The Leaf-Chronicle. The Leaf-Chronicle is a newspaper in the state of Tennessee, founded, officially, in 1808.

The Leaf-Chronicle

First appearing as a weekly newspaper under various names as early as 1808 and eventually as the Clarksville Chronicle, the current name is the result of a subsequent merger, in 1890, with the Tobacco Leaf, named for the area's predominant agricultural crop. (See Goodspeed's History of Tennessee, pg. 817) The Leaf-Chronicle is published daily in Clarksville, Tennessee, being printed at a modern printing plant that is also used to print the weekly and biweekly newspapers controlled by the Gannett Corporation in northern Middle Tennessee. The Leaf-Chronicle achievement that has perhaps received the greatest acclaim in recent years is its continuing to publish every day following downtown Clarksville, and its printing plant, receiving a direct hit from a powerful tornado in January 1999.

History[edit] In 1808, The Clarksville Chronicle newspaper started publication. References[edit] Cooper (profession) Assembly of a barrel, called "Mise en Rose" in French.

Cooper (profession)

A cooper readies, or rounds off, the end of a barrel using a coopers hand adze Cooper at Zuiderzeemuseum Holland The word is derived from Middle Dutch or Middle Low German kūper 'cooper' from kūpe 'cask', in turn from Latin cupa 'tun, barrel'.[1] Everything a cooper produces is referred to collectively as cooperage. A cask is any piece of cooperage containing a bouge, bilge, or bulge in the middle of the container. A barrel is a type of cask, so the terms "barrel-maker" and "barrel-making" refer to just one aspect of a cooper's work. Traditionally there were four divisions in the cooper's craft. In the 21st century, coopers mostly operate barrel-making machinery and assemble casks for the wine and spirits industry.

Coffin-makers are also sometimes known as coopers,[citation needed] though this is an uncommon usage. Jump up ^ Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. 2002. 5th ed.
