WE appreciate the article written BY
1 warehouseman this week for the
CHRONICLE. Others should write and
give the public general and special in.
formation concerning the capacity OF
the GAINESVILLE market, the foreion
countries to which the various grades OF
tobacco are shipped, and such other
information as to buyers and statesmen
and the manner OF selling as will be
interesting to the public. An intelli-
gent man engaged in handling and
dealing in tobacco can do this much
better than any newspaper man and we
will install any gentleman in our edito-
rial chair while he writes up the slo-
ries oil the GAINESVILLE King;

SALVATION.

With this issue Of the CHRONICLE
take charge Of its editorial department
and in assuming the duties OF the posi-.
ton | desire to say word as 10 the
general plan on which the paper will
be conducted.
The advancement OF the interests Of
GAINESVILLE and OF all parties connected
herewith, commercially and socially.
shall be the central and controlling puf-
pose OF my work. Business, on com.
mon sense principles, shall be applied
topromote the prosperity of all our in
dustries, and the extension OF Clarks-
ville's railroad facilities will find in the
CHRONICLE an earnest advocate.
In this busy ageIthe practical always
wins, and the city or community
thrves best when the united energy
and capital Of all is prudently and in
diligently directed TO the accomplish
ment of any given purpose. Unity IN
council and harmony in action is re-
quired to make GAINESVILLE a CONNER
cial and manufacturing center, for men
have learned by experience (if may |
use the expression) that the centripeta
and centrifugal forces OF dollar de-
pend greatly upon the intelligence by
which its power is directed.
Politically the CHRONICLE will bt
thoroughly democratic, yet while pur-
suing the even tenor Of its way it will
never suggest to its friends the necessi-
ty OF new confession of faith at the
opening OF every summer campaign.
The CHRONICLE is one of Clarksville's
Oldest institutions, dating back to 1909,
its editors and publishers have been
men of talent and influence and il c
n ..iiisors anongi its readers many of the
best citizens of this and adjoining coun- 8
ties in Tennessee and Kentucky. O
J. would hesitate to assume the re- o
connected with the edto r
'ial control of such paper were it not t
or the fact that | am no stranger to ;.
he people OF GAINESVILLE and of Mont :.
,omery county and among them ] a
lave friends whose criticism will never
)e unkind.
Fortunately too, begin my work
u.s. as time has brought that tide il |

erly hope will '1ead on to fortune. :
have received many tokens of kind Il
Tess from the people and press ofGKen- CT
ucky and Tennessee, and on rejoining Il
he fraternity l anticipate great pleas IL
ire in renewing old acquaintance and :,
gain taking part with those faithful o,
oilers whose labors are devoted to the dt

An Unnatural Parent.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-Charley Waller,
aged ~ years, living at No. 10 Zion
place, was tempted to run out and
play last evening without his fathers
consent and came near paying the
penalty with his life. The neighbors'
boys with whom he had committed
the transgression peeped in at the
back yard to see what had become of
their playmate after he had betn
dragged in by bis father. They were
shocked to see him banging to n post
In the wood shed apparently dead. A
rope had been passed around his neck
and chest and his arms were extended
and tied to other points of the wall.
He was black in the face and uncon-
scious. A boy, from the horrified
youngsters, and Kate Livorat, q do
mestic from the adjoining house,
went to see what the matter was.
She seized hatchet and cut the child
down, then picked him up and car
ried him into her mistress house,
where means were taken to restore
life. When these were partially sue
cessful he went into violent cOnvul-
sions. 1t was an hour before the child
could stand. His father had tied him
up, and upon complaint was arrested.

Jim Pilkington, Of New York,
agrees to take mate and bowl q
match at head pins against any two
men in America for $3.50 or 5000 a
side. He proposes to roll ut from
900 to 5000 balls in three or five
days.
The horse that some judges regarded
as the best in the world, Commotion,
OF the Australian turf, was recently
lamed by blow from hammer. One
thousand pounds have been offered for
the conviction of the perpetrators.
Axel Paulsen, the champion ater
OF Sweden, who beat every oae over
here, issued challenge to the world
for 81 900 trial of speed. Hugh J.
Mccormick, of st. John, N. B., has
accepted the challenge, and has depos.
tied forfeit to skate ten miles for that
sum.
The visit of William Beach, the Aus
tralian oarsman, to England, has been
postponed. Neil Masterson has chall-
enged him to row on the Paramatta
River, and Beach has not only accept
ed this challenge. but has offered John
Teemer $500 for expenses if the match
is for 81, 500 a side, OF 81 900 if for
$1,000 side. Teemer at last accounts
has decided to sail for Australia.
O'Leary and Weston have both
travelled over half OF their $500 mile
journey. They walked in Rochester
last week, and this week they are in
Buffalo. OLeary has nov the lead by
about forty miles, which he obtained
by the lameness and illness of his vet
eran opponent, and he believes he is a
sure winner of the race. Weston,
however, has recovered from his disa-
oility, and has no fears but that he will
overtake Daniel and come out ahead.
The men have four weeks yet to walk,
and they will probably finish in Chi
cago.
