R. H. WALKER
Passes Quietly Away at New Providence,
His Home.

The announcement of the death of
II. III. Walker, senior member Of the
Planters Warehouse firm, will bring
feelings of deep regret and sorrow to
very many hearts.
Mr.. Walker has been confined for
the past two months with typhoid
fever which he fought against bravely
bearing up with great courage, and
Saturday morning he appeared so
much better that his friends thought
his case had taken a turn for recov
cry, but since that time he relapsed
into the most dreadful state of the
disease, and this morning at o'clock
yielded to the inevitable, his spirit
passing away quietly. The deceased
reached the fiftieth year of his age on
the 9th of last March. He was born
and reared in Robertson county, of
excellent parentage, his father, John
A. Walker, being one of the pioneers
of this country, of Scotch English
descent. At the age of fifteen years
Mr.. Walker commenced the cooper's
trade which was then a very profita-
bic business in Robertson county. In
1861 he enlisted in Capt. Bell Bid
Wells company in the 18th Tennes
see regiment, G. S. A., and served
about one year when he was taken
prisoner at Fort Donaldson and con
fined at Camp Butler. Some forty
days later he escaped and came
home. In 1868 he settled at New
Providence where he engaged sue
cessfuliy in the cOoper's business, con
tinuing until 1874, when he engaged
i'm the tobacco business, following il
several years in New Providence,
and few years ago, in connection
with John Hamburger, built the
Planters warehouse in this city, and
has since conducted a safe and pros
porous business.
He was quiet, unobtrusive gen
tlemah who never interfered with
other peoples affairs or pressed his
views unless called upon. He was a
clear-headed, safe business man of
fine judgement, kind in heart and
generous in all of his dealings, and
was universally popular with the
tobacco trade, as he was with all peO-
pie who knew him.
Mr.. Walker was married in 1868 to
Miss Caroline Watts, who with five
children survive him. He was an
exemplary member of the Methodist
church, where his death also leaves
sad vacancy.
The funeral services will be con-
Quoted at the Methodist church in
New Providence tomorrow at p.
m. by Rev. r.. f.. Travis. Intermenl

To Investors.

We desire to call your attention to
a business for which Clarksville pos
sesses peculiar advantages, enjoyed
by no other town in the U. S. that is,
SNUFF MAKING.
Six factories draw almost the whole
of their supplies from our tobacco
market, three of which are among
the largest in the United States.
The consumptive markets for snuff
are mainly south, west and north
east of us, us giving the following
freight advantages over Pennsylva-
mia and New York factories:
A factory of 800 hhds. capacity
per annum in those States, would
pay freight north on crude material
of $4,000. On the manufactured
article, over our rates to those mar
kets, of SCI, 600, a total of freight
rates in our favor Of $40, 200 per an
mum. Snuff makers realized fair
profits on cost of stock Of Sc. per % !;
for three years their stock has been
laid here at an average east OF f.. to
43c. per h., netting them in round
figures 100000 per annum, in adj
dition TO their regular profits. The
snuff factory proposed, TO have COM
plete success from the start, should
have cash capital of not less than
100000. A well managed snuff
factory here should pay an average
annual dividend of 40 per cent. to 60
per cent.
The vicious class legislation of
Congress against the Southern peo-
pie, makes it the patriotic duty of
every Southern man who has a few
dollars to spare, to put them into
some manufacture, in competition
against a Republican manufactures
North. We for our part, are ready
and willing to do our share.
TO test your feelings upon the sub
iect, we will, at 10 O'Clock a. m. Aug.
25th next, open at the Farmers and
Merchants National Bank books
for subscription, upon which you
can write your names, and the num-
Der of shares you desire to own.
You have n week to think over the
matter. Respectfully yours,

THE ROAD CONGRESS.
The Davidson County Committee Have
the Event Under Debate.

The Davidson county committee
to the proposed Road Congress met
Tuesday in Nashville to devise
plans, and discuss a bin for a State
road law.
DIR. Landreth presented a lot OF
suggestions that met with favorable
comment at the hands of the COM
mittee.
The public roads, and bridges, ac.
cording to his suggestion, of each
county of the State, shall be under
the care and control of county
board of highway commissioners
comprising three members, of whom
the county Judge or chairman of the
county court shall be ex-officio the
chairman of the commission. The
remaining two commissioners shall
be resident free holders; they shall
be elected by the county court and
shall hold office for four years or until
the qualification of their successors.
This board of commissioners shall
appoint a good civil engineer as
"county engineer of roads and
bridges" The engineer shall be
paid stipulated salary, and fixed
amount for expenses. 1t shall be his
duty to supervise the road building
in his county; giving the board OF
commissioners any information they
may desire as to plans and specifica-
tons for road work. If the road
work of any one county is not enough
to employ all of the time of an en-
gineer the commissioners of two OF
more counties may jointly employ
said engineer.
The board Of commissioners shall
classify roads into three classes, first,
second and third.
The county shall be divided into
districts by the commission. The
immediate charge of roads and
bridges in these districts shall be in
the hands of district Overseer OF
roads and bridges, who shall be ap
pointed by the county engineer and
who will direct his whole time to
superintendent of the first and
second class.
The committee entered into "A care
sui discussion of these principles and
the numerous others involved. They
instructed DIR. Landreth to incOrpor-
ate these ideas into a complete bill,
which he will prepare and read to
them at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
