In answer to a question, Mr.. Gilman
said his company did not ask a right OF

then agreed to act on that portion of the
route asked for by the Memphis City Rail-

declined to say whether or not he would
pave Jefferson street, and when the whole
thing seemed about to lapse, submitted
the following in writing:
To the Honorable Legislative Council:
The Memphis City Railroad Company
would request you to have the Taxing
District engineer to give tins company the
proper grade of Madison street and Jeffer-
son street on or before the LIST of Septem-
Der, 1885. If this is not a s. fficient time

the grade OF these streets, please so signify.

The Holly Springs Extension.

Mr.. John L. Ratlif writes the APPEAL
from Verona, Miss, that he read with
considerable interest the letter from Mr..
David johnson, advocating the extension
OF the Memphis, Selma and Brunswick
railroad through Fulton, the county seat
of Itawamba, and while he agrees that it
may be a straight line, objects to that
route on the ground of the extra heavy
expense. He says the line would have to
cross Bull mountains, and a large amount
of cutting and grading would be necessary.
The difficulty, he thinks, could be obvi-
ated by having the line run through We
rona and crossing Bull Mountain stream
rear its mouth. The countryis finely TIM
6ered and comparatively level. Mr.. Rat
lift goes IN to say: 81 have travelled
through TO Birmingham, or near there,
during the war, and am satisfied that a
road "a be built much cheaper than The
proposed route. Besides, there is more
capital in Verona han any town between
