A Business Change.

Messrs. Ely & Kennedy of the
Elephant Warehouse in this city
have determined to close out their
business and will dissolve partner
ship. Mr.. Ely will be employed
by the firm conducting the new
Peoples warehouse, and Mr.. Ken
nedy will probably engage in the
tobacco brokage business. He has
not determined whether to remain
here or go to Louisville but we hope
he will come to the former cOnclu-
sion. Mr.. Ely is a man Of excep-
tlonaily fine business qualities and
has had long experience in hand
ling tobacco. He will be quite an
aquisitiOn to the new house.
The Elephant warehouse building
has been rented by Messrs. Herndon
Young & Co., who will use it as adj
ditional storage room for the Grange
warehouse. Ii is now the property
of Mr.. d. N. Kennedy.

la. q n. Railroad.

Major Gordon informs us that he
has perfected arrangements by
which he can push the railroad
through to Princeton without fur
Their delay. The grading OF the
third ten miles will be begun next
week. Rails for the second ten
miles have been shipped and the
ties IRE already piled along the line.
About 80 cars and a new locomotive
are ON the road and may be expect
ed here at any time. One hundred
and forty cars and two locomotives,
in all, have been purchased, more
than enough 10 equip the road in
good style.
Major Gordon has exhibited re-
markable energy in this undertake
ing. Just at this time, work on
railroads throughout the Union, Is
generally suspended. The financial
crisis brought about by numerous
bank failures, has retarded enter
prises OF this nature. It is very
creditable to Major Gordon that he
has kept up under the pressure and
that work on his road has been car
ried on with but little delay. This is
in the face ofthe fact, too, that $4,000
or Sc, 900 on local subscriptions to
bonds remain unpaid.
We are glad that the road will be
speedily built and hope that the re-
sumption of active operations will
silence the carper, the pessimist and
the individual afflicted wirh ''gen-
eral cussedness." who have each
been doing all they could to prevent
such desired contamination. The
building Of this railroad is import
ant to the very life of GAINESVILLE,
and we hope her citizens will do all
they can to aid in the enterprise.

The DAYTON Hedge Fences.

A party consisting OF a number OF
gentlemen from this county aud
several from Stewart county, went
up to Allensville. KY, Saturday to
inspect the hedge fence around the
farm of Mr.. w. 8. Gill, in that VII
entity.
Among those who went from
GAINESVILLE and vicinity We're Hon.
John f. House, Judge j. w. Scales,
Gen. w. A. QuarIes, M. ". Ingram,
Mr.. Polk q. Johnson, Hon. VIM.
NJ. Daniel, Judge G. w. Tyler, Hon.
G. g. Smith, Mr.. b. M. DeGraffen-
reid, Mr.. Merritt Hall and CHRoN-
IcLE man. DIR. s. w. Dawson and
A. V. Goodpastnre, Esq, joined the
party at Cherry's Station and Mr..
Preston johnson, at HamptOn's.
The following gentlemen from
Stewart county were with the par
ty: Esq. Robt. w. Steel, Mr.. III.
G. Thomas, Mr.. II. w. Lewis, Jr.,
Capt. Gabe Russell and Mr.. Thomas
ID. Toombs.
The fence that these gentlemen
went out to see was that prepared
by the Dayton Hedge Company. 1t
is exhibited in all stages of growth
on Mr.. Gill's farm, and shows up to
a remarkably fine advantage. On
the same farm may be seen the old
fashioned Usage orange hedge, and
the superiority OF the Dayton Com
pany's plan is made evident by the
striking contrast.
The country around Allensville is
a very fine farming section, being
level and remarkably fertile. Mr.
Gi1's tract is of this character and
well suited for showing up the hedge
in all its projections. A quarter of
a mile or more of this fence skirts
field to the rear Of his residence that
is indeed thing of beauty. 1t is
perfectly straight, of uniform
height, and covers no more ground,
in width, than plank fence would.
1t Is entirely lmpregnable to
stock and hogs, and it seemed to the |
reporter, might considerably i'm
pede the progress of hard pressed
rabbit.
We can't enter into all the details
of the manner I'm which the fence is
constructed. In that regard we re
fer our readers to the agents. Mr..
M. V. Ingram understands it very
thoroughly and will be glad to ex-
plain it to any one desiring such in
formation. To our way of thinking
it will prove God send to this tim
Der wasted country. The old rail
fences must be abandoned and they
can't be supplanted with anything
superior to the Dayton fence.
We heard no other expr' sion
from the practical farmers who in
spected the fence, but that OF perfect
They all agreed that
it was good thing and supplied
one of the greatest needs of the coun-
try.
A pleasant feature of the day was
a barbecue dinner with which Mr..
Gill entertained his guests. 1t was
elegantly prepared and
greatly enjoyed by the crowd. The
occasion was most pleasantly spent,
and the Tennesseans returned to
heir homes with very pleasant i'm
DressiOns of all they had seen in and
about Allensville.

We are informed that deaf and
dumb man by the name of lobe
DorIty, was struck by the north
bound freight train near Palmyra
Monday evening. The train was
going around a sharp curve near
the tunnel and was TOO near him to
check up before it struck HIM. His
collar bone was broken and he was
otherwise considerably bruised, but it
is thought he will soon recover. He
lived in the Ninth district of this
county. The train was stopped
and he was taken up and carried to
Palmyra and sent home from there.

OUR EXPOSITION.

To the Chronicle:
The Farmers Association propose
to hold their second Seed Show In
GAINESVILLE on the 1st or 2nd week
in December, 1884. II Is proposed
10 make this, not only an agricultu-
raj and horticultural show. but also
an exhibit of mercantile fabrics,
mechanical goods, ladies work, fine
arts, &c. Indeed The idea Is TO make
IL a Miniature Exposition, and TO
allow 1t to continue. il properly ap-
preciated, from three to five days.
1t il further proposed to give pre-
miums for the best exhibited OF all
articles, to be hereafter named upon
printel catalogues. Many of these
premiums. / have no doubt, will be
voluntarily contributed by private
parties, whilst Others will be sup
piled with money received for all
mission fees, which will probably
be fixed at about % cents for adults
and Is cents for children:
Though our Association is exclu-
sively farmers organization, we
would gladly extend the benefits OF
this enterprise to all persons of ev-
cry trade, or vocation, within this
and the surrounding counties of
both Tennessee and Kentucky, who
will unite with us In getting up
display that will do credit TO our
section OF country.
Or the benefits of such an enter
prise / feel that u is unnecessary to
speak, rs they may be plainly seen
by all intelligent persons. After
the close of our exhibit, we then
propose to send a part Of our agri-
cultural exhibit and other articles
that exhibitors may d ire, to the
New Orleans Exposition, i'm order
that the resources of our section
may be shown to the millions who |
will visit that great Worlds Fair
during its six months duration.
In connection with our exhibit at |
the Court House, we also propose to |
have "fat stock sh0sC' during tho |
same week at the most convenient
point that can be obtained for quar-
tering stock, which will also be OF
interest to many persons. / have
merely given an outline sketch Of
what is proposed, in order that 9TH
ers interested may take the matter
into consideration, and be prepared
to lend it such encouragement Ms
may be deemed best. Our Execu-
tive Committee will meet at the
Court House in GAINESVILLE on Mon
day, Sept. Goth, for the purpose of
the matter named, and
we would be glad to have pr 'ent
sucn others as may feel inter ted.
