MIR W. &. Simpson, Of Griffin. is on
visit here to relatives. he has book OF
samples of cloth manufactured by one OF
the Grifia cotton factories. He says
Griffin has two cotton factories. employing
about 700 hands, paying from $4,000 to
$1,000 per month wages which is turned
loose there every month, swelling the vol

factories find no trouble to sell their goods,
and make good dividends. If cotton fac>

IF they help to build up Griffin, why would
they not help to build up Marietta? We
Certainly would be glad to see a cotton
factory in Marietta.
