SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1872.
She notice of Public Sole, in another
column.
Cotton soles weru brisk during the
post week.
Ridino “twp ways” for “one fare,”
on the Central Railroad, came to a
conclusion yesterday.
Tub adjourned May Term of the Su
perior Court was concluded on Wed
nesday last. The F all lerm ot the
same commences on Monday next.
Wk have in use, in our family, “the
steam washer,” or, “woman’s friend,”
and have no hesitancy in recommeuding
it. It accomplishes all that is claimed
for it.
Tub Editor of this paper, having
been afflicted by sickness and death in
his family, begs the indulgence of his
subscribers for the scarcity of reading
matter in this issue.
Preaching. —Dr. E. R. Carswell
will preach at the,Methodist church to
morrow morning, at 11 o’clock. The
Rev. Mr. Ocslky, pastor, will preach
at night, Providence permitting.
Law Fikm. —Attention is called to
the card of Cols. Ashton & Glisson.—
Both these gentlemen arc so well and
favorably known that anything like a
“puff,” from us, would be superflous.
Thanks. —Mr. Robert Farmkr, gen
erally called “friend Bob”—because die
is a general favorite, and well deserves
to be—has oar sincere thanks for his
recent presentation of a fine, first qual
ity pocket knife.
Col. John D. Ashton.—We notice
from our Savannah exchanges' of last
Tuesday, that Col. Ashton was, on the
day before, admitted to plead and prac
tice in the District and Circuit Courts
of the United States.
Mors Omnibus Communis. —Within
tlie past two weeks more deaths have
occurred in this county than we have
known before, in the same short period.
Mr. J. It. Boyd, an old resident, was
buried last Sunday.
Two son? of Mr. Robt. Herrington
have died; and we learn a third is not
expected to live.
Walter, eldest son of Dr. It. E. J.
Thompson, was buried at this place on
Monday last. The Doctor has lost two
sons (young men) within a mouth.
So nearly allied are we to grief that
our sympathy is mingled for all.
Last Week’s Cotton Figures. —The
Is. Y. Financial and Commercial Chronicle ,
of the 9th, states that the total receipts
for the seven days ending Friday night,
were 133,705 bales against 1:10,405
bales last week, 113,148 bales the pre
vious week, and 98,291 bales three
weeks since, making the total receipts
since the first of September, 780,812
bales against 505,195 bales for the same
period last year, showing an increase
this year of 215,617 bales.
The Chronicle's table of visible supply'
shows 1,866,407 agaiust 1,781,236 bates
last year, exhibiting au increase of cot
ton in sight as compared with the same
date last year amounting to 85,171
bales. The receipts of cotton at the
interior ports for the week were 40,837
against 35,059 bales the same week last
year—the shipments were 24952 against
28,272, and the stock was 59,272 against
60,776. The weather was generally rainy
and unfavorable. Planters are market
ing crops freely, but the unfavorable
weather and election excitement bad
interferred with picking. The New
York market during the week was dull
and weak in the face of heavy receipts,
unfavorable accouuts from Liverpool,
and decreased estimates of European
consumption. There was a net decline
of seven-sixteenths on spot cotton dur
ing the week.
If, says a Radical paper, at least four
years more of palace cars, cigars, and
seaside loitering is due General Grant
for his labors and privations during the
war, how much is duo the private sol
dier whose bodily sufferings just about
as much exceeded Grant’s as the pay of
the latter exceeded that of the former.

VII 7 E once more earnestly solicit the atteo
IT lion of our people to tliejenterprise fur
! th<s erection of a monument in liopor ol the
j Confederate Dead of Georgia and others who
were killed or died on Georgia soil. The lime
for the distribution is rapidly approaching.
It will take place in this city on Hie 4th of
December next, Deo Volente. There will
positively be m> postponement. All sales
will stop"on the 2<Hh of November. The
fate of this effort will he decided then. Our
people will exhibit their gratitude for the
I bloody sacrifices of their brave defenders,
! or exhibit to the world their cold indifler
(h'ce. They will exhibit their pride or its
loss; their appreciation of those who fell in
service, or a disregard of the noblest sacri
fice which man can make for bin own land,
bis people and their homes.
We yet believe tlie spirits of the dead still
haunt the land they loved and for which
they died. We yet believe that those who
live in these haunts of love will tubslantially-.
prove their devotion to the dead “Soldiers
in Gray." Hundreds, yea thousands upon
thousands, will wish to become shareholders
In the tribute terfheir fame between now and
the 20th of November. We most respect
fully request then, to reflect. Those thous
ands of names thrown upon us al the last
moment may so overwhelm us as to make it
impossible to prepare all of their certificates,
record their names, mail them and prepare
the numbers for the drawing on the 4th of
December. Hence much money may lie
tie< essarily returned, to the detriment of the
cause and their di-appointment in the
clianc'fs at the distribution of the prises.
Let tnoso, then, who liave the means aid
intend to contribute do so at once. If some
are not ready and must wait, let their con
tributions come as soon as they are able to
maks ihem to the Agents in their locality,
or to this oflicc.
Have no fears of trickery, or fraud, or
speculation. Whatever may liave happened
in other schemes or sections, we have an or
ganized Association, consisting of some of
our best citizens. An expose will be made
of all that has been and will be done in con
nection with this eoteiprise. All will be
fair and lionoiable.
If all the tickets shall be sold, the amount
to be distributed will be in currency, one
huudred aud thirty-one thousand dollars;
in ieal estate, ninety-nine thousand dollars;
in cotton, twenty thousand dollars, making
a grand total of two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars.
If all the tickets are not sold the amount
ieceived(after deducting the portion allotted
to the Monument, the commissions of the
Agents, arid the sum required to defray the
necessary expeoses), will bo distributed
among the shareholders. The precedence
in this latter case will be given—Ist, to the
1,744 prizes in currency; 2d, to the real
estate; 3d, to the cotton.
We are pleased to state that expenses
have been much diminished by the liberality
of a por'iou of the newspapers, and the
boundless assistance rendered us free of
charge by the Southern Express C> mpar.y
of this city.
Should any who have made, or may make,
voluntary donations to any amount, desire
to exchange their special tickets for others
which furnish chances in the drawing, we
or our Agents, in this or other States, w ill
cheerfully comply with their wishes.
All orders promptly attended to.
