Louisville, Memphis and New Or
leans Railroad.
rom the Louisville Commercial. 15th.l

From the LOUISVILLE commercial, 18TH.
There will be a meeting of the cor.
porators and stockholders of this impor.
tant enterprise at the Gait House this
morning, at 10 o clock, for the purpose
of perfecting their organization. The
full amount necessary to enable them to
do so has been subscribed along the pro-
posed line of the road, without any as
sistance having been sought from our
citizens. This fact speaks volumes in
favor of the enterprise, and shows most
clearly that it has the hearty sympathy
and will meet with the hearty support of
the counties through which it will run.
While Louisville is so largely to be
benefited that this must be regarded as
mainly Louisville enterprise, it has
been pushed forward so quietly, with so
little parade, that few people outside the
little band Of earnest men who have
given their time and labor to the work,
know anything about it. 1t is in the
hands of men who mean business, and
have gone about their work In business
like way. The fact that so much money
has been raised so quietly, and merely
by the circulation OF private subscrip-
ton papers, shows this, and shows the
intrinsic merits of the scheme.
The proposed road is to start from our
city, and run through the counties of
Jefferson, Hardin, Meade, Breckenridge,
Ohio, and so on in the shortest available
line to Memphis. 1t will open up 20
direct intercourse with us rich and
productive country, now destitute Of
railroad facilities, and will furnish it
with a new, short, and extremely yalua-
BILE connection with the roads soon to
lead west from Memphis.
Delegates have already arrived from
the various counties interested, and the
meeting this morning promises to be
fully attended. We write now merely
to remind our readers that the Louis
vile, Nashville and Memphis railroad is
about TO enter into definite existence
We expect before long to call their at
tention to it again.

is FOUND IN THE
EUREK A BOOT

V,HE FIRST PREMIUM AT THE GREAT
Il st. Louis Fair for 1863 was awarded to the
manufacturers ofthis beautiful boot. II com
bines all the utility of the sewed boot with the
cheapness Of the pegged boot. Its eonstruc-
ton Is in this wise; instead Of pegs, n peculiar
shaped brass screw is driven into the sole when
damp, and smoothly and securely clinched.
thus holding the soles and uppers together so
tight that they can never rip or give way.
They have all the smOothness and elasticity Of
the sewed boot, and none of the disadvan-
tages attaching 10 the pegged boot. We sell
them at price but trife more than that Of
the pegged boots thus we furnish you with
something that is indeed economical. We
have fresh stock of all kinds Of Boots and

The social and domestic misery produced
in Germany By the war is very great A
German paper states that in the province of
Westphelia, at the beginning of October,
there were II SIT married women, ths wives
and widows of soldiers, together with o.
1l3 children, obtaining relief from the
public funds. In Hanover, 1924 women
and 26,4l8 children we're dependent upon
the public for support. In the Rhenish
provinces there were 1882 married women
and 29,Gl9 fatherless children who were
utterly destitute. Thus, IN only three
Prussisn provinces there were, last October,
35, 1913 women and 1850 children in
condition of misery and want, and it is
believed that destitution to tne same extent
prevails in the other provinces of Prussia.
The price of provisions is extraordinary
high, and the winter, it is predicted, will be
unusually severe. The injury done by the
potato rot and the rinderpess has also been
severe, and the condition of the families of
the peasants left at home is very miserable.
4 bout rine-tenshs Of the males are in the
Land dwshr, and the women and children
thus deprived Of their natural supporters
will. it is feared, perish from starvation.
