TRUE PEOGREss.
Mammoth Mandatory Of AgrIeuI.
nToahRmRrX

IuraA macnEueFys
The firm of T. Il. Jones & Co, estab-
ished in this city less than two years ago,
in the business of agricultural implements,
by industry and energy, has built up
trade extending into most Of the Southern
States. 1t has fully established this
city as an admirable point for the sale
and distribution of this class of machinery.
and has led directly 10 the formation of
joint stock company for the manufacture Of
that class Of merchandise; with capital Of
one hundred thousand dollars-the firm
being the principal stockholders, and the
business Of the company continuing under
their firm name. They will proceed with
out delay to select their location, prepare
their shops and supply all needed machin
cry to carry on the manufacture of nipple
| ments on the largest scale eve. reached il
Tennessee or the South. They will com
mence the manufacture this fall or winter
and be able to supply the bulk of the trad
from their own shops for the ensuin
year.
This is a striking example Of what ca
be accomplished by industry and entel
: prise, and is worthy of imitation in othe
branches of mechanical industry. 1t
one of those healthy steps in progress whic
s will build up our city and increase th
J, prosperity of the surrounding country.
year ago T. II. Jones & Co. were buildin
wheat fans Slone; next year they vii

suitably rewarded by the most sbundsr

Dangerous Illness of Col. Wm. Il
Sneed Of Knoxville.

John d Brien, Esq, writing, to a gen.
tleman of this city, concerning the illness
of his falher-in-law, Col. Sneed, says:
"Ifjustice to all, kindness to every one,
and strick adherence TO all the rules Of
christian charity is, as We are taught, true
religion, in a few short hours one of the
noblest souls that ever existed on earth
will be rejoicing around the throne Of,
God" Col. Sneed is aneminent lawye r,
who has for twenty years held the first
rank in his profession. He represented
the Knoxville district in Congress before
the war, and is one Of East Tennessee
most distinguished, and useful citizens
We are deeply panied to learn that he il
so extremely i'll. He has for some tint
been in feeble health, but we had hopes
that he would recover, and were surprised
to learn the sad intelligence which W

The friends of the manufacturing in-
teres,s Of Nashville, are gratifed to hesr
that an association Of gentlemen with the
capital necessary for the enterprise is
about establishing here shops for the
manufacture of agricultural implements,
and other articles now imported from dis
tant cities. The suggestion ia a good one
and we hope to zee it favored with the en-
enlargement aud patronage necessary to
make it successful. The greatest wonder
is that something of the kind YVES not long

Hoops Disappearing

individuals who are prejudiced against
the hoops go long worn by the better part
Of creation, will be glad TO learn that they
are going out of fashion. So long as they
were the style, We could not get our con
sent to say word against them, and now
that they are going the way Of all other
follies in dress, it would not be gallant to
criticise them in any spirit of unkindness.
Let it sullice to say that the hoop period
ia nearly over, and that it gives US more
pleasure than pain to record the fact
Goodbye, hoops, and goodbye the folly
that made you great.

A NEW line of German steamships will
soon be established between the Prussian
port of Stettin and the port Of New York.
The preliminary details have already been
arranged, and in a few months two steam-
ships of the line will begin their trips.
Stettin is the capital of the province of
Pomerania, and is one of the most important
of the Prussian ports. 1t is situated on the
Oder, eighty miles from Berlin, with which
it is connected by railroad. When
direct intercourse is established between
Steitin and New York, it will doubtless re-
suit in great increase of our commercial
relations with that part of Germany. Not
only will additional facilities be furnished
for commerce, but also for emigration; and
the inhabitants of the Baltic Provinces
will be enabled to take their departure for
America without the necessity Of the long
and expensive railroad journey to Ham,
burg or Bremen.

The Assistant Treasurer at New York pur-
chased on lhe 18th inst. subject to the future
action of Congress, $4,000 of $50 bonds. The
total amount offered to the government was
S5,474 lOi; the lowest offer was 1882 and the
highest 40.
The Galveston News of the 18th inst. says Of
the cotton crop Of Texas:
The receipts have increased from day to day,
being mainly of new cotton. We note the re-
ceipts from the Trinity river, some eleven bales.
The latest advices from the interior leave no
doubt but that the crops are suffering heavily
from the worm, and that in many districts the
yield has been cut down one quarter TO One-half
the amount calculated upon. In the northern
counties the dry weather has been so prOtracted
as to cause the squares to fall off, andin the low-
er country the worm has stripped entire fields of
every leaf Already We observe trashy cotton
received, being from fields in which the worm
has been at work. Notwithstanding these IN
favorable accounts, the steady demand for gin
stOnds and cotton screws, and the active demand
for bagging and ties. leads to the conclusion
that in the aggregate the product will be very
much larger than last year."
