Something That VIII Interest the Readers
E of the Great CIarksville To-
bacco District.

The following items clipped from
the columns of the Kentuckian will
be of interest to readers of the LEAF.
CHRONICLE.
Primus Graves, COL, died at his
home near Empire Monday evening
very suddenly Of what one of his
physicians thinks was a genuine case
OF hydrophobia. The Fair
Company met yesterday and elected
Mr.. j. r. Caudle president, Mr.. M.
Q. Forbes vice-president, and Mr..
John B. Galbreath secretary and
treasurer. October IL to Is was de-
cided upon as the time for the next
fair. The work Of laying
the track on the o. V. from Gracey
to this citys was commenced Tues
day and is progressing nicely. The
ties are being placed in position by a
large crew of.hands and closely fol-
lowing another crew is engaged in
placing the rails. The bridge over
Sinking Fork is ready for the iron
and work is being pushed on the
third bridge west of the city. The
bridges will be of iron and those
over Little river will have a
hundred feet span. Several extra
trains are being run daily over the
@. & r. road hauling iron and cross.
ties to Gracey, from which place
they are distributed along the O. V.
as fast as needed. Further
investigation shows that the report
sent. out by the papers from Paducah
a few days ago Ito the effect that
Hiram Smith had been found in
the Cumberland. river, near Dycus-
burg, was untrue. The body found
in the drift was that OF hog. Some
OF young Smiths relations, accom-.
panied by several private detectives,
went to Dycusburg Tuesday for the
purpose OF Identifying the body and
looking after the case, but their trip
availed nothing and they returned
home Wednesday. The sudden dis.
appearance of Mr.. Smith is still
mystery and may never be solved.
The base ball fever / has struck
Cadiz. The Telephone, of this week
devotes nearly column to a game
played by a Cadiz nine against the
Canton's. The score stood AZ to Is in
favor of the former. They would
have made more runs but all the
players were broken down before the
seventh inning.
Memphis held county convention
yesterday and selected delegates to
the State convention, which meets at
Nashville tomorrow week. There
were one hundred and nineteen dele
gates chosen, and they were instruct
ed to seek to have the State delega-
ton instructed for Cleveland. Hon.
J. III. Taylor was recommended for
delegate to Chicago.
There will likely be another lynch
ing In Tennessee before Monday.
Yesterday near Chattanooga "a negro,
John Weenes, raped respectable
white woman, Mrs. Amelia Mavily,
on the road side. He was identified
and put In Jail. There is strong talk
OF lynching.

. The price of Panama stock on the

will be required to complete the enter
prise.-Detroit Free Press.

there are no canals on the planet Mars,

1t is doubtful. however, if that enter

take millions more to make a single
