| Ala. & Miss. Rivers Railroad |
| Spring Arrangement |
| |
| On and after March 13th, the Northwestern
Railroad will be regularly opened for travel, and the passenger train
and time changed, so as to leave Newbern at 7 a. m. (after the stages
for this place arrive from the west, &c.) and arrive in Selma at
10 a. m., in time to connect with the Alabama & Tennessee Rivers
Railroad train Northward bound, the morning steamboats, and stages for
Montgomery. |
| After the arrival of the Alabama &
Tennessee R. R. R. passenger train, the train will leave Selma at 3 p.
m. and arrive at Newbern at 6:40 p. m., there connecting with the
stage lines to Livingston, Columbia and Tuscaloosa. There is about 19
miles less staging b y this route to Greensborough than via the Marion
route. |
| This change of trains and time will enable
Planters living along the Rail Road to go to Selma and return the same
day. |
