ANEW END

Georgia has new marble quarry
ing company. The Canton Advance,
in Cherokee county, learns through
Colonel Teasey that company has
been organized to open up and quar-
ry marble from OF the Nelson place
in that county, between Ball Ground
and Tate's, on the railroad. The
company is said to be backed with
any amount of money necessary, and
intend going to work at once, if they
have not already begun The Speci-
mems OF marble taken from this prop
erty IT is SAID, very tayorably com
pare with that taken from the GeOr-
gia Marble Companys quarries, q
few miles above, and is supposed to
be on the same lead. 1t is not known
who the company is composed Of, but
1t is understood that Col. 5. c. Tate
and MIR. j. A. Dewar have an inter
est. which if true. assures the success
of the works.

AN IMPORTANT TRUTH.

Sometimes the confusion of sim
minded person is ludicrous, and
yet it seems ungracious to laugh He
will say that it costs more to make
cotton than it is worth in the mar
kets, but he is obliged to make it in
order to get money wherewith to pay
the debt he was obliged to contract
in order to make the cotton, Advise
him to buy as much cotton as he
must have, especially as it is clearly
cheaper to buy than to produce, and
at once he is overwhelmed with con-
fusion. He cannot understand at all
that the capital he borrowed really
bought the cotton ut a loss. Why
could he not incur the same obliga-
ton and make other crops as well as
cotton! Other crops are dearer to
buy than to make, and cotton is dear
er to make than TO buy. Therefore
he makes cotton at loss to buy 9TH
er crops at loss. But he cnglg yes
TO deliver so many bales of cotton in
consideration Of the credit he secures.
Well, he ought certainly to discharge
his obligations faithfully, but it
would be cheaper to pay commissions
than to deliver cotton with loss in
it. The factor would be satisfied.

MANUFACTURING SMALL ARTICLES.

1t is the opinion Of the Marietta
ia, journal that "when Southern
people talk about factories they get
big notions into their heads. The
Yankee makes fortune on the
manufacturing of tooth picks, pins,
fsh-hooks, lead pencils, brooms,
buckets, ink-stands aud other small
articles. The South should try some
of these small industries as well as
the great ones like cotton factories,
iron works, wagon shops, etc
This reminds us thatthe gntivator
once heard General J. r. Hawley,
now t. S. Senator from Connecticut,
offer to give the South all the great
cotton mills and iron works Of the
North, and then, said he, I'VE can
still get rich out Of the manufacture
Of Tim crack" to sell to our South
ern customers. " No one who is at
all familiar with the thousands upon
thousands of small industrial estab-
hshments at the North, in which
"nick-nacks" and 'jim-cracks" are
made can doubt General lIawley's
proposition. But the South does not
feel inclined to accept it as whole,
tor We are as capable Of having such
establishments here as we are of run
ming cotton factories and iron furna-
ces successfully. We have been ship
ping our wood and iron to the North
and buying them Yankee notions !
now let us keep these valuable woods
here, with our iron, and manufacture
at home our Jim cracks and "no-
tons. -,South7w Calfcator.

They were married at the Polish
church by their priest. Father Myskavi.

repaired to the brides home, where q
reception was given which lasted three
days. The wedding took place in the
morning and fine breakfast was
served to the company ut eight o'clock,
after which the dancing and merry.
making began, and was not allowed to
stop or even flag until midnight. The
company then dispersed to meet again
at noon Of the next day, and the same
programme was executed from day to
day until the marriage feast was ended.
The dancing is Of wild, furious nat
