TO OUR PATRONS. We are under many obligations to those of our patrons who have so gen great <ical of money. j “As a rule, the man who has 1 first-class security can always get money, when it is to be had, at the pre vailing rate of interest. Those who haven’t good security must pay interest in proportion to the risk that is ta ken.” Gbenny & Violett, of New Orleans, , , in reporting the condition of the cotton erously and promptly come forward °. T , . . . J 1 ‘ market on Wednesday last, says: “The during the past month or so and set- j t; 4 ki n gs here were 13,500 bales and £c tied their subscription dues, and we ; advance was paid in a number of cases, take this method of returning thanks The large business to-day leaves no for the same. There are a great many, ! doubt t)liat spinners are beginning to however, who are yet in arrears, and though the amounts are generally small, in the aggregate the sums thus flue would foot up considerably over $2,000. We have done our best to fur nish a good paper—a paper w'orth all, ;ind even more, than the price of sub scription—and it is nothing but right that we receive promptly what is due us. Please observe the printed date <m the margin of your paper, and if you are in arrears be good enough to call and settle, or remit by mail. We have about seventeen hundred names on our list, and it would be a physical impossibility to get around and see all of our patrons personally. This is not intended as a dun, but a simple business statement, and will be so regarded by our friends we feel as sured. We need the money. realize the siiuation and show signs of uneasiness at the outlook. A prorni nent New York house wires us that cotton asserts itself and bears are not worth considering. A glance at the closing to-night shows that the loss caused by Bradstreet’s report has been fully recovered and in the face of per sistent attacks by the bears, backed up by a rush of receipts sufficiently heavy to keep the world in a state of wonder at their volume. To-day the market looks in a stronger position than before the drop, and with the daily decreasing movement bids fair to advance rapidly.” The Cotton Factory. Owing to the short time allowed the committee in which to canvass for sub scription and report, it was decided to postpone the cotton factory meeting appointed for Wednesday afternoon last until NEXT WEDNESDAY AF TER NOON, AT 2 OC’LOCK, at which time the various committeemen are requested to make their reports. The meeting will be held in the Court house. About, $10,000 has been secured since our last publshed report, and by Wed nesday next it is expected that the grand total will reach $00,000 or $65,000. Temporary organization will be ef fected next Wednesday, also, by the election of officers. A full attendance of our citizens, both city and country, is desired. Troubles of Loan Companies. The foreign loan companies which have been loaning money in the Southern and Western States at a high rate of interest for several years past, seem to be meeting with some trouble in get- ting their money back. The Savannah yen-s has been outspoken in its opposi tion to this foreign loan system from the tirsf, and never lets ah opportunity pass when it can put in a word to dis courage these operations, particularly in the. South. Commenting upon the troubles experienced by some of v t hese companies recently in prosecuting their claims in the Courts of the coun try, the News says: “They ought to have known that farmers cannot pay the exorbitant rate's of interest which they demand. A man who is in great need of money will agree to pay almost any rate of interest, and will give a mortgage on his land to secure the payment of prin cipal and interest. He will alsa sub nit to almost any conditions which the money lender may ask, hoping that by some means lie will be able to meet his obligations when they become due. In most cases, however, lie hasn't the money to pay either the mortgage or the interest on it when pay-day arrives, lie must, therefore, involve himself -.till further in debt or lose his land. Mr. Carlisle is in favor of reducing the surplus by abolishing the tariff du ty on certain articles of necessity and reducing it on others. In this position he is supported by the Democratic par ty. Mr. Randall is also in favor of re ducing the surplus, but lie would ac complish this by abolishing the tax on tobacco and whiskey, allowing the tar iff on sugar, rice and other necessaries to remain as now fixed. In this anom alous attitude he is sustained neither by public sentiment nor by the party which he assumes to represent. Argument in the Woolfolk trial was concluded yesterday and the case given to the jury. After remaining out twelve minutes the jury returned a ver dict of guilty. Judge Gustin has fixed Friday, Febuary 10th, as the day of ex ecution. Woolfolk’s counsel will carry the cjvsc to the Supreme Court. Judge James S. IIook, of Richmond county, has been appointed State School Commissioner to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. G. J. Orr. who died last Sunday. [ Com m u n icatcd. J A Tear to the Memory of Departed Friends. “The year is passing, too, away; The hours are closing fast.” Another cycle will soon roll its pon- drous wheels, with all its weight of hu man thoughts aud deeds, into the unending ages of eternity ! What a record ! Failure and success, weal and woe ! Fraud, ignominy, blasphemy, anarchv, poverty, endurance ! What an array ! Well has the sage declared— “The world, in the eye of the philoso pher, is a mad house." But leaving out the remarkable demises, the execution of law's severest demands, the success of fraudulent and unprincipled corporations, and politi cal strifes, our own little cosmos has had more than mere “ripples” to con tort fair archives, or corrugate the even tenor of our way. As I recall the faces of mv daily companions, the loved pu pils of my charge, one is missing from the band that numbered two score. The blue eyes will ne'er again till with tears, nor the fair young girl so shyly hand, me a bouquet of wild-flowers; for Susie Gresham passed away with the blue spring violets she loved so well, fit semblance of her modest look and mien. We placed a knot of these, true and loveliest beauties of the glad spring-time beside her pale young brow, the tribute of her classmates and teachers, and beneath the roses and daisies she sleeps well. * But, from anear and afar my friends have been “gathering home." From the East and the West has come the tiding of many who are now “resting beneath the shade of the trees." Among that goodly number, with a sob and a moan of deep pain 1 learned the sud den death of a friend of “long syne”— Mrs. W. (J. Snead. A similar provi dence o’ershadowed us both. Of like profession, (she choosing the higher one. Music, the only science contin- But faithful, and foremost, she rallied, E’en at the brink of the tomb. Scatter the fairest of flowers. Strains of sweet music repeat; All that is beaming or lovely, Trophies we lay at her feet. Cover the sod with pure emblems. Hor smile will ne'er greet us again; Leave her with God and t he angels.
