PAINFULLY BRusED.-The West-bound
train over the Nashville and Northwestern
railroad ran OF the track near Jacksonville
on Friday the 18th, seriously injuring our
Representative, f. B. Snipes; Esq. His chin
was split open, and his mouth and nose
badly smashed. However, his wounds.
though painful, are not dangerous, and we
hope TO see him well in few days.
THE GRAND HoTEL.-We learn that
nearly 100000 has been subscribed towards
the erection OF a grand hotel at some point
in the city, to be determined by the stock
holders, when $4,000 is raised. The sub
scription papers are in the hands Of Robert
Hall, ESQ.,, at his store on the corner Of
Main and shannon streets. The stock is
in shares OF 500 each, to be paid in ten
equal instalments, the first instalment to
be paid in on the first Of May, 1872 and
one every sixty days thereafter until all is
paid, with ten per cent. per annum on all
over due instruments. The plan is good,
the hotel is absolutely necessary; il will
pay the stockholders rs well as the city At
large. The gentlemen who are leading of
in the matter are intelligent and wealthy
citizens, men whose prudence. honesty and
ability may be freely trusted, and they
mean business strictly. Let every man
who is able, and who has the interest of the
city, as well as his own, at heart, respond
promptly and literally.
