At the last session of the General
Assembly nn act was passed and became
a law. compelling the Railroad
Company to fence their road where
the right of way had been donated
to them. They were to have 3
months' notice. They have been
notified but say they are not compelled
to build the fences and declined
to do so. Now why compel
the unfortunate, down-trodden farmer
to keep up a line offence and let
the big, bloated, grinding monopolists
defy tho law? As soon as said
act was passed an order was issued,
so I understand, by the L. & N. Rai'-road
Company, that they would pay
for no more stock that was 'killed,
and directing section men not to appraise
any that were killed.
