Ala for the Destitute

The call for meeting, last Fri
day afternoon, of our citizens to lie.
wise ways and means to aid the
poor and destitute of our city and
surrounding county, was attended
by the best and most Influential
citizens of the tOwR. When the ex-
ercising of the greatest of all chris
tan graces become necessary, nc
people on the globe are more prompt
and quick act than the Clarks-
Williams.
On motion of Mr.. Ingram, Mr.. ID.
n. Kennedy was called to the chair,
and we, with that admirable dis
play of cheek, that comes as easy
and natural to the modern news
paper reporter as ga cocktail in the
morn," appointed ourselfsecretary.
Mr.. Kennedy in a brief address,
stated the objec! of the meeting.
On motion of Mr.. b. w. Macrae,
a committee of five was appointed
to solicit contributions. The chair
appointed B. w. Macrae, l.. Bloch,
Capt. j. j. Crusman, John Hurst
and Capt. Tom Smith. Several mo-
tions, by Mr.. W. J. Ely, Capt.
Crusman and Capt. Smith were offer
ed for ascertaining the extent ofsuf-
fering. A motion was offered by
DIR. LuptOn that committees from
each ward and several i'm the SUI
burbs be appointed to hunt out the
poor. The following names cem-
pose the committees: lst ward
John Rick; I'd ward-W. II. Bring
hurst; 3rd ward-G. b. Wilson; 18th
ward. G. Joseph; 5th ward-E.
Ii. Lewis; 9Th ward-H. G. Merritt;
9TH ward-F. l.. Smith; Sth ward
Clay Stacker.
Outside of corporation: M. V. In
gram, DIR. VIM. Finn, John Brad
ley, w. T. Dortch and Rev. S. Scott.
Mayor Crusman, John Hurst and
}. w. Reese, assisted by the city
officers, were appointed commit
tee to distribute the supplies and
solicit subscriptions. A note was re-
ceived from Capt. Gracey approving
the object of the meeting, regretting
that ill health prevented his attend
ance, enclosing an order from
Gracey q Bro. for 100 bushels of
coal, and check from DIR. Fits for
$500. The finance committee went
to work in earnest, and by noon
Saturday had raised upwards Of
$4OO in money and supplies, and "A
great number have been relieved.
But the funds in hand will not meet
the emergency or last a week unless
there is a change of weather or the
citizens can furnish some employ
ment.
Any one wanting to subscribe to
the fund, or give anything, can do
20 by calling on Capt. Crusman.

All Honor to our Coal merchants.


All Homer to Our Coal Merchants.
We cannot say too much in COM
mendation of our generous coal
merchants, Messrs. Frank p. Grgcey
& Bro, Keesee q Northington and
G. NJ. Whiteside, formerly j. S.
Woodson d Co., for the kind and
public-spirit in which they have
carried on their business this WIN
ter, with a keen sense of the inter-
ests of GAINESVILLE and her citizens.
We copy the following from our
contemporary and heartily endorse
/ every word of it:
4 IL there ever was a set of men de-
serving of the thanks and generous
support of Il community in business,
| they are our coal merchants. Not
withsts1nding the long coal famine,
and the prospect for continued
short supply, and the fact that coal
/ has advanced to almost double the
ordinary prices in other cities, and
/ would have commanded double the
price here, our merchants have con-
/ tinued selling at the same old prices
| that ruled during the fall, when
coal WAS plentiful and cheap, doing
all in their power to meet the de-
mand, dividing their limited sup
ply among the rich and poor alike,
TO prevent suffering, with instances
! of losses to their business. The
course thus pursued not only marks
them as men of the highest business
| integrity, true in adversely as well
as in prosperity, but distinguishes
them as benefactors Of great conn
munity, sharing in its distress,
when they might, with the most
consistent business propriety, profit
by its misfortune. Had coal adj
vanced here to twenty-five cents
per bushel, as in many places, hum
dreds of people would, beyond all
question, have suffered greatly.
But our merchants have continued
to sell at seventeen cents, deliver
ing it in lots so small that the profit
of three cents does not pay the cost
of hauling.
This feature in our trade should
be very encouraging to manufac-
turing enterprise. No. matter how
scarce coal may become in the mar
ket, the price does not advance, and
there is never any lack of effort to
keep the demand supplied. And
here we must give our railroad
some credit, too, for we believe the
company has done its best to keep
us supplied, in some instances send
ing a special engine to Guthrie
to pull in cOnsignments in time
to meet urgent demands, con-
sequently we have had fair sup
ply under the circumstances. In
addition to the spirit which has con-
trolled this manifestation we have
had reduction in the transporta-
ton of manufacturing coal, which
put down fuel as cheap as it could
be asked in any market. More,
there is no capital invested in fuel.
1t is delivered every day and con-
sumed before paid for.

At your request / write you about
the uses of "White Burley" tobacco.
1t is used for tine-eut, chewing and
smoking tobaccos. Also by the Vir-
ginia, eastern and western plug
manufacturers for filters instead OF
the dark fired tobacco as heretofore.
Therefore we have no competition
from United States manufacturers
for dark tobacco cured by fire; they
want bright air-cured tobacco, free
from gum. 1t can be produced on
any rich limestone lands, but re-
quires more barn room to prevent
house burning. | have just read an
article taken from the Western To-
bacco Journal, of Cincinnati, which
gives fully the mode of growing it
as it should be done, with all the
particulars of handling it much
better than I could do, therefore /
commend the article referred to, to
your readers that may want correct
information about it's cultivation.

never be live, go-ahead town until
she gets cheap coal. Cheap coal
will give us manufactures, and
manufactures will give us popula-
ton and wealth. The finest iron
ore in the world is at our very door,
but we cannot work it profitably for
want of cheap fuel, aud thus Knox
vile and Chattanooga are getting
ahead Of Us.
Congress is spending millions of
dollars every year on comparatively
unimportant streams in other states,
and certainly nowhere could the
public money be paid out to better
advantage than i'm furnishing an
outlet for the great quantity of coal
in the fields, along the river, above
US. Indeed the Importance of the
Cumberland both above and be low
is matter of great concern to
GAINESVILLE. In no other way can
we get competition in freights, and
competition, to us indeed, is the life
of trade.
We want congress to do something
for the upper Cumberland.

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.


We have reports from Nasville of
the balloting for senator. We re-
ceive them every day, and most of
our readers, no doubt, have seen
them. From these reports we CLEAN
the fact that Mr.. Maynard is the
strongest republican candidate and
Senator Bailey the strongest demo-
cratic candidate. The republicans,
however, are not at all united.
Judge Muse, of Jackson, West Ten
nessee, is polling d respectable re-
publican vote, while there are seve-
raj republican votes thrown to other
republican aspirants. Judge Horace
I'll. Harrison, of Nashville, gets
some votes and is thought to be a
real candidate. Senator Bailey IS
supported by a noble band of state
credit democrats, and if they can
continue the struggle with an UNI
broken front for few days longer,
his election will be assured.
Savage was accorded a compli-
mentary vote from % members for
the purpose of allowing him an OPP
portunity to retire and write a let
ter (Which he did thanking his
friends for their support, etc.
Gen. Bate has received a few
votes, but shows very little strength.
Mr.. Bright has received a support
of two or three votes.
The democrats are badly divided !;
so are the republicans, and no one
can tell definitely what will be the
probable result. We trust that Sen
ator Bailey viii beelected; we know
he ought to be. He has scores of
the ablest men in the state working
for him, and we are hopeful that all
will yet end well. 1t looks pretty
certain that no republican will or
can be elected.

SENATOR THURMAN, while dis
cussing i'm the senate the other day
the great abuse of the ranking priv
ilege by members of congress, took
occasion to say that it was stand
ing joke that members of congress
franked their shirts hume to their
washerwOmen, in order to get them
washed cheaper than they could in
Washington. We hardly think this
accusation could be brought against
many of the republican members,
for they have kept their "bloOdy
shirts" on hand ever since the war,
and have neither sent them home or
anywhere to have them washed.

THE OUTLOOK FOR CLARks-
WILLIE.


We are just now entering upon a
new year of business life, a year
which, thanks to that hope that
ever springs eternal in the human
breast, to most of US, fraught with
bright anticipations for the future
prosperity of our town and county
at large. But while we are all filed
with this generous hope, and are
rightly looking on the bright side
of things, ought we not to pause and
calmly consider whether the present
condition of our business and indus
tries is true harbinger of what we
all so anxiously hope for. Verify
this is an age in which the dreamer
and the fossil cannot longer Obstrucl
the wheels of progress and be re-
spected. In all candor, we think
this has been the condition of Clarks-
Vile and her people for years past.
1t is true we bestirred ourselves
after the great fire of April, 1873,
that almost DESTROYED our city.
That seeming great calamity proved
blessing in disguise, insOmuch
that where before had stood old,
dilapidated houses, crumbling under
the march of time, we now have
large, substantial and beautiful bus
mess houses that would be Orna-
ments to any city. But this was all
done within, we might say, one
year, a year i'm which our city was
crowded with wOrkmen and arti-
sans of all kinds, and GAINESVILLE
seemed reiuvenated and to be enter
ing upon a new era of prosperity.
But, alas, after the storm came the
calm, and for the years 1879 and
1880 we have not done the business
that we should. We do not say
that there has not been-a good deal
of business done here, but that we
might have u6nee more. swell,
what's the remedy opp some one will
say. ave are tired of these plati-
tudes about hard tinmes,' this eter-
nal carping for better times, unless
you can give US aa remedy" The
good sense and judgment of every
business man off Clarksville has told
him over and over again wherein
lies the curse. 1t is increased in
manufactures, railroad enterprises
and other like Industries. Tobacco
has heretofore been king with US.
The low prices, and the poor crops
that have been raised for year or
so rpast, admonish us that it bids
faiir to be so no longer. Then we
rmust turn our attention to other
pursuits, and, by energy and hard
work, foster and encourage them.
The shapeless masses and materials
are all around us; we must go to
work. Every enterprise of life,
from the simplest to the most COM
pick, has its necessary drudgery.
On the faithful performance of this
is founded all true success, and only
those who are willing to bear the
burden with courage, energy and
perseverance have any right to ex-
pect prosperity.

rpsHE UPPER CUMBERLAND AND
ITS GOAL-FIELDS.


Our esteemed contemporary, the
Tobacco Leaf, in a late issue, has
this to say:
The Cumberland river is very much inn
proved from this point TO the mouth, and If
our MEMBER of congress can secure a few
more appropriations 10 h expended betsoeen
his and he mouth, all WI -hasXe- been done
that the present system % wing dams can
accomplish. Then when the country is
ready for the expenditure of thousand
safiliOnS thSsCumberland may be damned,
but never locked.
1t is matter of no very material
difference to us how the improve
ments on the Cumberland are made
whether by system of wing
dams or lOcks-so that it is done in
the cheapest and most substantial
manner, but we rather think our e.
C. treats the great importance of the
improvement Of the upper Cumber-
land and its relations to the business
interests of GAINESVILLE rather too
lightly. We are glad to know that
so much has been done for the lower
Cumberland, and hope much more
may be done, but we insist that the
upper waters ought not to be neglect
ed. And why?
PERHAPS few of our readers are
aware that along the banks of the
upper Cumberland lies one of the
finest cOal-fields in America, being
indeed a portion of what is known
as the great Appalachian cOal-tield,
which extends from Pennsylvania
down through West Virginia and
into the mountainous portion of
eastern Kentucky and Tennessee.
The coal which we know as "Pitts-
burg" 1.-THE finest coal ever dug from
the earth) comes from this same
field, and is of the same general
quality as this upper Cumberland
e,al. The principal mineis only a
few miles above the point where the
Cincinnati Southern railroad crosses
the Cumberland, which is the head
of navigation for small boats in a
good stage of water. A petition has
been numerously signed at Nash
willie, requesting congress to make
an appropriation for locking and
damming the river so as to enable
coal barges to come down at any
season of the year.
The supply of coal is said to be
practically inexhaustible, and, if it
could be gotten out on the lower
Cumberland, could be supplied at a
rate much less than our Kentucky
coal now costs us.
If is estimated that FIVE cents a
bushel will pay for mining and
loading the barges; the cost of float
ing or towing it down the river
would be small, and it could proba-
hbly be supplied to us at price not
seeding ten cents bushel,
aRII agree that Clarksvllle viii

IN congress last week, during the
discussion of the new funding bill,
Mr. Speaker Randall left the chair,
the house being in committee of the
whole, and assumed the leadership
of the democrats. He won new
laureIs as leader and brilliant par
Humanitarian. In his reply to Mr..
Fort, of Illinois, who; in comment
ing on his speech, reflected upon
the effect of democratic legislation
upon the financial condition of the
country. Mr.. Randall, i'm brief
butstinging reply, said: 1.-THE DEM
Ocratic party, he knew, had been
charged with being IA party of repu-
diators. He was entirely satisfied
to let that charge stand in the light
of the fact that when that party
came into power money was at 100,
and was now at 3, and could be bOr-
rowed on the credit of a nation, in
stead of only on the credit of a
party, as the republicans had for
merly boosted" We wish there
were more Randalls in congress.
