OF 1862, when the Federal army was
marching towards the gates of Rich

Congress was compelled to adopt
drastic methods to hold the uni

enemy. There was not time to call
on the Governors for other men to

Hon. Benz. Hill, who bitterly OPP
bill in the State, in explaining why
the Senate passed it, before the
Georgia Legislature, December 18th,
1862, said: 'On every side the

The volunteer system never failed

writer hereof with the aid of a few

The latest triumph Of modern

all. No taste, no gripping, no nau-

Cotton Goods Trade

The changed outlook in raw cotton
has stimulated trade in cotton goods
and price recovery from the weakness
of last month has been rapid. Sales
have not been especially large, owing
TO the unwillingness Of mills TO make
long commitments and their lack Of
supplies from the new crop.
Print cloths are within II cent a
yard Of the top prices Of the year,
sheetings have recovered more than
half the losses on many constructions,
and fine goods have begun 10 show
more activity. Percales for spring,
which had been priced at 3 cents =
yard higher than the prices for fall,
were withdrawn from the markets af.

strong. Denims are back at the high
er figures of the year and tickings rule
firm. Finished goods are still scarce
for quick delivery from first hands
Labor scarcity continues and wages are
being advanced irregularly in some
mill centres.
Export demand has been restricted
by the scarcity of spot goods Of the
kinds wanted and by curtaled facilities
for shipment. Government calls are
steady and goods on order are being
hurried out wherever more haste Is
possible. Retail distribution has shown
improvement

Only a small part OF the deeds attrlb-

name is merely the centre about which
have been grouped popular tales de-
scribing the mischievous pranks OF
vagabond Of peasant origin.
"Eulenspiegel exercises his Wit and
