PARK ASSOCIATION.
Preparations for the Coming Fair
October 9--11.
The Ladies to Take an Active Pa I in the
Program.

The directors of the Clarksville
Park Association had a meeting Il
day or two since and appointed all
committees and made all necessary
arrangements for the coming meet
ing October to IL.
The program is the most complete
of any one published, providing for
farm products of various classes,
ladies' handiwork, etc., andjudging
from the number of catalogues being
called for and sent out, the e&hibi-
ton is going to be most literally pat
ronized. Liberal premiums are pro,
vided for the ladies and the ladies'
committee viii take hold of that de-
partment, which is a guarantee that
every thing will come mp right
The trotting and pacing races are
already filled and the large number
of entries, consisting of the best
horses in the country, is a guarantee
of some rare sport IN tnat llne,alu an
exhibition of The largest number OF
line horses that will be seen at any
fair this fall is confidently expected.
The point is that all Montgom-
cry county people should take
special interest in the matter, bring
out what they have for exhibition in
the way Of stock and farm products,
and make an exhibition that will be
creditable to the county and a benefit
to our agricultural interest.
Such shows stimulate pride, enter
prise and activity among home PEG
pie and give the county character
abroad, proving beneficial in many
ways as well as most enjoyable.

10 INVESTORS.

We desire to call your attention to
a business for which GAINESVILLE pos
sesses peculiar advantages, enjoyed
by no other town in the Z. S. that is,
SNUFF MAKING.
Six factories draw almost the whole
of their supplies from our tobacco
market, three of which are among
the largest in the United States.
The consumptive markets for snuff
are mainly south, west and south
east of us, us giving the following
freight advantages over Pennsylva-
mia and New York factories:
A factory of 1900 hhds. capacity
per annum in those States, would
pay freight north on crude material
of $4,000. On the manufactured
article, over our rates to those mar
kets, of $27 900, a total of freight
rates in our favor of $4,000 per an
mum. Snuff makers realized fair
profits on cost Of stock of Sc. per n ;
for three years their stock has been
laid here ut an average cost Of 1 :. to
44c. per b., netting them in round
figures 100000 per annum, in adj
dition to their regular profits. The
snuff factory proposed, to have COM
plete success from the start, should
have a cash capital of not less than
100000. A well managed snuff
factory here should pay an average
annual dividend Of 40 per cent. to &C
per cent.
The vicious class legislation Of
Congress against the Southern PEG
pie, makes it the patriotic duty o.
every Southern man who has few
dollars to spare, to put them into
some manufacture, in competition
against Republican manufacture
North. We for our part, are ready
and willing to do our share.
TO test your feelings upon the sub
iect, we will, at 10 o'clock a. IN. Aug
25th next, open at the Farmers ant
Merchants National Bank books
for subscription, upon which yol
can write your names, and the mum

The proposition of M. IL. Clark &
Bro. which has appeared in the
LEAF-CHRONICLE several days for
stock subscriptions Tor a snuff factory
is a move in the right direction, and
we are glad that il is meeting with
50 much favorable consideration.
GAINESVILLE is certainly the proper
place to make the business most
profitable, for the very reasons given
in the advertisement. 1t is tobacco
center and market for the very kind
Of tobacco that is best suited to snuff
making, just rs it is the center for
iron making, bending works and
other Woodworking business, be-
cause ii is a center surrounded by the
raw material that pays best profits in
manufacturing Snuff making pays
great profit at other places, and
why not here. All concerns en-
gagged in the business are making
fortunes out of the raw material pro
duccd around GAINESVILLE. There are
hundreds of thousands of dollars
around here comparatively idle for
the want of such active enterprise for
Investment. A firm started snuff
factory In LyEchburg ten years ago
on a small capital aud have since
quadrupIcd the size of the factory
and now keep twenty-slX drnmmers
in the field and are preparing to in
crease the capacity of the factory 70
eight times is original size. Coy-
tainly our people ought to raise the
stock for this factory in few days.

Of the general land Office. These trees, the spe-
cial agent says. grow in detached clusters on
the top or sides of the Sierra Nevada mountain
range in the districts named and always AZ an
elevation of from 900 to 1000 feet. Access to
them is. as rule, very difficult, on account of
the extreme rOughness OF the mountain passes
and canyons. The report only enumerates the
trees visited that are forty-tive feet in circum-

OF these 2,675 were found Forty-four are over
eighty feet in circumference and several are
more than hundred. One is l06 in circum-

No One Would Help Him and So He Killed
Himself.
An aged man, who is known by the name of
C. Shutter, was found dead in bed yesterday in
the little garnet room which he has occupied at
359 Blocker street, New York. for the past six
weeks. He had taken poison, but of what sort
is yet unknown, for the empty phial found on
the chair beside him bore no label. He left a
short, unfinished note. written in pencil. in
which he said he had determined to end his
life, because at the age OF seventy-fOur he was
useless and could obtain no employment
The last place where he worked steadily was
at the restaurant at s Greenwich avenue and
he left there in September last Since then no
one knows how he obtained his livelihood.
He was very quiet and orderly tenant. never
drank any liquor, and told his landlord saloon
Keeper Nicholas Guntzer. that he had once
been wealthy wholesale dry goods merchant.
but had failed during the war and had never
been able to regain his fortunes af.erward
About week ago he applied to Col. Hahn for a
position i'll the Manhattan Elevated Railroad
Company's office, and took with him letter of
introduction from q railroad man of his &C
job because he was too old, and ever since
then he has been downhearted and gloomy.
Mr.. Guntzer says he seemed particularly I'M
happy and Respondent Thursday and in the
evening, when he went to his room. he left the
saloon down stairs. where he had been reading
the papers as usual, without bidding any Of
those present goodnight. He was found dead
burning in his room. He had put on a clean
shirt. dressed himself in the best clothes he HAD
and BACKED his shoes carefully before lying
down on the bed.

Mehta said the congress desired to assist the
government in the work of social reforms. The
divers nationalities of India were not yet ready
for representative institutions, yet the elective
principle ought to be adopted in nominations

thus: Our congress asks but to be allowed to

MUSICAL.

There seems to be little going on
in musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss B,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from q severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DR.. Sage's Cstarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions, and lingering coughs, it is an
unequaled remedy. When compli-
Gated with Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
its use should be coupled with the
use of DR.. Sage's Cstarrh Remedy.
