has done less to merit criticism, and is

islature to brig about reforms and in
troduce economy orce more into the af-
fairs of the state, there is no reason
why Tennessee should not assume
again her high position among the
states of This, our great urion. -Harde-

that there is no cause Of alarm in the

otherwise those infected would have
been detained.
Fever ships have arrived frequently

Opposition to the proposed railroad
comes from three or four men in Nor
gantown who have held, or may hold
the fattest offices in the county.
They say ''we must 9a0lo take care OF
ourselves" They have been honored
and helped by the voters Of Morgan
District and owe all, or large part
of their wealth to the offices and fat
fees the people gave them. They re-
pay all this by violently opposing the
proposed railroad subscription, and
advising and exacting exorbitant
prices for rights of way; in short, by
opposing in every form every public
improvement.
