posed New Railroad Enterprise.
Efforts have been persistently
made to get arbitrary or division of
traffic rates with the |. G. R. r.
from Lake County to Obion, and
also with the N, G. & st. L. r.
r., at Hickman, KY, without
definite or satisfactory results, and
the building Of a road to either
point without some clear under
standing would not be ordinary
business prudence, as it would
place us at the mercy of one rail
road, and, however clever they
might be, human nature might die
tate terms Improbable to our
short line.
Lake county is in great need Of
railroad connections to develop its
immense resources and the writ
or being very much interested in
Lake and Obion counties (yet not
not more than the humblest citi-
zen, only in proportion to his
holdings) has thoroughly investi-
gated the two routes aforemen-
toned, and, while both are good
enough, the connections are not
satisfactory without assurances,
which have not been made, and
not being willing to put his money
into a doubtful place, has not
asked anyone else to. Being thus
blocked off, like the Populite, he
started out last Monday to ''hunt
something better" and found it
between Reelfoot Lake and Union

found every inch of the country

want something like other people
have and are willing to do some
thing.

an ideal route to build cheap
railroad through the richest coun-
try on earth. If a railroad can

in Middle or East Tennessee, Ala
oama, Georgia or Mississippi, this
me ought to pay 25 per cent on

This road ought to be built by
he people at each end and on the
way from Union City to Upton
lille, crossing the lake at or near
he Nashville club house, a dis
ance of twenty-nine TO thirty-one
niles. 1t is a good route, it is
easible, and in my judgment it
will pay; for this reason, the

the only candidate from West

Judge Swiggart is not only an
able man, but he is an exemplary
man whose splendid character
gives him prestige wherever he is
known. He will become a for
midable candidate for Governor,
regardless of the character of his
competitors. He is especially
strong in this division of the State
and will develop strength in the
other sections. The field will pre-
sent an array of strong men, and
there is little danger of a ''small

Will shortly be towed down the

Joined together, so that a dock will
be formed with o length enabling the
biggest warships building and the
heaviest battleships to be taken from

pacity remaining over. Two years
ago the government contracted for
this dock at a cost of $500, 600 and de-
cided to locate it at this place on the
Mississippi river, where the water is
deep and free from salt. This place
is to become an important naval sta
tion and the dock is to be the largest |
in the system Of dry docks that now
extend from Maine to the gulf. The
new dry dock will be about 5000
tons larger than that at Bermuda,

severe gales are encountered the task
