Chicken Thief Caught.

About three o'clock this morning
Pat Ginley saw a negro coming up
the hill on First street with grass
sack on his shoulders, which looked
so suspicious that the officer halted
him. When asked what he had in
the sack the negro remarked that it
was some clothing that he was taking
to his wife. The policeman thought
this kind of story too thin and told
the negro to come and go to the sta
ton house and make report of him
self. He went on without any trouble
but when Ginley went to unlock the
station-house door the negro wheeled
and started up Strawberry alley at a
full head Of speed. The officer threw
his club at him and struck him on
the head, making him drop the sack
when out rolled four dead chickens.
The negro got clear away for the
time being, but was caught this
morning in SHUTDOWN by Sheriff
Station and Officer Ginley. He gave
his name as Bob Short, which, how
ever, is an alias, his name being Dave
Robb, and he is professional chick,
en- thief. He is now in Jail and the
chickens are at the station house
awaiting an owner.

Sickness Among Children.

Its cause is undoubtedly to be found
in the way they are fed, and the neglect
of their medical treatment. Many moth
ers are strong in their belief OF the good
state of health ef their little ones, and
1t is only when sickness in mild or
strong form comes upon them that the
mother fully realizes the mistake of her
over-confdence, and thus unwittingly
brings painful suffering to her child and
uneasiness and trouble to her own heart
To prevent such state of affairs give
your children Dr. WlncheIl's Teething;
as curative for diseases common
children, it hes no equal--a trial of one
bottle proves it. For sale, wholesale and
retail, Lockert &c Reynolds, druggists.

Sickness Among Animals.

Animals are very subject to worms,
and while such worms exist in them
they cannot thrive, the food that should
strengthen and nourish the animal is
absorbed by the worms; hence, the ami
NAL will have a good appetite and still
continually grow poor. To obviate this
difficulty, give them frequent doses OF
Uncle Sans Condition Powder. 1t is an
excellent preventive of disease among
them, and as positive cure for sickness
common to animals it has no equal 1t
is guaranteed. For sale, wholesale and

A Correction.
Editors Tobacco Leaf-Chronicle.l


1t is evident from the tenor of an
editorial paragraph in your issue of
the 4th inst, that you have been
misinformed in regard to the bridge
that is being built across Sulphur
Fork Creek at this place. You said
the old bridge was washed away in
1865. That is a mistake; but on the
contrary it withstood one of the
highest rises in May, 1865, known to
the oldest inhabitant. In May or
June, 1866, the bridge fell of its own
weight. A sudden rise of the creek
carried it off soon after it fell.
The new bridge will be two or
three feet higher than the old one,
the pillars having been built that
much higher. That part of the work
was performed by an experienced
workman, and in the most substan-
tial and satisfactory manner.
Before the water reaches the dan
ger line at this point on the creek, the
river gets the ascendency, and then
there is no current in that part of the
creek spanned by the bridge. 1t is as
dead as a mill-pond. That makes the
bridge secure. The drift wood gees
in other directions. The bridge will
be perfectly secure if placed on the
pillars as they now stand.

THE SEWERAGE SYSTEM.
The plans and specifications are Read,


DR.. H. E. Beach, chairman of the
sewerage committee, is in receipt of
a letter from r. L. Hartford, of Chat
tanoogo, in regard to the plans and
specifications for the GAINESVILLE sew
erage system. The letter says the
plans are ready, but for the sake of
being doubly sure they will be gone
over carefully a second time to see
if any improve rent can be made.
The letter lays particular stress upon
efficiency and economy, and says
that the best of each should be secured
in making Clarksville's system of
sewerage. The system is so designed
that every foot of ground in Major
Thomas survey will be thoroughly
drained. Mr.. Hartford thinks the
drainage OF the city is simple prob
lem when economy and efficiency
are combined, and he says he has
given much time and study to the
matter. The plan can be improved
somewhat, so the gentleman says, by
running through a little private
property, a diagram of which he has
furnished DIR. Beach.
That ClarksviIle needs a good and
complete sewerage system no one
will deny. The recent heavy rains
have demonstrated that fact thor
oughly. Parts of the city have suf-
fered considerable inconvenience by
water standing on the ground, and il
complete sewerage system is OBJ
tanned it will put stop to this.
