THE LEAF-CHRONICLE

'''The Leaf-Chronicle''' is a newspaper in the state of Tennessee, founded, officially, in 1890.
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.
