SOUTHERN WATCHMAN [ATHENS, GA], June 4, 1862, p. 2, c. 1

Home Industry.

While at the plantation of our highly esteemed friend Richard Dowdy, 
Esq. of Madison county, the other day, we looked in at the 
establishment of H. A. Cook & co. The machinery all goes by water-
power, and is kept busily employed in making pike handles, spinning 
wheels, hand looms, and other useful articles. We commend this 
establishment to the attention of those in need of such articles. 
Thrown entirely upon our own resources, it is important that we 
should do all we can towards clothing our soldiers in the field as 
well as the people at home. To do this successfully, we need wheels 
and looms. At the above establishment good articles can be had at 
reasonable prices. 

Mr. I. M. Kenney is agent here for the sale of wheels and looms. 
Orders left with him, we are requested to say, will be promptly 
attended to.
