WARD I.
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1882-12-09

On Sunday morning last, Mr..
Berry Lyle, living just beyond new
Providence on the Dover road, had
the misfortune to lose his dwelling
house, kitchen, stable ETC., by fire.
The evening before he had been out
calling on some neighbors, and re-
turning about ten O'Clock, he was
suddenlyawakened by the cracking
of fire and found his room filled
with smoke and the mantel piece
and floor on fire. He ran to the
cistern in his yard for water but
found the pump out of fix and no
water could be drawn. He tried to
raise an alarm but none of his
neighbors were in hearing distance
and he was powerless to save his
house or contents. He managed to
save from the burning building his
wearing apparel and one bed; ev-
erything else was consumed. The
house and Outhouses burned very
rapidly, being frame and the night
windy. The contents of the kitch-
en- and stable were also burned.
His loss is estimated to be about
5000, partly covered by insurancs
in the agencies of Mr.. G. N. Byers
of this city.
Mr.. Lyle seems to be peculiarly
unfortunate in his losses by fires,
this being the second time within
eight years he has lost his dwelling
house.

Subscribe for Your Home Paper.
The Lords of creation who meet
us with the remark, when asked to
subscribe for their county paper,
"Oh, don't care to subscribe for
local paper, it doesn't interest me.
1 want a paper that gives me the
news daily and tells what is trans
piring all over the world" should
reflect for a moment and remember
that if 1t doesn't interest them, it
certainly is great source of pleasure
and enjoyment, as well as instruc-
ton, for their wives and children.
The good wife whose domestic
duties keeps her close at home,
almost entirely out of society, does
not care for foreign news, telegraph
ic dispatches and the affairs of the
world at large, but she does take a
heartfelt pleasure and delight in
what transpIres at home among the
people of her acquaintance in town
and county, and looks for the week.
ly coming of the local paper with
eager welcome, and reads of the
goings and comings, of marriages
and deaths, and general local hap
penings with keen zest and the
closest interest. Your children also
find much to entertain, interest and
inform them in its pages and always
look for its coming with delight.
No good husband or father should
deprive his household of this cheap,
but wholesome means of pleasure
and information. Every good citi-
zen should subscribe for his home
papers. They are his best friends
and do more to build up and en-
nance the general prosperity and
growth Of the community than any
other influence. A good local paper
always reflects the spirit and pro-
gressiveness OF a people and is
always looked to by strangers as an
index to its business and social en-
terprise. On ourOutside this week,
we republish an article taken from
the Pulaski Citizen, giving few
reasons why your local papers
should be taken in preference to
foreign ones, which we hope every
citizen of this county will read.

Reaufnul Sogrenfrs.

We have received from the we'll
known Boston publishers. Messrs.
Lee d Shepard, "Ring Out Wild
Bells" those beautiful and touch
ing stanzas OF the Poet Laureate of
England, bound, in what is no
doubt destined to be, their famous
"Golden Floral" series. The style
in which these impressive and ever
new and exquisite lines are pub
lished, is what we wish to call es-
pecial attention to. 1t is simply
beautiful, tasteful, elegant and can
not fail to charm and delight the
most exacting person. Each book
has a cover on which is wrought
the most beautiful floral designs
upon a gold ground and each of
these designs has been chosen so as
to be in perfect harmony and SYM
bolism with the spirit of the poem.
The edges of the cover are orna-
mented with heavy silk fringe,
thus enhancing the beauty and fin
ish. AS souvenir for the Christ
mas holidays, birthdays, Easter or
a single volume or full
set of the Golden Floral series is
certainly the most chaste, refined
and unique presents that one could
give. "Ring Out Wild Bells" is on
ly one of the series; there are seven
other different but familiar poems,
all exquisitely illustrated and |
charmingly bound. Address Lee
& Shepard, Boston, Mass. |

WE regret to hear of the loss by
fire, on Saturday afternoon last, of
the residence of Esq. Calvin Pat
rick, in district No. IL, this county.
The house was a new frame build
ing, recently completed, and the
loss will fall heavily on the Squire.
1t is supposed to have caught from
sparks falling on the roof. Squire
Patrick was absent from home at
the time attending the funeral of his
sister. We learn that most of the
furniture was saved, though in a
damaged condition. We believe
there was no insurance on the
property.

nanfh of Coz G. 4. HENRY.

His many friends, relatives and
acquaintance in this city, were
deeply panied on Monday morning
last, to hear of the death of Col.
Gustavus A. Henry, which sad
event occurred at his home, in Tus-
cumbia, Ala, on Sunday morning,
the Bird inst, at the age of A years.
Col. Henry was the third son of our
late lamented Mai. G.. A. Henry,
the honored and far-famed eagle
Orator" of Tennessee, and was born
and reared in this city, where he
had many warm friends, won by
his genial, highly polished manners
and many admirable traits of mind
and character and his chivalrous,
gallant bearing during the late war.
He was Colonel and Inspector Gen.
eral of the Army of Tennessee,
during the commands of Johnston
and Hood, and served at all times
with the closest attention to duty,
commanding the highest respect
and confidence from his superior
officers. Soon after the war he
married a daughter of Ex-Gov.
Winston, of Alabama, and has lived
in that State ever since, largely
in planting. His wife,
but, we believe, no children, sur
wives him. All who knew him
will sincerely mourn his untimely
death. The heartfelt coincidence
of the community is extended his
brothers and other relatives, who
live among us.

AS is the use of adulterated Baking
Powder, thousands are daily eating it
in their bread unmindful of its des-

Pure Baking Powder is an indispen-

in its manufacture has made it almost
impossible to buy it in that state, and
