NJ. wO0dwAra couIne . clarHsvllIs.

The Age-Herald, speaking OF Mr..
WOOdward's connection with Clarks-
vile interests, says he has not dis
posed Of his Birmingham property,
which is very valuable, and is not
inclined to believe that he intends
moving to GAINESVILLE. The LEAF.
CHRONICLE was misled in stating
that he had sold out in Birmingham,
nevertheless Mr.. Woodward has pur-
chased a good deal of valuable real
estate here, has identified himself
with the enterprise and steady growth
of the city, and all indications point
to the fact that he intends making
GAINESVILLE his future home.
The great opening here for
the exercise Of his enterprise in
substantial development, the cheap
ness of property, the healthy loca-
ton of the city, good society,
churches, schools, etc., are all strong
incentives for him to come here, and
that he will do SO we haven't a sim
gle doubt. Moreover, he win meet
with hearty welcome and find the
entire business community Of Clarks-
vile ready to rally around him in
support of every movement set on
foot looking to the continued growth
of the city. His coming inspires
new life and courage in the citizens,
because of his experience, conserva.
tism and great success in developing
the iron industry, regarding his
judgment on the value Of our min
eral resources superior to any. Fur
thermore, we can say to the Age
Herald that in the course OF the next
twelve months GAINESVILLE will be
making superior quality of iron sc
cheap that it win make Birmingham
ashamed of herself.

ellis New Stable.

Jas. p. Gill has about completed
his new livery stable on the site re.
Gently burned, corner of Second and
Main streets, and will move in to-
morrow evening. 1t is one OF the
most splendidly constructed and best
equipped stables in the South, and
will easily accommodate 800 horses.
1t has substantial stone and brick
walls, metal roof and four rows OF
stalls with wide space between-two
rows of stalls through the center and
one on each side, on the street floor.
The house is we'll ventilated and
lighted from every side, and the stalls
are all neatly rugged up with wire
guards and modern feed arrange
ments. One row of stalls is closed
with half doors, in which horses
stand without halters.
In the right hand front corner is
the Office and baggage room, and in
the left corner a neat parlor for la
dies. The basement is roomy and
will accommodate large number of
horses and mules. The upper story
is used for storing buggles, which
are hoisted by an elevator and is
very convenient. The stable is alto
gether a very handsome and COM
plete building and is credit to Mr..
Gill's enterprise.

There are visible signs of im-
provement at Idaho Springs in the
shape Of new cottages and fences.
The surroundings have not yet been
fixed up from the overflow, but
Pete johnson says he will have
plank walks laid all around them
pretty soon. He was busy engaged
yesterday, with his boys, making a
new plank fence along the northern
boundary Of the Springs property.
He makes people believe that he Ia
working hard TO put the Springs and
grounds in order for the rush this
summer.
No work has been done yet at the
Cave in regard to building the new
hotel, but 1t is understood that G. b.
Wilson will begin the house in a few
days. The underground on the low
er end of the cave lot needs cleaning
out pretty badly, and should be done
soon. There is ne reason why this
summer resort should not be made
one OF the best in the country. The
natural advantages are all that one
could wish. 1t is hoped that a live
hotel man will be put at the head OF
affairs out there this season.

4 New Outlet Tor the CITY.

Much has been said about Clarks-
vile being hemmed in by toll gates,
etc., and for the past ten years the
building Of bridge across Red river
near the mouth of West Fork, has
been occasionally agitated. The pro-
Ject assumed shape once, 70 be carried
ont, but the difficulty in securing the
right of way through lands on the
other side Of the river defeated the
movement. Now things have
changed and GAINESVILLE is growing
so aggressive, widening her territory
and extending the city limits, that it
is time to renew the agitation
OF this enterprise. A bridge at this
point, opening a new road out north,
will shorten the distance from Tren-
ton, Peacher's and Barker's Mills
and those sections to GAINESVILLE, from
one to four miles. There are people
living within two or three miles Of
the city on that line who have to
travel six miles to get to town. This
is a matter that the county court
ought to look to, and no doubt lib
eral subscription can be had from cit
liens toward opening this road and
building a bridge. Logan county,
KY, has set an example in this par
ticular that is worthy of imitation.
All streams In that county crossed by
a public road-and there are many
Of them-are bridged over. Robert
son county does likewise, and here is
an opening for Montgomery county
to display some enterprise and do
much good. Let us have it.

ANOTHER DEAL.
Clarksville Street Oar Stock
Changes Hands at q For /.
The Outlook is For Something New In
This Line In Olarksvills Pretty
Soon.

Deals are becoming very frequent
now in GAINESVILLE. Every day there
is a new one to record. There is
undoubtedly a move on foot to bene-
fit GAINESVILLE. 1t means develop
ment, and heap of it.
What would you think IL the
LEAF-CHRoNICLE would tell you
that GAINESVILLE will have street elec.
trio railways pretty soon? This can
not be positively stated, but the in
dications point to it SO strongly that
some people who are on the inside
think 1t pretty strongly.
The latest deal is that by which a
controlling interest in the GAINESVILLE
Street Car Co. passes into the hands
eff w. M. Daniel and others. From
the Petition that was presented to
the Board of Aldermen last Wednes-
day wanting the right of way along
Greenwood Avenue for street cars il
is inferred that this stock passes into
the hands Of w. M. Daniel, F. p.
Gracey and w. III. Woodward, the
Birmingham capitalist. These were
the names that were attached to
the petition, and there is little
doubt that the gentlemen are going
to inaugurate new system of street
cars.
John +. Shelton, the president Of
the Street Car Company, sold to w.
M. Daniel his entire stock in the
company last evening for $4,000.
The stock held by Mr.. Shelton
amounted originally to 1000. Thus
it will be seen that the price paid
was two for one.
John j. West also sold stock to the
same party, amounting to $3.50, at
the same figure. The whole amount
transferred was $3.50, and the
money paid for it was exactly 90, 500.
Other parties holding stock have
been approached, but no other sales
have actually been made so far.
The general opinion among the
street car men is that the purchase
was made to obtain a controlling in.
terest in the Street Car Company,
and that development into some
thing new will soon follow.

From Robertson County.

AT Coopertown, in Robertson coun-
ty, several nights ago, ]. s. Dowlen,
thinking he heard some one after
his chickens, ran out without his
shoes, and getting over fence, step
ped on a rusty nail on the other side
that produced an ugly and painful
wound. Lockjaw was at first feared,
but through the efforts of DIR. s. w.
Frey, who promptly incised deeply
and freely the seat of the wound, re-
lief was found.
The LEAF-CHRoNICLE's Cooper
town correspondent reports the far
mers extremely late in pitching their
crops: much corn not yet in the
ground, while some of it is up and
ready for the pillow and hoe; wheat
is anything but prosperous in appear
ance, being short and sickly as a rule ;
oats will be no good at all unless the
few fields of fall sowing turn out
well tobacco plants are doing fairly
well and If the land was ready a few
farmers could set now; the acreage
planted will perhaps be about as
large as that put out last year.

The Baptist Ladies.

The strawberry and ice cream fes-
tival given by the ladies of the Bap-
fist church last night and yesterday
was a success financially and other
wise. The ladies sold all their ber-
ries and cream by ten o'clock last
night, and people were turned away
on account of having nothing to
feed them on. About $40 were
taken in by the ladies, which is no
small amount for a festival of the
kind. At this late date the
LEAF-CHRoNICLE wants to return
thanks to the young ladies forseveral
dishes Of berries, cream and cakes.
They were delicious and were en-
joycd by the members of the staff.
