Whig and tribune. [volume] (Jackson, Tenn.) 1870-1877, 1873-12-20

truest and best stockholders is to in
crease the subscription all that pos
sibly can be done, and then let the
work TO farmers and others living
slong the line, as has been done in
the eastern portion of the county,
thus Keeping the subscription mon
CIV in circulation in the county, and
thereby encouraging our friends /
still west Of us in Fayctte TO sub /
scribe to the full extent Of their /
ability.
The question may, and doubtless /
will be asked, what is the feeling OF /
the people in Shelby and Faycttc;
and what are the prospects there
To which we ans Wcr, that owing
to the present dcrau"cd state Of az
fairs and striu9cucy in the money
matters of the country, together
with the late scOur9c which has pass
ed over the city Of Memphis, whose
people we so much sympgthiZc with,
we think it improbable that amy
thing will be done until the city re-
Cupcratcs a little from her late al
flictions. The ice gorge last winter,
followed by the cpiZOOtic, which re-
tardCd the movement Of cotton III a
time when il was almost absolutely
necessary that H. should be moved;
then came smallpox and cholera,
and now that terrible disease, vel
low fever, which has reduced her
population several thousand ANA
driven thousands Of others from
their homes and business. All tins
naturally makes the people feel

4 number of broad gauge officials
wore iu.ucctiu" the road. we ran
| niuc miles i'm len minutes. and all
expressed themselves that the train
was as steady and safe as a broad
gauge road At the same speed. Our
! passenger cars are rs capaciOus and
! comfortable to the passenger rs any
! broad gauge railroad. ! consider
! that on the question of break OF
! gauge the narrow gauge has supc-
! riOr advantages, for the reason that
the ears remaining on the road, the
interest account on capital cXpcnl-
ed, the investment on surplus roll
ing stock being so much less for
stock running on other roads, and
! less expense for EMPLOYEES looking
after and returning same, enables
! the narrow gauge TO pay expenses
Of transfer and save at least p per
| cent. at same rates.
| believe the capital judiCiOusly
| invested in narrow gauge railroads
will, in all eases, pay dividends on
! the investment, and the subject i
| well worth the investigation Of any
! community who desire to secure
! railroad DEVELOPMENTS.
