Wheat has disappointed the farmers considerably
in the yield, and rs cents are readily paid at our
mills in town for prime qualities The falling of
in weight Is unprecedented. Corn promises a full

~ Asa local measure to add to the trade Of
Clarksvile, we think that good turnpike road,
running from this place on the shortest and cheap
est route TO Dickson County OF even on 10 Char
loue, would be very desirable. II would develoPe
a section Of country which makes some of the
fanciest tobacco, and would bring here consider
able trade which is now done elsewhere. We hear
that men Of means along the route wo1ld freely
and literally join In the enterprise. So It but re-
quires little energy and liberality on the part Of
our citizens to accomplish this improvement This
road with branch from the present road towards
Russelvie, diverging this side of the LIST toll gate
and penetrating towards Trenton are too impor-
tsnt, and the danger Of great loss by not con-
structing them too imminent for our ciizsns idly
10 look at them and do nothing. We prefer the
