work has been in progress only on a.
end OF the line, and that is the souI
end. 1t is understood that the onraI
have arranged for placing a large force n
hands at work grading the north end
toward the Tennessee river. The Nh
twenty miles which was CONSTRUCTED o
them by j. w. Worthington, Of this cy
about two months ago, has been grsdtg
and another contract for grading fifteen
more miles was let to the same psrtv
several days ago. Track laying is Dn
crossing very rapidly on this end Of b-
line. The road is being completed at tba
rate Of fifteen miles per month
An AGE reporter learned YESTERDAY
tnat the Louisville < Nashville otfcjss
had decided on the following plan: To
award other contracts for grading On
both ends of the line at once, and Id
heavy forces OF men commence the work
and 90 toward each other They intend
to have the road completed to the Ten.
nessee river by January /. They have
also decided to build an iron bridge over
the Tenn essee river at Manchester The
river banks at that place rise on each /
side, so as to form very high bluEs. YOe
bridge will span these bluffs. The
structure WILDE necessaryas the steamer
can pass under it very easily The bridge
will in ali probability be suspension,
and will be over 1000 feet in length. The
company will let the contract for tue
erection OF this bridge at once, 50 that
work may begin. 1t will require Overs
year in which to finish the bridge, and
they desire that the work begin, 50 that
it can be finished just as soon as possible
The building OF this bridge at Manches
ter and the fact that the road will pass
through that place will give this little
town boom. The people Of the town
are jubilant over this fact. The road Will
be about 10 miles in length, when
completed, and will BE- one Of the mot
important in the State. Fifty miles o.
its line will be north Of the Tennessee
river. The outlook for its early COM
pletion is very favorable, and especially

rection OF such officials as those Of the
Louisville and Nashville, and by slcl

bouquet of flowers which developed into a
portrait of Mrs. Cleveland though the like

the property of the late Commodore n.

years she foaled the bay colts Collector
