too how so eminent an authority takes inc
pains to be acquainted with the siucere and
useful work Of a Georgia journal. Some of
our state friends, our esteemed cnntcinpora-

vi tn advantage:
Augusta, Georgia. has nine miles OF canals
and 21j acres OF reservoirs, utilizing the wa

not eSst ntal in these days of steam that a

having water power shCrlld use 1t to the best
advantage, aud that Is what Augusta does.
She has eleven cotton manufacturing eStab-
lishinentS, cloth. waste, yarn, cotton rope,

The ever Lively Chronicle gives figures which
