Memphis. CIarksViIIe and Louisville
Railroad.

At meeting of the GAINESVILLE Board of
Tlade, Feb. -, 1870, President E. II.
Lewis in the chair, Capt. F. P. Gracey,
Chairman of Committee on Railroads,
submitted a special timetable for the
GAINESVILLE accommodation train leaving
Bowling Green at $40 o'clock AN, which
the committee had been assured on the
part of the railroad managers, would be
regularly kept up, and arrive at GAINESVILLE
at 9: 80 AN. for the accommodation of citi-
zens desiring to visit GAINESVILLE, and re-
turn same day by leaving on the o'clock
PM. express train. The committee had
used all their influence and best efforts to
accomplish this object, and had utterly
failed. That the said accommodation was
freight train, to which was attached at
RussellviIle passenger car, and that said
train was frequently from three to four
hours behind time, and was no remedy,
whatever. for the evils complained Of by
GAINESVILLE.
On motion of the Secretary, the follow
ing resolution after mature discussion, and
which was strongly supported by Gen.
Quarles, Capt. Gracey and Others, was
adopted by a unanimous and enthusiastic
shout of aye:
Resolved, That we regard the present
management of the Memphis, GAINESVILLE
and Louisville Railroad as detrimental to
the interests of GAINESVILLE and surrounding
community, and that the committee be in
structed to wait upon the President and
Directors, and request that they terminate
the lease made by DIR. Cliff, with the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad Company, and
assume control of it themselves.
