branches Of manufacture based on chem

Of hydrochlofic acil, OF chlorine and OF
bleaching powder, Of giaubcr salt, soda,

For the making Of soap and class, salt is
indispensable. Besides this, it serves in
tanning, the glazing Of pottery walr, in
extracting silver and copper from their

In fact we are reminded everywhere
and every day of the usefulness of salt.

Batesville arrived from the upper White
river with 479 bales of cotton and large
miscellaneous list, which loaded her
down nearly to the guards. The cotton
was piled as high as her hurricane roof,
and on her guards some of the bales
were dashed to the cabin floor railing.
