nsA- Our liberal and enterprisins friend and
townsnian Thos j. Munford, Esq, sometime ago,
purchased the property overlooking the Russeville
pike, just beyond the upper bridge, previously own
ed and occupied by MIR. +. L. Carney. Since his
purchase, Mr. Munford has been constantly improv-
ing the property with view to making it his future
residence. eryimportant alterations and improve
ments are now being made-among them, an cx-
teusive addition to the main building. The site OF
the house is well known ms one of the finest in the
countyoverlooking as it does, the bluffs and val
ley Of Red river, the Russellville pike, and the
magnificent railroad trestle-work and bridge over
Red river With all its natural advantages, and the
artificial adornmcnt now contemplated, and in pro-
gress, by Mr.. Munlord it will be made magnificent

pay- The present issue closes the 10th volume OF

N.Y. The present issue closes the 10th volume OF
the Chronicle since the senior editors connection
with IT, and the 2nd volume under the present
publishers control and management. We have
not had patronage that would justify the publi-
cation of such pater should like TO publish,
or as Clarksvie should now sustain but we have
done the best we could, under the circumstances,
and think we have rendered to our subscribers a
full equivalent for the money paid us. We are glad
too 10 know that our patrons share this sentiment.
We have labored hard, since our connection with
.he paper to improve it. and add TO the popularity
it had enjoyed and to render II desirable sheet TO
all classes of the community; and we are glad to
have assurance, from many friends, that we have
succeeded, in degree, in our efforts. We shall en-
deavor, hereafter 10 make the Chronicle still more
popular acceptable and useful to our readers, and,
as our success depends, in great measure, upon
the patronage extended to us, we ask each one OF
our present subscribers TO try TO get US new one
We believe that each Of them might do it, by mere
ly suggesting it to some friend or neighbor who
does not take the paper Every family in the
county ought to take county paper, but many Of
them do not, and little effort by our friends cost
ing them nothing would greatly help u.s. and enable
us to enlarge and improve the paper. Lend us YOU
aid friendsl If you know n neighbor, who does
not take county paper, ask him to take the ChToH
icle. Aid US thus, and We will then give you {
paper, enlarged and improved in proportion to thu
increased patronage we receive and worthy of ou'
great agricultural and commercial importance, ant

sea- The gas'will bcSttt on" the ''pateh dp-
piled" and our city Rhsmnatsd with gas-ight, to-
morror night we are told, eertainr We have all
been waiting, in patient expectation Of this event.
for some months past and hope to see it happen,
now, as the bills say. Col White has had to labor
against many serious obstacles, the principal OF
which was the difficulty of getting water He has,
however during the past week, had large force at
work, pumping up water from the river, by means
of an engine stationed on the bank, and hose ex-
tending to the cistern at the gas-works This pro-
ceedine has involved a heavy labor and expense,
but the Colonel went at il with WILL and the pros
pect is now that we shall hereafter have season OF
light, uninterrupted only phen the moon shines.
And this thought brings to mind our obligations
to that tame old moon for her services in the past
These Obligations weghty and pertain to all Of
us-at least to all who ever event bobin around
ov night and we should not, now, because we arc
going to have gas, get proud and forget the old
moonl Many weary step, in toilsome tramps,
has her skery light beguiled of half its tedious
ness, and Sany lovers trysting place has she
guarded ns hole sentinel and llumned, SO that the
lovers might see how to whisper closely and yet
avoid q collision Of Hps--an accident that often
happens when people talk love in the dark. But
now the romance of moonlight walks and moon
light talks, i about played out, and gas at 81 90
a thousand, ukes its place. We take leave of the
faithful old npon with feeling of lively gratitude
for her past services to us and with sincere wishes
that continued prosperity may attend her future in
tercourse with 'poor whites who can't afford gas
We may mcether, occasionally, hereafter, and when
we do, we shall endeavor to treat her with the cool
and lofty poltness due to a chaste maiden of her
advanced years but she must not expect, under any
circumstances, revive the intimate relations that
have existed bdween us. We now burn gas and
any expectationpf that kind on her part, cannot
be encouraged FIR a moment As we said, at the
outset we should not forget the old lady altogether
but we can only |emcmber her. and treat her, q
rich man does ipor relation-cooliy as not tc
compromise our dignity ono who uses gas, and
yet with show ofrespect so as not to forbid over
lures on our part, FIR renewal of amicable rela-
TONS ichen the Gastompany breaks!
