A Big Dividend.

"While The Laurens Cotton Mills
have declared u very handsome diyi.
dend to the shareholders" remarked n
leading banker of this city last week,
Its largest dividend vas to persons
who owned not collar of stock, the
farmers all over the county received a
great deal more money from the in
creased prices Of cotton, brought about
by the mill buying, than the share
holders have gotten from the stock.
The shareholders are of course more
than satisfied with the mills pros.
perity, but the farmers are even more
Indebted to it and should appreciate
the obligation"

in the city of New-York possesses such
beautiful features as this little space in the
