New Manufacturing Establishment

New manuiactuPlnS EstheAAsnhheha.
Among the numerous new enterprises
springing up in Nashville, it gives us pleas
ure to refer to the extensive furniture fac.
tory recently put in operation by our en-
terprising friends Weakley & Warren. The
new establishment is located on the corner
Of Broad and High streets, in the house
| formerly known as Dickey's mill and stu
ated as it is upon one of the leading
| thorouhfares in the city, the establishment
| will, as matter Of course, attract ccnsider-
| able attention. In going through the fac
| tory, we find that all the modern machine
| ~ has been introduced for the msnufac-
| ture of the various articles in their line.
l 10 one portion of the shop is a machine
orthe reception of timber in its rough state,
which has only to go through 10 be thor
oughly dressed. At another place is a
machine for turning bed posts, and ad-
joining that Fay's patent scroll saw, which
is sort of lightning machine, and per-
forms circular work with comparative ease.
In fact, there is a large variety of ma
chinery used, and every lathe and saw
has its duties TO perform in the general
cutting and slashing necessary ia the form
alton of bedsleads, wardrobea, tables, bu'
reaus, sofas, chairs, etc, etc. Ooe room 10
the building is set aside for carving, which
is under the superintendent of George
D. Roberts In the drying room is largs
lot of lumber undergoing the seasoning
process, which is convincing proof that the
timber lie to be properly prepared before
used.
1t must be a source Of pride to everyone
interested in the future prosperity of Nash
Vile to See these manufacturing establish
ments coming into life. la this case We
| find a large number OF competent work
men employed in the different department.
| which make up a frst-class furniture
factory, and as business increases, and new
| machinery introduced TO keep up with the
times, the services of many other workmen
will be required.
We notice that the firm have secured the
right for manufacturing patent extension
table, which, of itself, will have big sale
The factory has started under very favora
BILE auspices, and the experience of thu
firm 30 far is, that they will be able tc
manufacture at much less cost than The
same articles can be purchased in the Nortl
In addition to this fact, they have in theiI
employ frst-class workmen, and will b.
better prepared to guarantee their worl
than formerly. We say, the most IN
bounded success to the new enterprise.

AnornER Ku,KLux rnAaEDY.

Two Hen Wrested from tine Custody /
of the Civil Authority and Executed.
The jackson Tribune gives the particu-
lars of the killing of two men by the Ku-
klux at Poplar Corner in Madison county.
The men had been captured near Dyers-
burg on stolen horses, belonging to gentle
men in the Poplar Corner neighborhood,
and brought back and turned over to
Squire Lawrence on Sunday evening last.
Four men undertook TO guard them until
morning, when they were to have been
examined on the charge of demonstrating;
and according to the testimony, about two
| O'Clock, fifteen or twenty men with long
gowns on and completely disguised
throughout, rode up and demanded the
prisoners. Having obtained possession Of
them, and the guards were poWerless 10
prevent it. they disappeared. Not long
afterward, pistol shots were heard SEINE
distance of, estimated by one of the wit
nesses at not less than forty, and in the
morning the men were found dead.
One of the captured party, Samuel W.
Taylor, was quite youth, and Of good
reputation and family. John Fox, the
: name Of the other one, had been staying
around for several months, without any
ostensible business, and it ia supposed tina
E he had persuaded young Taylor to join
: him in stealing horses.
}, The Tribune concludes the article a
follows:
Whilst it may truthfully be said ;ha
. these masked men simply Rseted out jus
e tiee to the alleged criminals; that thei
crime was such that they were placed bf
yond the pale of sympathy; yet these dii
guised executioners and judges at ono
have assumed fearful responsibility
responsibility that we would not assam
II for the wealth Of all this world. That th
u" misguided men were guilty of the heinor
crime of horse stealing, there is no doub
b. but life is more sacred than horses. Th;
d they were guilty is not questioned, bl
:, they were debarred of their sacred right

A white boy provided with brushes and
foct-stool made his appearance upon our
streets yesterday in Che capacity Of boot
black, looking and acting the character so
admirably as to make it appear that he was
lately from some city where such sights are |
not unusual. The last We saw of him was |
late in the afternoon on the corner of Cher.
ry and Union streets, where he had jult
succeeded in putting such brilliant polish
on countryman's boots as to make them
attract the attention OF half dozen quar-
relsome dogs who gathered around the
wearer TO growl at reflections which very
closely resembled genuine barkeFs. Inc
presence of the dogs accounted for the ao-
sence of chickens, and therefore the picture
lost point Of resemblance 10 the illnstra,
ton which 80 frequently adorns the top oil
blacking boxes. Once before, we believe
boot-blacks made their appearance on
the streets of this city. But they did
| not come from abroad nor were they
white. The enterprise lasted but
few days, and was anything else than
profitable to the party who inaugurated 1t.
If our information be correct, it happened
and resulted something in this way: Soon
