| On the 26th inst. the road
from here to Devall's Bluff {Vicksburg, Shreveport
& Texas RR}, on White river, was completed, the last spike being
driven in by our venerable townsman W. E. Woodruff, sr. The cars are
making regular trips now and we are in communication with White river, a
stream navigable all the year. The directors will turn their attention
to the completion of the middle division which, when finished, will
connect us with Memphis. Their ability to do this work is much greater
than many suppose. As soon as we receive some data which Mr. Edmonson
promised to furnish us with, we will show that the completion of the
road is a point of easy attainment, with a little aid from the right
quarter. |
