advantages and Importance of estab-
fishing Stage Line from Chattanoo-

pass through Jasper, Winchester,
Fayetteville, Pulaski and Lawrence

Althou gh the project is new we en-

its Importance. And we trust the
people for whose benefit the line is
intended, will interest themselves in
this matter Immediately. In our
