COMMERCIAL EMANCIPATION


COMMERCIAL EMANCIPATION
When the people of Nashville last
Saturday registered their votes more
than six to one in favor of Jere
Baxter's proposition to build a new
railroad from Florence, Ala, TO
Nashville, thence north to some
point in Kentucky touching the
Illinois Central Railroad, they is
a goodly part of Middle Tennessee,
commercial emancipation procla-
nation that will make money for
every producer and consumer and
tax pay r in reach of the new line of
railroad, provided, of course, the
courts allow the will Of the people to
be Obeyed.
The worm has turned. Poor old
Nashville, tax ridden and brow
beaten and robbed by the Louisville
& Nashville Railroad Company, for
all these years, has at last found
Moses to lead them out of the slough
of Despond; and, unless the courts
enjOin her from growing, there is now
a bright future for our Capital City.
The l.. & N, beaten at the polls,
will appeal to the courts. And alas!
alas it is an even toss up when the
people and corporation meet before
technical court.
However, let US hope for the best.
Mr.. Baxter has already won the first
bout before the court, and we hope
he has so hedged hi- proposition as
to be invulnerable to further attacks.
The proposed route of this road
leads from Florence, Ala, to Nash
Vile, through Hickman and Perry
counties, passing, we are told about
twenty miles west of Columbia. If
that road is built, it means-beyond
the peradventure of doubt-a new
railroad for Columbia. The Bax-
ter road is to connect at some point
north of Nashville with the Illinois
Central, and will be a feeder to
that road. Every feeder to the Bax-
ter road therefore, will help the ILL
nois Central. If the Baxter road
could reach an arm to Columbia,
that would give an important feeder
to both roads. To build that armof
twenty or twenty-five miles, would
cost In round numbers about two
hundred thousand dollars. The Till.
nois Central, the Baxter road
and Maury county would not be
long uniting their forces to build
this short line.
But 1t is by no means certain that
this will be the first new road Co.
lumbia will have to compete
with the l.. g. N. The Columbia
and Milan and Tennessee River
Railroad people are not asleep, for
all they may appear to be go. They
are as confident of building their
road as Mr.. Baxter ia of his; and as
they will involve to some extent the
same territory, it is race as to who
gets there first. There is nothing
definite or certain about either one
of them; that is true; but the proba-
bilities are they will both be built;
and in that event Columbia will be
strictly sin it," We will have then
two independent lines, both connect
ing with the Tennessee river and
the Illinois Central, and will not
only be free from the strangling
clutch of the l.. & N, but likewise
Independent and free from the en-
brace of the railroad trust at large,
which Is the only way to get COM
peting rates. For dozen roads en-
tering the same town, unless they
are owned in part by the people and
managed in their interests, will CON-
bine to rob them.

you please, by making the time for

And besides, with each subscription

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.

Though our words may be few,
they are none the less sincere, when
we extend to the good people of
Maury County our best wishes for a
Happy Christmas and Prosperous
New Year.
OF course we have had our disap-
pointments and sorrows in the year
now fast coming to its close. In
fact there is sound philosophy 10
the saying of good woman we once
knew, now dead and gone, who used
to console herself with the remark,
"You cannot get to Heaven until
you die.'
So we must expect disappoint-
ments here. Tornadoes OF wind
will sweep away our possessions and
tornadoes of grief wrack our hearts;
but the healing hand of time brings
us new joys and brighter hopes, and
somehow, in His own good time and
way God makes us to see that His
ways are right, and that He doeth
all things we'll.
And all in all, rs we look back
upon time, we say they were good
old times; and even though a tear
starts afresh at the memory OF some
sorrow SO deep, yet we smile through
these Gears and say they were happy
days that are gone.
And yet they are not gone;
they are part of us. And IL we have
not been wicked and untrue to our
selves, We may live over again the
good old days of the past and enjoy
them, even as we did In the days that
are gone.
And the future we may make even
brighter still. by being better. A cup
of cold water to stranger, or
smile to wayfaring child
friendly lift to a neighbor in the
time of need, or kindly act to some
poor woman who walks alone the
hard way of life these are the things
that will make the New Year pros
porous, light and happy to you.
Whatever blessings may suit each
heart and home the best, these are
the ones we wish for our readers,
whoever or wherever they may be.

An Embarrassing Bxporisnc,.

There was very angry young

holds a respousible position in the

up and down Judd street with his
hands tightly folded on his back

He was on the way to his virtuous
couch when be met friend who

changed the usual greetings and as
peace seemed TO pervade the whole
"beat" the officer INDUCED In a chat
with his friend.
Their conservation somehow or
other drifted on to the unplear ant
subject OF how TO adjust hsndcuff-
on q prisoner, and the officer illus
trated the process, by, clappiDg his
handouts on the wrists OF his friend
who held his hands behind the
back.
THAT was easily DONE" exclaim-
ed the young sport, NOW take them
off,"
The officer felt 10 his pocket then
search every depository in his
clothes aud turning pale at last
cried: "By Jingo," Officers don'i
swear you know IL have forgotten
the key at home. You will either
have to wait here until l get my

a man that evidently thought he had
too much money and WAS trying to lis
pose of it by giving it away. Mr..
Rsynor thought that no sane man
would act in such manner and took
the man to hotel and sent him to his
journey west on the next train.
The man was between forty and fifty
years Of age and the roll of money he
was trying to dispose OF amounted to
several hundred dollars. He also ina
eiped that some one had United
States warrant for his arrest. There is
no question but what his mind was un-
balanced.

Glory.

Oh, what glory must there be for him who hears
The happy people hailing him with cheers,
Whose fame is everywhere,
For whom banners float in air.
Who has proved his valor on the bloody field
Or won in splendid battle the waveI
What heights of glory to him revealed
In the moment of the cheering for the brayef
What glory must be his who rides along
The beheld of all beholders in the throng
Who reads love in every eye
As he proudly passes by,
Who can know that he is numbered with the
great,
Whose name will give his childrens children
pride!
what glorious reflections must elate
The statesman as he bows from side to sidei
The heroes and the men who rule few.
There may never be chance for or you;
We may never hear a cheer
From the crowd when appear,
But there is a joy the feast OF us may know;
The pride that keeps afame within the breast
II him, however high, however low,
Who has found work that he can do the
best.
