We direct the attention OF merchants In
this county to the advertisement, in this
issue of the journal. of Bolivar II. Cooke

the South ever expect to become in any
degree Independent, they must encourage
our own manufactures. We know the
members of this ARMAND one Of them.
Mr.. White, is well known in this county
and we can vouch for them rs honest, fair
dealing business men. They purchase
none but the very best goods out of which
to manufacture their immense stock of
Clothing. Hence their customers can re-
ly upon getting the very best articles, and
at prices as low as you can buy ut in the
Eastern markets. If you 60 to the Fast

chance to have n lot of goods put Off on
you that are made out of old clothing
ground, carded and spun over. Then buy
from this Southern factory, of men who

A Worthy Association.

Gouverneur Kemble, who died on the
sixteenth of September, at Cold Spring,
N. Y, was one of a class of men who in
this country are quite rare. To fine
abilities and culture he added inventive
faculties and business capacity of high
order, His house was for over half q
century proverbial for it's hospitality,
and his guests were among the foremost
in the country in social, political, liter
ary, and professional position. He was
one OF the seven surviving nominees of
the Tontine association. The share on
his life was purchased by his father at
