The plan on which the railroad
will be built Is issuing stock and
bonds \ variation of the original
idea of only bonds. Stock will be
issued at the rate ofS21 900 per mile.
and bonds at the rats of $4,000 per
mile. The bonds Will be divided
into first and second mortgage bonds
on the entire road bed; they will
bear 6 per cent interest coupons. This
Indebtedness per mile IS less than
that Of any road in the South, and is
more than doubled by thats carried
on the NJ. & G. or l.. & n. The

ton of the road, when sufficient
amount Of land has been pledged and
bonds taken. This is one of the most
powerful corporation in the country,
with unlimited money at their COM
mand, and are bound in q contract
to finish the road in five years from
the time they commence operations
This is a guarantee that the road
will be rapidly built.
The proposition made to the people
is for them to sell portiol Of their
lands 70 the company, for which they
accept in payment bonds to an amount
of half the value of the land sold.
They so on the principle that the
land retained will be doubly
enhanced in value by the railroad,
They promise to place a liberal val
uation ON our lands. If this route Is
chosen, agents will go along the pro
posed line, and take deeds from those
persons who will SCI, drawn and
conditioned that the deed shall be
void unless the railroad runs within
five miles of said land, and that pos

dirt is broken within the limits Of
the county. You are then certain not
to give your land and set no railroad.
They have also a special contract for
those parties who live further away
than five mile from the line of rail
way and desire to sell their land.
They manage the money subscriptions

in stock and two-thirds in bonds.
For instance, man subscribes $500,
they lsyue him stock, 800, and

called for until the road is built to the

MEMPHIS AND NASHVILLE r. r.
Coils. j. II. Moore oc CentervIlle,
and n. n. Cox, Of Franklin, were in
Bolivar last Saturday, having came
from Someryille overland, looking
out route for the proposed road from
Nashville to Memphis. They were
met by number of prominent citi-
zens and business men, all Of whom
seem TO be deeply interested IN the
road A meeting was called for Tues
day which was well attended. We
publish the results of the meeting in
another column, 1t is not necessary
to 90 into detail Of the advantages to
the Memphis and Nashville Railroad
this 7, ute will afford, or TO en-
umerate the reasons why it viii be
more profitable for the line to pass
over a route equidistant between the
/ l.. and n. on the north and the NJ.
and G. on the South. This duty is in
the hands of practical and compe-
tent committees who are deeply in
terested in the work. 1t is with the
people Of our town and county and
along this route for the proposed road
we would speak. This is probably
the best opportunity yeu will have Of
securing an east and west railroad
connection, and every man who has
the interest Of his town and county,
and his own interest at heart, should
20 TO work and do all in bis power
for the road. 1t will be made plain
to the company that this is the best
route to take, and with anything like
! proper encoura cement from the peo-
| pie along the line and the towns
through which it passes the road is
certain to come this way. No farmer
should fail to work in the interest of
the road, as the increased value Of
the lands contiguous thereto will
be more than double their present
value, and the road Will open new
and competing markets for the pro-
ducts Of the farm. Every merchant
should encourage the building Of the
road by taking stock, be it ever 50
small, as it will create a COMPETE
ton which is sure to cheaper freight
and enable him TO sell more goods by
selling them cheaper Every citizen
should encourage the road because it
Will increase the value of his home
and property, and bring to him an
cOse Of communication with the world
east and west, which he now has not.
The cities Of Memphis and Nashville
should encourage the adoption Of this
route because it will place in easy
communication with them a trade
which now goes in another direction,
either down the Tennessee river or
over a north and s3uth road-an ad-
vantage neither of the routes pro-
posed north of this affords. Every
town along the line should take ac-
tive steps to secure the road, because
1t will add to their population and in
crease their facilities for commerce.
We believe the people Of this coun-
~ are unanimously for the road and
Fayette has passed strong resolutions
looking to secure it. Chester Will
come to the front, and as the route is
( pretty well settled on east of Ten
nessee river, we believe with earnest
work OH the part of the committees
and the public the new road over this
line is an assured fact.

Tennessee Schools

American Joarhal IF Education.
The signs Of the times here in
dIcate steady progress. Hons Thos
II. Paine. our State Superintendent
Of Public Schools, is doing a strong
and most admirable work, lie says;
"The fact that the State should
maintain ga uniform system Of pub
lie schools" is nearly assured The
growth of population continually
requires additional educational facil-
tiles: but our increasing wealth at
the same time supplies the means
for meeting the new demands, So
that our school interests are steadily
keeping pace with the general pro-
gress Of the State. This fact is clear
ly shown by the large excess of re
ceipts Of school money for the last
scholastic year over those Of any
former year. It will be seen by re
ference to the statistics that these re-
ceipts amounted to S1.204, 738, 40,
including the balance on hand July
