They Want To Advertise Clarksville.

The Press committee of the Com

terday evening to consider PROPOSE.

Haslett, of st. Louis, for advertising
the city. These gentlemen propose
to get up the work in elegant book
form OF 100 or more pages, to be hand.
somely illustrated with cuts of lead
ing buildings, scenery, photographs
of prominent citizens, ETC., and to
contain descriptions of the city loca-
ton, various enterprises, facilities
and possibilities. They propose to
print not less than $500 and want to
make 5000 copies, to be furnished the
Commercial Club at 25 cents per
copy for free distribution, the bust
ness men paying for the cuts and adj
vertising at rs to $50 per page, accord
ing to the cost of the cut and space
occupied. The committee decided
that the proposition was not in
proper shape to be presented the
Club, and recommended that the
gentlemen first see the business men
and know if they would take suffi-
Gent space and furnish matter to
guarantee book creditable to the
city.

The old adage, "laugh and grow
fat" is applicable to your humble
scribe, and the friends around Rig
gins, Tenn. Through the kindness
of the State Board of Missions, w.
j. Ely, of your city, and others, we
have secured the ceiling for the roof
Of the Baptist house of worship he
ing built at that place, also the rough
ceiling for the walls. Providence
permitting, we expect to protract
our services from the fifth Sunday.
In company with Mr.. Ep. Lyle, I
went, on Monday last to the planning
mills near Erin, run by Mr.. Chris,
in search of finishing lumber for the
church, and found Mr.. Chris polite
gentleman and willing to contribute
to the good cause l am representing
Returning, l came by Hon. w. B.
Dunbar's, where l was kindly enter
tanned by himself and family. After
refreshments for myself and horse, /
came over to Shiloh in the evening.
Shiloh is quite a lively little town,
and doing thriving business. She
has two general stores, two axe-han-
die factories and public school. The
school house has been enlarged late
ly to accommodate the many schol-
ars, and it is growing in interest and
usefulness under the efficient man
agement of Prof. Byars. j. ID.
Fletcher and w. A. Allen are the
clever merchants of the place.
The drought was ended here last
evening and night by fine and re-
freshing rain. The dry weather had
begun to affect the crops here and the
pastures had almost failed. The far
mers had begun to feed their stock.
Gratitude should fill our every heart.
Palmyra Is doing large amount
of shipping at this time and has been
most OF the time since moved here.
AX-handles, slaves for tight and
slack work, lime, lumber, shingles
and hoop poles make the railroad
yards lively place. G. w. BuquO
and 10 Rosenfield are our merchants.
Davis and Wickham are our smiths,
and b. w. Owen entertains the trav-
cling public. Since your Joe opened
his store here, sugar is so cheap that
we all can afford to use it in our cof-
fee every Sunday morning and have
pie occasionally.
The matrimonial business is rather
dull at present, though from the
signs of the times we hope for an
Improvement in the fall. Last week
we had regular December and May
marriage when our old friend James
Powers led to the altar his bride, Miss
Jarman. May his strength never
grow less, and his Powers increase
more and more.
GAINESVILLE had better look to her
laurels if she does not want Palmyra
to Outstrip her in the way of bust
ness. Her business men are leaving
and coming here. Let them come,
we have a glad welcome for good
people, and especially for those who
come to add to our business prosper
Try. We need planning mill and an
axe handle factory to work up our
timber. Some good man might do
we'll here in these lines. We also
need good Touring mill.
Respectfully,
G. A. BARNES.

Evening vatssss-Lasl Chronicle.


Another break in the sewer this
morning and another delay in the
completion OF work that should
have been finished months ago and
turned over 10 the city. So frequent
have these breaks been that the pub
lie is asking the questions, when will
the sewer be completed? What kind
OF a system of sewerage will we have
when it is completed ? What assur-
rance will the city have that it will
stand after il has been declared fin.
ished and turned over 20 the city?
The numerous breaks that have oc-
Cured have given rise to the belief
that there has been misman-
agement from the start. On whose
shoulders should rest the blame
for this? Have the contractors not
done their duty? If not, had the
board no recourse, no means Of bring
ing them to time as to their work
and increasing the snail's pace that
has characterized the enterprise?
Had they no means of enforcing the
necessary precaution on the part Of
the contractors to avert the serious
breaks that occur at almost every
heavy rain Is the construction Of
the work faulty that it should so
often give way? These Questions
that the chairman of the sewer com.
mittee should be able to throw some
light on, and the public will be glad
to hear it.

ANOTHER BREAK.

A break, serious in its nature, Oc-
cured on College street little west
of Second. The dirt from the exca-
walton had been piled up against
Mrs. Hugh Drane's fence, and the
braces giving way, let it down into
the sewer ditch, carrying with it a lot
of timber and rocks that were on top
of the ground. The break seriously
threatens Mrs. Drane's premises. 1t
will take much work and considera-
bic money to repair the damage, and
it is safe to say that Clarksville's
sewer contract will not be completed
until the frosts of autumn cast their
whitening blight over that bucket and
mule combination.

not understand that the street

Jackson justly GAYS we must recognize
the right of a corporation or business

men do not accord this right to corpora
tons or firms, but undertake to say
who shall be employed. We will fur
nlsh the men, fix the price and time of

the pay, and if you are not willing to
| come to our terms we will strike, and
if you undertake to employ any one
else he is "scab" and must be stoned.
| think it not only fair to the stock
holders of the Street Car Company, but
TO the citizens as we'll, that no union

they are governed by rules that cause
such injustice to their employers and

The selection of tile for the floors and

furnishings for the building is the mat
ter now under consideration. The
committee expects to make contract

ommend the adoption of the English,
which is said to be the best quality.
The work on the interior of the build
ing is being rapidly pushed. The con-
crete floors are all IN and the fathers
are we'll under way. Plastering Will

IN II Just like Paris or London, you
know" was the excited comment Of q
lady seated high up on the roof Of
Fifth avenue stage. And if it isn't
''just like" this ride up from the Wash
ington arch to Central park is a strong
reminder of London from the Knife
board" and the pleasant hours to be
spent ON top of the Partisan buses. In
New York the possession of the roof is
most vigorously contested by ladies.
1t is the vantage ground from which
the visitor to the metropolis gets the
best view of the stored wealth and
grandeur of Fifth avenue. In the cool
of the evening it is where tired shop
girls and their ardent escorts, young
couples arrayed in their best suits of
clothes, take a happy evening out above
the maddening crowd. Ten cents pair
goes UNNECESSARILY further on top of q
Fifth avenue stage than twice the money
in ie cream. The inside of the stage
may be empty-it usually is in fair
weather rs long as one vacant seat re-
mains on top. The seeker after fresh air
and the sights of the streets declines to
ride anywhere else but on the roof.
If four times the number Of coaches
were run the roof seats could contain
but small proportion Of those who de-
light to use them at certain hours of the
day. II you desire to enjoy the finest
street of residences in the world from
the most advantageous point Of view
you must go down to Washington place
and start with the stage. And right
there is where you occasionally get the
additional treat Of dozen half hysterical
women and shouting young girls scram-
bling up steep, crooked, s-inch stair
way for the first time. From that time
you will probably think the abolition Of
the old Broadway stage was mistake.
and that al they needed was double
row of roof seats to have converted them
into Joy forever.-New York Herald.

THE FIRST HE WANTED.


But Had to Have.
Ray Coates, a young man 81 years
old, procured license a few days ago
to wed Nellie Griffin. The young lady's
father objected to the prospective ALI
ance and declared the match of. The
license was allowed to remain In a state
of "inocuous desuetude" for a few days
when Mrs. Jonathan Powers entered the
clerks Office and wanted license for
the same young man to marry her
daughter Maggie. She was informed
that the first hcense must be returned
before another could issue. Mrs. Pow
ers said the case was imperative and
that marriage ceremony must be per-
formed. She returned the first license
shortly after and said that Ray would
be IN after new license. He didn't
appear when expected, but he stepped
INTO the clerks Office yesterday morn
ing in company with another young
man and applied for Il second authority
to wed. The license was issued.
