The GAINESVILLE CAroujcle under the
caption of dead heads" says railroads
occasionally complain of dead heading,
but no institution suffer 80 much from it
as the Press. A sensible writer says:
"The Press endures the affection Of
dead headisn from the pulpit, the bar
and the stage from corporations, society
and individuals. 1t is expected to yield
its interests; it is required to give
strength to the weak, eyes to the blind,
clothes to the naked, aud bread to the
hungry; it is asked to cover infrmities,
hide weakness and wink at quacks, boil
ster up dull authors and hatter the vain I;
it is, IN short, to be all things to all men,
and if it looks for pay or reward it is de-
nounced as mean and sordid. There IS
no interest under the whole heavens that
is expected to give so much to society
without thanks or pay as the Press"

a writer of aJility-one who has had
a great amount of experience, and knows
whereof he speaks, says that the cost Of
a complete cotton factory, with capae-
ity Of two thousand yards of A stand
ard sheeting, is $4,000; add to this $4,000
capital. The total weekly cost of run
ming such an establishment is Sl,234 !;
total receipts, $500, leaving profit Of
1866 per week, or sI3, 800 per year which
is thirty per cent on the Investment. If
this be so, and we dare not doubt the
statement why it is that BOLIVIA cannot
have a cotton factory We hope to see
some Of our wealthy men engaged in
the enterprise at no distant day.

Deaths.

At the residence of her husband on Muddy
Creek, Rockingham county, on Wednesday,
February 18th, 1872, after protracted illness,
Mrs. VIRGINIA S. MILLER wife of John Wes-
ley Miller, in the 33rd year of her age. She
was most estimable woman, devoted chris
tian, and was beloved by all who knew her.
Died near Greenville, Washington county,
Mississippi, on the 10Th day of February, Shell
TON j. HENDERSON, in the end year of his age.
He was born and raised near Staunton, and will
be remembered by the older inhabitants. He
left Virginia in 1885, and cast his lot in the Mis-
sissippi bottom, where he was engaged in
cotton planting to the time of his death he
leaves a large connection in this county, Bath
and Highland.
The writer speaks what he knows, as he was
with him for some years in his adopted home.
when he says that he was one of the best men
that this county has produced. He left the coun-
try in adverse circumstances, but by industry,
perseverance. and integrity in his new home. he
was prosperous and accumulated a handsome
property but this is not all: he had the conf
dence of the people, among whom he lived, and
here and in his adopted home I never knew
an applicant for favor to go away empty. The
"Golden Rule" emphatically governed his con-
duct and he has closed useful arduOus life,
having made homes happy by his kind and con-
siderate acts and long will he be remembered for
them. How pleasant this world could be made
if we all would follow the example of this good
man. He has faithfully served his day and gen.
Grafton, and we verify believe that he shall have
his reward.

touched by the magic wand of his genius.
1t is not our purpose at this time to give an
extended notice of this work, and we do not feel
it necessary to do so, as we are convinced that
our readers will prefer to get it and read it for
themselves.
