Daily Tobacco Leaf Chronicle

The Age-Herald, speaking of Mr. Woodward's connection with Clarksville interests, says he has not disposed of his Birmingham property, which is very valuable, and is not inclined to believe that he intends moving to Clarksville. The LEAF-CHRONICLE was misled in stating that he had sold out in Birmingham, nevertheless Mr. Woodward has purchased a good deal of valuable real estate here, has identified himself with the enterprise and steady growth of the city, and all indications point to the fact that he intends making Clarksville his future home.

The great opening here for the exercise of his enterprise in substantial development, the cheapness of property, the healthy location of the city, good society, churches, schools, etc., are all strong incentives for him to come here, and that he will do so we haven't a single doubt. Moreover, he will meet with a hearty welcome and find the entire business community of Clarksville ready to rally around him in support of every movement set on foot looking to the continued growth of the city. His coming inspires new life and courage in the citizens, because of his experience, conservatism and great success in developing the iron industry, regarding his judgment on the value of our mineral resources superior to any. Furthermore, we can say to the Age-Herald that in the course of the next twelve months Clarksville will be making a superior quality of iron so cheap that it will make Birmingham ashamed of herself.
