OUT OF TOWN NOTES
CLARKsvILLE NoTEs.

the citizens of this place with equa-
nimity Clarksville's dryness is
made moist many a time day
through the agency of railroads and
express companies, and no doubt the
same condition will be noticeable aft
er the statewide legislation is in eff
feet
A few nights ago several persons of
pronounced prohibition tendencies
were on their way home, and like most
men will do, began to chant melodious
strains to the retiring moon, while
that benign orb winked the other eye.
This was the lay:
GAS long as the Kongo flows to the sea,
AS long as the leaves grow on the bam-
boo tree,
Our love and devotion
VIII not cause commotion,
Just so long as Kentucky
Is some ten miles from thee"
City of GAINESVILLE is in the market
to sell some $4,000 4 1-2 per cent
bonds, known as the Water Works Re
funding Bonds in order to liquidate
outstanding bonded debts due Febru-
airy 1, 1909 If the city can dispose
of these securities at a premium, it
will be a master stroke of financial
diplomacy, while business both large
and small are still feeling the pinch
of the recent panic. 1t is to be hoped
that the advertised sale will be fore
cast of returning prosperity to this
community.
From every part of the city mem
bers of the Twentieth Century Lodge

Never has GAINESVILLE society en-
/ tered upon a seasons activity with
such scant enthusiasm than has char
acterized the preliminaries to the
1909-10 season. Dizziness of times, to-
bacco situation and statewide agita
tion may in part be due to the tame be
ginning While arrangements for q
few coming events have been made
nothing of an elaborate measure is
noted.
The wedding of Charles Warield
and Miss Mary Harris last Wednesday
at the home Of the bride was quite an
suspicious opening for the social sea
son, and marked a pretty home affair

fist Church.

neighbor, will in the near future vote

the state of Tennessee, if the prohibi
