MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENTS
Tazewell Must Have Them, or Its Growth
Will End.

In the past FIVE years the growth of our
town and population and trade has been
very satisfactory. About five years ago
the population Of the town was in the
neighborhood of seven hundred souls. BY
a recent census, made by Mr.. John II.
Lewis, the population of Tazewell, within
the corporate limits, was found to be
twelve hundred and sixty-fve, an increase
of nearly ninety per cent. This increase
has been due to several causes, the build
ing of the Clinch Valley railroad and the
starting of small manufacturing enterprises
IN the town and at the station being the
chief factors in producing it, The growth
was healthy and substantial. and it ought
to be the earnest desire of every citizen to
see it continue.
In orr judgment there is one course that
must be pursued or tile town will not
move much more. There must be more
industrial enterprises started. Factories
to work up vast amount of fine timber
that lies all around us could be made val
liable investments. A knitting mill
wouldn't be bad Idea, land foundry and
machine shop properly run would pay
handsomely. There are many other en-
terprises that could be made profitable and
that would add greatly to the population
and trade of the town. Interest in such
matters will have to be awakened, or the
growth of the town will be stopped. The
town can't reach much higher point
in business and population by the simple
building of storehouses and dwellings.
