THE OUTLOOK.
What Prominent Citizen Thinks Of the
- Situation.

A LEAF-CHRoNICLE reporter had
an interesting interview this morn
ing with Hon. ID. N. Kennedy,
whose views have always been re
garded as sound and worth some
thing. Speaking of GAINESVILLE, the
present situation and outlook, he was
very hopeful. Said he: "There is
not another town in America of the
same size that could have stood the
shock and shaking up that Clarks-
vile received last winter during the
financial furry that caused the whole
country to tEemble. The loss was no
less than a million and a half Of dol
lars, and it hardly caused jar in our
commercial affairs. After a few
weeks of excitement incident to such
occurrences, business was all righted
up and moving on as smoothly as if
nothing had happened. This, too,
while some of our neighbor-
ing cities, in worse con-
dition, thought GAINESVILLE was
extinct and were drawing straws as
to who should administer on the
estate, secure the biggest share of the
scattered fragments and have the
honor of burying the corpse.
"Clarksville has been twice swept
by fire, and has gone through the
most fearful panic that has come over
the country, unfazed, and is now in
better financial condition, enjoying
more solid prosperity than ever,
There is more money in the banks,
more confidence existing in business
circles and the PEOPLE of the surround
ing country are in better condition.
The scare had the effect to force ccon
omy and keep people from contract
ing unnecessary debts, and while
some suffered heavy losses, the gen
eral public have profited by the eX-
perience, and now GAINESVILLE and
the surrounding country are ON a
solid basis financially and otherwise,
and now there is nothing to hinder
the greatest prosperity
Mr.. Kennedy says the financial
condition of the country is improv-
ing every day and soon he expects an
easy flow of money to encourage
every commendable enterprise, and
while he docs not expect or desire
any great boom, he is looking for a
general revival and solid growth, and
thinks our people should put them.
