THE New MARKET HoUSE.-Mr
j. b. Tapscott, architect, has shown
us design Of the new Market House
The building is to be forty feet wide,
running back one hundred and thir-
teen feet. The first floor, front, will
contain an engine room, the police
hall and calaboose-the latter divided
into two apartments, one for males
and the other for females. A flight
of stairs lead from the ground floor
to the second story, where there are
rooms for the Mayor and Recorder,
with private offices and n room for
the policemen. The Market House
proper is one story high, eighty-six
feet long, and has three principal
entrances on each side ten feet wide,
one five feet wide, and one in the
rear ten feet wide. There are parti-
tons dividing the butchers stalls
from the side stalls, the former of
which are nineteen feet in the clear,
and the latter nine feet-all of which
will be under cover, protected alike
! from the rain and cold. The side
doors to the principal entrances will
be fixed on wheels, which will ren-
der them easy to open or close.
The main building is to have n
hattened roof, with projecting cor
nice, presenting n gable front, and
surmounted by an ornamented belfry.
| The wall to be thirteen inches thick,
the entrances and arches buttressed
at the intersections. The whole build
ing Is so arranged that 1t can be en-
| largcd or extended, as circumstances
may require, without detriment to
the general effect. The plan embra
ces excellent ventilation, modern
style, and architecture adapted to the
character of the building. The APP
IproXimate cost of the structure is
$4,000. The city authorities are for
tunatc in having secured the benefit
Of Mr.. Tapscoott's talent and taste in
this matter. His high social and pro-
fessional standing guarantees the
completion Of the project TO the sat
isfaction of all concerned if the direc-
ton of the work is left in his hands.

n IMPoRTANr CHANGEe In THE
MANAGEMENT OF THE FAIR. I'VE
publish elsewhere the proceedings OF
a meeting of the Directors Of the
Montgomery County Agricultural
and Mechanical Association, from
which 1t will be seen that several i'm
portant changes have been made in
the management of the Annual Fair.
In future all exhibitors of stock OF
anything intended for exhibition
will be allowed to do so free of charge.
BY this liberal arrangement the only
source of income to the stockholders
will be the entrance fees to the Fair
Grounds. This should, and doubtless
will, attract much greater concourse
of visitors, and add largely to the list
of articles for exhibition.
The Directors are also authorized to
solicit subscriptions to make a trot-
ting track, where stock can eshown
to advantage, and thereby add an
other important and interesting fea-
ture to our Fairs in the future.
Now that, the stockholders have
manifested a laudable disposition to
do all in their power to render such
occasions interesting and profitable to
exhibitors and visitors, we hope that
a corresponding feeling will pervade
with all classes to help do something
to build up and amply sustain this
home association. Let everybody
get up something-the greater the
variety the better--to add to the dis
play at our forthcoming October Fair,
which will commence OH the Goth and
conunne tor four days. We think the
Directory have acted wisely in short
enlng the time of holding their ex-
hibition-for by proper management
in putting things through ION the fast
line" they will keep up the interest
and result more favorably in finan-
cial and other points Of view. Again,
we say, let us all go to work in ear
nest, and by concentrated effort re-
lieve our Association of all embar-
easements, and secure everything req
uisite to make our next October ex-
hibition one that will gain the admi-
ration and liberal patronage of the
public.

The FRUIT CRoP.-We have con-
versed with gentlemen from different
portions of the county, and Interstate
ments concerning the fruit crop differ.
Some state that in certain neighbour
hoods it is killed outright, whilst in
Others it is injured but slightly
About one-half of the crop of last
season was killed, which proved to be
a blessing, as at first there was su-
perabundant budding, and enough
was left to insure large yield of well
matured fruit. Hope it may be the
case again this year.

FLoURrNa MILIs, ETc.-No eity

FLoURINs, MILLS, ETC.-No city
or section boast of better Touring
mills than can our city and county.
We have some ten or twelve within
an area of fifteen miles, all first-class,
owned and managed by gentlemen
every way worthy and reliable. Hav-
ing soil that produces fine wheat,
and mills run by the most approved
machinery, the flour made here and
sent TO foreign ports receives the brand
of No. l in any market.
This department Of trade is also
much more extensive in its operations
than would appear to the casual OBJ
server. Our millers, this last season,
expended not less than 100000 for
wheat. We are not fully posted, but
believe this will fall short of, rather
than be above the figure. This being
true, we are led to ask, what becomes
of the money! 1t passes out of the
well lined vaults of our banking
houses into the hands of our millers,
then into the pockets of our planters,
but where do they expend 1t for their
needed supplies? We fear that but
little of it is left in the cash drawers
of our merchants.
We recollect the time when our
grocers supplied the surrounding
towns with their stocks, but at pres
ent much of this trade is directed to
other points. There is no good rea-
son for this, and if the proper means
be used, most if not all of this trade
can be regained. The grocery mer-
chants of Clarksville keep full and
complete stocks, brought from the
best markets, at prices that will en-
able them to compete with those of
any city, and they can and will do rs
well for the country merchants and
planters as Louisville or Cincinnati.
They are offering inducements to this
end, and we hope that in the future
the planters of the surrounding coun-
ties, after selling our tradesmen their
wheat, tobacco, ETC., will look at
home, and give our enterprising mer-
chants a chance to prove that they
can make it to their interest to pur-
chase their supplies at this place,
thereby helping to sustain those who
pay liberal prices for every article of
produce sold in this market.
