County.
The Assessors are still coming in, but
most of them are bringing less property
than last year. The decrease is not so
heavy in any one township, but in the
whole county it will foot up neat sum.
While the people are congratulating
themselves that they are returning less
property for taxation, the thought will
return that the rate will be increased.

Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1892-11-04
THE RECORD OF DEATH.
Jas e. Franklin, an Old Citizen,
Passes Away.
He Was Onas Prominent Man in
Clarksviile and Had Many Friends
Among Older Citizens.

The LEAF-CHRONICLE regrets tC
announce to-day the death of Jas. K.
Franklin which, occurred at his home
on College street last evening at {
O'Clock. Mr.. Franklin had been i'll
for some time, aid knew he must
die. He expressed himself as not
being afraid OF death in the least
feeling full well that he had made
peace with his maker.
Jas. E. Franklin, at one time, was
a prominent man in Clarksvllle. BE.
fore the war he was classed as a poll
tician, and was leading one in the
city. He was appointed postmaster
and old citizens say he made the best
GAINESVILLE ever had. He finally
saved up quite neat sum of money,
and being tailor by trade, he
went into the clothing business
here, and for number OF
years was successful. Business
adver5es came, however, and he lost
all he had. He never recovered,
financially. He had many fine traits
OF character, and Notwithstanding
the fact that he had been kept out OF
public life for number Of years by
business reverses, sickness, etc., his
numerous old friends were very
much panied at learning of his death
this morning.
Mr.. Franklin had always been n
welcome caller at the LEAF CHRON-
ICLE Office, and in days past had
done the TOBACCO LEAF many good
turns. His son, Ben Franklin, now
dead, Was for many years foreman in
The LEAFS jobrOcms, and a more de
voted man to duty never lived. His
son being employed so long in the
Office naturally threw the deceased
in close intimacy with the proprie-
tors of the paper, and it is with the
deepest regret that we chronicle mis-
death. TO his family we extend our
sincere coincidence in their deep hour
of sorrow.
1t may not be out of place to re.
mark here that Mr.. Franklin was q
e-long Democrat, and said only q
few days ago that he wanted 10 live
