As is prop er, special attention is being given to the erection of cotton factories. Cotton is the great product of this State, and if its growth and manufacture receives proper attention it will prove a source of almost boundless wealth to our people. We may now hope to see the day when our staple will !>** manufactured into fabrics in the very land where It is grown, and no long er sent over thousands of miles of railway to come back for our use*, made costly by freight monopolies and outrageous prof its. Atlanta is fully awake on the subject, and a cotton factory with a strong capital is certain to lie built in thatdty very soon. The factories at Augusta have done won derful things in the past two years. Their dividends are so large and thoir stock so good, that many capitalists would be glad to be interested in their success. We be lieve another large factory i# soon to be built In that city. Columbus, iu the quantity and variety of her manufacture, is undoubtedly lead ing the Stab 1 . Our factories are an honor to the city, and there can lie no telling how much they contribute to its prosperity. We hope that the proposition to build another large factory here may meet with all success. There is no reason why Geor gia should not have as many cotton facto rics as any of her sister States; there is no roasou why Columbus may not maintain her present position, and always Ik* the manufacturing city of our State. Wo believe that when the capital of our people Je invested in projects of this kind, and when wo receive a reasonable amount of aid from foreign capital, our pristine prosperity will on**** more begin b> return.

The. billies tended and cared for the sick soldiers, and when some died and were bu ried, in the cemetery, they determined to keep the graves in as good order as possi- Wo,Hiid have a cenotaph upon which to enroll the names of the dead, until a monument could be ereetod. When a committee of young men were requested to collect from citizens, several gentlemen sent the ladies word that they did not like anything of wood, which would last only a short time, but would subscribe large amounts for a marble monument. The H< >- ciety determined b> keep that in view, col lecting whenever possible, and putting it all out at interest, except actual expen ses for each annual decoration day, (which had lx*>n proposed by Mrs. Charles J.

Mr. Editor: Homebody, signing himself “Marshall," turns up his pious nose, through your columns, In holy horror at the Idea of incorporating lower Girard with Browncvillc as one town, to lie called Marshall. Such an association, in his eyes, would be horrible. If we of lower Girard could stand tlio affiliation, the writer and his friends might lenr it. J don't think that the people of either village are anx ious for incorporation, but if they are, I think both sides of the creek should be included; as, with aIJ the widely stuttered population, it would be onerous to support much of a municipal corporation. The corporation ought also to include a small portion of Lee county, as many of the liest citizens of Marshall or Brownovflle live beyond the Western Railroad. But the writer went out of hi* way to say that Girard wanted ineorjKiration iu order to force Marshall to assist in build -1 ing a crock bridge; and further, to ven -1 tur© the assertion that said bridge is not |in I*l led. The citizens of Girard beg leave ' to differ with the gentleman. Wo want the bridge, arid want it badly, and hope the Commissioners’ Court, of Russell will pro ceed at once to have it rebuilt. If the county is too poor to rebuild it, let a special tax lie levied for that and other bridges in the county, which are so badly needed. All good citizens should lx* wil ling to lx* taxed to keep up county bridges. It is untrue that a gixxl foundation cannot be obtained at the old site; nor is the creek more hazardous than others in the county. The lost bridge fell because its principal ; pier was in the sand, and was 11 jxxr affair . any way. The one before that, fell byj criminal neglect of the county. Already property in the vicinity lias depreciated far morethau would be required to build ; another bridge. lAit us have one cori>oratlon, or no *x.>r poratlon. Girard. Vev Hi-iiiC"i! New *••*!!!

Dr. Benton is a gentleman and skillful physician in his peculiar line having devoted much of his Lime to the nature and treatment of chronic diseases, esfx*clttlly cancer, in its multiform phases. "I s|xuk that Ido know.” Although my self an humble follower of the noble art of healing, and it may be (as I am human) a little jealous of those who havo “knocked j into thin air” my youthful aspirations for i Ixjooming the monarch of medicine, yet ! ; sheer justice to Dr. Benton, and, Mr. Ed-: ; itor, a firm conviction that I can thus do 1 1 greater service to the unfortunate sons 1 , find daughters of affliction than by any ! ! other means in my power, constrains in** I to come forward in this public manner and say that I have for several years watched Dr. Benton’s mode of treatment, and have Ixjen most wonderfully aston- IshtM'l at his success in every case of can cer a disease which my medical authors and teachers, from Hypocrates down, iiav3 taught me as incurable. If the 1 amount of gocxl he has accomplished if ! th* wearing, agonizing anxiety he has re lieved; if tii<* tears wrung by pain from j the heart of affliction he has dried, or | rather changed from bitter, scalding, 1 heart-withering agents, to gentle drops of jov, gratitude and hope—oould be com- j puted, a monument high as Heaven and durable as the handiwork of God, would rise to ids name spontaneously from the hearts of those who have boon beiieiitted by ids works.
