OUR szANUFACTUREs.
Their Lie. Energy and Push.

OUR WAGON AND FLOW MEN.
Our pushing citizens, John Trautwiene
and Adam simones, have started new
wagon-making establishment Hickman
has for years led this whole country in
the manufacture of wagons; and has built
up reputation in this line of industry
which extends far into Missouri, Arkan-
sas, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Tennes-
see, Mississippi, and as far down as
Florida and Georgia. The steam wagon
and. plow works of Hertweck, BaItzer and
Knoerr, has been in the field for years.
and pushed their business with force and
industry over many difficulties and obsta-
cles. The new establishment Of Traut-
wiene s. Simones will contribute largely
to extending trade, starting in with cap
ital, muscle and will They have field
of the whole Southern States, and, if we
mistake not, the character of the two
firms, they will by degrees grow in abili-
ty and advantages by compe-
tition. Notwithstanding, the universal
dull times, each of these establishments
are running with highland will.
THE MILLERs
An all important place among our home
manufacturers is now filed by the Kick
man Steam FIGURING Mills, Gardner 6
White, proprietors. This senill has three
run Of stones, with capacity for making
100 barrels of flour in days run, and is
| adapted both to custom and merchants

in CUP of good local market forNthe
whssssfraised by our faEners. Nearly
every season ~ business men of Hiek-
man are forced to handle The wheat crop
of this section without profit. and as of
last season, with considerable. loss. Be-
sides, the result, generally Speaking, DO
not give as perfect satisfaction to the
farmers, for they in common with the
buyers at Hickman, are the subjects or
victims of St. Louis spectators and COM
binations. The farmers, and citizens
generally, should take this matter to Sc
rious thought, and give the Hickman
Mills proper encouragement The gen
tlemen at the head Of the institution have
got the vim, the push, the energy, and
qualifications, and will occupy every inch
of ground in the buiness that can be with
prudence occupied.
THE FURNITURE FACTORY.
This establishment has stopped work
for brief spell to rehaul and re-adjust
the machinery, which has been run atfuil
speed for more than twelve months, and
also, to put in some new implements. 1t
will be stopped about six weeks and its
stoppage creates big hole in our indus
tries, throwing quite number out of en-
plOyment, and in some measure throwing
the whole community out of gear. The
firm, Tyler x Harness, have upwards of
/ $4,000 invested in the business, and are
backed by more if it should ever be nee
essary. 1t is probably the strongest in
stitution Of the kind South of Cairo. We
understand they manufacture grade Of
furniture finer than can be made any
where in the South.
OTHER INDUSTRIES.
Among the other industries is cold
Pap Whites Saddlery and Harness es-
tablishment, which he is pushing with
pluck and indefatigable industry. This
line is more open to the competition OF all
the great cities than the other manufac-
turtles noticed but, we hope the day is
approaching when, the farmers who are
organizing for the purpose Of advancing
their avocational interest, may more
closely study the advantage of palroni-
| zing their home mechanics, where they
can get reliable. responsible work, in
preference to buying eastern work, a
great deal of which is shoddy and worth
less. It is the obvious interest of the
farmers to build up their home men. They
have a right to demand of the home me-
chanic work at fair, living rates, but " hen
they are do,rn to that figure, they should
give them the preference.
We have not space now to extend this
notice to various other establishments,
the cooper shops, carriage shop, saw mills,
timers boot makers, etc. 1t would swell
this article to an unreliable length. It
is consoling to look through the duh times
which pervade the entire country, aud
see their various establishments plying
away with hope and industry. They show
that there is LIFE in the old land yet, and
that just as certain as pluck and indus
try always command success they will
meet their reward Their noble industry
needs to be seconded and encouraged by
cur professional citizens and business
men generally. These latter classes must
derive their patronage off Of the hard
ticks of the mechanic and the sweat of
the farmers, and if they can push, and
work, and delve for the common good it
should stimulate all other branches OF
trade, and professions, to a noble emula-
ton.
