EVANSVILLE AND JACKSON RAIL
ROAD.
MILAN. March 18th. 1874.

MILAN, March 18th, 1874.
Referring TO some remarks in last
weeks Wing and Tribune in reference
to the Evansville u jackson Railroad,
| see that the route in most favor with
that paper is via Spring Creek and
Mckenzie; but, by reference to some
of our best maps, / find that an air
line from Evansville to Jackson will
pass but a very short distance to the
east of Milan, while it would pass a
considerable distance west of both Me
Kenzie and Spring Greek. As stated
in that paper, Evansyille's grand OBJ
ject in building this road is to gain a
connection with this great network CT
Southern railroads. And now, as the
accomplishment Of that end by the
least expensive means will be the
grand desideratum, let me ask if Mi
Ian is not the most desirable point at
which to make that connection. At
Milan, the connection will be direct
with the Memphis & Louisville, Mis-
sissippi Central and the Tennessee
Central Roads, while, with proper
arrangements with the Miss. Central
for the use of their track from this
place to jackson, more desirable
connection with the Mobile q Ohio
Road might be made than by building
to jackson, and by this means save
the entire cost Of the construction of
about twenty-five miles of road
through rough country. There is
no question with an unprejudiced mind
but that this is the most feasible plan,
and the one that should attract the at
tention Of those in the management
of the project.
But, while these are stubborn facts,
and will weigh heavily in our favor in
the final location of the road, l would
warn our people against depending
alone on our local advantages. We
must in the future, as in the past, do
and dare all for the building up of our
town and country. We have been
amply repaid for all investments here
tofore made in public enterprises, and
our neighboring towns may well begin
to feel a little jealous of our rapid !
strides. This connection of the Ev-
nsville Road at Milan with the net
work of Southern roads will do more
to build up Milan and surrounding
than any other enterprise
that has claimed the attention of our
people.
But the public spirit and liberal
of the people of Milan is
too well established to allow one to
doubt for a moment that when the
occasion arises they will be found at
their posts, wide awake, and with
purses open and well filled with mate
rial aid. MILAN.

HUMBOLDT ITEMS,
The Humboldt Journal furnishes us

The Humboldt Journal furnishes u:
with the following:
Protracted meeting is going on al
the NJ. E, Church this week.
We notice that shade trees are be.
ing set out on all the principal streets
in town. This is a step in the right
direction. There is nothing that adds
so much to the appearance of a town
as nice shade trees.
A committee appointed short
time since, by Prescott Lodge, No. 116,
|. o. 0. F., for the purpose ofbeau-
tifying the enclosure around the Col
lege building, have had the grounds
laid off after a plan drawn by Mr..
Nathurst of this place, similar to the
plan of the Crystal Palace garden
London. The committee are at present
busily engaged in having shrubbery,
flowers, &c, set out, and Odd Fellows
Garden is fast becoming the most
beautiful place in the State.
The Editor of the Journal sent us
word this morning to write up an ex-
cuse for his lack of editorial this
week, and told us to tell the people
that he had just got back from Mem
phis, and that he is sick-that his fin
ger sore, that he has had the headache
for a week, and that his poor heart is
about to break; but as we are
church member we can't bear the
strain, and will simply tell the truth
about the matter-his girl 'jilted"
him the other night, and he hasn't
been able to do anything since.

The Union and American Of the
18th publishes the following card Of
the President of this road:
For information of the citizens of
Nashville and of the community gen.
orally, the following facts are submit
ted With the means at their con-
troll the company have proceeded en-
ergetically with the work of construe-
ton; having very nearly the whole
line of the roadway from Huntingdon
to Trenton cleared of lumber; seven
and a halfmiles between Trenton and
Milan and six and a half miles between
Milan and McLemoresville, of new
roadbed graded and ready for the ties,
in addition to the old graded road be-
tween McLemoresville and Hunting
don, making in all % of the So miles
from Huntingdon to Trenton already
graded; part of which, however, needs
some repairs. In addition to this they
also have nearly all of the log-drains,
trestles, etc, completed on the por-
ton graded, and a carload of tile pipe
for smaller culverts. The work is
now being vigorously prosecuted at
various points along the line. Il
An appeal is now made to the en-
liberality of the citizens of
Nashville, for material aid to this en-
terprise, 80 important to their vital
interests. VIII they grant it? Would
any other city in the whole Union re-
fuse under similar circumstances.

'' Now You See Ii, and Now You

Last Thursday two sharpers, in a
| betting scheme, tricked r. w. Fowlks,
a stock drover of Humphreys county,
out of two hundred dollars, and then
drove to parts unknown. The facts
rs far as we have learned are, that
FOwlks went to Memphis a short time
ago with a car load of stock; he dis
posed of his stock and returned to
Milan Thursday morning with the
proceeds of his sale. These two sharp
ers came up on the same train and all
three stopped at the City Hotel. One
of them had little tobacco box,
which he frequently opened in the
presence of Fowlks and took out q
chew of tobacco. Some time during
the day Fowlks and sharper No. !
were in conversation near the hotel,
when No. 2 came up and asked for a
chew of tobacco; No. 1 opened the
box and supplied his demands, then
closed the box and proposed to bet
him that he could not open the box
in fifteen minutes. No. 2 took the
bet; but, having no money, Gas he
said, he borrowed two hundred dol
lars of Fowlks, who, having seen the
box opened frequently, readily loaned
the money. They had also, previous
to this, shown him several certificates
and drafts, which they doubtless had
forged. Efforts were then made by
FOwlks and the man who borrowed
the.money to open the box, but the
fifteen minutes passed and the box re-
manned unopened. OF course No.
pocketed the two hundred. No. 2
then proposed giving Fowlks a draft
calling for $4,000, as he did not have
the money to refund the amount boz
rOwed. He also proposed to get the
money for him at Mckenzie. BY
this time Fowlks discovered the trick
and went in search of the police, du-
ring which time the sharpers departed.
Capt. Moore with a posse went in
pursuit, but nothing has been heard
of them since.

present year, with summary of last
years work in that line. Anybody
giving us information on this subject
will receive our thanks and enjoy the
satisfaction of having contributed

Railroad Accident.

A northern bound train on the
Memphis and Louisville road ran over
a COW near Stanton last Thursday
evening, ditching the train. James
Chamberlin, engineer, was severely
bruised, and John Corners, fireman,
badly scalded. Only one passenger,
a lady, was slightly injured by jump
ing from the train. The train was,
we understand, badly wrecked, and it
is marvellous that so few were injured,
as there were large number of pas
aboard.
