RAILROAD MENTION.

The Franklin Re0te,o of the goth inst
has the following notice: 'All the stock
holders of the Nashville and Decatur Rail-
road are urgently requested to meet in
franklin at the Courthouse, at IL o'clock
A. NJ on Monday, the Path inst. Business
of great importance to all the stockholders
will be transacted, and full attendance is
desired"
In another article the same number Of
the ReUielo says: ''Tbe principal topic of
discussion will be the proposition of the
Louisville and Nashville road, in case the
necessities of the North and South road
should require it, to apply the six per cent
dividend to the benefit of said road, in
stead of paying it 10 the stockholders. It
is the opinion of many of the stockholders
that the Louisville and Nashville road Is
fully as anxious for the lease as the Nash
vile ard Decatur road can possibly be, and
hence that no unjust concessions should be
permitted, even at the risk of bringing
failure upon the whole movement.

cific Railroad Several important matters
are to be transacted at the meeting of the

be considered.
