| Memphis to New Orleans |
| We have great pleasure in announcing that
the city of
Memphis
is now in direct railroad connection with the city of New Orleans. The connection of the
Mississippi
&
Tennessee
road with the Mississippi
road at Grenada {the Mississippi
Central RR}, has, by the energetic efforts of Mr. Richards, the auditor of the
road, been accomplished. The traveler can now go along one unbroken
road from Memphis
to New Orleans {using the above two
roads and the New Orleans, Jackson & Great Northern RR}, and we hope the day is not far distant when the connection will be
extended by the Iron
Mountain
to St. Louis.
