MANUFACTURERS 1T is not absolutely requi-
site for the prosperity of city that it should
have large manufactures. OF course, the more
of these, the greater will be the prosperity
But, citizens or associations, with moderate
capital, can most proftably and usefully en-
gage 10 various kinds of manufacturing enter
prises, which will draw trade and population.
We have already manufactures Of furniture,
boots and shoes, hats, agricultural implements,
&c., &c. These, and many other establish
ments, can be enlarged and increased readily, so
as to supply all demands from town and coun-
try They would employ labor, circulate money
and build up and extend the city. Every
mandatory which furnishes work to worthy
and deserving men, helps q city on the road to
prosperity.

SHADE TREEs.-Many of the Southern pa
pers are now urging upon the Inhabitants OF
all cities and towns in the South, to plant
shade trees, in front of their doors, and all
along the public streets. We have been urging
this same thing here for thirty years We be-
eye that if there were row Of shade trees on
King street, both sides, from the river to
Hooff 5 run, the value Of property would be
enhanced nsderabiy-whilst the appearance
of the city would be greatly improved. Be-
cause it is business street, that is no reason
vhy it should not be a pleasant and beautiful
street. In many of the streets there have
been rows of shade trees planted, and every
body sees the advantage. The more trees there
are in town, the more healthy and agreeable
it is.
