Matrimonial.

Last night, notwithstanding the severe in
clemency of the weather, quite number of
friends and relatives were present at the resi-
dence of Mr.. NJ. A. Williams, about one mile
from the city, to witness the nuptials of Mr.. s.
A. Craig and Miss Mamie T. Williams. The
ceremonies were performed by Rev. DR.. Thos
w. Humes, of the Episcopal Church, and were
truly solemn and impressive. The ceremonies
were concluded by hearty congratulations from
the relatives and friends of the then extremely
happy couple, after which most sumptuous
repast was served, and it would seem, from the
looks of the table, that one-half of the city
had been invited and failed to attend. The
occasion was doubly interesting to Mr.. Viii
liams, as his table was graced by his brother,
Mr.. Charles Williams, from Cleveland, Ohio,
whom he had not seen for some time It wa:
altogether most pleasant affair, and all enjoy
cd themselves to the utmost Mr.. Craig and
his charming bride left on the 1870 train last
night for short wedding tour through Geor-
gia, where the well wishes of many friends fol-

More About city Improvements.

Mr. CHRONICLE MAN: see in your paper
of this morning, that you arc giving Mayor
Bearden's administration all the credit for Mar
ket Square Improvements and considerable
amount of the other Improvements of the city.
Now, don't think that is right l know
Mayor Van Glider has improved the city very
much as / live in one of his houses l can see
the work going on all the time Big gullys not
much less than hundred feet deep have been
filed, almost in front of my door. Now,
Mayor Bearden never filed up any such gull
leys and improved the city. And / know
Mayor Van Glider has done lots of Meadamiz-
ing, and be has done it in places where it will
keep and not wear out in few months. Now.
Mayor Bearden did not do this; he placed the
rock around in a most wasteful manner. What
is the result? Why, the rock are worn as
much, as the rock Van Glider has put down will
be in one hundred years, This shows the sumo.
rior Judgment of this self-made man. ctt
Besides, Mr. CHRONICLE man, / don't think
you properly appreciate the improvement the
Mayor has done for Market Square. Hasn't
he put up gallows that rogues can see from
Bristol or Chattanooga, warning them against
what it is for, but we have thought the Mayor
might use it for town clothes line, where poor
women could all hang their washing The fact
IS, none but mighty intellect would have con-
celved the idea of such means to improve
Knoxville. l don't know what it cost, but not
much guess, as it was made in the family.
Now, don't Mr.. CHRONICLE, say anything
more about Mayor Bearden having done every
thing on Market Square.

KNOXVILLE WHOLESALE MARKETS.

Grain and Produce.

A1 Grain and Produce.
GRAIN-The wheat market has been rather
dull for the past week, with decline in the
price of cents on all grades. The purchaser we
mentioned as having left last week, returned
but will not pure base wheat at former quota
tios and is very cautious in his purchases at the
reduced price, scanning the market reports very
closely. 1t is very evident that wheat has
reached its highest figures and that future
changes in quotations will likely be on the de-
clining side.
FRUITs.-The market seems to be flooded
with dried fruit, and scarcely any sales are re-
ported. Peaches, in halves, have declined
cent, and are now freely offered at accents. The
dried fruit market is extremely dull.
FLoUR.-The scarcity of flour continues to
some extent, yet there is no advance on former
prices. The present indications are that Flour
will be easier, the late rains enabling many
mills to grind, which have, for some time past,
been idle. Flour is in fair demand at quota
TONS
OATs.-Dull with no change in quotations
CoRN.-A shade lower with no activity in
the market. - & <
Eggs have continued to advance. and twenty
eight to thirty cents are now freely offered
for shipping purposes. Some very large lots,
in shipping order have brought as much as
80 cents, yet these were exceptional cases, the

OUR MANUFACTURING INTERESTS.
The Knoxville ReS Factory in Fall Opera


This nav enterprise is now fairly under way
and we can do nothing less than predict TOR II q
grand success. Mr.. d. r. Samuel, the pro-
prietor, is a man of untiring energy, which is
one of the pre-re Iuisites to success in any bus-
ness As a matter of course-his hands all
being unskilled in the use of tho various
machines-his operations at the beginning must
necessarily be rather on the small scale. For
instance, he now works about ten hands, who
turn out only 80 kegs per day, when the same
number of hands, when properly trained, can
easily turn out 400 kegs per day-nearly treble
the amount they now make. His machinery
works splendidly, with capacity of preparing
the material for at least 500 Kegs per day with
perfect case, His large circle saw Is not In
running order as yet, but Will be II a
few days, when he can take large log, saw it
I'D into blocks for slaves and blanks fer bottoms
and tops. These blocks are taken and put to a
saw which has just the shape of a keg, and
which saws out the slaves IN perfect shape,
when they pass through another saw to straight
en- the edges and afterwards through machine
which cuts them into proper lengths and cuts
the grooves for the bottoms and heads. The
pianks are cut into square pieces by another saw,
after which they pass through another machine
which rounds and tongues the heads almost In
the twinkling of an eye An ordinary hand,
with but little experience, can turn out at least
1000 neads in day, with perfect ease while, an
pert hand can turn out nearly double that
amount. His belt saw, for scroll work, etc.,
works admirably, as also does his planer. In
fact every department isin complete anning or
der, showing that a man who thorough
ly understands his business, superintendent
the putting up and the general arrangement Of
machinery 1s%
Mr.. Samuel, as soon as he can.get satisfactory
assurance of obtaining the tub and buckettrade
of this country, will add new machinery, and
in connection with his key factory, will go
largely into the manufacture of these useful and
indispensable articles. He saysIhe knows that
he can make and sell them cheaper than they
can possibly be purchased North, from the
sim pie reason that he can get the material
cheaper here, and that he can employ laborers
here for less money than they can be had at in
the North. This is no idle talk. There are
thousands of dollars sent off yearly for these
articles, which should, andwe hope and trust
will be kept here in the future. The raw mate
rial is to be had in abundance here and can be
obtained much cheaper than in the North; then
why not manufacture these articles and let this
community reap the benefit of the profit there
is in this line of trade? We hope Mr.. Samuel
will receive all the encouragement possible from
our merchants.
