Something About the New City on the
Cumberland.

The new city on the Cumberland
now being laid out by the Cumber
land Land Company (limited,) is
located in the beautiful valley Of
South Cross Creek, about half way
between the Dover furnace and Beal
Spring. The railroad to be built as a
branch to the l.. & N. will run ten
miles or more through the cOmpany's
land connecting with the river al
Bear Spring, where they are building
splendid wharf. The Dover people
think of having this line extended
down the river seven miles to that
place. The site for the new town we
understand was selected by Dr.
Steager, who has an eye for the
romantic and beautiful, and it is a
charming location. All along the
line of this road from Bear Spring tC
the l.. & N. is a dense forest of tim.
Der, much of it second growth, on
the land cleared off forty years age
by the old Dover furnace company,
and is now just the right size and
quality for making charcoal. The
ovens and large charcoal furnace will
be located in the new city. The
land along this line is also full of the
finest quality of iron ore; and a little
ways from the new town is one OF
the finest deposits of fire clay known
anywhere.
We are glad to note the enterprise
of these English people. 1t will be
very beneficial to GAINESVILLE if our
people will get new move on them
and keep pace with The operations OF
these people. While they are build
ing this new town we ought to doubl,
the population of GAINESVILLE.

OFFICERS ELECTED.
The Office of President Falls to a Clarks.
vile Gentleman.

Yesterday was great day with
eX-Confederates at Winchester.
There were over 500 delegates to the
reunion present and the attendance
was estimated from 5000 to 10000
people. Several speeches were made
in the morning and much enthusiasm
was aroused.
The business of most importance
in the evening was the appointing OF
committees and the election of Off
GERS. The committee on credentials
is composed of the following gentle
men:
Judge Bearden, Clay Stacker,
Thos. Perkins, Capt. Talley and
Frank Moses.
The following officers were chosen
to serve the ensuing year:
Capt. T. H. Smith, of GAINESVILLE,
President; Capt. Frank A. Moses,
First Vice-President; Col. Jno. M.
Taylor, Jackson, Second Vice-Presi
dent; Jno. p. Hickman, of Nash.
vile, Secretary Jesse Ely, of Nash
vile, Treasurer r. Lin Cave, OF
Nashville, Chaplain; Frank Ander-
son, of Nashville, Sergeant alarms.
The election of Capt Smith as
president of the Association is an
honor worthily bestowed. Few men
are endowed with better qualiflca-
siOns for the position, and none have
the interest of the State Association
Of Confederate Veterans more at
heart. He is the right man in the
right place. franklin, Tenu., was
chosen as the next meeting place.

The knights Of Honor Meeting.

The knights of Honor had quite a
large turn out and enthusiastic meet
ing last night. Reports show large
increase in the organization and new
features are being adapted to still
cheaper the cost of insurance and
improve lodge benefits. The organi-
zation, like all other life insurance
enterprises, has suffered greatly dur,
ing the past year from epidemics,
but still the insurance is cheap, all
expenses for lodge dues and a policy
of $1,000 being between 1924 and $50 a
year.
The reporter was instructed to issue
circulars giving notice of the action
contemplated and calling a general

NEW CONTRACTING FIRM.
The Sewer Committee VIII Finish the
Much Mooted System.

About the middle of July, 1890,
Stewart q Quinn, a contracting firm,
began work on Clarksville's new sys-
tenn of sewerage. They worked on
it until early last spring, when they
made an assignment, leaving the
work in a had condition. Soon after
this contract was entered into be-
tween the city and Heath & Bren-
nan, of Birmingham, Ala. This firm
has been working on the system since
that time, but now the matter is
thrown on the hands of the Sewer
committee of the City Council.
Heath & Brennan have employed
attorneys and are preparing to enter
suit against the city for damages.
The damages claimed by the contrac-
tors are alleged to have been sustained
by the late washout that occurred at
the mouth of the sewer. The city
holds that no one is responsible for
that washout except Heath & Bren-
nan. Thus the matter stands, and
since the contractors have quit work
and are talking of going to law the
committee has resolved itself into a
contracting firm and propose taking
the bovine monstrosity by the horns
and completing the work, They are
now making arrangements, buying
material and tools, to begin their ex
periments. II. e. Beach, jr., will,
in all probability, be put at superin-
tending the work.

of silk covered diyan pillows borrowed

When these pillows are incased in

shortly render them unfit for use.
This may be prevented by buying a
yard or two of variously coiored and
decorated pungums, that may be made

not only save the wear and tear on the
pillows. and are ridiculously inexpen-
