Our Cleveland Letter,

CLEVELAND, Tenn, March 10, 1882.
Mr.. EDITOR; After the gloomy and dis
agreeable rainy weather of the past few days.
it is pleasure to have sun bath once more
The damp, wet weather has caused a great
deal of sickness, especially of pneumonia.
Mrs. '.Pole" Hall died this week, with pneu-
monia. She lost daughter about ten days
ago. and there are several down with it now,
Mrs. Baldwin Harle, the oldest female resi-
dent of Cleveland is very low, but not with
out hope of recovery.
Last Monday Walter Craigmiles, J. S.
Hancock and Arthur Traynor, boarded the
west bound train, passed through the little
village Chattanooga, which was smoking
and blazing with her iron furnaces and car
works, and at IL o'clock arrived in the city
of Tullahoma, beyond the Cumberland
Mountains Tullahoma is town of about
thousand inhabitants, beautifully situated
and commanding a magnificent view to-
wards the East, and pleasant resort for the
people of Nashville and Memphis during the
heated term. The energy and push of her
people have made her quite manufacturing
centre. There is a sash and blind factory
doing a good business, also a file factory
employing nine hands, three of whom axe
from Sheffield, England, being very skiIzul
mechanics. This factory is something new
for the South being the only one this side
of the Ohio River, am informed. A gen.
tleman by the name of Campbell owns it.
The hub and spoke factory employs
about fifteen hands, having about $1l, 900
invested in machinery alone, also owned by
Mr. Campbell
The woollen mills are owned by MIR. W.
r xEh cd Of
man, who takes pleasure in meeting and
showing strangers great deal of courtesy
in conducting them through his extensive
works. He has invested $4,000 in these
works and runs 25 looms, giving employ
ment to about thirty hands. He makes
jeans, hnsey, blankets, yarns, &c, using to
propel his machinery one of the Mansfield,
Ohio, engines, which is a thing of beauty,
indeed.
The gentlemen who visited Tullahoma
propose erecting hub and spoke factory,
starting with capital of $1,000, provided
the railroad authorities will favor them with
reasonable rates, which we know will be
done.
Messrs. Lea & Gibson, of Chattanooga,
olosed contract yesterday with Mclean d
Co. to move their foundry to Chattanooga,
and furnish them with their stoves and cast
lngs. we are sorry TO lose this enterprise,
but will say that they could not have en-
ployed better gentlemen than they for their
business. We wish them well in their fu-
ture home.
MIR. J. 81. Craigmiles, our enterprising
citizen and president of our bank, who has
invested large sums of money for the de-
velopment of our section, has just returned
from business trip to the North, where
madam rumor says he has been investigat
ing the subject of cotton factories.
Rev. II. W. Bays, pastor of the M. E.
Church, has the fever in Florida, whittier
