LIGHT AHEAD.
A Cheering Hope That the Tennes-
see g. Coosa r. r. Will Soon
be Built

The Guntersville Democrat last week
publishes letter from DR.. John A. wy
eth, Of New York city, in which that
gentleman says:
am still working to get the railroad
built-while greatly chargrined and dis
appointed that our bright prospects Of
last Spring were blasted, think the de-
lay is only temporary.
Circumstances beyond control combin-
ed to frighten the capital had directed
toward our enterprise. The agitation of
the land question in Congress,t the scare
crow of the old mortgage to the State,
which hung like the tabled sword
of Damocles over the T. & G. r. r., were
all calculated to make capitalists hesitate
to put their money in this enterprise, or g
upon which in truth depends the rapid
development Of our section.
The head of one Of the largest banking
houses in New York. firm which has
large sums invested in North Alabama,
and which has furnished the means for
the development of some of the most
successful projects in the State, recently
assured me that if we could secure re-
lease, by the legislature, from the mort
gage of 1860, we could secure the means
necessary for the completion Of the rails
road. With this accomplished and the
fulfllment of the promises made by va
rious individuals who are financially in
terested in the road that personal claims
should not stand in the way Of the com>
pletion of project SO much needed
by our people, sincerely believe anoth-
er yeat will not pass before the sound
of the locomotive will echo among the
hills and valleys Of old Marshall
Sincerely yours,
JOHN A. WYETH

MIR. ALLAIN'S WAGER.

Hon. Theophile 7. Allan Of Sou
louque, Iberville Parish, La, OF
whom has frequently been men-
toned in these columns, has written
letter to the New Orleans Times
! Democrat and makes a proposition
worthy Of the most serious considera
ton. He says:
"A few days ago The es-Dem-
ocrat called attention to the fact that
the Negro was treated much worse in
the North than in the South, being
crowded out Of all the trades and in
dustries, whereas here he is always
certain Of employment"
"Now, sir, | desire to throw out
this wager to any colored man north
Of the Ohio river.
First, | would say that in the par
ish Of Iberville, La, within the. last
five years. | have competed against
about fifty white levee contractors
before the State Board Of Engineers,
under Cows, McEnery aud Nichols.
| have been under bond to The State
Of Louisiana for 5000, and will
have constructed, when my present
levees in Ibervile are completG d.,
$35 900 worth of levee work, the work
being done with white superinten-
dents and colvred superintendent,
white laborers and col'red laborers,
working side by eide, and for the
same wages. Now, to the point. If
any colored man north Of the Ohio
river will send me at Soulouque, La,
certified certificate from the Secre-
tary of State Of any Of the States
north Of the Ohio, to show that said
colored man did in person compete
before board OF State public works,
and that he had charge Of State
work for over 81, 900, and was under
bond therefor, and that he had un.
der him white SUI erintendents and
colored superintendents, white lab~r
ers and colored laborers, all working
for the same amount Of wages, accor
ding to their positions on his works,
| will ship to his address, freight
paid, Jersey heifer, which is regis
tered in the American Jersey Cattle
Book Of New York, and is worth
$3.50. This wager will be kept open
ninety days. White and colored
newspapers in the United States
please copy. speak not as Dem
ocrat, but as Grant, Blaine and
Harrison Republican Of the South.
Very respectfully submitted,
THEOPHILE I. ALLAN.

Soldiers, Attention /!

wish to call your attention to the
fact that there are many ex-solJiers
in Hooking county who are to- day
drawing respectable pensions and many
who were receiving very small pen
sions that are now drawing much larger
pensions than they were over year
ago when first came to this town.
And there are many more who are en-
:itled to pensions and increase pen
sions who can easily obtain the same
by making the proper application. Ex-
soldiers, it Is much easier for you to
establish your claims while you are
living than it viii be for your wife and
children after you are deceased. Now
let me urge you who were in the United
States service and contracted any dis
abil;ty however slight, it entities you
TO persioa under existing laws. II
you will call at my Office l can give
yon any iuform alton you desire con-
cern;ng pensions, increase pensions,
bounty or any claim you might rave
against the government. There are
great many old claims pending unset
tied and abandoned he cause of failure
to establish them by testimony. Any
having these kind of cases l would be
pleased to have you call on me at your
earliest convenience, and all those who
have claims pending in my care and
especially those who have calls for tes>
timony unfurnished, l would be glad
to have you call and see me and at
tend to it IS soon as possible. We do
business through the pension office di.
-ectly by one of our firm in Washing
ton, and have the opportunity of at.
tending 10 pension claims promptly
and speedily. Any having claims as l
have mentioned above call and see
me at my Office.
