cLARxsvLLs's PROSPECTS.

No town of its size in the State does
anything like the business that is done
in GAINESVILLE. Visitors here from other
points are astonished at the energy and
enterprise OF our citizens, and at the
evidences OF progress and goaheaditive-
ness all over the town. New tobacco
warehouses are being erected, hand
some private residences are being built,
and one finds everywhere abundant
proof that Clarksville is a real live town
and that it is growing at rate and in a
way that is most gratifying to property
holders and to citizens OF the town gen
orally. Our new railroad when COM
pleted will undoubtedly bring large
increase OF trade to the town, tapping a
section of country we have never reach
ed before, and with two railroads and
the Cumberland river, GAINESVILLE has
solid foundation for prosperity, and we
firmly believe her growth from this time
on will be rapid and her improvement
permanent.
The system Of locks and dams which
Congress has at last agreed TO provide
for the upper Cumberland, ought in q
little while to give us competition in the
coal line. The upper Cumberland coal
lies in the same great field which EN-
braces Pittsburg, Chattanooga and Bir-
mingham, and is the finest coal in
America if not in the world. The Ken.
lucky coal is wholly different forma-
ton, and though excellent for many
purposes, will not compare for manu-.
featuring purposes with what is known
as the Pittsburg coal. Our new rail.
road will bring this Kentucky coal much
nearer TO us, and undoubtedly will
cheaper the price, but if navigation in
the upper Cumberland is SO improved
that barges may be floated down from
the coal mines to GAINESVILLE, the ex
pense OF such transportation will bt
slight, and we will get at low price
coal that is unexcelled in the world iol
manufacturing purposes.

TENNESSEE DEMOCRACY

The Democrats have carried the State
by majority OF about $4,000 The last
county reported few days ago, and the
official majority in the State is "a ,429.
This certainly does good deal better
than two years ago, when the Demo-
cratic nominee for President carried
Tennessee by about ten thousand ma
jority, and the nominee for Governor
carried it by less than seven thousand.
It is also worthy of note that the Re-
publicans have not fallen off to any
considerable extent in their vote they
have stood by their party and their
nominees as they always do The DEM
ocrats, however, have walked up and
gone to the polls and discharged their
duty. Nearly twenty-five thousand more
votes were polled for the Democratic
nominees in 1886 than in 1884, and it
was this stay at home vote which has
swelled our majority so enormously
and proven Tennessee to be the reliable
Democratic State which she would have
been all the while if her qualified voters
had taken an interest in public affairs.
We sincerely hope there will be no
falling off in our majority in November.
The Republicans have been looking
longingly and anxiously to Tennessee,
and some OF them have been so foolish
as to place her in the Republican ranks
at the next Presidential election. They
have been encouraged by our constantly
diminishing majorities to hope that in
1883 they would completely change the
political status OF the State and take it
forever from the Democratic ranks.
But our victory on the first Thursday
in this month has shown them that they
were reckoning without their host, and
if we will all repeat the dose in Novem-
Der our political foes will be so nauseated
that they will not make an effort two
years hence. We may not all like the
nominee. but the object of Democratic
convention is to choose between con-
ficting aspirants, and somebody must
always be dissatisfied. Let us support
Taylor and the whole ticket, State and
county, heartily, and give them q rous-
ing majority at the next election.

that that that road will be completed

dispensable. Now is the timeato make

The principal features of difference
between a state and national bank are
that the former does not require a re-

Ia required to invest IL per cent OF its
capital stock in United States bonds, to
be held as redemption fund, and per-
nr{s of the issuance of notes for curren-

Drain Tiles and Floods.

Let us consider the agency of drain
tile In producing the Ohio floods. More
than $4,000 miles of drain tiles had
been laid in the State since 1876. The
fever has ragged throughout Indiana
and Ohio with equal violence; and,
though / have no official report of the
work done there, / feel confident am
safe in stating that in the three States
more than 100000 miles have been laid.
Now let us consider the effects. The
general surface of this whole region is
so level that it abounds in swamps,
sloughs, and areas Of low, wet land,
of greater or less extent. There is
hardly farm which has not more or
less Of such land, which heretofore has
been useless, but which, when drained,
has proved to be the most productive
land on the farm. These areas, conse-
quantly, have been everywhere the
tirs5 to be drained, to the immediate
and manifest improvement of the pro
ductiveness Of the farm. and equally
OF the health of its occupants. But. on
the Other hand, these areas have here
fore been Ire reservoirs into which the
rams and melting SHOWS Of all the
tributary surface have slowly cound
their way by infiteration. and after
days and weeks, during which eyapora-
ton was constantly in progress, the sur
plus overflow has reached the river.
Now they have been provided With
artificial substitutes for natures slow
methods, and the immediate discharge
is secured Of all these natural reservoirs
through the drains, which carry off in
a few hours an accession Of waters that
would otherwise have reached the river
only by comparatively small INSTALL
ments, after percolating for weeks, per-
haps months, through sloughs and
swamps, and losing large portion by
evaporation This effect is perfectly
obvious and undeniable; and, taking
into account the almost Incredible ex-
tent to which this work of drainage has
been carried, is the result dispropor-
tionate to the cause ?-ItlipoiS Letter

Explanatory.

Last week when the Monday edition
of the HERALD came out many inquired,
What is the matter? Has the HERALD
busted, that it is reduced to this size?r
They did not call to mind that il was IS
sued several days ahead of the usual IS
sue. They did not read the explanation
of the reasons for the issue of the semi
weekly. They were ike the person who
gets an unexpected letter and puzzles
long over the address, guessing who
wrote it and what for, instead of open
ing it, reading it and finding out all
about it.
The HERALD is issued semi-weekly for
two reasons: first, sto get more room;
second, to get the news to its readers
while it is fresh. The Thursday edition
will be the same size and general make
up as the weekly HERALD has been.
The Monday edition win be a tive-col-
umn folio, and in spite of its small size
will be found to contain an immense
amount of reading matter, The price
viii still be $3.50 a year.
