another Grand Enterprise.

And now ON the heels of the Merchants
Exchange, the cotton factory, the boot
and shoe factory, and other recently estab'
lished enterprises here, we have the fine
prospects of an immense institution at TINS
point in the shape OF beef refrigerating
process, which will slaughter here several
hundred beeves per day. to be placed in
cars at a temperature of some forty degrees
and shipped to ali the leading points in the
United States. With this must come AZ
sorts of collateral manufactures and build
ipgs. such as tallow, oleOmargarine,
bone-dust, etc., etc. This will give to D aIc
las business of from $250,0O0 to $500, 900
per month. At this grand focal ,poiLt, too,
is the place to stall and fatten the beeves:.
This will require sheds, and all manner OF
attention, feed OF various kinds, etc. The
hide business also will loom up conspicu,,
ously as a great branch of trade. And
thus, one by one. as ripe apples into the
lap, drop into our limits the important ele-
ments that make city great and wealthy.
