THE CITY.
nanufac,ures OF MEANWHILE.


We have frequently spoken OF the
manufacturing interests of our great and
growing city, and referred to Nashville
as one of the best points naturally adapt
ed to manufacturing purposes in the
Southwest. The abundance of material,
timber, water, and all the necessary ele-
ments, indicate this Enthusiastically. The
increase of the manufacturing interests OF
the city during the past two years shows
that our people are becoming thoroughly
awakened to this important branch of in
dustrial pursuits. In this connection we
mention an enterprise of the very highest
concern to our people. We refer to the
Tennessee Cotton Manufacturing Compa-
ny. They are thoroughly organized and
have a subscribed capital of $500, 900,
guaranteed by our best citizens, for the
erection of an immense cotton factory.
The site has been secured, and already
work has been commenced. 1t will be
pushed forward to completion, and the
company design having it in full opera
ton by next fall.

Fine Display

J. @. Coleman's meat store yesterday
was worthy of a special notice. His dis
play of meats was the finest ever seen in
Edgefeld, and his beef was never eclpsed
in this portion of the country. For the
occasion he slaughtered a two-year-old
heifer, which was pronounced by good
judges to be the finest specimen that ever
graced butchers stall
Kuhn & Miller, the Gallatin pike
butchers, also made handsome display
n the way of spiced rounds and choice
meats. Their establishment was literally
patronized.
Fisher, at the foot of Bridge avenue,
furnished his customers with something
extra for Christmas, in mutton beef,
roasted pigs etc.

A COUPLE of American gentlemen did a
cool thing not long since at Baden-Baden.
They were dining with two Partisan ladies
at a hotel, when a Russian prince, who
perhaps wished to pick a quarrel, pur-
chased two handsome bOquets and sent
them to the ladies with his compliments.
The Americans merely glanced over to his
table, bowed cordially, and sent him back,
by the waiter, two Napoleons. He was SO
much chagrined that he left the room.

Christmas Turkey,

A fine Christmas turkey brought to the
city yesterday by Archey Clark, son of ouI
old friend Donald Clark, found its way to
our sanctum yesterday. A turkey in the
editorial room is more appropriate than
we had any idea it would appear, and SC
acceptable, at least on Christmas occa-
sions, that we believe if the thing was re.
peated, we would drop our pen, and take
up the turkey.

upon Gov. Bullock, and Senators could
not understand why a republican Presi-

planned The letter commences as fol

concludes by again appealing for the ap
