The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1881-10-15
THE TENNESSEE CENTRAL.

We have been informed, very re-
Gently, there is a strong probability
that the Tennessee Central railroad
will be built, either by the company
of which Gov. Porter is President, or
the Louisville and Memphis railroad
company. This news comes through
a source that can be relied upon. And
when the advantages to be derived
from its construction by the above
concern are considered, it would
seem strange oversight upon their
part if it is not done as soon as the
work could be pressed through.
Mr.. Huntingdon's road through the
heart of Dyer county and thence to
Memphis through rich section of the
country, will soon be completed. 1t
will compete all along its line, from
Newbern west, for the cotton that is
shipped to Memphis and Louisville.
With that competition in view, it
would not be surprising if Mr.. Hun
tingdon should project line from
Milan through Trenton and intersec-
ting his road at Chestnut Bluff. He
could thus command the bulk of the
cotton shipments of Gibson county,
and besides, at Milan, make bid for
that of Carroll and all the regions
thereabout. From Trenton he would
have line straight through to Mem
phis, no changes to me made, no Mo
bile & Ohio road to deal with.
But the Nashville q Chattanooga,
while Mr.. Cole was its President, en-
tered into some sort of contract with
the Tennessee Central to construct the
latter. Since the scoop by the Louis
vile d Memphis company we under
stand that most ofCol. Coles contracts
have been carried out. Now the peo-
pie of this section are doubtless ready
to carry out their part Of the contract
which they engaged to do with Col.
Cole. But we urge them to take
steps in this matter, that they confer
at once with Mr.. Huntingdon. -ITen-
ton Mirror.
We are glad our neighbor wrote the
above, and that he has started the
agitation of the enterprise again. We
had similar article in our mind, and
had intended to publish it soon; but
the Mirror has relieved US Of part of
the labor. We suggest that the off
GERS of the road open correspondence
with the heads of the L. q N, the q.
st. L. q N. o., and the Huntingdon
company, with the view of getting one
or the other to take hold of the mat
ter. Let us make present of the
line to the company who will finish
and run it. That's the way our peo-
pie feel about it. 1t will be good
feeder to whichever road builds it.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1881-10-15

One of the duties of the Tennessee
Legislature at the extra session to be
called next winter will be the re>ap>
portionment of the state into Senate
rial and Representative districts.
With the population as shown by the
last census, and under the state con-
stitution, the number of senators may
be increased from % TO SO, making
8 additional senators, and the repesen.
tatives from 70 as at present to SO.
The number of voters in the state is
$40, 741, and this would give one SEN
ator to every lO,449 voters, and one
representative to each 1882 voters.
Gibson county has $500 voters UNI
der the recent voting census, which
will give US under the new apportion-
ment two representatives and frac,
ton Of another. 1t also very nearly
gives us II senator. In fact, the new
apportionment will, in effect, give us
three votes in the two houses Of the
General Assembly.
