pie in it who do not give such subjects their
special attention, have no idea of the multi
plicity and variety of trades, manufactures
or lines of business into which mans interests
or necessities lead him. How many persons,

proprietors, Messrs. Russell and Brown, and
find that these gum drops are a new depar-
ture. In North and South Carolina may be

Germ, was enabled to perfect q gum drop

ious to health. OF their factory we need not
speak; it contains every facility for doing
good work, every appliance for the rapid full
filment of all orders with the utmost neatness
and despatch; and we congratulate the peo-
pie of Augusta that we have so enterprising
