IN winch women and children alone were
supposed to sleep, but in whice there were several
men, the process Of undressing could not be
gone through by women having the slightest title
TO modesty, and the result that they took their
nights rest dressed. l believe there were some
women VINO were not at all inclined to sacrifice
their comfort ON account OF the close proximity Of
the male representatives OF the human race and
VINO did divest themselves OF their daily apparel.

POTTER's CLAY,

PoTTER's CLAY.
All crooks and jars used 10 this and
sdj joining counties are made in Illinois,
about forty miles from Quincy, and are
hauled in wagons about one hundred and
twenty miles to get to Troy from the
mandatory. The material is easily
broken, and must be we'll packed; and
the driver of the wagon must be careful
and not drive too fast over rough places,
or oil Of his wares will be broken in pieces
in his long journey. Other towns, at a
much greater distance from the manufac
tory than is Troy, are receiving their
stone ware from it. Tho wagons which
bring the ware 120 miles return without
any load, making the distance of 240
miles that must be travelled for every load
of stone ware that is disposed of at this
town. The expense of taking this ware
such long distances is very heavy and
as crooks and jars are a necessity in every
household, ovsry family must pay part
Of the cost of bringing these articles
from Illinois, in addition to the actual
cost or price of the wares at the manu-,
factory.
This matter can easily be remeLicd,
and tho cost of stono ware very much
reduced by getting Potters to come to
our county aud re establish the manu-
featuring of stone ware.
About seven years ago a small estab.
lshment for making crooks and jars was
put in operation ct point eight miles
from Troy. The workman pronounced
the clay to te of the very best quality,
and wares made at this place are yet used
by some of our citizens. The proprietor
of the works left the county, and the
manufacture of stone ware ceased. This
and adjoining counties were then com
PEELED to get their ware from Illinois.
No better opening for mandatory
of stone ware can be found than the site
Of the old one. The territory which
would be supplied therefrom is large and
populous, and increasing in population
and wealth rapidly.
We want some active, energetic men,
who understand this business, to come
here and engage in it. If their profits on
their wares only equal the cost of bring
ing it from Illinois here, and to other
more distant points supplied by Illinois,
then is their financial success assured.
Lands in the section where the Potters
Clay is obtained can be purchased at low
prices. Improved farms with dwellings,,
stable and orchards are held at Sl2 to
S25 per acre, and unimproved lands at
81 to $40 per acre. The railroad is
within three miles, and as soon as the
road shall be completed, this land cannot
be bought for less than double its present
price.
The people Of this county are anxious
to have manufactures of various kinds
established among them, and will warmly
encourage and assist those who will en-.
gage in enterprises of this kind, which
benefit tho community as we'll as those
directly engaged in them.
