q MOTHER INFAMOUS CUT.

The latest infamous cut at tile
fhrnpors is the proposed increase Of
tariff on cotton ties from 35 to 1O3
per cont. Well, if the rascals sue
coed in their wicked purpose to
raise the price of cotton ties, the
Only remedy is return to rope.
Make tho bales smaller and have
sworn samples ready for inspection
At tho sales Of each lot. The
devils can be whipped in this
game if the farmers stand firm.

\ TWO SIDED GILL.
II Created aTremei>Ions Sensation In the
Treasury Department.


Treasury Department.
There was received ut tho treasury
department one OF the most peculiar
bank notes ever seen among tho millions
upon millions Of currency notes printed
by the government 1t was $50 note
or a $40 note, just according to which
side was up, for by some remarkable
mistake the ono sido was printed with
tho figures and devices Of Il $50 bill
while tho other hud al tho figures and
devices Of Il $40 bill
Tho noto was returned to tho treas.
ury by tho cashier Of tho First Wash
lngton National bunk of Jersey City,
who sent 1t with n rather sarcastic note,
intimating that his bank was not going
into the freak business, and added that
us tho treasury had counted that bill
for S2O ho would trouble them to send
him an ordinary $40 noto. The afrnir
created Il som-ation, for 10 ono Ind ever
seon such wonderful note before
Tho matter was referred to the depart.
ment Of issue, from which the note had
boon sent out to tho Jersey City bank
Tho mistake was promptly corrected
md an immediate investigation begun
The investigation was prosecuted
with vigor, and 0cn. Meredith found
tho cause Of the trouble 1t seems that
the four notes printed on II sheet are
not all of ono denomination. There
are always three Of ono kind and tile
fourth or another; thus, in this case,
three tens and u twenty. 1t was IN
easy task to learn just whom this bun
dlo had been printed, and by which
plato printers. rhcy were examined,
and it developed that ono sheet of four
notes, after having been printed on one
side, had fallen off tho bundle to the
floor. Tho assistant who picked it up by
soino unfortunate oversight turned the
sheet upside down when sho placed it
on tho bundle.
Tho rest is easily understood. This
sheet was printed on tho second side
with u 0-fnco on tho reverse Of Il ton,
and one OF the thrco 10-faco on tho re-
verso Of the ono 20 of tho steel Hence
there were two 40 20s" In tho lot.
Thus tho mistake was corrected But no
good explanation WAS offered, or can
be offered why these two bills, passing
through Il score Of hands, each ono OF
whom is supposed to examine cvcry bill
most carefully. should not hnvo boon
tlisc< "4rcd.
Every person in the bureau who
handles note is held responsible III
tho strctcSt way, and it is almost in
credible that mono Of these people
should have discovered tho mistake.
In the department. Of issue nrc not less
thnn SIX counters, whose business it has
been for years to count the notes be
foro issuing them to the banks They
nro considered the most expert counters
III tho world and yet all six Of these
wonderful experts allowed such a bill
- pass through their hands. No trace
as been found of tho second hybrid.
q, that 1t must be wandering around
tho country. Tho two notes will be
Kept in the trcasurcr's Office as curios

DRAMATIC.

The season mt Elders opera-hOuse
has about closed and there will be nc
more theatrical companies in Clarks-
vile until next season unless some
strong one comes in during the next
few days. There have been some
good companies here during the sea-
son, with a supcrabundance of mean
ones thrown in to fill up the gaps.
1t is told through the North that
Marie wainwright will never be able
to again appear upon the stage. She
gave down the other night at Min,
noapolis and had to leave the stage.
Sine is suffering with some kind of
brain trouble. The physicians pro-
nouncc it hemorrhage of the brain,
while her friends say il is only neu-
ralgia. She is the wife Of the TRACE
dian Lewis James, who appeared
here in Othello this season, and is an
act asS of no mean ability.
Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1890-05-01
The semi-weekiy Tobacco Leaf-0hroni-
Gle Enlarged.

The LEAF-CHRoNICLE is keeping
all of its promises to its readers. The
Fridays edition of the Semi Weekly
is permanently enlarged this week
to an eight page paper, exactly the
size of the old weekly Chronicle.
In addition to giving the old Chron-
icle readers the same amount OF
reading matter as heretofore they
also have the Tuesdays edition, the
regular size of the old Tobacco Leaf.
These two issues carry the country
the compiled daily news of the city
and country twice a week, and af-
ford the country people every advan-
tage of daily for the same price
they paid for the old Chronicle.
There is no other local paper in the
country that affords its readers SO
many advantages so cheaply. The
publishers intend making still fur
ther improvements and keeping fully
abreast with the progress of the
times.
For the present the eieht-page
Semi Weekly will be sent out with
pages uncut. This, however, is only
temporary, as the circulation Of the
paper has grown so large as to de-
mand machinery for folding its sew
eral editions, and one will be put in
that will deliver the quartO form
with pages cut and trimmed. The
advantages of this to the reader and
advertiser are apparent.
