posing in appearance. There are
several manufacturing establish
ments, the Cleveland Wooden Mills,
running % looms, and weaving four
thousand yards OF cloth per week !;
the steam Touring mills, owned by
Mr.. Will Mansfield, late of Marietta,
Ga, who has made them Il success,
although all others failed before
him; the Cleveland foundry,
operated by Mclean & Co., are now
making cooking stoves and are be-
hind IN their orders; J. S. Hand
cocks sash and blind factory and
steam cotton gin, which paid hand
somely the past year; and lastly, the
Cleveland Marble Works, owned by
Lewis Williams, a native of Wales,
whose beautiful monuments are sold
extensively throughout the whole
South. There is in contemplation a
cotton factory to be erected, perhaps
with $4,000 capital stock to cons
mence operations.
W. G. p. Jones, OF Lon
don, was in Cleveland last
week, and sold his patent generator
for making gas to a company, who
propose trying the experiment OF
furnishing our people with more
light"
We are buoyant with hope that
the Western North Carolina Rails
road will push on to this point and
form thereby connection with Cin~
cinuati.
The East Tennessee Road is fixing
up the depot here, and it is rumored
that there Is to be a car-shed built
also.
Thtre are two weekly papers in
Cleveland, the Banner, founded be
fore the war, and the Herald, edited
by the little man W. S, Upton, who
by his energy and indomitable will,
has made a success of it, as it now
has a wide circulation among all po-
itical parties, and is one of the best
and Invest papers in East Tennessee.
Bradley and Polk Counties have
been considerably in the cotton bus
mess for the past two years. Last
season was very discouraging to the
small planters, who put in all their
ground in cotton, which was cut
short, with their guano bill to pay
and nothing upon which to make
crop for the coming year. But those
who are able to farm on o large scale
will increase their acreage this year.
j. FL. Parker, cashier of our bank,
will put IN cultivation 100 acres; ".
A. Denton, 100; d. E. Blankenship,
about so, and Erby Boyd, of Polk,
about 100 acres, where there will be
quite number of smaller planters.
This county has sold a few mules
this season, bat nothing in compari-
son with former years.
The health of this county and town
is good except a few cases OF pneu-
monia, which are proving very ia al,
! I. III. Jones and G. r. Hambright
died few days ago, both prominent
citizens Of Red Hill Valley.
! Occasionally we make departure
from Old customs, such as an add
ton of the orchestra to the M. E.
! Church choir, which certainly makes
delightful music. There is quite a
spirit of enterprise spfinglng up
among the people OF East Tennessee,
looking toward the erection Of useful
and paying manufactures, and [ am
! glad to see the younger portion of
cur business men interested in them.
! We wish Knoxville well with her
cotton factory, for what is remuner-
alive TO you IS profitable alike to all
| East Tennessee.
The following are a few of the
names registered at the Ocoee House
the past week. Hugh Kennedy,
Louisville, Ky Ken Wheeler, A p.

! The pretty weather is rapidly dry
ing the roads, which have been very
bad, indeed. The County Court has
put the work at six days, and fifteen
cents tax to keep them up.
