SHEFFIELD
Furnace Fires Lighted, and On

Cheering Reports From the
 Tennessee Valley.

To the AgeHerald:
 SHEFFIELD, Sept. 7.-When the general revival of business is we'll or it's way Shef- field will be crediiably heard from. Oae of the five furnaces, the Hattie Ensley, went into blast this week and is running without hitch, having on yesterday put out 130 tons. This output will be steadily increased until an average of something like l75 tons is reached.
 The product is an excellent quality of foundry iron ,and the stock is shipped as fast as made, there being orders ahead for more than a month. The Hattie Ensley is under the superintendency of Mesers. W K. Saus- bury md John J. Moore and Manager J. H. Scott, all of whom are well known in Birmingham. It Is model plant, Ugh and dry, towering oyer the lofty south bank of the Tennessee. The yard is rLomy and clean, and every appointment perfect for the prompt dispatch of business.
 Renewed hope was kindled by the light ing of the furpace fires, and as the smCke from the tall stack toated over the pret y town, and the big engines tbrobbed, tLcy were at once signal and tocsin of lbe re- vival Of the faith of the brave and patient pioneers who chose this spot as @ site pecul- iarly fit for a manufacturing city. All honor to those who have stuck to our man. ufacturing towns through good and evil report. Let RDan ledQ ln tne IOT~ ward movement and all Alabama, with her matchless industrial resources, will feel the pulsations of healthful business activity. With the promise of restored activity in manufacturing, there is fine promise on every hand In this part of north Alabama of the best crops since the war. Merchants say the people, farmers especially, are in better condition than ever before-being less in debt and better provided against emergency. Farmers are not only more economical, but are more self-reliant they make much they erstwhile bought, raise meat where they used to pay two prices on credit for it, and this year the average farmer will feed his stock with the fruit of his own toll and his own soil.
 What heavy, disheartening burden upon the capacity and ehefsy of tho people of north Alabama has been this long un- paralled period of financial Arrangement What a blessed relief to see breaking through the gloom that has long, weary months shrouded the precincts of whilom busy enterprise, the ruddy beacon glow of new life, fresh promise and progressl
 It Is believed here that the three Cole fur naces will soon go into blast, as parties in- terested are Investigating the condition of the property, with view to early opera tion.
 There will shortly be an extension of iron ore mining in the Russellville valley, eight miles south of here. This will be ef- fected by the opening of the Hamilton ores, a quality of brown hematite, which Is said to have no superior in the south. The property was recently purchased by northern company. K.
