The County Court Has Tussle With
the Question.

There was full attendance of
magistrates at the special meeting OF
the County court this morning when
Judge Tyler called the body to order.
The object of the meeting was to lay
the county off into road districts and
to elect road commissioners in COM
pliance with the road law passed by
the last Legislature. The minutes OF
last meeting were read and approved
and the court got down to work.
Each civil district was made a road
district. The following were elected
road commissioners:
First district, Finis Ewing; Sec
ond district, G. w. McCauley; Third
district, Scott Hammond; Fourth
district, Alex Baynham Fifth dis

Squire Smith declined to serve on

Caldwell nominated f. ID. Daniel.
This motion was, however, with.
Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1891-04-11

drawn, and r. Ledbetter was elected
to fill the vacancy.
The next subject discussed was the
number of days to compel people to
work on the roads. The law on the
subject gives the County court the
power to fix this matter, and names
any number from four to eight days
There was a motion to make eight
days the limit, also one to make it
four days. Both motions were lost
and compromise was effected at six
days. There was a strong sentiment,
however, in favor Of four days
The court on last Monday fixed the
tax levy for road purposes at five
cents on the hundred dollars. A mo-
ton was made to day to raise the tax
to 10 cents on the hundred, but it was
promptly voted down. The tax,
therefore, remains at cents on the
hundred dollars worth of taxable
property. This tax must be paid in
money a man will not be allowed to
work it out on the public highways.
After hearing a few petitions for
release from taxation the court ad-
journed.

COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Merchants All Along the Line in Favor
of 1t.

L TIC duuOuuCCllCuly iiuNC III thS
LEAF CHRONICLE yesterday, that a
move was on foot to organize COM
merrial club caused considerable |
talk among the merchants. They |
are all in favor of it and will join it.
The fact that it is the object OF such
an organization to push Clarksville
makes it the more popular. 1t is in
tended to be an auxiliary to the
Board Of Trade, and not in any sense
an antagonist of that body. The
men wanted in it are the business
men of the city-men who mean
business when they join it. They
are being organized all over the
State and GAINESVILLE should have
club second to none. She has the
material, and all that is needed is
some one to take the initiative and
organize it.
The LEAF CHRONICLE has not had
time to see many OF the business
men on the subject, but those who
have been interviewed all signified
their willingness to join CONNER
cial club if it has purely the good OF
CltrksvilIe at heart,
M. Savage is enthusiastic for the
club and will allow his name to go
down as charter member.
A. r. Gholson-"Clarksville needs
a commercial club, and you can put
my name down."
Judge Tyler-"Am in for it it is a
good move and should meet with
popular approval"
M. A, StrattOn-"I will join it and
do all in my power to make it sue
cess"
J. G. Joseph-"I join everything
that has an eye to the interest o.
GAINESVILLE. Put me down."
II. IL. POindexter-"I have beer
wanting a commercial club here fol
some time and am glad you are
working one up. l will go into i
and help all can"
+. Y. Peck-"Commercial club
are good things and GAINESVILLE ough
to have one. Twill join it,"
Mayor Smith-"This should have
been done long ago. The Board o
Trade as a rule is composed of ole
men and the young ones will Stan'
off ana wait for them to do tn
work. The commercial club, as
understand it, looks to the organiza
ton of the young men of the cit,
and no one having the good of tn
: city of GAINESVILLE at heart shoul'
refuse to help in the mOve.'
NJ. c. Northington-"You ca
l count on several members here"
! John s. Neblett-"Am in favor {

Simon Katz-"It is a good move
