SALE OF THE TAYLOR MANUFACTURING Co $.
WoREs.-The sale of The Taylor Manufac'
turing Company's Works is announced to
take 1lace on the premises on Thursday next,
the 10Th inst, and the result is eagerly and
anxiously awaited by the citizens of this city
and section. Since its closing, about two
months ago, business has been getting dailer
and dulley. until its loss to this community /:
seriously felt. The Company and its EN-,
nloyees circulated weekly about 81 200, and
the withdrawal of that amount from ouI
weekly transactions has caused considerable
falling off of sales with our tradesmep gen
erally. The general hope is, that the works
will fall into the hands Of capitalists with am,
ple means to operate it successfully, and thai
operations will be speedily resumed.
