sented since the war. Them fel
LEWIS are getting down to business
without any casing and are making
it count" Billy's figure of speech
detracts nothing from the ability and
efficiency of their predecessors, but
some of our boys take to the work
like ducks to water. Johnson and
Dunbar occupy desk together and
work like two brothers. Johnson is
the liveliest fellow of all and knows
every man in the house. It's how

four Of the old boys in the two
houses that slept in the leaves with

pulling together, a they fought side
by side, and they determined to do
something for their helpless com
rades. Col. Z. +. Tansil, of Weak

pealed to Tansil to take it; he re

nessee they sprung to their feet in

They took the battery, but no of the

A MULE KILLED.
A Serious Accident at the Franklin
Street Railroad Crossing.


There was a serious accident at the
Franklin street railroad crossing last
evening about 3 O'Clock. Frank
Jones, negro boy, had been in town
with wagon and team, the proper
ty of James Manion, of Guthrie, and
had started home. AT the above
mentioned crossing, in some way, he
became ratified, or the engineer OF
the Princeton train is guilty Of Grim
inal carlessness, one or the other, and
as a result Mr.. Manion has a dead
mule and a demolished wagon this
morning. The facts are hard to get
at, for the very simple reason that
whenever a thing of the kind hap
pens the railroad employees are i'm
mediately afflicted with a violent
case of lOck-jaw. If there was a
witness to the accident other than
the trainmen he cannot be found
this morning.
Hearsay has it, however, that the
wagon was struck in the middle and
cut into two pieces. One of the
mules was drawn under the wheels
and crushed to death. The front
part of the wagon, negro and all
was hoisted on the pilot Of the en-
CINE and carried down TO the Bending
Works for repairs, where it was
dropped. The negro was consider.
ably bruised, but was able to go tC
Guthrie on the 5 o'clock train last
evening. The mule was worth per
haps $4,000 and the wagon was
simply substantial country vehicle
worth in the neighborhood of $4,000
So far there has been no blame at
tachcd to the railroad employees o.
to the negro, people looking upon il
as nothing more than a common &C
cident. 1t seems strange, however
that such an accident should happier
at such place, when trainmen are
given instruction to use the utmos
caution at such public crossings.

pounds. Mr.. Frey sold for 10 cents
and Sc and realized STA 10 by the

WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT.

If there ever was a set of men who
have had abuse heaped upon them 1t
is the three appointed by Mayor
Smith 10 look after the streets Of
GAINESVILLE. The chairman of the
street committee, II. +. Gilbert, comes
in for a greater share of the abuse
than possibly any other man on the
committee. He is called upon to
stop pig-crack here, fill mud-hole
y0nder and cut ditch somewhere
else, and if he don't do it at once
somebody is jumping down on him
with both feet, and causing his hair
to be sprinkled with silver! People
want pavements that would have
done credit to some of the cities Of
Spain away back before De Soto was
born, and they want streets of gran
lite or asphalt, and in the face of this
kick against paying taxes.
Xxx
There is bound to be a change in
street and pavement building in
GAINESVILLE, judging from the hue and
cry that is being raised 10 some quar-
tiers, and a plan for pavements that
will meet the approval of all is being
looked out for. 1t is known by all
students of ancient history and Chair
man Gilbert is one of them, that the
finest pavements ever used in any
country belong to the mosaic type.
About the close of the last century
there was one dug up near Seville in
Spain which was supposed to have
been constructed anterior to the
reign of DOmitian, which some
want Chairman Gilbert to copy after.
The pavement was found 8! feet I'M
der ground and was thirty feet wide,
1t contained a representation of the
circus games of the ancient5, in a
parallelogram in the center, three
sides of which were surrounded by
compartments containing portraits OF
the MUSES., interSpersed with figures
of animals and some imaginary sub
Ijects. In the race course could be
seen a chariot overturned, the chart
oteer thrown out of his seat, horse
men dismounted, fractions steeds
and broken harness. The chariOteer
having been injured in the smashup,
is supported by two men belonging
to different faction, which is ascer-
tanned by their costumes, which in
all the figures are well represented by
various colored stones. The horses
are of a deep brown color. Their
tails are bobbed just like our mod
ern racers and are apparently full of
spirit. The fact of the business is
that you can find almost any kind OF
picture you want done in colored
stone, and this is just what CIarks
vile needs.
Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1891-02-19

With this brief outline Chairman
Gilbert will find no trouble in catch
ing the idea. He can see it all and
will at once take heed. DIR. Beach is
handy with chemicals and can dc
the coloring act to perfection, while
Jno. Conroy or Pat Sullivan viii
take the contract of getting out the
rock. The chairman will have
nothing to do but oversee the Job,
and the LEAF-CHRONICLE will fur
nish the wind. This is the only way
to get white-winged peace to hover
over the city.
