new railroad which the Louisville
and Nashville company will bTld
South from that city in the direction
Of Birmingham. President EEtein
Norton has given assurance that
work will be begun on this rad next
month, and that it will " pushed
speedily to completion. The road is
at present projected to Dbl kson Sta
ton only, which is thirtylfve miles
south of GAINESVILLE, but it will doubt
less some day be extended on through
Florence and Sheffield to Birming-
ham, and will constitute another line
from this city to points north.
We hope it will bring GAINESVILLE
all the prosperity expected. That
town is already one of the largest in
the country "for its size" and if it
adds to its present importance some
thing of the Birmingham cast it will
be very live place indeed, and hard
to beat.
GAINESVILLE has now probably 49,
900 inhabitants, and next to Louis
vile is the most important inland
tobacco market in the United States.
1t ships annually between 80, 900 and
10000 hogsheads of tobacco, which
represent from $5,O0O,OOO to $6,OO0,-
coo; and besides this it has one or two
Touring mills and does a cOnsidera-
bic trade in grain. There are five
banks III GAINESVILLE, and several
large mercantile establishments that
do considerable jobbing trade in
the adjoining counties Of Tennessee
and Kentucky.
The city has had for fifteen years a
splendid system of water woNs. 1t
lights up with electricity, ms a
street car line and other city-ke
appurtenances. =
There are four churches in Clarks-
Vile that cost over $4,000 each, and
as many as twenty-five brick resi-
dences that cost over $4,000. The
County Court House is a splendid
building that cost about $110, 900; and
the Tobacco Exchange building,
which is of attractive and unique
architecture, cost $4,000.
GAINESVILLE is located on the Cumber-
land river, sixty miles below Nash
vile, at the point where that stream
| is crossed by the Memphis division
Of the Louisville and Nashville rail
road. Two short railroads, both
owned by the Louisville and Nash
vile Company, connect Clarksville
with points in Kentucky.
The new railroad which it is pro
posed to build will pass through a sec
ton which abounds in brown hema
tite ores. A nu;aber of charcoal fur
naces hourished in that region before
gle war and some are still in opera
ton. North of Clarksville, abou
fifty miles, lie the Kentucky Goa
fields, and it is sometimes claimed
that this coal can be successfully
coked, but that is not well establish
ed.
GAINESVILLE is a good solid towr
that deserves to grow, and we hope
the CHRONICLES. prediction will be
speedily verified"

1t would not take much to equip
the kind of department the city
needs. All you want at present is
two hose trucks drawn by horses,
and a man to be at each truck house
all the time to answer fire alarm at
once. One horse to the truck would
be sufficient at present, though two
would be better.

1t would not cost exceeding $50
per annum, to run such department
as this, after the horses are procured.
1t would save much property for the
city. The volunteer company could
be at fire by the time the hose
reels arrived, and could always know
what to. depend upon when an alarm
is sounded. They would not have to
run Otto truck house and get a
hose reel and then go t. a fire before
they could do effective work the
hose would be at fire before the

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Climbing Snakes.

My farmer friend, Hiram Carpenter,
who lives three miles out of town, in
vited me to call at his place and see
where he found a snake four feet and
three Inches in length and one and a
half inches in diameter. The swal-
lows nest under the caves of his barn,
which project some twenty inches from
the building. The rafters do not run
out more than one-half or two-thirds of
this distance, the space between them
being quite thickly studded with the
mud nests of the swallows. One pleas
ant day in June his son noticed quite a
commotion among the birds and called
him to the spot. They were amazed
to see a large snake clinging to the end
of a rafter, with Its head in one of the
nests, evidently devouring the young
birds. The reptile was able to cling to
the end of the rafter by hugging it tight
ly. and was only dislodged after some
effort. 1t had swallowed two young
birds, and another was partly down its
throat. The young man had not "be-
lieved in killing snakes,n but on this
occasion he dispatched the reptile for
with. The barn is sheeted up with
rough pine boards, upon which there
are two coats of paint, and from the
ground to the point whence the snake
was dislodged the distance is nineteen
feet and four inches. How it managed
to get to the spot seems altogether a
mystery. There was no hole through
the side of the barn nor under the roof
boards, nor did it seem possible for 1t
to have worked its way from the top of
the roof. Then, 1t was quite as diff
cult for 1t to have found way TO the
roof. Mr.. Carpenter is most reliable
observer of all natural phenomena-an
investigator, really--but he was unable
to form any opinion as to how the rep
tile reached its prey. He described it
as resembling the common garter
snake, except in the matter ofits great
size, hence could form no idea as to
the species to which it belonged

OF A BULLETIN FROM
OHIO EXPERIMENT STATION.
The Effect ofFertilizers for Wheat on
Various Kinds of Soil-Brands
That Farmers Should Care
fully Avoid They
Prove q Loss.

It is complained Of the fertilizer ex-
periments reported by the Ohio expert
ment station that they are made on so
fertile a soil that the fertilizers cannot
have their full effect. At the Maryland
experiment station plot of worn, clay
and has been put under q similar series
of experiments to those in progress in
Ohio, The result this year is that the
unfertilized plots gave an average yield
of twelve and one-sixth bushels per
acre against about thirty-one bushels
from the similar plots in Ohio) while
the best yields from the fertilized plots
was nine and three-fourths bushels
more than from the unfertilized.. This
gain came from fertilizers that would
cost about ten dollars in Ohio-or bare
" enough to cover the cost Of the fer
tilizers, with wheat at a dollar per
bushel.
The Maryland experiments differ
from those made in Ohio in showing no
increase made from the barnyard ma
Inure.
