, 1869) state the People's Bank (People's Bank of South Carolina) 'having resumed business' and is 'prepared to redeem its outstanding bills.' The articles announce a reopening; they do not describe a prior run or the cause/date of the suspension. I infer a prior suspension but its cause is not given in these clippings, so classified as suspension_reopening.

CRUMBS. . The Old Postoflice at the foot of Broad street has been ornamented with a huge poster stand, and Ford's Comedy Company is announced in Brobdignagian capitals. The whale was demolished on Monday night, but the lucky fishermen did not strike as much "ite" as they had anticipated. Nature wore a smiling face yesterday, and King street was crowded with the fair. The great topic of talk, of course, was the Academy of Music and the opening night. Everybody seems to begoing. The white blacksmiths, boilermakers, coppersmiths, tinners and painters will meet this evening at the hall of the Washington Fire Company. Large quantities of game are now arriving in the city, and wild ducks and wild turkeys are constantly offered for sale in the markets and on the streets. The wagon trade has increased considerably in the last few days, and numbers of the uncouth and lumbering, but very welcome, vehicles may beseen along the Bay and near the wagon-yards. The Neck, of course, has profited largely by the trade thus brought to the city. John Robinson's "big show" exhibits in Columbia on Friday and Saturday of the present week. The Gazette newspaper of this city has suspended publication, and is succeeded by the Southern Cell, which, we presume, will be a paper of more pronounced Penian sympathies than the Gazette. The People's Bank announces this morning that, having resumed business, it is prepared to redeem its outstanding bills at par.

CRUMBS.-The Old Postoffice at the foot of Broad street has been ornamented with a huge poster stand, and Ford's Comedy Company is announced in Brobdignagian capitals. The whale was demolished on Monday night, but the lucky fishermen did not strike as much "ile" as they had anticipated. Nature wore a smiling face yesterday, and King street was crowded with the fair. The great topic of talk, of course, was the Academy of Music and the opening night. Everybody seems to be going. The white blacksmiths, boilermakers, coppersmiths, tinners and painters will meet this evening at the hall of the Washington Fire Company. Large quantities of game are now arriving in the city, and wild ducks and wild turkeys are constantly offered for sale in the markets and on the streets. The wagon trade has increased considerably in the last few days, and numbers of the uncouth and lumbering, but very welcome, vehicles may beseen along the Bay and near the wagon-yards. The Neck, of course, has profited largely by the trade thus brought to the city. John Robinson's "big show" exhibits in Columbia on Friday and Saturday of the present week. The Gazette newspaper of this city has suspended publication, and is succeeded by the Southern Celt, which, we presume, will be a paper of more pronounced Fenian sympathies than the Gazette. The People's Bank announces this morning that, having resumed business, it is prepared to redeem its outstanding bills at par.
