Every Man In Bolivar is Interested
in the Memphis & Knoxville Rail
Road

No subject of more Importance to our
town can be agitated than the speedy
completion of the Memphis Il Knoxville
Railroad We showed IN a former arr
ticle that Madison county had gained
over $500, 900 in the value of town lots
since 1854. whilst Hardeman had gaioed
only something over 100000 This
gain in both counties was principally in
jackson and in Bolivar Why was this ?
Jackson had the benefit of two roads
and consequent competition whilst Boli-
var had only one. With the Memphis
d Knoxville road Bolivar will have more
competition in roads than jackson She
will virtually have the Mobile & Ohio at
Henderson Station and direct road to
Memphis, which latter Jackson does rot
have. Some say direct road to Mem
phis viii hurt Bolivar 10y drawing off her
trade. How short sighted Has d.
rect road from Brownsville to Memphis
a distance of only ffsy-six miles hurt
Brownsville She has gained million
of dollars in taxable property since that
read was built. Has direct road from
Columbia to Nashville only forty-six
miles hart Columbia She has double d
her wealth and business since that road
was built So has Pulaski which is on a
direct road to Nashville only IS miles
distant. Meridian, 100 miles from Mo-
bile, has grown to city ia the pine
woods, although she is On a direct road
because she has competing roads as Boli~
var would have with the NJ & K r. r.
completed. Men who will entertain
| opinions with no facts to sustain them
cannot be reasoned with. But it is as a
manufacturing place that Bolivar is to
have her main benefits. jackson has no
mineral, Mem phis as yet has no mineral
road, nor has Bolivar at this time. Give
as the road into Middle Tennessee and
We will have the best mineral road in
the State Why has Chattanooga gained
81 ,304 T30, in three years whilst jack
son has only gained little over $500, 600
since 1854 and only $I42,S $50, from 1853
to 1872 BEd Bolivar has only gained in
the same time SI00.5IO2 Give US the
Memphis & Knoxville R R. into the
mineral regions and Bolivar will grow
like Chattanooga has grown perhaps not
quite so fast, but much faster than any
town in West Tennessee that does not
engage in manufacturing. Why, oh
Why, should there be any opposition in
differe nee or hesitation here7 The OPP
ponent of this road whether he intends it
or not Is doing our town great injury by
retarding her progress. Shall Bolivar
always be behind the other tows of West
Tennessee in energy and progress

The subject of mixed schools-white
and colored-is now disturbing the equa-
nimity of some Of the people of Illinois.
1t seems from the following, taken from
the Chicago Tribune that all the fanatics
are not dead yet even in enlightened
Illinois:
The question of the rights Of eolored
children TO equality with white children
In the public schools of this State was
debated at length in the State Senate at
springfield yesterday. Mr. Henry's re
solution, introduced a year ago, was
finally passed Ii recites the constitu~
tional aad legislative provisions for Sc
curing free education To all the children
of this State, calls attention to the fact
that colUred children have in some in
stances been refused admittance into
public schools, and directs the Com nit,
tee on Education TO inquire into these
/ violations of the law and to report what
| penalty they deem it necessary to infiiet
! in such cases Amendments providing
/ for separate schools for eolored children
| Vers lost
No better policy than the one set forth
! in the abJv could be adopted to destroy
utterly the efficiency of the whole public
school system.

CHEERING On the 9th instant large
number of the friends and advocates of
of the Memphis & Knoxville Railroad
assembled at Pulaski and toek high
ground for the success of the enterprise.
Distinguished gentlemen were present
from Giles and other counties east and
west of Pulaski. The people of Giles
county and especially those Of Pulaski,
are anxious and willing to aid the con-
structien Of the road, and will do their
whole duty in the premises. A vote
will soon be taken in the corporate limits
of Pulaski to determine whether or not
her citizens shall extend aid TO the
amount of $4,000 to the Fad. This
proposition, if we were rightfully in.
formed while there on the llth, is GER
tain to carry, as there are only few
pc sons in the place who oppose it. Our
frie nds along the line of the road from
this point east to Tennessee River can
rest assured that Giles and Lawrence
county will do what is right in this mats
| ter, and they can work with the assur-
anee that aid will come from the intellir
gent citizens along the line Of the road
east of Tennessee river. Let the officers
Of the company have all the assistance

The Lunatie Asylum.

The Rhig and Tribune is urging upon
its people the great benefit to be derived
from locating the lunatic asylum in their
midst. A call meeting of the county
court Of Madison will convene on the 4th
Monday in February, for the purpose of
taking steps to secure the location of
that institution for that county. We
take the following from our enterprising
contemporary, and commend 1t to the
consideration of our own people
BY an act of the Legislature an appro,
priation was made to erect in East and
West Tennessee Lunatie Asylum.
The appropriation for each Asylum Is
t75, 900, and the law requires that they
shall lie conveniently located near some
railroad. The law further req hires each
one to be located on three hundred acres
| of good land with a never failing stream
/ of water running through the land.
/ Good springs upon the land is also de-
sirable such is substantially the law
and it's requirements. The question then
! is, would Madison county be benefited
! by lis location in her midst2 Let us see.
/ la the first place, $4,000 will be ex-
! pended at once Ia improvements, nearly
/ all of which will be spent in the county
wherein it is located In the second
place il will cause to be spent in the
county from $4,000 to $50, 900 per au-
num- la the third place it will give
prominence to the county abroad. These
advantages we think worth contendinl
for, aud hence we urge prompt and liber
al action upon the County Court and
City authorities To locate it IN Madl
son county will cost the county and cit
somewhere between fifteen and twenty
i've thousand Misunderstanding 10 10
cation. BY investing that amount VI
secure the disbursement IN the count,
of $4,000 at once, and from $4,000 t
