The healthy financial condition of
the town of Hiek man is source of con
gratulation to all our eitizens. In these
dull times, hen trade is comparatively

population, is plainly evident The
merchants of neighboring trading points
are falling, tumbliug aud grooming un

times, while those of Hickman are easy.
we'll conditioned. and ripe for trade aud
life The character of business men
make the town. and the reliability now
shown under the test of a universal striu
gent money market, must produce its
rich reward in the future We predict
a largely increased trade for Hickman
this fall, for the simple reason that our
merchants are ia a condition to avail
themselves of it, and their healthy fnan
cial condition will induce the farmers Of
the adjacent country to bring their stuff
to this market For every class and
grade of product Hickman is prepared
20 pay the highest prices, and to sell
goods as cheap as they can be bought

RAILROAD FROM HICKMAN TO TIP
TosvILLE.-The prospect of building a
railroad from Hickman TO Tiptonyille,
along the Mississippi river, Is again
talked of and it is thought a company
will shortly be organized. The building
of this road il more feasible and likely
of accomplishment. than is inagiued by
great many, from the fact that an
amount of now worthless but rich land-
would be redeemed from overflow by the
road more than equal to its entire cost
Our citizens in subscribing stock would
not only secure a valuable railroad bn
at the same time obtain a levy for the
protection of their bottom lands We
are not now posted as to the number OF
acres which would be redeemed, nor ol
the probable cost Of the road. but are
certain the land saved would largely more
than pay all costs.
The Kentucky portion Of this bottom
have already authority to impose a tax
upon themselves for the building of this
levee, and number of the large land
owners and residents of the Tennessee
portion are desirous of obtsiuingesimilar
authority from the Tennessee Legislature.
Besides some reliable aud responsible
citizens of the Madrid Bend country, say.
500, 900 stock will be subscribed by that
section
The immense advantage this road and
levee would be to the town of Hickman.
should and will induce a most liberal
subscription from our people. The whole
bottom territory from Hickman to Ore
gon and clear through beyond the lake,
already the richest corn land in the world
would be directly tributary to us. We
beg our people to give this enterprise
their thoughtful consideration. This
project will be accomplished some day
aud we should not be surprised if the
developments of the next few weeks,
does not put tin active organization and
work.
