Ar. A. S. LlvsFm0Fs the Recipient Of a
Spisaald Geld watch.

We were ous ola large that
assembled yesterday evening in the Office
or6he machine shop Of the Mississippi
and Tennessee railroad, where, about
i've aud a half O'Clock, Mr.. A. s.. Liver
more, late Superintendent, was present.
sd with a very handsome gold watch by
the employees OF the road, with whom he
was so long and 20 pleasantly associated.
presentation QeV0lV6d upon Mr..
league, the master mschanlc Of the road,
who, il fulfilling the pleasant duty as
signed him, said:
"MR. LTYERMOBE: We, the employees of
the Mississippi and Tennessee railroad,
tender TO you this elegant Watch as q
slight testimonial OF our friendship and
regard. Two years we have been colabor-
ers IN maintaining and operating this
rOad-you as General Superintendent and
we as employees, subject to four Ord6rss
and now, when you ars leaving us for
other fields OF labor, we desire TO express
70 you our nigh appreciation Of your able
and efficient management, your uniform
kindness and geutlemanly bearing, at all
times, to each and ev6ry one Of us. We
deeply regret the necessity that separates
US, and assure you that our prayers and
best wishes for your success and happi-
ness will go with you. We have selected
a time keeper that it may be your daily
companion, and hope thar as it points Won
to the passing hours it may also some
times remind you Of the many warm
friends that now bid you farewell"
The conclusion of Mr.. leagues speech
was received with cheers by the hundred
or more employees. all OF whom had as
sembled for the purpose af t~estifying. BY
their presence, that this was more than a
mere demonstration, and that it was a
genuine outpourlng Of their friendship for
Mr.. LivermOre, who, in returning thanks
for the elegant and appropriate presents
paid them a deserved compliment for their
fidelity TO trusts reposed in them. and
their courtesy and kindness toward him
self. He said it cost him a severe struggle
TO leave them, but he felt cOnsOIsd bv the
knowledge that Mr. Young, his successor,
would meet their auJiCipstiOns and fulfill
their expectancy as q Superintendent OF
capacity and a gentleman Of tact as well
as energy. He urged them all to continHe
IN the line Of duty, and thanked them
again, and warmly, for the splendid token
o thelr esteem which they had determined
should carry with him through life.
Wine being next in order, Mr.. Niles
Mer1wether toasted Mr.. Livarmors and
that he would lift the bed Of the
Little Rock railroad as high out Of water
as he was, by comparison, in the esteem
Of those about him. This was responded
to appropriately by the large company,
and then ensued a finale, which was
reached AFTER much other tOast-drinkfng
and speechifying.

NORTON.
The Pretty G0niraCt-Ths AaEon's Rod
That swallows all the Other Rods.

Editors Appeal-I cannot fOrbear max
ing an inquiry suggested by the many
interesting letters affecting the Missis-
s1ppt river railway which have recently
adorned the columns Of the APPEAL. If
the proposed contract between Elk Norton
and the Mississippi River Railway Com
pany be executed, tits pslpabls that Nor
ton will control the enterprise from this
time through all coming years. Norton
Is the chief owner Of the quiet, happy vii
lage at the mouth Of the Tsnnessee. Nor
ton would naturally seek to promote the
prosperity Of his broad domains lying
loosely everywhere around Padueah.
He would have there every workshop
and foundry and car factory connected
with the road. No wOrkingman Of Mem
phis would derive the least advantage
from the road, and the mechanics of the
city should be convened to protest, with
one voice, against this outright bargain
sale and sacrifice Of the best interest Of
city, by men ignorant or Indifferent
TO the true interests of the people they as
to represent. R.. A. Y,
