and hence the small farmers and gardeners
there, have markets right at their doors
for everything they or the thousand of
factory-hands need in the way of food.
This constantly growing demand always
keeps food up at good prices, and the
producer is never distressed, as with us,
for want of purchaser for his beef, NUT
ton, pigs, fowls, milk, butter or vegeta-
bles. Everything raised out of the
ground has even a more ready sale than
the fabrics of the factories; and thus the
trade among small dealers never Ian
guishes, even though the mill-owners
may sometimes find it dull. One kind
of goods produces demand for another
and different line. Masons, and carpen-
ters, and painters sre employed in
erecting new buildings for new machinery
to be furnished by the iron men, and the
packing of goods creates a demand for
boxes, lumber, nails, and additional
workmen. So of the oil and waste about
machinery, all requiring men, and women,
and children, and material, and food,
and clothing. the wide-awake Yankees
have not invested all these millions in
manufactures, foundries, machinery, ETC.,
without feeling certain of good interest
on their capital for this investment has
been steadily increasing instead of dimin-
ishing. VIII not like investments here
produce like results?
The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1877-07-12

The above table suggests several ques-
tions: First-Why the cold and COM
paratively unproductive states of Mas
sachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode
Island are so much more populous than
the three states of Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi, with rich soil and gen.
ial climate, where everything supporting
life grows in vast abundance Why is
it that rocky, bleak Massachusetts,, with
but One-eight the area, has nearly ten
times as many people to the square mile
as delightful, fertile Georgia-bOth of the
cold Thirteen 2" Why is it that cold,
stormy, sterile Rhode Island, with her
five counties, has nearly ten times as
many people to the square mile as fertile
Mississippi? Again, why is it that the
three New England atates, with all their
disadvantages of soil and climate, have
from four to eight times more wealth,
per head, than the named southern
states, with all their superior
advantages of soil and climate
1t cannot be on account of any pecu-
iarity in the two people of the two
sections. The south has always equaled
the north in statesman, jurists, orators,
generals. The answer to the foregoing
question, is found in the following tables,
two, three, four and FIVE. They speak
for themselves, and show what people
can do when resovled to do:

Manufacturing Prosperity Of Columbus,
Georgia.

There are now in operation at Column
bus eight cotton mills, one wooden and
one bagging factory, four Touring and
grist establishments, two foundries, a
pIow mandatory, steam engine and
boiler works, and a number of minor
industries, among which may be counted
steamboat building. The amount in
vested in manufacturing far exceeds that
of any town in the south and is increas-
ing year by year. The cotton and wooden
mills now run $4,000 spindles and 200
looms, and in four months the showing
viii be $4,000 spindles and 1000 looms.
A competent manufacturer is now en-
gagged in making drawings and estimates
for a new mill of $4,000 spindles, to be
constructed by a northern company.
This will increase the spindles at Column
bus to 81, 600 The $1,000 spindles con-
sumo $4,000 bales of cotton a year and the
looms 300, ,OO9 pounds of wool. The largest
factory, the Eagle and Phenix, has a
capital stock of 81, ,25O, 900, aud from the
earnings Of last year declared dividend
Of eight per cent, and all declared come
dividends.

Is of white silk, lined with crimson silk,
and decorated with blue ribbons.
The banner did not come Immediately
into general use, for in the middle of
October, 1776, Capt Richards is found
asking the Philadelphia council what
cOlOrs should be used by the fleet 1t
was probably flown at Trenton, for Peale's
picture shows it, and the artist COM
manded a company IN that battle. It
was displayed at the first fourth of July
celebration in Philadelphia, 1777, and in
the February of the following wear it
was first saluted by a foreign power
Paul Jones, in the Ranger, conveying
some vessels into Quiberon and obtaining
a salute from the French admiral. Four
years later he hoisted it over the first
American ship of the line, the America,
August 2, 1777, the first land victory
was won under the Stars and Stripes on
the occasion of the British attack on
Fort Schuyler, the flag being an extern
pOrized one, made from the garrisOn's
shirts and from a blue cloak taken at
Peekskill. The homemade banner was
hOisted over five English cOlOrs captured
In sally. In January, 1871, Rathburne,
in Providence, with fifty men, swooped
on Nassau, n. P, took the fort, spiked
its guns and hoisted the American flag
for the first time over foreign fortress.
Five vessels disputed the homer of first
giving it to the winds in London. In
1892 the Columbia, Capt. Gray, of
Boston, carried it for the first time around
the world, and planted it on the Pacific
coast, at the mouth of the great river to
which he gave the name Of his vessel. The
Franklin, a Salem vessel, first displayed
it in Japanese waters in 1893. In 1894
congress added two stars and two stripes
to the flag (the change taking effect in
May, 1895 for Vermont and Kentucky,
the act being passed only after consider
able debate, its opponents believing that
the flag should be preserved in its Origi-
nal form in perpetUity. The war of
1S12-14 was fought under this banner.
In 1913, bill reducing the stripes to
the original number of thirteen, and
directing the adoption of stars equal to
the number of the states, a new star to be
added on the fourth of July next sue
ceeding the admission of each new state,
was passed and approved. This was the
design of Captain Samuel G. Reid, who
in 1914 defended so heroically the brig
General Armstrong against a superior
British force in Fayal roads, though his
suggestion that the stars be arranged in
one large star was not formally adopted.
The stars in the unions of flags used by
the war department are generally thus
arranged: in the navy flags they are in
variably set in parallel lines. The blue
union used separately is the union jack.
The revenue flag, adopted in 1899, has
sixteen perpendicular stripes, alternately
red and white, with a white union bear
ing the national arms in dark blue. The
union used separately is the revenue
jack. The yacht flag is the same as the
national flag, but on the blue union it
bears white foul-anchor in a circle of
thirteen states.

heasUreless spread, like a table dread,
For the wild grim dice of the iron game,
Looks are bent on the shaking ground,
Hearts beat low with kneliing sound
Swift by the breast that must bear the brunt,
GalioPs the Major along the front.
" Haiti"
And tettered they stand at the stark command,
And the warriors silent, halt.
Proud is the blush of morning glowing,
" hat on the hilltop shines in flowing?
''See you the fOeman's banner Waving2
We see the foeman's banner wavingl"
"God be with your children and wife !"
Hark to the musC-the drum and fife
How they ring through the ranks, which they rouse
TO the strile2
Thrilling the sound, with their glorious tone,
Thrilling they go through the marrow and bOnel
Brothers, God grant, when this life is Ger,
In the life to come that may meet once more
See the smoke how the ightning cleaving asunderl
Hark the guns, peal on peal how they boom in their
thunder,
From host to host with kindIing sound,
The shouted signal circles round;
FTeeT already breathes the breath
The war is raging, slaughter waginR,
And heavy through the reeking pail
The iron death dice fall!
Victory!
Close is the brunt of the glorious tight;
And the day, like cODquerOr bursts on the night
Trumpet and fife swelling eheral along
The triumph already sweeps marching in song.
There's another, in which we shall meet you once
