Tho success Of the Greene County Iron Works
is nm evidence Of what may be dono in mining
in thi country, with capital and good manage
ment -Four years ago there was nm unbrokcn
forest where to-day are five hundred inhabitants
enjoying the benefits of we'll directed and we'll
organized labor The company is evidently
founded with view TO prosperity, and has both
the elements and the character Of success about
it. Greene county should foster and promote
its interests and should take the necessary stock
for the speedy completion of its narrow gauge
railway.
The Bristol Ne,cs some weeks ago. in an ar
ticle on this subject said truly that the citizens
of Greene county should be glad to give the
right Of way for this road, if they indulge the
hope that Grconevillc shall be anything but II
way station they will violate every element OF
good management if they fail to do SO. The
capital stock of this company amounts to nearly
$l25, 600, and in addition to the usual grades OF
foundry iron, the company IS furnishing val
liable quality of mill iron suitable for making
the heads of rails The last blast continued for
nine months without cessation. Mr.. w. +.
Gleason, the treasurer of the Works, is n man
of indomitabe energy, and to his management
to considerable extent is attributable the sue
cess that has attended the attempt to develop in
| IL remunerative manner our vast mineral de-
posts.

We call special attention TO the advertisement
of the Selma, Rome and Dalton Road, which
appears elsewhere. To the travelling public this
road offers rare inducements, such cheap, fare,
excellent cars quick time, attentive officers and
employees 1t is Il real luxury to travel from
Bristol to Mobile in one of Pullman's Palace
cars without changing. Il, TO some extent
combines the conyeniences of home with the
pleasures OF travelling through fertile and in
teresting country
To those who have shipping to do, it is, in
deed, n popular route.
The freights are as low or lower than other
routs, the transit is rapid, and the best Southern
Markets are reached East Tennessee shippers
will find this favorable route for their BUSH
ness
The officers of the road have been fortunate
in procuring the services of Gaines Nj. Harrll,
of this place, as ticket agent. He will sell tick

They are determined that their line shall not
be exceled by any in the country

The railroad bridge, which spans the Holston

The new Prcsbythcran church will soon be

The College buildings at this place which
were formerly the pride Of the village, were
destroyed during the war and now no bui ding
remains on the hill except the old brick board
ing house. which stands like some deserted
castle to mock the grandeur and glory Of de-
parted days.
Business is very dull here, at least one would
think so, could he sec the young merchants
playing marbles or sailing in company with fair
young ladies' on the smooth waters of the beau
tiful lIolston.
When these dull, hot days are gone, and
work comes on, none will be found more at

\ correspondence utlcdge speaks thus ofthe
minerals of Granger county:
There is no doubt but there are minerals,
such rs coal, iron and, perhaps, snlt in the bed
Of Poor Valley, which runs parallel to Clinch
Mountain in the southern part of Granger
county and mp into Virginia. In the vicinity
of Lea Springs coal is found near tho surface
which will ignite readily when placed in the
fire. Years ago iron was obtained Mt the foot Of
what is now known rs "Rhetts View" and
hauled on wagons to Strawberry Plains, where
there was forge and it was there manufactur-
ed, but increased commercial facilities have
opened up other mines and this has fallen into
dis-use.
Saline deposits are to be met with frequently
throughot the extent of Poor Valley, rs well rs
in the immediate vicinity of LEAFS Springs
Some excitement has prevailed of late over
the report that gold mine has been discovered
Mt the northern base of Clinch Mountain near
ly opposite Rutledge. A number of men have
been engaged in mining, but so far the glitter
ing dust has not made itself manifest.
