his history: "When Andy Johnson left
this city, poor tailor boy at old Mr. Lich-
ford's shop, Neal Brown went out with
him for two or three miles, and carried on
his back, wrapped up in an old piece Of
carpet, all the worldly goods that the poor
tailor boy then possessed. They shook

Narrow Gauge from Clifton TO Knoxville

EDITORS CHRONICLE: In our last COM
munication upon this subject we demon
strated by facts and figures that Jefferson
county, by a judicious investment of $50,
600 in the building of the East Tennessee
and Virginia Railroad, increased her taxa
bic wealth nearly million of dollars that
she flooded her trasury with an increased
revenue of from $1,000 to S35 900 per an
mum, being dividend to the county of
800 per cent. upon the amount invested.
And if the county had acted wisely when
Pennsylvania Central was offering S1.19
for the stock and sold the remaining $780,
900, she would have realized the $40 $40 !;
besides she would have stopped the re-
naming twelve years interest, which will
amount to S25, 920, which amount would
have liquidated our railroad debt and left
lis a net surplus for some other public en-
terprise Of So, go. But as this golden OPP
pOrtunity has fled from us, and the idea of
any further dividends belongs to the mys-
tic future, the question is naturally asked,
would it not be by far to our interest tOsell
this stock off at par and build another rail-
road with it, as the only hope we have of
ever getting par for it is by using it in build
ing a feeder to the East Tennessee aud
Virginia.
l know that many of us have been lead to
regard it as a sacred fund, and to hold it as
a memento of our Fathers, and that the
dividend arising from it wOuld be the basis
of a School-fund that would educate all of
our children. That it would pay our tax
es, buy our sugar and coffee, in fact that it
would meet all our incidental expenses is
beyond doubt. That the hour is at hand
when the law requires a man to eat his
bread by the sweat of his brow would he
repealed, and that we would have nothing
to do but fold our arms and cnchant our
