pleasure in distributing, as requested.
Indeed we feel quite an interest in, the
cause in which you are SO actively en-
gagged. This is, allow me to say, an OPP
'portunity which every manufacturer
should take advantage of who expects to
bring his work in competition with East
iern made goods, which has so long held a
monopoly in the South. AS you suggest,
i certainly intend to be on hand, and that
too with o collection of buggies, wagons,
plows, harrows, &C., that will compare in
quality and price with the older manufacs
turers of the country.
On the return of Mr.. J. e. Rhat who is
now from home, will make known to
him your wishes in regard to the mineral
collection.
The people of Bradley county are also
getting interested on the subject of Fairs.
They have invested large sum of money
in suitable grounds and improvements.
During the fall we anticipate having a.
Fair that will do honor to our country.
One prominent feature is the race track. /
am told that there is none superior to it in
the State. 1T is full mile long, and sixty
feet wide. rs iEs'a ~ ne

of one of the most enterprising men in Brad
ley county. 1t will be seen that he will
be present at our Spring Exhibition 'sarmed
and equipped as the law directs" The in
terest he manifests Is creditable to him,
and worthy of the great cause in which /
every man, woman and child of East Ten

Having become satisfied after thorough inves- tigation that Elastic Sponge, as now and lately manufactured, is one of the best of all the sub stitutes for curled hair, for many if not most uses in upholstery, we have accepted the agency of it, and intend to make it hereafter speciality in our business. The objections which have been made to it and which it is well known we ourselves have thought were well founded, we have ascertained cannot be urged against the article as now per- fected. The process of manufacture has been en- tirely remodeled under the advice and superin- tendence of one of the most eminent chemists of New England. New chemical and mechanical ap- pliancies have been introduced in cleansing crude sponge, and in charging it with glycerine with such entire success, that Elastic Sponge may now be said to be chemically pure. There is absolute ly nothing in it but the clean fibre of sponge and chemically pure glycerine.
 The objections to Elastic Sponge being thus re- moved there remain it's updisputed merits which which certainly entities it to be considered one of the most valuable as it is of the most curious and interesting of late discoveries. Chief among these merits is that it is proof against moths, ,- the great scourge of the business, against all other insects. Then it's elasticity is permanent, based it is upon the non-evaporable property of glycerine and it's indestructbiity of sponge fibre. We have always been satisfied upon these two points which are the essential requisites in such materials. The evidence is now equally clear that it is wholesome and sweet. It is certainly light and soft, easy to manipulate, and cheap enough for all except the lowest class of goods. For cushionins of Churches, Theatres, Public Halls, Railway Stations Omnibuses, Carriages, Steam and Horse Cars and the hke it will prob ably be found, everything considered, the best ticle in use. For all uses and especially for bed ding we are now prepared to recommend thepub- lie to give it fair trial as we ourselves intend to do We are ready also to answer enquiries, make estimates and take orders for every description of work in Sponge well as to supply the trade the article in Bales.
