Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1883-11-17


A Lynnvile correspondent of the Column
bia Democrat says: There has been some
thing tested here that has been argued for
some time, that is, that hog will weigh
more after it has been killed than when
alive. Mr.. Gray, a grocer at this place,
bought hog that weighed. on foot. 100
pounds, after it was killed and bled freely it
weighed, on the same scales, 200 pounds.
Can some of your scientists EXPLAIN
Letters are being continually received,
says the Guardian, by real estate agents and
other citizens of Tullahoma, from persons
living in Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Indiana,
Michigan, Ohio and other States, making
inquiries as to lands, locations for business,
etc., in our section. They want to know
especially what the outlook is for the estab-
lishment of manufacturing enterprises, such
as wagon factories, tanneries, cutleries, iron
industries, etc.
Tribune and Sun: If any one doubts that
real spirit of migration Southwark, and
particularly to Tennessee, is growing up in
the North. knowledge of the inquiries
from every direction about Tennessee, and
the number who are actually coming to all
parts of Tennessee, would remove all doubt.
They are coming, and mark our prediction,
they will come in larger numbers every year
until vacant lands in Tennessee will be hard
to find. 1t will take a considerable time
&c fill her up, but it is only question of
time.
Memphis Appeal In Sundays Appeal we
notified our readers that the Peru Bagging
Co., operating several mills in Indiana and
Illinois, proposes to remove the machinery
of its Peru Und.) factory to this city, and
here put up building with machinery and
accommodations for $50 hands to operate a
capital of Sl50,OO0. The officers of this con-
Germ are moved to this step by reason of the
immense advantages Memphis affords as
the centre of the cotton belt for the distri-
| button ofhome-made bagging to the planters
by river and rail.
The indictments against the physicians
| of Brownsville were disposed of Tuesday by
submitting an agreed case, with argument,
to Judge Carthel. Tie case was decided in
| favor of the defendants, the court holding
| substantially, that a prescription given
without a professional examination of the
applicant is not such prescription as the
| law contemplates, but that the penalty OF
| the statute cannot be enforced against the
physician in the absence of conclusive evil
dence of collision with the druggist, on the
| familiar principle of law that there cannot
be an accessory without a principal. In
order to convict the physician, an illegal
sale by the druggist and the participation OF
the physician in that sale must be proved
beyond a reasonable doubt.
