The last number of the Athens Post states
that movement is on foot in that place to es-
tablish wooden factory. This is step in the
right direction and one that will pay large
dividend to the stockholders There should be
dozen factories of this kind throughout East
Tennessee. There is room enough for them, and
their construction would create such demand
for wool that almost every farmer would find it
to his interest to raise sheep, while many would
embark in sheep husbandry, investing large
sums in the purchase of pasture lands and I'M
proved breeds of sheep, and in return reaping
large profits from the money SO expended.
At the fair last fall some splendid specimens
of cashmere and jeans were exhibited, manu-
featured in East Tennessee. and with the requi-
site machinery as good cloths could be made as
any we would wish to purchase A factory of
this kind ought to be established in Knoxville,
and we hope that it will not be long before
Knoxville is known as the center OF the wool
market and manufacture in Tennessee.
