Knoxville. --- -ae-s-sz+-

Knoxville. rr- zsers-a-= |
The fruit canning establishment which |
has just been established in our city by Mr.
George Lemons, who is agent for the relia-
bic house of Jas. E. Stansberry, of Balti-
more, is now beginning to assume business
like shape. Mr.. Lemons has leased
the commodious brick warehouse on
the railroad and Hardee street. just
east of the Crozier street crossing. Yester-
day workmen from the Knoxville Foundry
and Machine Shop were busily engaged put
ting up boiler at the north end of the
building to furnish the steam, and the work
on the inside was also progressing finely.
1t is expected to get to work and put up
some peaches to-day. if the fruit which
is engaged arrives. The preparations
are complete and extensive, and the
machinery of the newest and
most improved style. They are prepared
for the present to can about 1000 bushels of
peaches per day of ten hours. The fruit
will be put up chiefly in three-pound tin
cans, large supply of which, in boxes, are
now on hand
! This is a permanent institution, and one of
the most important enterprises that have
| been set on foot in our city for some time,
and should be properly encouraged by
the surrounding country. For the present
season nothing but peaches will be worked,
but if success attends their efforts, the
management expect to commence next
season and can all kinds of fruits and xege-
tables.
This will create a ready cash market for
all the surplus fruit in the surrounding
country Mr.. Geo. W. Bird, we'll known
and reliable gentleman of this county, has
been employed by Mr.. Lemons to purchase
fruit. Last week he made trip along the
Knoxville & Ohio Railroad, and engaged
about 5000 bushels of peaches He will
continue his canvass, and all parties having
spare fruit will do well to engage it to these
gentlemen.
