WATER. LIGHTS AND SEWERS.
The committee on water, lights and sewers
made a report recommending the erection of
gas lamps on 7th between + and G streets,
which the committee stated is the only square
in that neiGhborhood that is not lighted The
committee also reported that the necessity for
tie sc wer on Florida avenue was urgent. The
report called attention to the fact tpat the
appropriation for this sewer was available In
Juiv last and the contractor stated, SO tho re-
po.t saws. TIM. the citizens might consider
thcmselvcs lucky if they get the sewer there by
next spring. Tho committee also recommended
/ the LAYING Of water mains and the construction
I of sewers and concluded by asking that the
antiqIated practice Of failing to light the street
lamps on moonlight nights be ended and that

Free Bridges.

Knoxville has appropriated $780,
600 for building bridges and
has let out the contract for bridges
over streams on prominent streets en-
tering the city. for $4,000 and has
$4,000 of the fund left to apply to
streets. Knox county has also ap-
propriated $4,000 for an exhibit at
the Worlds Fair. Knoxville is
pushing ahead with rapid strides,
outgrowing all the towns in the
State. This demonstrates that pub
lie enterprise pays. People who are
afraid to spend some money for pub
lie enterprise may calculate to grope
their way through life on a slow
coach in the dark. How long will
Ciarksville people be contented to
live, nesting in the shadow of her
seven hills, fenced in by toll gates,
bridges and ferries? This is the
question. Very soon our big furnace
will blow IN, presenting ClarksVllle
as a location for manufacturing all
articles of iron and wood cheaply.
Are we going to invite strangers
here for that purpose and show them
a city in the dark, and fenced in all
round by toll gates and ferries p?
Let us initiate the example of Knoxs
vile and adopt some plan by which
the city and county can open all
their toll gates and ferries free to the
world. Set big light on every hill
and house top and invite strangers
and neigl,bors in to sup with us and
make Clarksville great manufac-
turing city. The men, money and
brains are here to do it.

Memorial.

At q meeting of the directory of the
First National Bank, held May 2, 1892,
a committee was appointed to draft
resolutions on the death of j. p. Y.
Whitfield. The committee reported
the following preamble and resolu-
tions, which were, on motion, unani-
mously adopted:
Report: 1t is with painful emotions
and sense of great loss that We con-
template the recent, sudden and uneX'
pected death on the 25th of April,
1899, of our friend and associate in
business, j. p. Y. Whitfield, who had
been q director of this bank for the
past fifteen years. During this long
period he had ever exercised a faithful
and painstaking interest in the affairs
of the bank, and rendered valuable
services in the conduct of it's business.
Having been also extensively engaged
in business for many years on his own
account and in connection with Others,
he maintained to very high degree
q character for fair dealing, prompti-
tude and integrity, well worthy of imi-
tation by others. AS an intelligent
and honorable, enterprising, public
spirited and thoroughly systematic
business man, his life work has been
highly important to the community in
which he lived.
Bowing in humble submission to
this dispensation of an all-wise Provi-
dence, therefore be it
Resolved, That by the death of j. p.
Y. Whitfield this bank loses an ever
faithful and valuable director, the
community one of its most honorable,
enterprising and judicious business
men, and his family, most of all, a
loving and afiectionate husband and
father.
Resolved, That these proceedings be
recorded in the Minute Book, and a
copy furnished the family Of the de-
ceased, and also the city papers.

Clarksville Lodge No. 80 Appoints q
CommitteeWith Full Power to Act,

M, held an interesting meeting last
night, and among other things con-
sidered the question of erecting a
Masonic Temple, with opera. house
ground floor, at the corner of Third
and Commerce streets, on the lot now
occupied by d. A. Harrison's carri.
age factory. The meeting was large
ly attended and much interest was
manifested in regard to the temple.
A committee was appointed to act
for the Lodge in every particular,
and with full power. The committee
is composed of W. j. Ely, chairman; ;
Jno. f. House, j. j. Crusman,
Samuel Hodgson and j. f. Wood.
This committee, if deemed advisable,
will act with similar committee
from Clark sville Chapter and the
Clarksville Commandery.
The Commandery has agreed to
purchase twenty feet south of and
adjoining the lot now owned by the
Blue Lodge and the Chapter, and
which is mentioned above. The lot
therefore will be rs feet wide, which
will allow sixty feet within the walls:
the extra space will allow for an alley
six feet wide along the south side of
the building, into which the win.
dows and doors on the ground floor
of the theatre will open, affording
every means of speedy ogress in case
of panics or fires.
