MISSISSIPPI CENTRAL AND TENNESSEE RAILROAD
The Board of Directors Of this road met at Bolivar
Saturday the 18th inst, and organized by electing
Judge Brown, ofthis place. President, and Gen. r.
p Nicely, Secretary and Treasurer.
We have every confidence that this road will be
pushed on to a rapid and successful completion
The right sort of men have taken hold of it. Now
ifthe State wishes to make profitable investment
let the Legislature take interest in this great en-
terprse twill be presented to the mind of every
thinking man. at once, that this is bound to be the
best Taying road in the United States, and if tie
State has been, on other occasions not 50 prudent
rs she might have been, it would now be an act of
extreme folly to stand still and let this chance slip
Of repairing the losses that she may have sustained
by being partner in those ruinous enterprises that
never did, nor ever will, pay. We have reference
to those turnpikes, that we always viewed as Wis
ionary and eXtravagant We hope and expect
that the Legislature will grant to this road the same
aid that she has already granted to others of much
less Importance to the country. But, be this as it
may. we have every confidence that the road will
be built And when this is done, we look upon
the Western District of Tennessee as second to no
country in the world-C Central (JackSon) Democrat
