| Through to Memphis |
| The Clarksville Jeffersonian
learns that arrangements have been made with W. F. Gray, the mail
contractor from that point to Paris, to put a line of four horses
stages in the gap between the Tennessee river and the end of the track
toward Paris, to run until the tracklaying is finished to the
Tennessee river. The gap is now about sixteen miles, but as a large
force is now employed in laying the track, it is believed that the
road will be finished by the first or the fifteenth of March. This
arrangement for running the stages in the gap will be completed in a
few days, and the stages will commence running on Monday, the
twenty-first. The trip from Louisville to Memphis can then be made in
from four to six hours less than by any other route. |
