of the Bank of st. Martinville
held their first meeting Monday
and reelected the same officers,
viz: Robert Martin, president, F.
Rousseau, ice.president, Albert

assistant cashier.
The colored people regretted
not to be able to see the perfor-
nance of the Georgia Minstrel
last Tuesday. The hall has no
accommodation for their admission,
but if ever we have real Opera
house, place ought to be reser-
we'd for the colored people.

"The Realm of the Wonderfup is

SOMEBODY'S TOES ARE HURT

The La Fallett Railroad Company
Is the weapon now in use with
which to thwart the Ohio River,
Knoxville and Tidewater giant.
The first thrust was made without
warning in the County Court OF
Campbell last week. As'is usual,
right won and the designing re-
treated but to make another attack
in the nighttime. What is meant
by this the La Fallett company,
after submitting proposition to
to the court, and after persuading
their friends to vote against all
propositions, at three o'clock Fri.
day morning prepared another prop
osition for the court to act upon
on the 10th of this month.

ITALIAN HAND OF THE x. 30.

Mr.. Clemmer, agent for Col.
Boone, who has been in Maryville
several weeks looking after the
interest of the Ohio River, Knox
vile and Tilewater Railroad,
rem oved his headquarters Tuesday
morning to .Iellico, where he will
be located for some weeks. He
called at the TINES Office Monday
and upon being asked how matters
were along the line, he replied:
GAS you know, Col. Boone and
associates appeared before the
County Court of Campbell last
Wednesday with a proposition for
the county to take 100000 stock in
our road. Upon arriving there a
local obstacle confronted us-the
Knoxville and Ohio railroad, under
the assumed name of the La Fallett
Railway Company. The charter of
the La Fallett Railway company is
a newborn babe, and is both illegi-
innate and premature in birth. La
Fallett and company own about
10000 acres of mountain lands in
Campbell county, and was in a
receivers hands until about twenty
day ago. But now 1t bObs up
serenely with railroad scheme
with n charter running through
Campbell county and calling for
Knoxville as its southern terminal.
Three days after our road filed its
application with the county court
the other company flied for same
amount, and as result, the county
court was convened to act unon both
propositions at one and the same
time. We heard of La Fallet,'s
scheme and thought it hugh joke,
But upon arriving at Jacksboro we
found he had been working upon
the sympathies of the court, claim
ing he had bankrupted himself in
trying to devlop the county, and
that he now had an opportunity OF
retaining himself, at the same
time proving a godfather to the
county. To make long story
short, he had so deceived the court
as to claim promises from 2Sjustices
out of 81. The discussion which
followed the converting of court too
plainly showed the fallacy of La
Fallett and company to admit of
any doubt of their insincerity with
the county. A lawyer at Jacksboro
had certified copies of letters and
kilograms written and sent by La
Fallett too years since when like
proposition was agitating the
county which showed insincerity,
andlthe effect of their reproduction,
and the conclusive proof that the
Knoxville and Ohio road was hid.
den in the background, knocked Ls
Fallett's proofs helterskelter
Though we had a decided majority
of the court at the close of discus.
sion, it was deemed inexpedient
by several favoring us to submittht
proposition at this time, and with
seven or eight of our friends ant
the combined forces of La Fallett
our proposition failed by ma
jority of one, every La Fallett man
voting against submitting any
proposition at all.
