' Improvement
Again the Louisville & NaahviDc Rail
road has gone to market in order that
it may maintain its property up to tho
standard which has always characteriz
ed the "Old Reliable." This large sum
includes an appropriation of $7,900,000
for 24 new heavy locomotives. 1+50 coal
cars of giant capacity. 750 automobile
cars. 30) box cars. 12 modern passenger
coaches. 6 baggage cars, and 4 splendid
all-steel dining cam. all of which are
scheduled for 3929 delivery.
In addition to this equipment. ?5.000
tons of 100-lb. rail, at a cost of $2,700,000,
have be-n ordered, the delivery to begin
at once.
The p'acing of these substantial orders
should be encouraging to the people of
the L. & X. -served territory in view of
the fact that it evidences the Company's
confidence in the states it serves, a con
fidence further accentuated fcy the fact
that during the first nine months of 1923
the Company actually expended for new
improvements a total of more thejx
$9,250,000 and has authorized and out
standing an additional $7,300,000.
The recentappropriation of S10.>30,000,
therefore, makes the aggregate amount
of work authorized and outstanding
nearly $18,300,000. Many dollars of these
appropriations will find their way into
the territory in which this C;ws.;-per
is published.

SHOOTING FIRECRACKERS
Mayor Cooper asks that the at
tention of the pe oplc of the com
munity he called to the fact that
no shooting of firecf ackers will he
allowed upon the streets of Murphy,
hut that the city council ruled that
as long as the shooting of fire crack
ers was confined to your own prem
ise* and not on the public streets no
one would he molested. However,
the officers have been instructed to
preferr charges against anyone
caught shooting them on the public
streets.
He also said he hoped everybody
would have a good time, not violate
any ruling of the board, not get hurt
or start any fires, or do anything
else that would warrant a further
curtailment of this privilege.
