| {Memphis & Little
Rock} Railroad |
| On the 20th inst. the road
from here to Devall's Bluff, 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. |
