NASHVILLE ropAcoo rRApE.
H. H. Poston Reelected President of the
Board for the Next Term.


The Nashville tobacco year closed
September LIST with fair showing in
the transactions Of the past twelve
months. The Tobacco Board Of
Trade held its annual meeting last
Wednesday, rejoicing the old board
Of oificers-H. III. Poston, president !;
John G. Gordon, vice-president G,
Z. Dortch, secretary and treasurer
g. w. Winters, inspector; J. w.
Gleaves, auctioneer.
Mr.. Poston has been president of
the board for thirteen years, and,
says the American, though he signi-
fed a desire to be relieved, he was
kept in the harness. Mr.. Poston has
been the main-stay of the Nashville
market. By his excellent manage
ment and persistent energy the bus
mess has been maintained, and a
good market furnished for the kind
and quality of tobacco tributary to
Nashville. Mr.. Poston is an old
GAINESVILLE citizen, born and raised
here, and it is gratifying to his many
friends that he has established him
self so firmly in business and in the
confidence of the Nashville people.
The receipts for the past year were
1927 hogsheads, or 1910 hogsheads
less than the previous year, which is
an excellent showing, considering
the great falling off in the crop OF
last year compared with the year be
fore. Tobacco sold in Nashville is
principally from the Upper Gambler
land district heavy tobacco, and
finds certain foreign demands for
which there are buyers located in
Nashville who pay fair prices.

The people of Clarksville would
hardly allow vicious, insane man,
given to spells and outbreaks of reck-
lessness, to run at large armed with
guns and pistols, attacking women
and children and innocent people.
Yet here is Jeff Lever quiet enough
when sober, who can get on howl
ing drunk any day and do this very
thing, and persons cannot come near
or in contact with him without the
risk of losing their lives. He has
been carrying on at this rate for sew
eral years, has very nearly killed
several men and committed deeds Of
shame for which Others in similar
eases have been lynched. He gives
the officers and court more trouble
than any dozen miscreants, generally
pleads guilty, is sorry, goes to Jail
for several months, works like a
clever fellow on the rock pile, and is
loose again to take the town Mt will.
1t occurs that this community has
had about enough of JEFF Lever.
He is a mad man with whisky in
him, and there. is no telling when,
how often, or how much whisky he
is going to get in him. He is too
dangerous to be allowed his liberty.
Certainly there is some law that will
put jeff Lever where he will be
harmless to the public and it should
be enforced.
