TIE PUBLIC BUILDING.
Observer" Favors the Location Mapped
Out by Citizen"
To The Tobacco Leaf-ChronicIe.l

To the Tobacco f-Chrontcle.
In noticing the several commune
cations discussing the location for the
new postOffice, beg to say that the
locati IN en- the corner of Franklin
street and the Square, as suggested by
"Citizen," is decidedly the most con
venient and suitable place, as the
excavation for the foundation and
basement is alre dy there, and all
the old material in those old build
ings can BE- used in the erection of
the new building.
AS the next most convenient lOca-
ton would be the corner of Franklin
and Tenth street, but it is beyond the
reach Of the appropriation. The idea
Of locating it at the double pond on
Franklin street, Mrs. Johnson's lot
on the corner Of Madison street and
Greenwood avenue, or opposite the
public school on Franklin street,
Base Ball Hill, SHUTDOWN does not
offer any comparison to the location
on the Squire for the general good, as
it will build up that part of the town
and be convenient for every person
to get to it on our street railroad from
the remOtest part of new town, the
furnace, Cherry Station and New
Providence. And after the belt rail
rOud is completed from the furnace
ground and 'along the river front
and several other manufacturing
establishments built from Red
river TO the water works
which is destined to be done in the
near future, with our postOfflce lOca
ted as above, will be in the center Of
our business population. Move the
market house off the Square and To-
cate it on the corner of Main stree
between the Square and First street,
which will be an excellent place, af-
lOlbIuS llil DlC lbOliA III an lllC NONAh0
try produce and other business re
quired to be done, with excellent
drainage to keep everything in per-
feet order, and is also convenient to
street railroad accommodation, if de-
sired, from the remotest parts of the
city. Again, in view of the many
beautiful build ng sites along our
river front, which is bound to be
built up in very short time with
fine residences, which will increase
the population in that part of the
town and ought to have some consid-
Grafton in the selection Of this loca-
ton, as all the other parts of the city
will have the advantage of the street
railroad to the Square, which the
river front will never have, and as
all the principal business ever done
in GAINESVILLE will be between Front
street and Third, Main and Com.

WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT.

r. b. Stone, of Cumberland Fur
mace is in the city day having hi
teeth fixed. The truth of the bust
ness is the heavy blasts that have
been fired on the Mineral rail
road have acted like a galvanic bat
terry on him and have loosened
all his teeth. He was buying some
putty this morning to be used il
fastening his masticatOrs in THEN
sockets. He said he was using every
known remedy in the work and wa~
very desirious of getting his mouth
in order by the time the big barrie
cue is had, celebrating the compile
ton of the new road. The fact is,
he wants to do service that day.
In the meantime he is trying to wind
up Mundy's business over in Dick
son, and while he is trying to find ali
of the contractors creditors he says
he has a great time, communing
with nature and gathering wild
flowers in the Coalings.

THE ANNEXED TERRITORY.
Let South olarksville Get a Move On
Her.

The citizens of the newly annexed
territory should lay aside all predlu-
dice growing out of the contest, if
they have any, accept the situation
like courageous men and go to work
to gain the benefits of every adj
vantage offered by the act If they
will do this, they will soon be able
to see the other side of the question !;
will be glad that they are annexed.
South GAINESVILLE is greatly in need
Of good streets and side walks and
now they can have them if they will
half try, and the amount of taxes
they will have TO pay for this purpose
will barely exceed the cost Of time
hey would otherwise have had to
put in on public roads, which is from
four to six days, which 1T Sl.00 per
day is more than many with small
homes will have to pay by by the
increase or addition of city tax.
More than this, the city comes to
their help with $1,000 a year addi-
tionaI, and then the people are guar
anteed good schools, which other
wise is matter that would have
given them some trouble.

IN THE IInITST


A billygoat at JAS. DarnelPs, on
the Dover road, lost its life in a sing
uIar and tragic manner several days
ago. Following the propensity o!
its tribe to butt anything but the
rear extremity of a mule, Billy But
Ter, pet goat with beautifully twist
ted horns that were the envy Of the
entire flock, tackled Mir. DarnelPs
saddle horse, that was browsing
about the yard and amused itself by
letting the graceful folds Of the
horses tail fall over its horns as Sir
William moved his head back and
forth. The fun was fine until Billy's
horns got entangled in the horses
tail when the animal became fright
ened and he began TO kick and run.
Billy's bleats but added to The terror,
and clearing a five-foot fence with
the goat strung out like the tail OF a
kite, the thoroughly frightened horse
ran until almost exhausted, when he
was cornertd and caught by the
Iarm hands, who found it necessary

horns o! the now lifele.s goat fas-
tened in its meshes. There was not

There is just faint whisper going
the rounds to the effect that Col
House is writing a book. The
whisper is so low that q newspaper
man can hardly hear it, but never
thcless it is there. What the book
will be named is mystery, but
some have it that it will be Can it
he True ," People will remember
what a row the ColOne. stirred up
among the preachers when he wrote
"Can it be False?" And they also
remember how some of the diVines
pounced down upon that little book
and tried to annihilatcit. The free adj
vertising that book gotat the hands of
some people in Tennessee would have
cost the author hundreds Of dollars
DR.. Dromgoole knocked the black
out when he wrote: Remember,
John, it sells the book" Yes, it sold
it. Everybody wanted to read it
and a second edition had to be
brought out closely upon the
first. AS writer Col. House has
style that will always place him in
the front. and whatever his new
book will be Called, should he write
one, people will buy it, and further

A BUSY DAY.
The Revenue Bill Tabled IN The Senate
Yesterday.

There was a hard days work done
in both Houses of Tennessee's Legis-
lature yesterday. The morning ses-
sion of the Senate was devoted to
the general appropriation bill and
many amendments were made to
the bill Of 1889. The salary of the
cOmptrOller's clerk was increased
from 81 900 to 81 200 per annum; the
salary of the comptr0lIer's third
clerk was stricken off; two more cir
cult judges were added at a salary Of
~, 800 per annum each; Superinten-
dent Frank NJ. Smith was allowed
200 for travelling expenses the
appropriation to the State Normal
College was increased from $4,000 to
$4,000; the appropriation TO the
| Western Hospital for the insane in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000; for
the Confederate Soldiers Home $35,-
goo; the appropriation to pension
old Confederate soldiers was increas-
ed from 100000 to 100000. There
were many smaller items contained
in the amendments which are too
numerous for mention. 1t is worth
while to state, however, that $50, 000
was appropriated for repairs at the
capitol.
The afternoon in the Senate was
spent on the revenue bill. The bill
was carefully discussed for some time
when a motion was made to table
the measure and carried by a vote OF
twelve to eighteen. Several new
bills were introduced in the Senate,
among which appears one offered by
Mr.. Dismukes, "for the requirement
of the United States of

HARRISON ON The "DRUMMERS."

The cleverest thing that modern poll
tics has witnessed was President Harr-
sons reference to the commercial travel
ers in his speech at Galveston a few
weeks ago. 1t WAS decided departure
from the policy Of the average statesman,
for this class of business men has not
heretofore received any sort of recogni
ton from the politicians, while humanity
in general has begrudged them even a
legitimate place in society and the COM
MERGE of the nation. 1t is not at all sin.
gular then that the utterances of Presi.
dent Harrison at Galveston should excite
some comment. In speaking of the
growth OF American commerce and the
necessity of reaching out after new trade
territory, the president said that the en-
ployment of that successful and infu-
entail class of men known as drummers
was the key note to our commercial
supremacy now and would be in the
future. In this he did not have to 60 at
all out of his way to pay very deserved
tribute to the zeal, energy, pluck and
push OF very worthy class of American
citizens. 1t is believed that President
Harrison is the first public man ever to
take heed of the labors of this class of
business men.

The board of county commissioners
having found out the fact that they were
in error in paying Rox Hardy, county
clerk, an exorbitant salary and extraor-
binary fees for his services as ex-officio
clerk of said board, it seems that they
will now stop the little one-sided game
quite short. Mr.. John Shank, chairman
of the board, so as to make sure for the
future, requested District Attorney L. G.
Fort to furnish him legal and official
opinion which should govern such mat
ters as between the clerk and the board
in the allowing of salary, fees and such.
Our able district attorney at once COM
piled with the request, stating the law
upon the subject in such plain and clear
words that it can not be misunderstood
This check-rein, if held firmly over the
head OF Rox by our county board, will in
the future obviate the necessity of pub
fishing hard facts and at the same time
will save the people of San Miguel county
many thousands of dollars. The opinion
and law in the premises by Mr.. Fort,
we're published in full in Wednesdays
Daily Optic, copy was also furnished
the board for their guide. So, SO, things
will straighten out directly .-La Voz del
