Mrs. Lewson's face frightened in an in
slant: she threw the door wide open with
a glad cry of recognition.
Come in, Miss, come inl Who would
have thought of seeing you in this horrible
placer Yes: l was the nurse who looked
after you all three-when you and Mr..
Arthur and Mr.. Hugh were playfellows
together" Her eyes rested longingly on
her favorite of bygone days. The sensi-
tive sympathies of Iris interpreted that
look. She prettily touched her cheek, in
viting the nurse to kiss her. At this act
of kindness the poor old woman broke
down; she apologized quantity for her
tears: Think, Miss, how l must remem-
Der that happy time-when you have not
forgotten it,"
Shown into the parlor, the first object
which the visitor noticed was the letter
that she mad written to Arthur lying I'M

From New Providence.

To the Tobacco LeafChronicle.l
While the people of GAINESVILLE
have been enjoying the preaching of
the Rev. Mr.. Penn, we, of New
Providence, have been blessed with
the presence of the Rev. Mr.. Orr, of
Trenton, KY, who for two weeks
has been aiding our pastor, Mr..
Travis, in conducting a meeting at
the church here. While we have
not much convertible material to
work upon, the church members
were awakened from their lethargy
and new life was instilled into them,
in fact it seems that every luke
warm Christian who was going down
the hill of time hand in hand with
the devil, was made to recognize his
condition, and many have deter
mined that in the future, let come
what may, they will do the will of
God. The Rev. Mr.. Orr is man of
the highest order of intellect, and
while he exhibits the highest order
of education and refinement, he is
endowed in a marked degree with
those qualifications which are neces-
sary to make an eminent divine.
1t was never our pleasure to meet
him before, in fact we never before
heard of him and we are at a loss to
know the reason. That a man should
be a member of the Louisville Con-
ference and be located within fifteen
miles of us, as pastor of a Meth
odist church, is no reason why we
should know him, or that we should
hear of him, but when that
man has the ability to rank
with the greatest preachers in
the Methodist, or any other church,
we do think it strange we never
heard of him before. Is he REFRESHING
himself? Has he been neglected by
conference? What world of good
he could accomplish in city like
Nashville or Louisville. In his
present sphere or location he can do
good, but it does remind one Of what
that sweet poet wrote when he said:
"Full many gem of purest ray serene
Thedark, unfathomed caves of ocean bear,
Full many flower is born TO blush unseen
And waste its sweetness ON the desert air."

A MoTHN,s BUSINESS.
A Satisfactory Showing for the First
Month of the Consolidation.

Saturday evening closed the first
month of the consolidation of the
TOBACCO LEAF and Chronicle. Its
work has been very gratifying in
deed to the proprietors, in its bust
ness results even beyond anything
they had hoped for. Not only has
the circulation of the DAILY LEAF
CHRONICLE very largely increased
during the month-its list of paid
subscribers nearly doubling in fact
but many new names of parties who
were not taking either of the old
papers have been added to the list OF
the semi weekly, and the combina.
ton has been received with even as
much favor in the country as in the
city. In round numbers, during the
month 400 new subscribers have
been added to the two lists, the
greater number of which have OF
course been added to the daily, while
the Semi Weekly has come in for a
full share.
The proprietors are duly apprecia
tive of this evidence of the esteem
and good will of the public and feel
inspired to renewed effort to make a
first class paper in every respect.

To the Tobacco Leaf-Chronicle.l
AS the public seems to take consid-
cradle interest in the weather, send
you some notes:
1t has been stated that on March
q, the day OF the Louisville tornado,
mot cyclone), the barometer stood
lower than at any time since the
February storm at GAINESVILLE some
five or six years ago, before came to
this city. This must be mistake, as
shown by my record kept at the Uni
versity since Sept, 1885.
We have a Standard Mercurial
Barometer, the kind used by the
United States Government Signal
Service and far more reliable than an
Aneroid Barometer.
do not know how low the barom-
eter stood at the time of that Feb
uary storm, but on March q, last, at
p. m. it registered 29.0S inches !;
Now on December 4, 1855, it stood at
29.Ol inches ; on January 8, 1886, it
stood at 1898 inches on March 20,
1886, it stood at 1898 inches; Janu-
airy 10, 1887, it stood at 1882 inches !;
March IS, 1889, it stood at 29.0S
Inches.
From this we see that since Sept,
1885, we have four records loaoer than
that of March q, at 1 p. M, and one
time when it fell as loog.
1t is true, however, that the ba-
rOmeter continued to fall during that
afternoon and at p. M, just before
the hail storm, it reached 1882
inches, as low as on January 10, 1887,
but not lower. During the period of
my observations the highest point
reached by the barometer is 1928
inches on January 10, 1888. The
average height of the barometer for
this locality seems to be about 1880
inches.

Corresponding figures for March,

We have had remarkable winter
and spring. March last was colder
than any month of the winter and
November was next coolest. Also
the rainfall since January l, 1890, has
been very great-26.29 inches against
6.49 inches for the first three months
of last year, and 1916 inches for the
'ohole of last year. So that the rain
fall for the first three months of 1890
is nearly three-fourths as great as for
the whole of 1889. J. A. L.

soooPED
On the County Financial ARetn's Re-
port.

The LEAF-CHRoNICLE is seooped
on Judge Tyler's report covering his
terms of Office, not through any want
ofeffort or perseverance on the part of
its editors or reporters to get that
document, but because of the favorit-
ism of Judge Tyler for his own pa
per, the Democrat.
When it became known ten days
ago that the report would be read to.
day an effort was made to get the
manuscript and put it in type ready
for publication, but in this the LEAF
CHRONICLE failed, although the
manuscript was then, or had been, in
the Democrat Office, and no charge
was asked for its publication in the
LEAF CHRONICLE.
This morning when the report was
read to the County court another eff
fort was made to get it, but without
avail. After the report had been
read and the report of the committee
endorsing it had been made, Judge
Tyler got the manuscript of his re-
port from the clerk and put it on his
desk. When the motion to receive
his report and spread it upon the
minutes and ask the city papers to
publish it free of charge had been
made, the editor of the LEAF.
CHRONICLE went upon the stand and
asked Judge Tyler for his report for
immediate publication. He replied
that he wanted it very care
fully put in type, and was assured
that he would be furnished a
correctly revised proof sheet of the
matter this evening. Still declining
to furnish the manuscript, he was
asked the privilege of copying it at
once in the courthouse by competent
and careful cOpyists and was refused.
AS citizen of the county having a
right to the records of the county
and transcript of them, this was
again asked, and Judge Tyler replied
that he hardly thought it county
record yet. Notwithstanding, it had
been read to the County court and
ordered spread upon its minutes.
Later on Esq. Thomson renewed
his motion that the newspapers of
the city be furnished the report for
publication, and that they be allowed
access to it at once to copy it if they
so desired.
Judge Tyler did not allow this to
come before the court, but stated that
he had spent much care and labor
in compiling this report, that it
could not be put in type and
correctly revised under two or three
days, and he asked the privilege of
the court of furnishing the city press
these revises, or the type ready set as
soon as he could, and this was done.
OF course it will be furnished to
his own paper, the Democrat, on
Thursday, and to all appearances
this is the reason that he has sup
pressed a county record for half
week.
Nevertheless if the LEAF-CHRONI-
Gle has been instrumental in bring
ing out this report, it has done Mont
gomery county and its citizens ines
Unable serS ice and can afford to be
scooped ON its publication. Judge
Tyler has not been attacked by the
LEAF CHRONICLE. Its columns
have been opened to the discussion
of public questions and it has admit
ted articles on question of vital i'm
portanCe to every taxpayer in the
county. If Judge Tyler has been
unjustly assailed or criticised, he
alone is responsible for it.
