The people of Georgia and Of A1abama

t1citcmrut over proposition TINT the city
of Cincinnati, and Northern capital gener-
ally. shall build q railroad 3tl miles in length

already built from Atlanta, Georgia, ia
Chattanooga, and Georgiu has voted 6tate
u.l 10 build other r,als in Ta1iuus directions
f:r,n Atlanta. Colonel f. Hull,urt, the en-
ll:.se, II the Georgia railways, states the
EE1a1" q miles OF rn1way leading from all
I.1,- II the Southern States into Georgia
lit ::,:,:s, niles, not including 5s,0 not yet

tl,nc. by the prupe sei road north to Cia-
c:i!!:.ts te trunler 10 that city the entire
trade to and from The Southwestern States

Tie same gentleman. addressing 4 Gin
cinnati audience, and asking 8 subscription
towards building the road, pointed out the
fact tlEt Pensacola WIS on an airline TO

10 the permanent wealth Of those States.
II leads 10 the public recognition of labor

Of these railways mikes the cnltiv.stion OF

that has never been understood nt the

to Chattanooga will bo built. II will carry

IL Is Uut likely that the States east Of the
