Iron Furnace and Nail Mill.

Lie cuoyJ now Delny maze 10 secure

Nail Mill, is one that ought to enlis
tie assistance and cooperation of CIV
cry land owner and business man in ti'
county
Messrs. Lewis and Irwin are gentle
men thoroughly competent and quail
fled BY long experience in the Iron bus
mess Their management Will be guar
n0tce that the enterprise will be prose
cutcl successfully. Those gentlemen
propose investing their money in THU
county, The y. & G. Il. II. Co., ha'
consented ! II liberal rate Of freight OF
the orc a,M fuel, and the manufacture,
product. The Tenn, Coal and r. r
Co., propose TO furnish coal at a rat

The question ofmakiug a good quail

mineral coal and coke has never beer
fully determined. Those conditions anc
characteristics Of ore and coal, requisite
for The production OF metal, have not
been found in position contiguous, I'm
der circumstances that warranted ar
Investment sufficient to make a success
tul experiment. Perhaps for the first
time in the history Of the Iron trade in
Tennessee, we find Iron manufacturers
disposed to undertake the Development
Of this important question, With full
Ndth in the success Of an enterprise
that in other localities has contributed
so much to the material interests ofthC
country; with a superior quality o.
ore and the use Of Sewanec coal, whicl
is peculiarly adapted to the necessities
Of working Iron, possessing all the
cGemical componcnts in an eminent dc
gree essential 10 success; with q com
pAratiye absence OF those noXious Gle

the resulting iron, and under the dircc
lion Of gentlemen Of acknowledged
skill AMI energy, We may be sanguin
in anticipating 4 satisfactory result
, When thi, experiment o~fmaking goo,

strated, then capital VIII seek invest

regions of the North. Other Furnace
will be built. The enlarged consump
ton Of coal viii c~vcntuate in a reduc
ton Of pricc, and where the metal AM
fuel are to be cheapest, will spring III
Rolling Mills, Foundrics, AIachin
shops, and all manufacturing cntcrpri
scs that enter largely into the consump
ton Of iron, This brings population

era, that enhances the value of you
land. and makes a home market for tn
agricultural pgodu 3tion Of the county
and will build n thriving prospcrou
town Of Winchester in n few years o

The citizens of FrankIin county have
it in their power to accomplish this, BY
