To Col j. W. Paramore, Superinten-d
emit Tennessee and Pacific Railroad
Dear Sir AS the ''Memorial Society" of
Nashville is considerably in debt, we de-
sire that you should run two trains ''Me-
mortal Day. Sunday, May IA, to Mt.
Olivet and at such a rate as will leave a
good profit to the Society.
Very respectfully, MATT B. PITCHER,
Chairman Transportation Committee.
To Capt. Pitcher, Chairman Committee
Transportation of Memorial Society-Dear
Sir: In reply to your application for
trains to be run to Mt. Olivet on Memo
rial Day" I will say that will run two
trains with ample accommodations for
every body that wishes to go and come,
stopping at the City Cemetery also, and
will donate all the receipts to the Society
over and above reasonable compensation
for the trains-say $500. will say fur
Their that in case of rain, will not hold
the Society responsible for any less. 1
can run trains every fifteen minutes if
necessary.
Very respectfully, j. W. PARAMoRE,
Col. Paramore's proposition we consider
a very liberal ono, as he intended to run
the trains independently. The tickets will
be placed at the moderate sum of tsoeRty-
F0e cents each, round trip. Last year
there was money enough expended hiring
hacks, at ten dollars each, to pay the soci-
ETY. out of debt. Should all go who take
an interest in the refinement of our
brave soldiers, this road will pay half the
debt. .E eJ
To Capt. Matt B. Pitcher, Chairman of
Transportation Committee: Dear Strive
will donate one-half the cash receipts of all
persons going to and from City Cemetery,
to the memorial society. Respectfully,
THOMAS CHADwELL.
This do not refer to tickets that may be
sold but to the cash paid. All who wish TO
contribute their mite, will pay ten cents
each way, so one-half will go to the So
ciety. MATT B. PILcHER,
Chairman.

ETY." request that all flowers contributed
