Sth. They are glarlngly misleading. and
therefore do the people here a gross in

The facts are as follows:
ABOUT five years ago the branch line

by the people OF Murfreesborc town

which occurred month or two ago,

to make arrangements with the Sea-
board Air Line for its future operation.

contract.
Pending these negotiations. and with
out the slightest notice to the people Of
Murfreesboro the Seaboard Air Line, on
the evening OF the It'll instant, shut out
all Murfreesboro trains, and also had
the Western Union Telegraph company
to permanently close IFS office here
Thus we were shut out from the world

NO mail, no express, no freight and no
anything

Line sent Il special In here loaded with
officials and train hands They came
to take up sidings. turn tables. etc The
people Of Murfreesboro cared nothing

pleased with. But the thing that did
arouse the indignation Of the people was
the uncivil and discourteous treatment
or the day before. and the fact that in
face Of that they had come IN here over
Il private road, without permission or
authority from It's owners.
Hence the derailing of the track and
burning Of the bridge. Hence the re-
