We learn from the Knoxville Wing that this
road, destined TO be Of great Importance to
East Tennessee, and other roads, is now under
contract, from Newport TO Beans Station
distance Of thirty miles, and besides this, the
bridges over Holston and Clinch rivers are un-

are the undertakers, aud the company have
the means at their command, which is guar
autee that the work will go forward with dis
match. The contractors are bound TO CON-
plete their jobs by the first Of January, 1897,
only fourteen months!
This road crosses the Virginia and Tennessee
road at Morristown, on the line between the
counties of Granger and jefferson, making
that an important location in many respects.
A large town must spring up there, and real
estate must be valuable.

This is the first intimation we have seen
from any source TINT 'Col. Gentry received q

or Of any expression which ''threatened TO dis
pute. in a certain contingency, by force or
something Of that sort, the right Of Andrew
johnson to become the Chief Magistrate OF
this State" These absurd ideas were doubt
less conceived in the anti American brain of
the writer above, and If they mean any thing
at all, are only an indication of what the sup
porters of johnson would have done, or at
tempted, had the position of the two candi-
dstes for Governor been reversed. Such anti
American projects never could have originated
with Americans.
