The R. D. Cole Manufacturing Com
pany have been so rushed with orders
this fall that it has been necessary
for several weeks past to run their
foundry and machine shops half the
night. They have sold countless num
bers of engines, grist-mills, saw-mills
and ginning outfits, in addition to a va
riety of other work. If their business
continues to increase, (and this is no
longer a matter of speculation,) they
will be forced to extend their facilities
by next season.

and swelling of feet, legs and stomach.
His face was bloated and puffed, and of

had no regular appetite and too
weak to work; not having worked six
months, all told,-in 9years. IhsMltned
6 or 7 doctors and spent about $300 to
cure him, without any lasting benefit.
I offered one doctor $150 to cure him,
but he refused the case. I heard and
read so much about your Nunn better

people. Yours respectfully,

to be shipped at once by express. We

received announcing the death of Rev.
F. M. T. Brannon, which occurred to

health. The sad event has produced a
feeling of profound sorrow in this com
munity, where he was well-known and

place at Grantville to-morrow (Satur
day) morning at 10 o’clock. The remains
will go down on the “cannon ball,” at

ture for the passage of a special act to
prohibit the manufacture of spirituous,
vinous or other intoxicating liquors in
the 746th District, G. M., of Coweta
county. It is doubtful, however, if he
will have time after the expiration of
thirty days from date for the passage
of his bill, unless the Legislature con
tinues in session longer than the peo
ple have been led to believe that it
will. The notice appears elsewhere.

A Profitable Industry.
We have been reliably informed that
the Griffin cotton factory, at the close
of business August 1st, showed a net
profit on the capital stock of the com

so much gratified at the success which
has attended their enterprise that they
have now in contemplation the erection
of another factory' of equal capacity'
and dimensions, and we understand
that the work will be soon commenced.
Newnan is missing a great deal by not
having a cotton factory.
