Two FAMOUS JOKEs.-The memory
of Theodore Hook, the celebrated Eng
glish numorist is very appropriately
associated with the most audacious
Jest on record, viz, his announcement
when recalled from his post as Gov
ernor of Mauritius on charge Of en-
bezzling $4,000 of the public money,
that he had come home 'on ac-
count of disorder in his chest" But
the most brilliant Of his comic feats was
achieved in concert with his famous
rival Tom Hood.
The two were strolling one summer
evening on the outskirts Of London
with their friend Charles Mathews,
the great ac,o2, when Hood said to
Hook
"Toey call us the inseparables;;' but
ar,er all, it's only natural that Hook
and-eye should always be together-eh,
Tne0.?n
,.E~avo. Tom" cried Hook; that's
the best I've heard for 4 long time. |
say, suppose we have a match which of
rs two can make the best joke on the
spur of the moment? Charley Mat
hcws here shall be umpire, and the
loser shall stand treat for a supper 70:
three.
>.Donel" said Hook and scarcely
was the word uttered when they espied
a sign board. the owner of which, wish
ing TO advertise that he sold beer, had
unluckily worded the announcement,
''Bear sold here"
"Oho, said Hook, Il suppose that
bear is his own Bruin!'
"Well done = cried Charles Ma
thews. you'll have hard work to beat
that, friend Thomas"
Il dare say he'll do it, though y said
Theodore; she carries more than two
faces under one Hood, don't you,
Tom 2.
At that moment they turned a sharp
corner and came in sight of small
tumble-down house standing in the
midst of wretched little plot of Worn
and trampled grass, Just in front OF
which was displayed q huge board with
the inscription, Beware the dog.
Hood looked warily round him in all
directions, and, finding no dog any
where visible, picked up q broken piece
of brick and scribbled underneath the
warning, "NNare be the dog?"
"Well, I'll tell you what it is, my
boys said Charles Mathews, Il can't
decide between two such jokes as those,
and what's more, I'm not going to try
so we had better all go up and sup to-
gether and each pay his own share. y

our Coal Possibilities.

The Goals found about sixty miles
west of FrontRoyal andRiverton are ex-
ceedingly pure. They contain but lit
tie ash and only trace Of sulphur and
phosphorus. The supply is inexhaust-
ible The coke made of some of them
is first class in all respects and equal to
charcoal in some ofits points; is strong
er and fully as well adapted to blast
furnace purposes. The coke tests a
slight amount of ash-about per cent
only little over one-half the aver
age amount contained in other good
coke
The great demand for coke to supply
the rapidly increasing iron and affiliated
and ancillary industries eagerly seek
inc locations in that section, will be
source Of incredible wealth to the South.
But a careful study of the resources,
topography, water ways. markets, sup
ply and demand of this country, will
suggest at once the manufacture Of
coke as an industry altogether distinct
from its iron making uses.
The coal beds just across the line in
West Virginia have such favorable
Typographical position rs regards the
great territory west of the Mississippi
river and east of the North Mountains,
that coke making as product of COM
mon commerce to supply these markets
would be valuable adjunct to the
present purposes Of coke production.
The West has always looked to COnnclls-
willie for sunplics and in some instances has
had to pay the exhorbitant price of $40 per
ton for coke Now these fields near by IN
West Virginia have more coal, just us good
coke and as easy transportation, then why
not light the hillsides there with the fires OF
innumerlble additional cokc-oycns to supply
this inviting field of commerce? And not
alone to the West, but to the South and the
South American States with which these coal
fields can have uninterrupted connection and
communication This is practical and i'm
portant subject and one well worthy oractuai
experimental demonstration.
To meet the full measure of their uses, an
industrial exploitation, exploration and eX-
animation of these Goals should be made for
the purpose OF determining their mctallur-
gical and commercial value. On this knowl-
edge rests the fullest Development of our re-
sources, the greatest establishment of our in
dustrial pants, the maximum growth of our
population and the mghtiest aggregation of
our commensurate weaith.-Front Roydi Ga

some $4,000, and then Leslie Sum-

WE TOLD you SO.
More Coming-Lookout for olarksville,
the Boomigest City in the Land.


Keep your eyes on the LEAF
CHRONICLE for news in advance. 1t
is mind-read and diviner OF
things, and can discern movements
and tell just how transactions are
going to work out. The LEAF
CHRONICLE was the first paper to
give out the Information, over a
month ago, in regard to the lease of
the Princeton road to the Ohio Val
ley people, and that they were going
to build through to Nashville, and
it told six months ago that the o. V.
people had secured the dummy line
by which 10 OBJ ain the right of way
through Nashville, and, moreover,
that new order of things was going
to be inaugurated around here.
While the Princeton road was an
expense to the l.. q N, it will prove
valuable to the o. V. and valuable
to Evansville. Now the l.. & N.
can turn her attention to the devel-
opment of the iron interests around
Clarksville. She has the dead wood
on that by extending branches and
spurs into the ore banks, and this
will soon afford the company more
paying traffic than all the balance of
the road between Louisville and
Memphis. There is iron enough, of
the very'finest quality, on the Min
eral road to run fifty furnaces CEN
fury, and there is tcarcely a doubt
that when the Gracey- Woodward
furnace starts it will materially low
err the cost of producing iron below
| Birmingham. Then we shall see
capitalists here building furnaces,
steel plants, rolling mills, foundries,
etc.
GAINESVILLE is in line with the pro-
gressive development of the times.

order; take hold of the thing and
Iget all you can out of it.

OWEN & MOORE.
A Mistake.

Reroits have been circulated in
Trigg county to the effect that no
more tobacco will be shipped here
over the Princeton branch railroad.
This is not true. The Princeton
road, as will be seen, has been leased
to the Ohio Valley, but that will not
affect the shipment of tobacco here.
The new ownership will be compell-
ed to haul produce here, as elsewhere
it may be directed, on reasonable
terms. Besides we do not apprehend
that the new management will be
hostile to GAINESVILLE. They can't
afford to play sucl hand. If
Clark vile offers the best market, to-
bacco will continue to come here.
