THE CONNECTION ALL RIGHT.-The change
of schedule on Sunday last has been such as
to make general connection of all the rail
roads with the Mississippi Central. Heretofore
delay of some hours was caused at Grand
Junction; but since the change, passengers 60
ing either north, south, east or west, will not
be detained more than few minutes at this
point. This will be a great saving of time,
both at Canton and Grand junction. and our
road will be able to make the trip in several
hour less time from New Orleans to Wash

The BUSINESS OF OUR RAILRoAD-The
business of no Railroad in America has in
creased more rapidly than the Mississippi
Central has since its completion. One day
during last week, sixty-one carloads of cot
ton passed the Holly Springs Depot. The
value of the cotton shipped on that day could
not have amounted to much less than $780,
600. On Friday last, another train of nine
teen car loads started from our depot direct
through to New Orleans. The completion Of
this road seems to be putting new life and ac-
ton into all descriptions of business, and our
people need not be surprised to hear of the es-

favor of female suffrage. He says that "eve-

blasted before the vote of woman But ma

getting himself elected by a woman's vote

interesting place as they would be in voting to
fill the public olfices.-LomsuHe journal.
