Dover Courier We have been
requested to contradict the rumor
that small poX was at Clark and
LAGRANGE furnaces. The request
was made by Mr.. T. G. Barker. Iii
the item mentioning the rumor we
took occasion to state that it was
not true, and we now make the
same statement on the authority of
Mr.. Baker, the manager of the COM
pany, who certainly is good author
ity.
Gallatin Examiner: We under
stand that the first day the books
were opened in Nashville, for ia
king the 100000 of mortgage bonds
of the projected Green River Road,
over $780, 900 were taken; and there
is no doubt that the whole number
will be readily taken. Our people
also, are acting literally in most in
stances in the matter of granting
rights of way. Capt. Spradin, the
engineer was here yesterday. All
things point to the fact that the
road will be soon put under process
of construction.
Union City Our Country: Mr..
Lockard, agent Mobile and Ohio
railroad, informs us that the ship
ments from this point of furniture,
lumber, grain, etc., continue to hold
up to the best anticipations. Cars
are left here every day for shippers,
and local employees of the road are
kept busy handling the business at
this place. There is constantly
prevailing in the neighborhood of
the depot hustle and rush which
speaks in loudest tones for the pros
perity and general boom of our lit
tie city.
Union City Our Country: Up to
the Goth inst, Messrs. Hayden &
Barry had shipped SO carloads OF
corn from this point this season.
During the whole of last season
this firm shipped 225 car loads and
perhaps half that amount was ship
ped by other buyers. Cars will av-
erage 500 bushels. There is an
abundance of corn yet in the coun-
try which it has been impossible to
deliver on account of the bad con-
dition of the roads. These are get
ting in better shape now, however,
and the corn will be delivered as
fast as possible. Hayden & Barry
are paying 45 and so cents.
