C. are making a very good article of cap and letter paper, as well as news or book paper. Wm. A. Ross, Esq., and Dr. John H. Ellis, of Macon, Ga, died recently. W. D. Watts, a well-known citizen of Laurens, S. C., died last Wednesday. About $15,000 have already been paid into the corporation of Fredericksburg in taxes. H. D. Kinsman, Charleston, S. C., is largely engaged in the manufacture of army tents.
