| Ala. & Tenn. River Rail Road |
| The track lying on this road still continues to
progress. The road is finished eleven miles this side of Talladega to a
station called Munford -- a distance from Selma of 121 miles. On next
Friday, the first day of June, the passenger train will commence running
regularly from Selma to Munford, and the passengers and mail will be
received and carried from Munford through by way of Jacksonville to
Rome, Georgia, and intermediate points, by Messrs. Powell & Hutchinson's
fine line of Stage Coaches. This line of coaches is not surpassed by any
line of stages South and passes through a healthy and beautiful country
to Rome, Georgia. |
| Travellers South or West of Selma,
desiring to go to Tennessee and Virginia springs will find this route,
from 75 to 100 miles nearer than by way of Montgomery and Atlanta, much
the quickest time, and several dollars the cheapest. A route embracing
all these high qualifications, will, as soon as it is known, command the
attention and patronage of the travelling community. |
| The staging on this line will be reduced
in a short time to 61 or 65 miles. |
