AT the time the project was mooted, we
understood that nearly the requisite a.
mount Of capital had been promised Tor
the purpose of putting into operation
a Woolleu Factory, At that lime' all
that was necessary was the action OF a
few individuals to give tho enterprise ii
beginning. Whether the aspect at al
fairs has changed since then we know
not; but we are of tho opinion that it
would be no difficult matter to carry the
project into operation now. The com
bined action Of few of our citizens ac-
quainted with such matters, is oil that is
required 10 test tho sense of the people
of our town aud vicinity. Looking Ia
the result Of such an enterprise, i: is well
worthy Of consideration and we believe
Of trial. II successful as it can hardly
fail to be if properly managed, it will
lead to others, and the general result will
not fail to infusc a spirit of progress a.
mong our citizens. Who among oul
capitalists will take the lead in The mat.
teri If as we suppose, the same spirit
of liberality will he manifested it will
require but little cxellion TO make he
