| The Completion of the Railroad |
| Last Monday the last rail was driven in
the Mobile & Ohio railroad by M. J. D. Baldwyn, the projector of the
enterprise. A special train passed here Monday morning with Mr. B. on
board. He was saluted at the depot with a shot from our big gun. |
| This road will stand as an enduring
monument to Mr. Baldwyn and link his name to posterity as a great
benefactor of mankind. |
