Mr. Coles Proposition.

Mr.. E. w. Cole, the great Railroa
King Of the South, proposes to bnill
railroad from Russelivillc via Elk
ton, Hopkinsvile and OIL TO Cadiz,
provided the people Of the counties
through which it is 10 pass will do
nate $4,000 per mile. From here TO
RussellviIlc it is about 80 miles,
which would require the raising of
about 100000. Todd promises TO
raise $4,000 of this, Logan would of
course have her share of the remain
der, and the part Chri5tian would
have 10 raise would hardly ex-
coed $1,000 per mile. 1t would of
course require more if the road was
continued to Cadiz, which would de-
pend upon the action of Trigg in the
matter. To take il to Cadiz would
require 100000 more, good part Of
which Trigg would have to raise. II
is unnecessary 10 speak of the great
advantages OF the road. Another
and a competing route, would be
opened to the South and East, VIII
Owensboro. Since the last change
in the 81. l.. & S. L. road the freights
have been doubled. A competing
line would compel cheaper rates.
The road would almost save
enough Oh freight from the other
road, 10 pay the tax OH the bonds
The merchants are compelled 10 lie
the burden of the heavy freight fal
upon the purchasers. To illustrate
a bundle of paper that formerly cos
this office each month sl.20 freight
now costs S2.35. Multiply this b.
the number of months and we hnv
saving OF $3.50, TO say nolhin
OF DINER goods tnat we have to orde
from time TO time. This Is a mere il
lnstration, and 1t will apply to ever
mans business. But it is useless I
argue to prove a self-evident fact
No one will deny that we need b
road. 1t would help EIklon, Ilop
kinsvilc and would be the salvation
of Cadiz. Probably there will neve
be such an opportunity again. Th
road will cost little more than tur
pike, and il would be worth hun
dreds Of thousands or dollars to Hop
kinsville. With free schools and al
other railroad IIopkinsville woul,
soon rank among the importal
cities of the State. We commend I'll
proposition to the careful consider
ton of the people OF the county.

Sensible Advice.

We are glad to see so much activity
III matrimonial affairs, A coInmu-
nifty in which marriages are frequent
is sound. Activity in this respect
shows that our young men when they
commence TO pay serious attention to
young ladies', mean business. This
everlasting billing and cooling, with
marriage licenses and wcdding-cake
clean out of sight in the dim future,
is monotonous Improbable business
and should never be tolerated by the
gentleman who furnishes the fires in
winter and re-hangs the front gate in
summer. We would not advise hasiy
marriages, yel love at first sight aud
an immediate elopement is preferable

youth and ends in two faded, dis
couraged people growing disguised

turn Of rings aud letters and future
GOODNESS. The way TO get married is
this: First select your girl aud court
her as you would storm q battery
sorter. Let her see from the start
that you are no trifler-that you pro-
pose to 90 into the matrimonial bust
ness and intend to be called daddy"
before you are two years older. Be a
manly lover-show the girl that you're
after that you're worth having and
when you discover that her eye
brighiens with meaning light and
her check wears the tell-taie blusl

In long conversation to-day with MT. D. B. Req we learned more facts concerning the late raids than We have room to enlarge upon in this issue The party that stole Shaw's mules went directly on to Mule Pass and stole lot of stock from that locality among which was a fine pair of mules belonging to Mir. Req. The people in that section are convinced that the raiders were Americans, MeXicans and Indians. A squad of Mexican troops surprised a band of these robbers just south of Black Water and killed five, three Americans and two Germans. Among those who es capped in this attack were several In dians. The Indians are evidently Chihuahua Indians as they speak Spanish and have been trailed in straight line for JanOs. These are tho same old Chihuahua-Chiricahua- Oio Caliente renegades.

Charges hgainst Inspector HammOnd

August the Silver Belt published a brief item saying charges had been preferred against Indian Inspector Hammond, and it was copied as news in THE CITIZEN without comment. The Belt of the Sth is at hand with nearly a column on the same subject Gen. Hammond had called upon the editor, asked why he did not publish the charges, etc. The editor replied that he would gladly print them gratis whenever sent to the office, and authorized the Inspector to state so to Gen. Biggs, the gentleman who had made them"
 Generals Biggs and Hammond soon met and after some conversation with. out special significance The Belt gives the conclusion:
 The Inspector then demanded to be informed what the charges were which information was refused except in the presence of four good men, each to select two, which wHs agreed upon and Hise, Hills & Co.'S office as the place of meeting. The Inspector named J. ". Hise and E. W. Hills and the General selected James Wiley and Mills Van Wagenen, and having repaired to the counting room the charges were made known to the In spector in presence of the gentlemen named. We have understood that the meeting was not as harmonious as a Methodist l0ve-feast and it became necessary for the umpires to interferC to keep the peace.

CASA GRANDE, August ', 1879.
 EDITOR CITIZEN: The severe rains of Sunday last shipwrecked most of our freighters and we are now short of wagons, with freight in abundance ac cumulating at the depot Our town is solid" It begIns, at the west, with a great house bearing the legend, $.

Government freighting makes theirs a busy place; teams are coming and going all the time. Brinke, for warder and commission dealer, spreads a large canvas house to the breeze. He does the business of the Silver King Company. Germain & Co. occupy two large tents and keep everything you want Kleine, the pioneer hotel keeper, is still at the front, and maintains his position against all corners. The railroad stores of Sisson, Wallace>& Co. and others are as they were when building stop ped. But we have on the south side of the tracks fine, roomy freight de- pot, a hundred feet long, with broad platforms, where MT. Finley, our agent, is constantly manipulating his packages. Our town possesses all the modern improvements, down to the Chinese wash house and bakery, and including many places where cool and foaming beverages flow abundantly. Yours, k.
