On the 18th ult.. in this county, near Port
Royal, Mrs. FRANCIS ONEAL, aged rs years.
In this county, on the 10th ult., Mrs. VIR-
OMAN. HOLLAND, wife of ]. +. Holland
aged 30 years. ~ ,
; SAfond mother, devoted wife, and consis-
tent christian has gone TO join her many
friends in Heaven. H.
At Dover, Tenn, on October %, 1873, after
prOtracted illness, Mrs. SUE n. DYE, wife
of Rev. w. 7. Dye, and daughter of the late
n. II. Allen-aged 80 years.
She was q good woman. In mind and
heart she was of the very first order, culti-
waited and refined, she was fitted to adorn
any sphere in life. Amiable in disposition,
kind and gentle in manner, she was held
in warm affection by a large circle OF
friends and acquaintance. AS a wife and
mother, she had few superiors, performing
the duties of these high relations with
great fidelity.
She was a sincere christian, leading a
pure and blameIess life, clear in her con-
victions, firm in her purposes. her character
was beautifully consistent. Her life of piety
flowed with an even current, calmly stead
lily, and with increasing volume to its close;
and as she lived, so she died-in triumph.
Her sickness was long and painful, but she
bore her sufferings with fortitude, and was
resigned to the will of God. She is now with
the angels, enjoying the rapture ofHeaven.
Freed from sorrow and pain, she has enter
ed into bliss, and is crowned with unutter-
able glory. May we all meet the faithful
wife, the affectionate mother, the true
friend, and the pure christian in the home
of the blessed. ]. b. W.

for the Star Saw Mill in this city.
This trade is subject to ratification by

will take $500 paid up stock. The
company will then add capital to ena-
Bile facilities being afforded to make
5000 feet of lumber per day. Other
machinery will be added from time to
time, to work up the various kinds of
timber with which our country
abounds.

By late advices from New York we
learn that Jas. T. Smith and A. f.
Smith, well known to this community
and the tobacco growing section as men
of large experience in handling tobac-
GO, have made arrangements with Lock
wood & Croxson, of the Atlantic Dock
Company, of New York City, to open
q Tobacco Inspection and Storage
business in their large warehouse,
fronting 200 feet on East River, run
ming back 700 feet, 2. stories high,
which communicates with the various
piers of the Atlantic basin, by means
of double tramway. The Atlantic
Basin is the private property of the
Atlantic Dock Company. Itembraces
40 acres of ground, and contains 30
feet of water of sufficient depth to ad-
NIT the largest vessels entering the
port of New York, and has facilities
for loading five vessels at time at the
warehouse They propose receiving
and inspecting tobacco at the usual
rates charged by other warehouses.
This arrangement will be gratifying
to the friends of the Messrs. Smiths
throughout the entire Western Market,
and we feel assured that they will re-
ceive large proportion of the tobacco
shipped from this point

We spoke last week of the favorit-
ism of the Comptroller, in ordering
certain warrants to be paid, others not.
1t seems somebody else is after him
about it. 1t is all wrong. We believe
in fair play. Judges, Clerks and Sher-
if all earn their money andare all en-
titled to equal justice in payment, and
no priority.-1obdcco Leaf.
This is very commendable in the Leaf,
but we must correct the error under
which it is laboring. The first attack
on the Comptroller appeared in the
Nashville Banner, from a correspond
ent from this place, under the name of
Panic" nearly month ago, and the
idea worked its way into the Leaf
mans head, only last week. How fire.
quently great minds run in the same
channel" No stealing other peoples
thunder. Oh no!

Leaf Tobacco.

During the recent financial panic the
price Of tobacco was less affected than
that of any other Of the leading staples
Of the country. The crop this year Z
only an average one throughout the to.
bacco growing States, and now that
the danger Of war with Spain Il
over, and there Is a great improvement
in the financial prospects of the coun-
try, it is certain our tobacco planters
will get "a fair price for their tobacco
this season. We anticipate an earlier
opening of the market this season than
heretofore, if the weather is at all ia
vorable for stripping and pressing.
The farmers must have money to pay
taxes and buy the necessary family sup
plies, and as the merchants and banks
either have no moneyor are unwilling
to put it out in the shape of advances
on tobacco in the barns, the farmer
will be compelled to bring his tobacco
in as soon as he can possibly get it
ready.-Padmcoh Keatackian. :.

AN IMpoRTANTGRANGE MEETING.

The proceedings of the GAINESVILLE
Tobacco District Council, held in this
city. on the 1st inst, will be found in
to-day's paper. Seven Oranges were
represented. On account of no repre-
sentation from other counties, it was
resolved that the permanent Or
ganization of the Council be deferred
until Monday, Jan. 5, 1874. SO that the
whole district could be represented.
On that day it is expected that the en-
tire district will have proper represen-
tatives here, when a:permanent organic
alton will be effected. and much bust
ness Of Importance be transacted. We
hope to see full and harmonious meet
ing on that occasion. Recollect the
5. 1874. -
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1873-12-06

FROM their ADVERTISEMENTS to-day s
paper it will be seen that J. W. Keesee
and NJ. e. Northington, under style
firm, Keesee 4 Northington, have
charge of the GAINESVILLE Warehouse,
Harrison & Shelby's old stand, as to-
bacco and commission merchants.
They will pay special attention to
sampling and selling tobacco, and will
give constant and faithful attention
to the interests of the planter. Mr..
w. l.. Warfeld, their receiving and
shipping clerk, is now visiting various
portions of the country. He is a reli-
able, energetic young gentleman, and
we hope he may secure much business
for the new firm.
