SODA WATER.

THE undersigned would respectfully inform the people of Augusta, and adjacent towns, that he has opened, at the corner of Broad street and Butler's alley, opposite the Planters' Hotel, a Soda Water Manufactory, and is now prepared to fill orders for any quantity of Bottles Soda Water, Sarsaparilla, &c., which is guaranteed superior to anything of the kind heretofore offered in the city.
    Having been engaged in the same business for the past fifteen years, in the city of Savannah, should be sufficient of itself to guarantee my ability to furnish a superior article.  My machinery is of the latest and most approved construction; the fountains are iron, coated on the interior with porcelain, consequently the water does not come in contact, as in other apparatus, with copper, lead or other medals, which are more or less injurious.
    I will run a wagon to all parts of the city and deliver all orders free of cartage.
                                                                                                                     JOHN RYAN,
                                                                            Corner of Butler's alley and Broad street
                                                                                                                               Augusta, Ga.
