a CommendabIe Enterprlse.

The great demand for lumber and
fuel in Nashville hes induced a couple
of our citizens, the knight Brothers
well and fayorably known, TO make an
attempt to supply it, in part at least
They have opened 8 yard at the site Of
the old Rolling Mills, College Hill, on
the bank Of the Cumberland, and have
already accumulated supplies of lum-
Der. wood and coal These supplies
sre all drawn from the upper Cumber-
land. and viii be constantly increased.
They raft the lumber down, already
prepared for the carpenter; a fine lot,
we saw there yesterday, having come
from the famous Mil Springs, where
Gen. Thomas smote the rebellion the
first staggering blow. Instead OF at
tempting to bring down cord wood, to
be sawed for the stove, they bring large
stocks. such as those of which plank is
made. saw them up into blocks and
then split them as small as the pur
chaser may desire. The saving IS done
with large cross cut saw, moved by
seam power The engine employed
j. portable, Of twenty horse power, and
a very ane machine. Their stock Of
coal is from the Kentucky fields whose
products have attained the highest re-
pute in Nashville, and is preferred BY
old residents to all others. 1t makes
a charming fire, burning freely and
brilliantly and afording great heat
A railway connects their yard with
the river, whence the lumber, wood
and coal are elevated in cars, pulled
Rp by steam, and distributed to ap-
pointed places in the yard The facih-
ties for moving and handling them,
good though they be at present, will be
increased and enlarged as the enter
prise is developed
1t gives US much pleasure 70 make
mention Of this enterprise. It is one
in which the whole population of Nash
Vile is interested. Our city is growing
steadily, Notwithstanding the war, and
will grow with greater rapidity after
the return Of peace Cheap fuel and
plenty Of it, will be a leading in
strument atty in building up industrial
establishments, and inducing lsboring
men to settle here. 1t becomes, there
fore, matter of public Importance to
encourage every enterprise which prom
ises To promote the general interests
At present, If the worthy brothers
knight, succeed in doing no more than
supplying partially the demand for
lumber, and cheering the hearts OF
house keepers with good wood and coal
6res, they will be entitled to considera-
ton as energetic, deserving business
men aud public benefactOrs In the
future, as their business expands, they
may do still mere, and reap greater re-
wards.
