The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1873-06-20
Just at this particular time there is a

papers aud p-rloacas from the Post Oscs or removing
Intentional fraud.
just at this particular time there is a
duty resting upon the shoulders Of many
subscribers to the stock of the Memphis
aud Knoxville Railroad which should lie
discharged without further delay. Every
bit of the heavy work along the line from
this point to Henderson Station IS under
contract and the contractors are at work
like beevers, Up to this time all Of them,
without exception, have been paid up,
and we are assured by Gen, r. T. Nicely,
president Of the road, that if he can get
the subscribers Of stock to pay the calls
already made and to be made upon them
80 that the contractors may be provided
f0r during the present and the month TO
come, that be feels confident Of having
the road 10 running order during the
cemminE winter There has been more
grading done on the road than our people
are aware Of and hen an individual Is
aPpTised Of tho fact he naturally wants
10 know where the money has come from
TO pay the contractors. To make a long
story short, and state facts it is accounts
ed for in this way The engineers esti-
mate showed that the road could be grad
ed from Bolivar to Henderson Station, .
miles, for a certain amount. OF this
sum Henderson Station, Montazuma
Rushyilie, or Piney, and Bolivar were as
sessed their proper quota, al private sub
seriptiUns as n matter of course, thus Sc
curing the sum total necessary to do the
work On this agreement, made in good
faith, the contracts were let, and the con
tractors went to work Then came the
frat, second, third, fourth fifth. aud sixth
calls Of ten per cent, which have been
promptly and cheerfuIly responded to by
the people east Of Bolivar Here, many
Of Cur best citizens have responded, aud
it now remains for those who have not
discharged their duty to the company to
do So Bolivar is to be benefited more
than any other place by the bdilding of
the road, and to say the least Of i, it is
acting in bad faith towards the citizens
oG Henderson Station and other points
along the linc cast Of Bolivar for sub,
scribtrs to turn deaf ear to the calls
made upon them. Those people want to
CINE to Bolivar they want to bring their
rroduce here, and the man who claims to
be q frierd to the town Of Bolivar Is
standing in MS own light when lie holds
back the aid which he promised TO extend
as be signed the subscription books of
tho company. Gen. Neoly, as president
II the company, is working bard and
faithfully, and is deserving Of hearty CO.
operation and encouragement. Without
money and without price, be ID said, he
has devoted much valuable time and IN
questioned ability and experience to the
work Of bUildiug the road, and it oxhib.
its less than the 81 irit of justice to leave
him and n few TO accomplish what the
many should do for the good Of all Gen~
tlemGn should remember that the COM
pany il not altogether powerless, yet we
know that itis their desire to make friends
everywhere and enemies no whore. But
IN justice to the gentlemen here and else
where who have promptly met the calls
made upon them the once enthusiastic
but now cold and indifferent may be
forcibly reminded Of the fact that there is
a way to collect old debts The old Yam
kee dodge Of putting your name to sub
scription book just for the purpose of in
huencing others, to uso a slang phrase, is
TOO thin to spread far and will not do to
erawfsh on. ".
Bolivar has a future before her second to
no place 10 this State, and it only remains
for her citizens to assist in the develops
ment Of tho natural resources with which
she is surrounded to prove it 20 the out
side world If our peopls will only do
half their duty few short years will see
her enjoying new life, full of spirit and
enterprise. The capital is here, the in>
telligence is here, and they should be
combined and be made to work together
in the cause Of Progress
