clsrAsvIlis as a Cram Market.

II MAS predicted some time ago that
Clarksyille, through the building Of the
]. "A. ct. Railroad would be in a no
sition TO successfully compete with
Hopkinsville and other points In hand
ling wheat. The first result was the
building OF the Central Roller Mills, by
Messrs. Kendrick, Pettus & Co, one OF
the most modern aud complete -four
mills in the state. This Mill has re-
ceiyed since the opening Of the new
season, 1S9 car loads Of wheat, over the
/. A. & T. and over 300 wagon loads,
delivered by the farmers with their own
teams. The mill has run constantly
night and day and has had demand for
every barrel OF -four made and every
sack OF bran. The bulk OF this wheat
has been drawn from a section OF coun-
try heretofore the exclusive property Of
Hopkinsville. II has brought with it
new customers for our tobacco ware
house and new purchasers Tor our gro
ceries and dry goods. But to show con-
clusively that GAINESVILLE is secure in
her position we call attention to the
sale ofseventy car loads OF wheat ~
Newstead, KY, Saturday the 10th inst,
This wheat was the property OF several
large farmers in the vicinity, and was
sold at auction to the highest bidder
Hopkinsville was represented by three
millers and one grain dealer, Nashville
by one miller and GAINESVILLE by Ken.
drick, Pettus u Co., it will be seen al
once that GAINESVILLE had the combined
milling interest OF Hopkinsville tc
freight, yet in the face OF all competi
ton, Messrs. Kendrick, Pettus & Co,
secured 81 car leads out OF the sevens,
offered for sale. The farmers in the
Newstead country should make note
ofthis. Without the competition offered
by the Central Mills, their wheat woulC
not have brought sixty-five cents pei
bushel, as there was no disposition a
any time among the Hopkinsville mil
lers to bid against each other. Tn,
following crops were bought by Messrs
Kendrick, Petiaas & Co: l. r. Caudle
% car loads; Sam E. White, 10 ca
loads; E. III. Anderson, 9 car loads
Howard Stowe, 8 car loads; ]. A. Sallie

These gentlemen are large aud in
fluential farmers and know a goot
thing when they see it. We regarC
this sale as the best advertisement 70
GAINESVILLE she has ever had among tn
farmers of Christian and Trigg coun
tie. We have walked-away with tn
tobacco trade Of Hopkinsyille, and i
looks as if the grain trade WIS destine'
to follow suit.

in Columbus--in fact, may be said 10
be a favorite. He has made a reputa.
ton in "Silver King" OF which any
actor might be proud, and our theatre
going people we're exceedingly anxious
TO see him in another play. Last nigh,
they were gratified, and this emineII
actor demonstrated that he is no less an
actor OF ability in other plays. He ID
unquestionably one OF the leading actor:
of the day, and can well sustain himself
no matter what role he assumes.
AS to the play last night he took the

Shark fishing is carried on to a consid-

The species of shark caught is the

solely for the sake of the Of! yielded ~
the liver, the rest of the carcass being
usually thrown away, though sometimes
the flesh is preserved for food. The
sharks vary much in size. running up to
eighteen or twenty feet in length, and
four to five feet in diameter through the
thickcst part Of the body, the yield Of oil
from each liver varying from four or five
up to fifty gallons. Rich liHcrs yield
tWo-thirds Of their bulk of oil, poor ones
only about onc-holf.
The vessels used in shark fishing are
for the most part small schooners OF thir-

or ten men. The usual fishing season is
from january or February till August.
During tn" wiHtcr months the sharks
frequent shailowcr waters, and are found
about twenty miles from land, in fifty
fathoms of water or thorcabouts; in sum

caught one hundred miles Or 50 of the
