MINOR INDUSTRIES.

That Tallahassee and Leon coun ty
would be vastly benefited by the
establishment Of manufactures OF
various kinds, is too plain to require
argument That it is high time some
effort should be made in that direc-
ton is conclusion that has at last
forced itself upon the intellects of the
people. 1t is good sign, and by it,
the citizens of the city and county
can conquer the difficulties of the
present situation if they, will. But
it must not be left for two or three,
or half dozen, individuals, of small
means and little influence, to accom-
plish for all, a result that each should
cheer fully do all in his power 10

Factory" of which Mr.. Geo. Green

agent. This enterprise, ipaugurated
without capital and in the face of
almost insurmo untable difficulties,
is making rapid progress towards a
bright season Of success. Beginning
with an output of only few
thousands per week, its orders now
promise a business that will
shortly require extensive enlarge
ment. Nothing but Leon county
tobacco is worked, and the cigars
manufactured have received no, hing
but the highest praise for flavor and
other excellent qualities; from the
best experts. 1

quality is periodically ana aprropri--
