Enterprise Triumphs over Every obstacl

Enterprise Triumphs over Every Obstacle.
About three years ago these two gentle
men came to this city and commenced the
manufacture of saddletrees. Having but
little capital they were forced to operate on
small scale at first, working no other
hands but themselves. Yet they were men
of enterprise, and boldly worked their way
through, and soon they were enabled TO
employ some help. Now the Knoxville
Saddletree Factory employs twenty-soven
hands regularly, and is on firm footing,
receiving constant orders from all the
principal cities of the South Their work
is of the best quality; and hence it is
eagerly sought after, 80 much so that they
can not fill but half the orders they receive.
Their principal orders come from Mem
phis aud New Orleans, with occasional
ones from Galveston, Texas. The Mem
phis house has repeatedly written to them
to let them know whenever they are pre-
pared to furnish them more trees, as they
are very anxious to increase their stand
ing orders. They now turn out six dozen
saddletrees per day, for which they find a
ready market MT from S2l to S24 per dozen,
making an average of about SO. so
for every dozen they turn out. At
this rate they ship about 1,S72 dozen
saddletrees a year which brings
them, at 800 so per dozen, the average
price, 81, l2O. NOW TINS money Is brought
from other cities here, and as Messrs.
Kemper & Kohlhase live in the city, as
well as all the hands they employ, and as
all the material used is produced in this
country, every dollar is expended among
us. They expect in less time than year
to enlarge their facilities to such an extent
rs to enable them to turn out fully double
the present number, which would put the
neat sum of SS4, 2i0 yearly in circulation
from that quarter alone. They commence
ed with but little encouragement from out
siders, and we doubt whether they could
have found any one willing TO take stock
in the concern. But now they could east
ly find more than one willing to become q
partner. They have leased the Bosworth
mill, and put up some machinery in which
they prepare the wood aud put the trees
together, when they are taken to the old
shop on the foot of Clinch street to be fin
ished and covered. We care glad to see this
establishment growing, and the Knoxville
saddletree factory gaining such reputa.
ton abroad, for the proprietors, by theiI
energetic and industrious habits, have rails

our people, and certainly deserve to pros

81 600 on the Greeneville church enterprise
This debt being now about liquidated it is
the purpose of Father Marion, and he
believes he will receive ample financial
support in the Spring to build n large
school house in the lot north of the parson-
age. lie says that the present school
rooms are too small by far for the number
of children attending, and it is his inten-
ton to have the school house erected the
first thing.in the Spring, after which.
1t is his intention to enlarge the present
church ediiice. As before stated, il is too
small by far for the present membership,
which is about | 100 communicates. The
present pastor, Rev, Father Marion, is an
energetic and nerSever!nS riafi and mis-
ministry has opened out with flattering
prospect for the growth of the church, and
so lar from the present membership being
decreased the prospects bid fair for large
increase. lie says he feels confident of
being able to obtain the means to carry out
all his plans for the coming year.
SUNDAY SCHOOL.
The Sunday School connected with this
church was commenced soon after the
organization of the church and has been
IN successful operation ever since. They
now number about 260 scholars in regular
attendance, which is in reality the lightest
attendance they have had for some wears
Many are now staying away from Sabbath
HNnOOl OMlnS W ACTUAL SICKNESS among the
children, and perhaps also from fears
caused by false reports. AS general thing
the Catholic people are very Jealous in tire
Sabbath School cause, and very few. if
any, of their children are permitted to stav
away. This is as ii should be, and If every
church in the city would canvass among
their membership for Sunday School
scholars as faithfully as the Catholics,
there would be hundreds of children on
their way to Sabbath School every SUNDAY
who now spend that day in idleness.
REGULAR MEETINGS.
Ihey have two masses every Sabbath,
the first at s A. NJ, and the second at 1880
a. NJ. Sabbath School at p. NJ, and YES
pers at p. NJ. They also have mass every
morning at o'clock. All these meetings
are well attended by the members, num-
bers of whom are very faithful and zeal
Gus workers in the cause of their church.
May success attend every institution set on
foot for the promotion of Gods cause and
the advancement of the Redeemer's King
dom.

Two Important Memorials.

The Board of Trade at its recent meet
ing, in this city, acted upon and adopted
two important memorials presented by our
townsman, G. w. Charlton-one on the
subject of popular education and the other
on Immigration, These memorials are TO
be laid before our Legislature and will, no
doubt, meet with that Consideration which
their importance demands.
We most heartily commend our Board
of Trade for its timely action upon this
vital question. A more important step
could not have been taken by that honora-
BILE body. The two issues of the day, are
Immigration and Popular Education.
Take hold of these and press them for
ward, and there can be no eauivocal
grounds occupied by Tennessee, nor can
she fail to realize compensatory results.
We must educate our people ana open the
way for population, capital and labor. This
is the only way to advance to greatness
and to prosperity. We need to-day, a half
million or more of enterprising people.
Nor are we particular where they come
from.
The Legislature, we hope, will meet the
just demands and expectations of the peo-
pie on both of these questions. Give us
good school law, and make n judicious ap-
preparation to furnish facts with regard to
our advantages and resources. and to sus-
tain our commissioners of Immigration.

Advertising Will Paw,

Frequently when approaching some

we are told that advertisements did no
good, in fact were not read at all. That
this is grand mistake has been repeated

We lost our knife on Monday, advertised
it on Tuesday, and on Wednesday gentle

OhIlmnrN.

We are called upon this morning to
chronicle the death of Mrs Eliza Esper-
andieu, wife of Rev, Frederick Esperandieu,
one of our most esteemed citizens, which
occurred yesterday afternoon about $3.50
O'clock at their residence on Crooked
street. She had been i'll but few days
and was not considered dangerously sick
until yesterday. She was afflicted with
lung disease something of the nature of
pneumonia. On Christmas day she was in
good health and spirits and together with
other friends dined with her son, Mr.
Fred. Esperandieu' On Thursday her
sickness first manifested itselfand assumed
complicated and dangerous form yester-
day morning.
Mrs. Eliza EsDerandieu was harn IN
Lausanne, Switzerland, i'm 1915 She was
the daughter of Rev. Francis Chavannes,
who was "a minister siXty-three years in
switzerland, having but two parishes dur
ing his ministerial life. Miss Chevannes
was married to Mr.. Esperandieu about
1886 and in lSi9 they came to America, be-
ing forced to flee their native land through
the religious prosecutions of Mr.. Esperan-
dieu, then q minister of the Gospel. They
came to Knoxville at the time referred to
and resided here until 1865, when they re-
turned TO Switzerland. In 1870 they
again retured to Tennessee and have re-
sided here ever since. Mrs. Esperandieu
was u luu Ol CULTURE, anu Il ueNOleu INQUIRER
and wife. Not very familiar with our lam
guage, her associates were mostly of her
own kindred, and with them she was a
universal favorite. OF a contented, domes-
tic disposition, she was the life of her
home, which was truly > peaceful and
happy one. Six children survive her.
two daughters unmarried, two married
Mrs. T.. Bolli and Mrs. Ducloux, and two
sons, Messrs. Fred. and William. Mrs.
Esperandieu was sincere Christian wo-
man, and shared her husbands intense de-
yotion to the doctrines of the Bible. When
persecution followed her husband, and his
pursuers went even so far as to involve his
personal liberty rather than yield what
they conscientiously believed to be right
they left the home of their youth and illus.
trious kindred and came to Tennessee
here to seek religious freedom and the
privilege to worship God us seemed to
them best. Firm in her faith, she said but
yesterday in reply to question. that if il
pleased God to take her away, she would
cheerfully go. In this faith, and with hei
loved ones about her, she went to her home
above.
After the above notice was in type, we
received one signed "P, which we would
have been glad to publish in place of oul
own, but which, for want of space and the
fact named, does not appear.-EDs

Accidental Drowning.

On Wednesday afternoon last a distress
ing accident occurred in the river opposite
the mouth of Whites spring branch, re-
sulting in the death of colored man
named Jack Branner. Ho had started
across the river in a boat accompanied by
Henry Jones and white boy named Will
liam Payne, each carrying a gun and ac-
companied by several dogs. Branner re
marked as they showed Off that the boat
was overloaded, and advised his compan-
ions to throw the dogs overheard. This
was not done, however, and when nearly
in the centre of the stream his fears were
realized, aud owing to the restlessness of
the dogs the boat sank, and the occu-
pants found themselves in the water.
Jack could not swim and knowing this
Henry Jones told him and the boy to stay
by the boat and he would swim ashore for
assistance. Payne accordingly seized hold
of the upturned boat and Jones struck out
for the bank, in which he was foolishly
followed by Branner, who however, sank
almost instantly. Dock Hughes rescued
Payne from his uncomfortable position
and parties were engaged during Wednes-
day afternoon and yesterday in dragging
the river for the body but up to the time of
this writing it had not been recovered

On Thursday night, Mr.. John Cava-
naugh, who resides in East Knoxville,
was aroused by the barking of his dog and
going out of the door saw negro man
proving around the yard. He stepped up
to the fellow and catching hold of him
asked his business there at that hour of the
night? The scoundrel replied by drawing
knife from his pocket with which he in
hicted several cuts on the neck and head
of Mr.. Cavanaugh, who feeling the blood
running freely released his hold, when the
rascal escaped. He thinks he recognized
the thief.
Two evenings since an adroit fellow of
the light fingered gentry extinguished the
street lamp in front of Prof. ]. +. Spence's
residence and entering the hall appropri-
ated an oyercoat, shawl and three hats,
with which he escaped without detection
