GENERAL 3. P. NELLY.

Last Tuesday evening, the Directors of
the Memphis and Knoxville Railroad met
at the Office of our distinguished fellow
citizen, Generel r. r. Nicely, and unani-
nously elected him President Of the
Company This action of the Directors
was in strict keeping with the wishes Of
every stakeholder in the road, and will
prove an undisguised blessing to the
Company and the public all along the
line, for, although General Nicely is but
seldom paraded in print, he is known to
be one OF the most efficient and eeaseIess
workers in the entire South, and from
his great experience in railway affairs
will achieve more than any other man
could do from Memphis to Savannah or
even to Knoxville. His long connection
with the Mississippi Central as one OF its
most important and highly trusted Off
cials has been to him a source
of learning and information second to no
mans in this State. In an infinite degree
he possesses the confidence and enjoys
the unqualified respect of his widely ex-
tended acquaintance, and the moral force
of such character carries Pc wer with
it almost irresistible, never failing to do
that which it undertakes lie is sur
rounded by az able a set of gentlemen as
can be found on any Board of Directors
in the land, and if r. P Nicely does not
have the Memphis and Knoxville Rail
road completed from the Mississippi to
the Tennessee river in less than two years
we will begin to think that there is no
use in selecting the best talent and most
popular men to push to eonpletion great
and important public or private improve
ments. In him, tie friends Of the road
will find faithful servant, and the peo-
Pile along the whole line Of road will Ger
tainly extend to him oil the aid in their
mower

ON FOOT.

Notwit hstanding the OPPOSITION of enc
mics and the influence of those who
should have given US aid and encourage
ment, the Memphis and Knoxville Air
Line Narrow Gauge Railroad ComI any
has been fully organized, and is now frirly
on a firm footing before the wealth and
intelligence Of the public, and certainly
nothing now in sight is more commands
ing to the keen sense of an appFeciative
people who wish to develop the country
through which the road is to pass. The
Western Division of this road, reaching
from Savannah on the Ter nessee River
to Memphis, a distance of about one hun
dr. ed miles, connects by a single line no
less than fee county sites and is the
only one, either built or in contempla-
ton, that has such an advantage in so
short a distance. Along its line are fine
water courses, exhaustless forests Of TIM
Der, building stone, and thousands upoA
thousands Of acres of the most productive
lands in the State. We call the attention
of those desiring to locate in the midst of
progressive people to this great an d
important enterprise, and can assure the
most skeptical that the more fully this
subject is investigated the more plainly
its manifold merits will rise to view.
ITO the proof and the testimony-bring
forth your strong reasoning, and sub
snriha at once.

Rotary and Assistant Secretary.
General r. P. Nicely called for the
reading of the acts of the Legislature
authorizing Chancery Courts to grant

The President read the acts, from
which it was shown that such comp anies
may organize when one thousand dollars
per mile has been subscribed, instead of
five thousand, as heretofore.
Mr. D. s. Boswell, of Fayette county,
moved that the commissioners be called
upon for a report o f the actual subscrip-
tions of land for the road, which car
ried.
The commissioners were requested to
meet IL the evening at General Nicely :
Office, and to report back to tho stock
holders on the FLOWING morning,
A motion prevailed calling for q rail

night in the Courthouse, whereupon the

SURE AND SAFE.

One word about landed subscription s
to the Memphis and Knoxville Railroad
If you cannot subscribe money subscribe
land; value it at ii fair price; then, in the
course of three or four years, after the
road is built and the land has increased
Ia value almost ch it is sure
to do-redeem your land, and you thus
become the possesser Of its enhanced
valuation, for the Company does not de-
sire to speculate of of the stakeholder,
hut only requires the necessary money to
build and equip the road without issuing
bonds and disposing of them alta heavy
discount to Eastern capitalists IL the
people will subscribe their land, there
will be no trouble in getting the money to
build the road Think of this, gentlemen,
and give this one point all the ventilation
you can, Cor you ali know that a railroad
always does, always has, aud always will
increase the market value of real estate.
Enrich yourselves by this sure and speedy
plan. Build the road yourselves, own ii
yourselves, and control it
