| Ala. & Miss Rivers Rail Road Co. |
| Spring Arrangement |
| On and after March 13th the
Northwestern Railroad {of Alabama} will be regularly opened, and the passenger
train time changed, so as to leave Newbern at 7 a. m., in time to
connect with the Alabama & Tennessee River Rail Road, northward
bound, the morning steamboats and stages for Montgomery. |
| After the arrival of the
Alabama & Tennessee Rivers Rail Road passenger train, the train
will leave Selma at 3 o'clock, P. M., and arrive in Newbern at 6:40 P.
M., then connecting with the stage lines to Livingston, Columbus and
Tuscaloosa. There is about ten miles less staging by this route to
Greensboro than via the Marion route. |
| The change of trains and time
will enable Planters living along the Rail Road to go to Selma and
return the same day. |
