M0.411 * Per mile THE CHEROKEE SCO oldest railroads in America is the Ponchartrain, railroad which runs* from New Orleans tQ Lake Ponchartrain, now a part of the L. N. system. It received its charter Janaury 18-10. The Lexington & Onto Railroad, likewise *? part of the L. & N. system, received Us' charter Januaiy 7. 183o. Thus two of the earliest railroads itji the United States were built in Kentuck and Louisiana, showing that the States of the Middle West and far South were j' just as enterprising and up-to-date, as those of the East. These two : railroads first used horse power. In | the construction of the Lexington & j ' Ohio road longitudinal limestone sills and iron strip- for rails were ' used io that it would he solid and ' thus cndurV' forewr. LTnfortunately I the heavy winter frosts played hav-1' I oc with the tone sills. An old book)' ??f thst tinu< -rHtt that many curveal were put in the track by the con-) j - tructio!. engineers .-?> that the con-1 duejor could see the end of his train now and then and be sure that ali the <>ache-! were there.

ISal. that books of subscription were opened, whin II .o"?8 shai were subscribed for. The fiist payment the stock subj serial ion was SaSBrlof which *22.i "?"? was paid out for j dvi rtising. The j Iiemainder was plaeed the trearuiy. The Louisvill & WasafijilU tailroad company began its career with $115.45. The first president of the road was Mr. L. L. Shrive. The first depot was at Tent and Maple Street-;, in Louisville. The first offices of the company were in Bullitt end Main St re t>. ip the Loui viiie (.las company building. Capttalizct at $3,000,000 The L. & N. railroad started off \vitj1 um authorized capitalization ? f three million dollar-^ for which tho c:ty .if Louisville subsnbed one million. and sweralj counties, three hundred thousand, one hundred thousand, etc. This stock wa aft .rwards ; bought hack from the cities and coun I tie. that subscribed for it and they li.ce.ced over four dollars for every ' dollar put intu it. The ally promoters of the L. A: N. probably did not have in mind ihcir road farther from Louisville than to Nashville. However, they later conceived the idea of going! South t0 some point o? the Missis-: -ippi river. The first sleeping cars| from Louisville to New Orleans op-j elated over tho L. A: N. via llum-j boldt, the Mobile & Ohio, the Mis- 1 i-s.ppi Cential and the New Orleans Jackson & Great Northern. Of course, trains hid bv*.n tun to ' intermediate points before the operatic,, of the through train to Nash- 1 ville. In I860, the road was 209 miles long. In 1871, the L. & N. railroad leased the Nashville & Decatur railroad and ecqiriwd the Memphis, Clarksville & Louisville 1 railroad. In 1S72, the L. & N. acquired the Mobile & Montgomery, the ' New Orleans, Mobile & Texas, the Pensacola railroad, and the Pensa- ' cola ?.V Sc-lma; ant! built the Pensacola and Atlantic. To thtt North, it acquired the Louisville, Cincinnati & Lexington and the Owensbodo & Nashville; it acquired the Kentucky Central, the Evans ville, Henderson & * N*ashville and leased the Southeast & St. Louis; it brought controlling interest in the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis railway; and leased the 1 Georgia Railroad jointly with the At- . lantic Coast lines. Subsequently it constructed the Birmingham^ Mineral anil the line to Norton, Va., and acquired the Alabama Mineral, the Atlanta, Knoxville & Northern and the Lexington & Eastern, extending the latter 100 mile* into the coal fields. < NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS. , The Highway Commission of Beaverdam Township will receive- ' sealed bids for the grading of a road from the Murphy Township line to ^ Unaka, including culverts, up to the 6;h day of August. 1923.
