The RAILROAD ENrERpRIsE.-The
article We Published last week relative
to the great want of Hickman of rail
road connection through West Tennes-
see via Dyersburg and Troy, has met
with favorable reception, and business
men say to US to keepit STIRRED up, I"
and Its importance viii insursits success.
The oceans of grain, the bales of hay
and cotton, and all kind of products
produced in these counties of West Ten
nessee, which we now only partially en-
joy, would fnd Hickman It's natural
market-the agricultural wealth of that
portion of Fulton county between Hick-
man and Troy would be wonderfully
enhanced, and the counties Of West
Tennessee materially developed through
which the road would pass. Let some of
our railroad men give US an article on
the subject.

The extensive use of these watches for
the last fifteen years by Railway Conduc-
tors. Engineers and Expressmcn, the mos
exacting of watch-wearers, has thoroughly
demon strated the strength, st-adiness, dn-
rability and accuracy OF the Wattham
Watch. To satisfy that class in all these
respects, is to decide the question as 70 the
real value of these time-keepers-
More than 500, 900 of these watches are
now speaking for themselves in the pockets
of the people, proof and guarantee OF
their superiority over all others.
The superior organization and great ex-
tent Of the Company's Works at Waltham
enables them to produce watches at price
which renders competition futile, and those
who buy any other watch merely pay from
% to so per cent more for their watches
than is necessary.
These time-pieces combine every improve
ment that long experience has proved of
real practical use Having had the refusal
of nearly every invention in watch maxi ing
originating in this country or in Europe.
only those we're finally adopted which severe
testing by the most skilfnI artisans IN our
works, and long use on the part OF the pub
lie. demonstrated to be essential to correct
and enduring time keeping.
Among the many Improvements we would
particularize:
The invention and use of centre-pinion
of peculiar construction, TO prevent damage
TO the train by the breakage OF main
springs, is original with the American
Watch Company who, having had the re-
fusal of all other contrivances, adopted
Fogg's patent pinion as being the best and
fanltless.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now
universally admitted by Watchmakers to be
The best. are used in all grades of Waltham
Watches.
All waltham Watches have dust-proof
caps. protecting the movement from dust,
and lessening the necessity of the frequent
cleaning necessary in other watches.
Our new patent stem-winder. or keyiess
watch is already decided success, and a
great improvement on any stem winding
watch in the American market and by Tar
the cheapest watch OF its quality now offer
ed to the public. To those living in por-
tions of the United States where watch
makes do not abound, watches with the above
mentioned improvements which tend to
ensure accuracy. cleanliness, durability and
convenience, must prove Invaluable
