BRIDGED OVER THEIR TROUBLES.
The Atlanta Cotton Mills Taken Out
of the Hands of the Receiver.

The Atlanta Cotton Mills Taken Out
of the Hands of the Receiver.
Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 2S-The Atlanta cot
ton mills, which were placed in the hands
of a receiver last September, were to-day
taken out of the hands of the court, all
the financial difficulties which surrounded
the company al the time the receivership
was created having been smoothed out
The direct cause of the receivership was
the failure of Coffin, Altemus & Co of
Philadelphia. who were selling agents for
the mills. The mills had given this firm
acceptances amounting to $4,000 for
which the cotton mill company was liable.
When the Philadelphia concern failed
it was feared that the holders of these
acceptances would press for an immediate
settlement, and thus cause a sacrifice of
the property, in order to meet them.
BY the appointment of the receiver this
was averted, and the mills were left in
a position to be kept running on full
time, while the negotiations for a settle
ment of these accounts was proceeding
The mill employs about 800 hands and a
shut would have been a hardship
10 these, as well as a great loss to the
stockholders.

TO our FRIENDS AND PATRONS

Savannah, Ga, Jan. %, 1S97.-Greeting:
The undersigned desires respectfully a
hearing in order to correct false impress
sion that has gotten abroad in this good
city. that neither the Savannah Ice Deliv-
cry Company, or anybody else for that
matter, has obtained control OF the Georgia

old Savannah stockholders, of which I
have the honor to state am one, and to
further state that outside of the Savan-
nah stockholders no one will ever obtain
control of this association. We propose

southeastern states. If required and to
make Savannah the base of operations
tending to largely increase the beer trade
from this point, and thus help along the
commerce of the city. Incidental thereto,
we shall enter into friendly competition
for business in our line on an honorable
and upright basis. having due regard for
our neighbours rights and pledging our
selves to treat them all as fairly as we
expect to be treated.
In conclusion, l beg to say on behalf of
myself and fellow stockholders that we
shall make war on nobody, and shall sim
ply pursue the even tenor of our way, fur
nishing you with the best beer that can
be made from the best materials obtaina-
BILE, as heretofore. and do guarantee to
protect all of our customers, and as many
more as will kindly favor us with their
business in the beer and ice line, as well.
The writer further begs to state that
delay in publication of this statement was
occasioned by his indisposition, caused
by the prevailing malady. la grippe, which,
added to his manifold personal duties, rem
