corporate limits to the Cemetery, SO as
to have this avenue graded and other

more Acceptable 10 bur citizens. and
thinks the property holders there would

Whilst we favor anything that would

the Cemetery subscribed and paid
literally, few years ago, to build the
pike out as far as the residence of the
late Judge King, and most of them
now have to work on it at stated times
to keep it in repair. But our opinion
is, that they prefer to do so, rather
than be taken into the city limits, as
they are of the opinion that they would
not receive any additional advantage
by being taxed. This subject was
agitated sometime ago, when it met
with great opposition from that quart

are not prepared to say what action
they would take. At the time of the

favored being included in the city

believed they already enjoyed all the
advantages they would have by being
included. We believe now, that the

! We hare never been much gwen te
grumbling about the management Of
raiiroadss but when their power j.
brought p bear dppretsisek epon t.e
interests OF citizens of this town, it
becomes our duty to call attention to
whatever wrong may be done them. 1t
is known that the people of Clarks-
vilc, 10 theirlhdisiduala as welSas cor
porate capacity. subscribed literally to
the construction of this road from the
Kentucky line to Paris, hoping Il
would be promotive Of their comhner-
sialAinteresis aud general prosperity.
1t is also known that before the enter.
prise had been subjected to fair test,
war was Exaggerated tand the road
passed fntdthe hands of the enemy,
by whom it was ran to its great injury
and loss to the stockholders who, in
their impoverished condition. we're I'M
able at the close of the war TO repair
the damages and pay the Accumulated
interest. Under these circumstances
it was sold to Weather company with,
as we understood Sits assurances that
the road would not, by its mana cement,
be run to the prejudice Of this people.
The result is that the. machine shop
aud hotel were removed a short time
after the sale. We have been assured,
too, that heavy determinations have
been made against our tobacco market
by the heavytariff laid upon thstarticl
from G uthrieito this place And now,
since the compromise Of the difficulty
between the tworoads, we are informed
thatthe freight on coal has been doob-
led from the Stateiine to ClarksvilIeA
involving loss to onr citizens of about
5000. This'too in the face of the
published declaration that old rates of
freight were restored by the settlement
Of the quarrel. We do notquestion the
legal right of the company to do these
things, but have a right to say that in
consideration of the circumstances at
tending their purchase Of the road,
our people have cause to complain of |
such unfair Determinations against |
them and especially the last, which |
raises the freight on coal, for fourteen
nssles, from six 10 twelve dollars per
car load. If similar rates are charged |
from Guthrie towards Louisville we
suffer in common with others, but if |
this rate is not maintained along the
road east of us, then it follows that
GAINESVILLE is the victim of malicious
Determinations, and under circum-
stances which greatly aggrevate the
wrong Having no personal knowledge
of the management of the road, we
shall take pleasure in correcting, any
mistakes but if our statement is sub
stantially correct, we have a moral
right to demand of its managers a re-
dress of the wrong set forth.
