sense Of weight in the back, loins and

About month ago, Mr.. j. 7. Sexton,
who lives near the seven-mile Jerry,
said to % CHRONICLES man, ave will
have no more rain Of consequence I'M
til Aug. To- In the light OF subse-
.quent proceeding on the part OF the
weather, it seems that Mr.. Sexton ID
entitled TO be chased among the pro-
phets. After four weeks OF drouth,
promptly on the 10th OF August, which
was last Monday, cloud came from
the west, the floods descended and the
rains beat upon us
There was nothing occult or weird
about Mr.. Sections vatieination. 1t
was based on principle by which "old
folks" have insisted On gauging the
weather ever since the world begun.
He was going by the moon; that lu-
minary, to use the popular term,
changed last Monday.
1t is marvel to us that Mr.. Sexton
made such happy hit in the prophe-
cy line, and we can't suppress suspi-
cion that his success was an accident.
The moon goes through its successive
phases in the most regular manner
possible, but there is nothing more ir-
regular and uncertain than the cham
ges in the weather. Again, the action
of athe orb Of night is universal and
rains are always more or less local.
While we were in the midst of the
drouth here they had a young deluge
up in Chicago. II Mr.. Sexton had
made his prophecy in the 10Th district
of this county, he would have lost his
for they have had no rain
thereat all. While it was raining here
Monday, it was as dry as bone at Guth
RE, but it rained there next day. This
would seem to imply that the moon
changes one day later in Kentucky
than it does in Tennessee.
While Mr.. Sexton hit the mark this
time, we don't believe his rule will do
to work by. At any rate we will vent
ure to advise those who have anything
to hazard on the weather, to
'Swear not by the moon,
The inconstant moon"

Street Railway 20 be BEilt IN Clarksviile.
One thing as much as another that
marks the emergence OF small town
into one of more metropolitan pre-
tentions il the establishment OF a
street railway. GAINESVILLE with its
many evidences OF progressiveness
and prosperity has reached that point.
Application was fled Monday for a
charter for the @Clarksville Street
Railway Company" The incorpora-
tors are ]. r. Shelton, H. H. Tharpe,
A. Howell, @. G. Smith and Ed. T. Luz
cas-. The line will be run from the
public square out FrankIn street to
Tenth, thence by the Louisville &
Nashville depot to- Madison, down
Madison to Third and thence back to
Franklin. M
The names of the gentlemen who
have undertaken the enterprise give
assurance that good Judgement has
been exercised as to the probability
of the project and that it win be
promptly carried out and well man
aged. Mr.. Shelton, we understand, Is
the prime mover IN the undertaking.
He has investigated the street railway
business in other cities and is certain
that it can be made to pay in Clarks-
vile. s IL
The CHRONICLE would like to re-
mark, simply as suggestion, that
single line of road running from some
point near the city cemetery ON
Spring street, through the business
portion of the city to Commerce
street. Thence to Seventh and out
Avenue with a branch
track from the corner of Seventh and
Commerce to the L. & N. depot, would
be the most profitable street car track
that could be laid in Clarksville. 1t
would take in the whole town more
completely than any other route and
reach both of the depots. 1t would
not be necessary to run cars to the
L. & n, depot except when trains
are due, and the branch track on
Commerce street would supply the
wants of both Franklin and Madison
streets.

experience in the livery business and
