Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1892-05-07

twisting machine in constant opera
tion, turning out knitting yarns, for
which these mills enjoy the highest
reputation of any known in the coun-
try, standing at the very top of the
market, end for which they have
standing orders for all they can pro-
duce, and are now filling an order for
900 pounds for one house, to be de-
livered next month. Seeing the mills
in operation gives one clear under
standing of the perfection of the
work and durability of the goods.
After stretching and drying, the cloth
is run through the shearing machine
and smoothly dressed, ready for mar
ket, and is then packed away in
camphor in the storage room.
They are making run on
light summer jeans, which makes
up in handsome cheap, cool
summer suits, much of which Mr..
Turnkey is having made up into
trousers and retailing at the store at
81 80 pair, and which looks as nice
as cashmere. Their Union cassi-
meres also make up handsomely and
are very durable goods. Their stock
of blankets is simply superb and
handsome.
THE FIGURING MILLS
are Thoroughly equipped for handling
grain. All grain is received by
wagon and unloaded in the receiver,
from whence it is taken by machinery
through the screen and carried to the
scales and weighed. Then it is taken
to the top of the elevator and de-
posted in the airing floors. There
are eight different floors, and the ma
chinery is so arranged as to transfer
the grain from one to another with
out handling or losing a grain and
also for taking it from any floor
desired into the mill. Rarely is
there mill to be found so well
equipped for handling grain and
turning out the finest quality of roller
flour. There are also splendidly
equipped corn mills for making
the best quality of meal.
MERCHANDISING,
Under the management of S. B.
Daley, is carried on to considerable
extent. They have one of the best
supplied and neatest kept country
stores we ever saw, and supply every
thing the community wants. Barter
ing is carried on very extensively.
The country people find sale here
for every little thing they have, such
as butter, eggs, wool hides, corn,
wheat, tobacco, hogs, sheep, cattle,
horses and mules. Will Wright looks
after the
FARM AND STOCK BUSINESS,
and is moving things up live
ly, getting the place well set
in clover and grass and is plant
ing corn, etc. 1t is the best arranged
place we ever saw for handling cat
tie and hogs, with large scales on
which stock is easily penned for
weighing. They have now about
fifty head of fat hogs ready tor mar
ket, a good collection of sheep and
lambs. MIR. Turnkey has seven head
of standard brood mares and num-
Der of highly bred colts. They keep
a fine stallion and jack and are into
the stock business in way to make
money out of it.
PEACHER's MILLS
is one of the most delightful retreats
in all of this country. The scenery
is charming, presenting a romantic
view of the winding stream, the ma
jestic hills, the beautiful, fertile val
leys, ripping springs, and fields ofliv-
ing green. Hunting, fishing and other
sports come in as a diversion. Three
or four fine springs gush from the
hills, in easy distance from the
house. One is great cave spring,
which sends out large stream of
pure, cold water. Then there is the
famous bluespring, rising in the edge
of the millpond-a notable place for
fine trout.
HOW THE DAY WAS SPENT.
This scribe went out behind Ed
Turnley's fine horse, making the trip
in an hour, and had caught fish
enough for dinner before the other
gentlemen arrived. They did not
even wet hook. We had the great
est abundance for a dozen people
suckers and trout from eight to
twelve inches long, which are the
sweetest, best fish in the world. Ben
Gill spent the forenoon teach
ing Herbert Leech how to
kill birds flying behind tree.
Ben, somehow, puts spell on the
gun which makes it shoot around
tree. After some practice, Leech
broke woodpecker's leg on the op-
posite side of the tree from him with
a target rifle, which pleased him
hugely. Gill says lawyers make
country birds progressive when they
get out with gun. In the afternoon
