Meeting Closed.

The revival meeting at the Meth
odist church closed last night. Rev.
Lee Harris preached to large crowds
both morning and evening. The
congregation last night was the
largest one that has been at the
church during the series Of meetings.
The house could not possibly seat the
immense crowd.
The revival has been to a certain
extent succ, ssful. The church has
been revived and about thirty five
new names have been put on the
books during the meeting. All de
nominations have shared in the good
accomplished, as all churches in the
city have beearepresented in the ser
vices.
Rev, Lee Harris and Prof. Beville
left this morning for Elm Street
church in Nashville, where Mr.. Har-
ris will conduct meeting this week
The members of the Methodist
church and the congregation last
night made up quite nice sum OF
money for Mr.. Harris and pre- scented
tito him yesterday. This evangelist
has made good impression in
GAINESVILLE and should he ever come
again he will be welcome.

AFTER THE FIRE.
The Walls Fell ON two Men without
Hurting Them General Notes.

Saturday evening The division
wall IN the McGehee building fell
catching two men. They were Jas.
McGraw and a negro. The fact
that neither one Of them was hurt is
miraculous to say the least of it,.
There were several tons of brick
which came down with IA crash, to-
gether with a part Of the floor of
the building. The men had been
working in the wreck all day and
had gone into the building to get
some tools they had left when the
wall fell. They happened to be
near the base Of the wall
and the falling debris went beyond
them. They were pinioned to the floor
however, and it took several minutes
to liberate them. Neither one o.
them sustained a scratch. Five min
utes before the wall fell Officer Hole
man ran a crowd Of boys out of the
building, thus perhaps saving their
lives.
Jno. s. Elder informs the LEAF
CHRONICLE that he will go to work
having the debris cleaned out, pre-
paratory TO rebuilding. The houses
will be built three stories high and
will be as good, if not better than be
fore the fire.
]. R0senfeld & Sons do not know
when they can have their damage
appraised so they can 60 to business
again. Their stock af clothing is in
bad condition and it will take several
days TO find out the extent OF damage,
to it and their other stock.

Shot at Bowling Green.

Bell Wood, f'rmerIy of this city
shot negro at Bowling Green last
Wednesday night. Bell Wood was
employed in the railroad yard in
Bowling Green and so was the negro.
A dispute arose over an engine,
when the negro attacked Wood with
IA hammer, and Wood drew a pistol
and fired, the ball striking the negro
in the right side piercing lung.
The shooting was evidently in self
defense as wood was only put under
a 5000 bond for his appearance. Jas.
7. Wood, brother of Bell Wood re-
ceived letter from the physician in
the case this morning stating that
the negro would recover.

FOR VALUATIONS, 1890.
Cutting Green Tobacco in the Rain.

The continued cold rains are hav-
ing a bad effect on tobacco and are
also delaying wheat sowing. How
ever there is time enough yet for
seeding wheat. Farmers in some To-
calities becoming alarmed and panic
stricken last week by the frost pro-
phets, cut their tobacco green and in
the rain. This was the case in Logan
county about Adairville and other
localities where there was a great
deal of late tobacco out. This OF
course was butchery, and quite as
bad as frost. Green tobacco cut with
out sunshine TO wilt it, heaped in
piles, broken, bruised, mashed and
rushed into the barns in strut, can t
be worth much, and farmers had bet,
ter take the chances
There is no necessity for such a
condition with tobacco growers.
Some planters are through with
the crop having prepared early
planting in May, giving ample time
for the crop to mature and be housed
before frost time, and there is no rea-
son why all growers could not have
done the same thing by proper atten-
ton at the proper time. Early
planting one year with another is al
ways the least expensive and trouble,
some and the most profitable and no
planter should lose an opportunity
for getting his crop set in May and
avoid frost scares.

FORCED TO THE WALL
McGehee Bros. Make An AS.
signment for Their Creditors.
Their Great Losses More Than They Can
Stand and They Are Forced to
Close Their Doors.

The announcement this morning
that McGehee Bros. had made a gem
eraI assignment for the benefit of
creditors caused no little excitement
in business circles. This firm, as is
well kown, did business in several
different locali les i'm the GAINESVILLE
Tobacco District and the failure is
more or less loss to the entire dis
trict.
The papers on file in the Registers
office name John j. West and Hun
ter Wood as assignees. Mr.. West is
the assignee for Tennessee, while Mr..
Wood is the same for Kentucky. The
property named in the assignment
consists Of the GAINESVILLE business,
and also the business done by the
firm at Oak Grove, Gracey, Mont
gomery, Pembroke and Newstead.
The tlte last named places are in
Kentucky and the ones in which the
firm has been doing general dry
goods business for several years. AT
all OF these places. there are stocks of
goods ranging In value from $4,000 to
$4,000. The firm has also put into
the assignmenthll the personal prop
erty and real estate of each of the
four brothers now living and also the
property OF the brother who lost his
life so horribly in the BellVieW dis
aster last spring. They have not re-
serv, d dollar under the exemption
laws either in Kentucky or Tennes
see. This shows that they are honest
to the core, and will yet come.
ASSETS AND LIABILITIES.
1t is hard job to intelligentIy give
the assets and liabilities of the firm.
The assignment is made while the
whole force is demoralized. The
head book keeper of the firm, Bates
Wall, is lying at the franklin
House unable to go through the books
and give a statement Of the firms
business. lie is the gen leman who
was so severely hurt from jumping to
the pavement, Saturday morning,
from the second story of the burn
ing building. 1t will be several days
before he will be able to perform that
duty. j. w. McGehee and his attor-
neys and statesmen, however, have
been busy since Saturday morning
making up a statement, and con
sentative estimate from this would
give the assets and liabilities at about
$50,000 EACH.
The chief Indebtedness is to eastern
firms, the Farmers and Merchants
Bank and Jno Hurst d Co of this
city. The Indebtedness to the Far
mers and Merchants Bank is 5000,
which amount, Jno. w. FaXOn in
forms us, is secured. The amount
due John Hurst q Co. is about 50, 900.
Among the largest accounts due
New York firms may be namel the
following:

CAUSES OF TIE ASSIGNMENT.
The causes Of the assignment are
fresh i'm the minds of the readers OF
this paper. Last spring during the
fearful cyclone which swept over this
section, a house belonging to the firm
was blown down at Belleview, Ky,
and the entire stock Of goods con
sumed by fire. This is the same
disaster in which one Of the brothers
lost his life. This stock and building
was worth all of $4,000, partly in
sured against fire. The insurance
companies have so far refused to pay
the insurance money, on the grounds
that tornado was the first cause of
the loss, and that the house and
stock were not insured against lorna
does. This SO far has been clear
loss Of $4,000 to the firm. When
the fire broke out in their house here
Saturday morning il caught Il big
stock of goods in transit. That is,
the stores in Kentucky were suppliod
with goods from the ClarksvillG
house, and on top Of the usual stock
kept in this house there was some
thing like $4,000 worth of goods
ready to be shipped to the various
Kentucky stores. These were all
consumed, and the fact is, there was
only $2j, 900 insurance on the entire
stock. This IS Il great loss, and it
coupled with the loss at the Belle
view store last spring, is what
brought ABOUT the assignment.
The surviving members Of the
firm are j. w. McGehcc, II. a.
McGehec, II. S. McGehee aud a. G.
McGehec, all good business men.
They started poor and by close altcn-
ton to busin - they had huit up Il
business and line of credit of
which any firm might well feel
proud
The fact that these gentlemen
have kept nothing back in the as
signment speaks volumes for them.
The laws of Tennessee and Ken.
lucky allow them a home. They
have not taken advantage of this
but have said 10 their creditors
'Takc all we have, We can do no
more Such men will overcome all
Obstacles, but it will take years Of
hard work for them to get their busi-
ness back TO where il was a few
ago. The assignment is a
great calamity to this section. ]
