There will be railroad meeting at
Denmark, Saturday, March 2Sd.

friendly or otherwise TO the Jackson
and Memphis Railroad, are invited to

Distinguished speakers will address
the people, and steps viii be taken TO
at once raise the necessary means to
commence work on this great road.
Jackson has nobly responded to the
call-now let the friends of this enter
prise meet her as they promised.
There must be no delay; work, work;
prompt and vigorous work, must be
our motto. Let us have rousing
meeting at Denmark on the 23d.

Sam Iyens, of the Athens Post
says many sensible things, and the
following which we take from that
paper is fun evidence Of the fact,
and we ask our business men and
all others, to make note of it,
There are men in our town who
send thousands of miles for many
little articles because they can save
a few cents, and let their home Me-
chanics go without patronage. But
read what Iyens says:
If you wish to make any purehas-
es, don't go away from home to do
it. Encourage home industry and
enterprise, and give your trade to
merchants and mechanics, especially
to those who advertise freely. That
is the way to build up lively bust
ness in your own town, and benefit
yourself as well as others. Every
dollar spent in town is an adyan-
tage to the place in general, and
every dollar spent abroad for arti-
cles which could be bought on as
favorable terms at home, is like TAX
ing so much capital out of the bust
ness interests of the place.

jackson and memphis.


Now that Jackson has vindicated
her right to be called the best rail-
road centre in Tennessee, outside OF
Memphis, by an almost unanimous
vote, it may not be inappropriate to
urge the immediate organization OF
the Jackson and Memphis road,
with a view to putting the road I'M
der contract to the Fayette county
line. In urging this step, we but
speak the sentiments of nineteen
twentieths of the citizens of this
place.
In casting about in our minds eye
for a suitable man to be placed at
the head of the organization, there
is one whose name stands pre-emi-
nent-we allude to Hon. MILTON
Brown, of this elty. We have not
consulted Judge Brown in regard
to this matter, and do not know
that he could be induced to occupy
the position of President; and we
know that nothing but his devotion
to the welfare of Jackson, and of
the country could induce him to do
so; but in view of his earnest devo-
ton to the best interests of Jack
son, and of West Tennessee, his
high character for sterling good
sense, his energy of character, his
large personal wealth and his unde-
Waiting integrity, coupled with his
experience as successful builder
and operator of railroads, points
him out as the man for President of
this new road. 5000

industrious apprentice; beloved by all who

HENDERSON COUNTY.

We regret to learn that our sister
county of Henderson last Saturday
voted down the proposition to is
sue SCI, 800 worth of bonds, to as
sist in building a railroad from
Jackson to Lexington. We know
that the friends OF the proposition
labored under many disadvantages
in the canvass, and that they were
constantly told that jackson didn't
want the road to Lexington" Our
people told = different tale last Sat
urday. She reached out on that
day, one-hand to Lexington and the
other to Memphis, and embraced
both places in a fraternal hug which
will do them good. jackson is in
earnest.
Our Henderson county friends
having the shining evidence before
them that jackson does want the
road to Lexington, must pick their
flint and try it again. Henderson
county toGRts a railroad, and she
must hare one. We hope our friends
there will not be discouraged, but
buckle on their armor, and fighting
on fight ever, till victory crowns
their efforts.
Remember, the third time is the
charm-and may success attend you.

e. In another article we propose
the organization of the jackson and
Memphis Railroad Company, and
the immediate commencement of
operations, because we have reason
able assurances that the requisite
amount of private stock can be at
once secured to render the compile
ton or the road to the Fayette
county line an assured thing.
Our Henderson county friends are
not to understand by this that we
are not just as anxious to see their
end of the road commenced and
completed, as the other; and when
ever we have any reasonable assur-
ance that the required amount of
private subscription can be raised
to complete the line to Lexington,
pledge the entire influence of the
WING AND TRIBUNE, and of Jack
son, to put our shoulder to the
wheel, and assist in the consumma-
ton of the glorious work. Let the
public mind there once grasp the
value and Importance of such a
road, and they are the very people
who will not hesitate to do their
whole duty. There are many good
men in Henderson, whose minds are
already up in matter of duty, and
we honor them for their iberality
and public spirit; but there is I'M
fortunately a majority OF the good
citizens who do not sufficiently ap-
preciate the great good such a road
would do them. Let US hope that
the sober third thought viii be
right.

Hit the Nail ON the Head.

The GAINESVILLE Chronicle of the
I'd, under the caption of "Dead
Heads" says: Railroads occasionally
complain of dead heading, but
no institution suffers so much from
it as the press. A sensible writer
says:
The press endues the afilictiOn OF
dead headism from the pulpit, the
bar and the stage; from corpora
tions, societies and individuals. Ii
is expected 10 yield its interests; it
is required to give strength to the
weak, ewes to the blind, clothes TO
the naked, and bread to the hungry;
it is asked to cover infirmities, hide
weakness and wink at quacks, bols-
ter ap dull authors and flatter the
vain: il is, in short, to be all things
to all men, and lift looks for pay or
reward it is denounced as mean and
sOrdid. There is no interest under
the whole heavens that is expected
to give so much to society without
pay or thanks as the press.

CT A correspondent of Mem
phis paper proposes a convention in
that city, of all the people OF West
Tennessee opposed to Grant, to APP
point delegates to the Liberal Re
publican Convention which is to as
semble at Cincinnati in May next.
1t seems 10 be pretty well under
stood that the mass of the Democra-
cy Of West Tennessee will willingly
support any Liberal Republican
who IS liberal-that may be nomi-
dated; and for this reason we doubt
the necessity or the propriety of
that element of the people being
represented at Cincinnati. Let the
Convention be,-what it purports
to be,-a Liberal Republican Con-
vention. There need be no fear
that the people of Tennessee will
not support any party nomination
which is liberal in sentiment, and
proposes to rid the country of Grant
and his myrmidons; and it seems to
us that it would accomplish no good
for the rank and file of those who
claim to be Democrats, to be present
in a Convention which does not
even pretend to be Democratic.

EIt is impossible to over estimate

The Chamber OF COmmerce--Jack
son and Milton Brown.

son and Milton BfOWus
The intelligence of the people of
Jackson, Tennessee, was always
conceded. We have heard il said
for more than twenty years that
Jackson and Madison boosted prop
erly of more faultless system of 40
cial life than any town and county
in the State. The wisdom of no
people was ever more clearly illus
trated than in the recent railroad
election. of seVen hundred votes
cast, only eleven were in opposition
to the subscription, and in two
WaFds-the fifss and second-there
was not vote in opposition to the
scheme. The Chamber of commerce
of this city should congratulate the
country on this result, and give as
surances to Jackson that Memphis
and Shelby county will build that
portion of the road lying within the
confines of Shelby county. 1t is to
be presumed that Miltoa Brown,
since jackson inaugurates the
scheme, and.prOpeFly, should con
troll it, viii be chosen president of
the company. 1t will thus happen
that Jackson will not only have
given practical origin to the road
but the best and ablest of tinanclers
and railroad managers in Tennessee
to direct the fortunes of the corpor-
alton. 1t might be well for the
Chamber of Commerce to invite
Judge Brown to address our mer-
chants at an early day. It is ancient
maxim, biS dat qUi SitO dat, and
quite as true is it that he who acts
quickly wins most in the battle Of
life. Let Memphis act promptly
appeal.

opens up to us the richest section
of the State-a section with which
we now have no connection COM
mercially, and one which is destined
at no distant day, to be one OF the
most populous and wealthy in the
South.
If we add grain and stock to our
already excellent cotton business,
thereby diversifying our trade, we
will be enriched millions of dollars.
Our location, our Southern railroad
connection with the most profitable
and largest stock and grain consum-
ers of Mississippi and Alabama
would enable us to WELD the trade
brought by this road to immense
advantage. 1t is impossible to esti-
mate the wealth that would flow in
to Jackson by making her distrib-
uting point, and a market for grain
and stock as well as for cotton.
This road will accomplish that end,
and now that we have entered fully
upon the march Of progress, let US
know neither waiting nor weari-
ness, but continue to push our en-
terprises until every available sec
ton is brought to our very door.
We will have more to say ON this
subject; but in the mean time, as
sure the citizens of Crockett and
Dyer counties that Jackson will, as
usual, do her whole duty towards
making this great enterprise grand
