Street Working.

When Mr.. Belote gets his stone,
crushing machine in operation, if
some little care is paid to the practi-
cal and scientific principles of street
building, GAINESVILLE will soon have
as smooth, good streets as are to be
found in any city. The stone crush
er makes a good deal of small scales
and powdered stone. If the crushed
stone is first run over q sieve, sepa-
rating the gravel and small fakes
from the larger or bed stone, to be
spread on top after the bed of the
street is completed, it will fill its
uneven places and form a perfect
cement and smooth pike that will
endure for years.
The present method of repairing
streets should be changed. After
street has been worn and broken
into holes, instead of reflling the
holes with new stone on the hard
surface, the old stone should be
picked up loose, the bed of the street
Ieveled or rounded up, and the new
stone spread over it, topped off with
the gravel or stone dust.

Ths Dover road sun rnsolvons.

The Dover road has again been de-
clared insolvent. It's wretched con-
ditiOn Is being proclaimed from the
house tops and every man who sue
ceeds in navigating this famous
highway comes out with sulphuric
flames gushing from his mouth. II
is not only insolvent, without assets
to pay one per cent. on Its liabilities,
but is deceptive and treacherous in
the extreme, full of holes and dry
places and the traveller Is sometimes
up and sometimes down; don't
know whether he is drunk or sober, or
whether he is on his way to heaven
or hades. People are enquiring for
the overseer. They want to know
who he IS, and are threatening to
raise him high. The other day a
good minister, with a lady in a
buggy, started over this road, medi-
tating on the pure essence of the
Word, and the glad tiding5 of peace
for his congregation. In an unlucky
moment he struck one of those
deceptive holes, and down he went
buggy, lady and all, and there he
stuck. After some time a boy came
along driving an OK hitched to a
sulky, which he was training for q
trotting race over this beautiful high
way, with view to winning Buena-
ventura Stock Farm, or beating Rus
STA a mile heat over the course. He
discovered a hat on a stump in the
center of the hole, and a horses ears
sticking up in front of the hat,
and heard an awful popping
of whips going on just below.
Jack shouted to the top of his voice,
Hello, who's under that hat?" The
good man told Jack who he was and
pleaded for help. Jack hitched his
steer in front of the horse, and the
preacher commenced praying and
Jack commenced cursing that steer,
and Jere-that's the steer-got right
down to business, and the preacher,
buggy and all, were soon resurrected
and went on their way rejoicing,
keeping in the woods near the road
and thanking Jack and Jere for de-
liverance.
If anybody doubts this, we refer
them to John Buck, of lakewood,
who will substantiate the fact. Jack
says he could not tell how many
wagons and teams there were just be-
low the minister.
This is the situation of the Dover
road in the middle of June, and we
would like for the "Old Man of the
Mountains" (Col. Savage) to come
down and test its solvency.

The Place to Advertise.

The Clarksville Ice and Coal Co.
put an advertisement, "mules want
ed" in the columns of the LEAF
CHRONICLE few days ago and the
day after the advertisement appeared
the pair OF mules were taken to the
Office and a trade effected. Since
that time people have been coming
from Robertson, Cheatham, Dickson
and Stewart counties to sell mules TO
the company. They all saw the lit
tie adj. and Immediately answered it.
This is only given to show where
people should advertise their wants.
The Clarksville Tobacco District
never had as fine advertising medium
as the LEAF-CHRoNICLE. 1t goes
everywhere. Merchants, you should
paste this in your hats.

THE BENDING WORKS,
Clarksvflis Taking on Movs-People Co
ms New Gait and Enterprise Brist-
ling on Every Side.

McKesson d Shaw promised that
they would be here In 60 days from
the time the citizens Of GAINESVILLE
made up the donation asked for,
ready to commence work and would
have the factory in operation in
short time. This much they have
complied with, winding up their
business in Ohio and coming here
within the 60 days.
Now they have up ever 50 many
cottages for homes for their employ
ees. They have their saw mill in
operation and the timbers all ready
for building the factory as soon as
the material can be moved to the
place. They have the machinery
purchased and ready for shipment as
soon as the house is ready to receive
it, and the prospect is that the factory
will be in operation within the next
forty or fifty days. The donation of
81, 900 to these gentlemen is another
investment that will pay GAINESVILLE
500 per cent. We struck the right
men this time. They are first-class
business men and citizens of the
highest character, whom GAINESVILLE
people can receive into full business
and social fellowship with pride.
They will have a large manufac-
turing business here, employing from
thirty to fifty men from the start.
All of their products will be the
fruit of labor, converting what was be-
fore raw timber into useful and
marketable goods; articles for which
there is a great and growing demand
that cannot be over supplied. These
gentlemen are greatly encouraged
with the outlook-better pleased
than they ever anticipated. They
have had experts to go through their
large body Of timber, who place a
much higher estimate on it than
did the purchasers when they closed
the trade. Mr.. McKesson says he
never saw trees grow so fast as they
do down here, they are nearly as
large again as they appeared in the
winter when he was making the
purchase.
They are now arranging for trans
portation to bring their rough tim
Der up from the saw mill to be
worked up in the factory. 1t was
thought by our people big and an
undertaking to move so
much heavy timber 50 great dis
lance to be worked. But they
counted the cost, and now have bet
ter and cheaper arrangements than
at first calculated. 1t will not be
long before the hum of machinery
will make GAINESVILLE a mighty busy
town.

Justice Isn't q Sleeper.

While at the postoffce in an Ohio
village [ heard the report that MUIR
derer had been captured, so followed
the crowd to the lookup to learn more
about it, says writer. There I found
a prisoner whose every appearance
proved the professional tramp, He was
about 40 years of age, very cool, and
he greeted the charge of murder with
laugh. In short time he was taken
before justice of the peace for exam
nation, and found seat in the
crowd. One look at the justice salts
fed me that he realized The awful
gravity of the situation, and felt the
foundation-stone of the United States
resting on his broad back.
Prisoner" he began, "don't trife
with this court, for it won't be al
lowed"
who's going to trife?" was the
answer.
Don't you do 1t, sir-don't you do
Tess ?"
"To what?"
Sold blooded murder"
aWhere?"
"Tn Cleveland"
when? ?"
"Last night at o'clock"
"Humph! How far is it to Cleve-
land, Squire? ?"
NINETY miles,"
"And 1 slept all night in barn back
here three miles.
"That's SO, judge" said farmer in
the crowd. "He came along at 8 o'clock
last night and let him in there"
"You are sure?"
Positive"
"And you won't confess ?" he asked
of the prisoner.
GLOW can being as I've done
nothing?"
"Very we'll; such obstinacy deserves
punishment, and I sentence you to the
county Jail for ninety days"
"What for ?"
@To prove to you that Justice never
sleeps, sir-never. You may think she
do, but she don't-she don't, sir. You
have been overtaken at last, sir-at
last, sir, and the constable will take
charge Of the prisoner, and court is
adjourned.
