| From the The Standard {Clarksville, Tex.} |

| Defaulting Stockholders |
| At the meeting of the
Directors of the M. E. P. & P. {Memphis, El Paso &
Pacific} Railroad Company, held at their office in Paris, Texas
on the 17th and 18th inst., it was ordered that Stockholders who refuse
to settle the calls due from them, either by cash or note, be
immediately sued. |
| It is hoped that all will
settle promptly, as there is, and has been for some time, a large force
upon the road, and no available means in the Treasury to meet the
demands from contractors. |
| Very respectfully, |
| Wm. Bramlette |
| Sec'y and Treasurer |
