Probably 1000 steers are shipped alive
out of New York every day. Their
landing place on the other side, as rule,
is Deptford, London. Ships carry all
the way from fifty or sixty head up to
600 each. If hundred or two are
carried they are kept on the upper deck.
If from 400 to GOO are carried, then two
decks, and sometimes three must be de-
voted to the cattle.

We desire to call your attention to
business for which GAINESVILLE pos
sesses peculiar advantages, enjoyed
by no other town in the U. S. that is,
SNUFF MAKING.
Six factories draw almost the whole
of their supplies from our tobacco
market, three of which are among
the largest in the United States.
The consumptive markets for snuff
are mainly south, west and north
east of us, US giving the following
freight advantages over Pennsylva-
mia and New York factories:
A factory of 1900 hhds. capacity
per annum in those States, would
pay freight north on crude material
of $4,000. On the manufactured
article, over our rates to those mar
kets, Of $27, 600, a total of freight
rates in our favor of $40, 900 per an
mum. Snuff makers realized fair
profits on cost of stock of Sc. per ID /;
for three years their stock has been
laid here at an average cost of A.. to
43c. per h., netting them in round
figures 100000 per annum, in adj
dition to their regular profits. The
snuff factory proposed, to have COM
plete success from the start, should
have Il cash capital of not less than
100000. A well managed snuff
factory here should pay an average
annual dividend of 40 per cent. to GO
per cent.
The vicious class legislation OF
Congress against the Southern peo-
pie, makes it the patriotic duty of
every Southern man who has a few
dollars to spare, to put them into
some manufacture, in competition
against Republican manufactures
North. We for our part, are ready
and willing to do our share.
To test your feelings upon the sub
iect, we will, at 10 o'clock a. III. Aug.
18th next, open at the Farmers and
Merchants National Bank books
for subscription, upon which you
can write your names, and the num-

Death of J. w. Pardue.

John William Pardue died at his
home, three miles east of the city
this morning at TBS O'clock, Of con-
sumption, after long illness. He
was the only child of DIR. G. M. Par
due of this city, and was 80 years
and eleven months old. Mr.. Pardue
was raised in this and Cheatham
counties, and lived several years in
GAINESVILLE. For quite a while he
was deputy sheriff nnder James Il.
Moseley. He made a good officer
and in the discharge of his duties
formed large acquaintance through
out the county, and whoever knew
him liked him. Several years ago
he married Miss Lille Hollins, Of
the First district. TO them were
born four children, three of whom,
with the mother survive him. Mr..
Pardue was a good citizen, man
who met with the responsibilities OF
life and discharged them conscien-
tiously. He was the idol of the fam
lily circle, where he was as gentle as a
woman, and there his death is most
keenly felt. He was member Of

Knights of Pythias.

The Wheat Market.

Wheat has taken another jump in
price, and ranges at prices above
$I.00. 1t is thought by some thai
the silver legislation and the advance
of that metal in England is having
considerable influence on the grain
market, but the limited supply is the
principal cause. Every monthly re-
port reduces the visible supply, prov.
ing that the crop is much shorteI
than anticipated two months ago.
The advance in the market will have
a tendency to stimulate farmers in
seeding large crop, and should Mr.
Blaine's reciprocity prevail, opening
the South American markets, good
prices will be maintained.
