Memphis and Lllue Rock Railroad

Little Rock Gazette. 4th.l
The Forrest City Times thus dips its
oar into the railroad fight, and, as far as
our observation goes in the matter, we
heartily agree with it Is to the assertion
that the officers Of the Memphis and Lit
tie Rock 70 d make every effort to come
up to the exact time indicated on their
timetable: The st. Louis, Iron Noun
tain and Southern railroad are doing
their best to direct travel from the rue
outlet for the Southwest, by stating that
the trains on the Memphis and Little
Rock railroad are never on time, aud
fail to make connections, and ether
EQUALLY false statements. To correct
the impressions which may have been
made upon the minds Of travellers, We
will only state that there is no road in
the South On which trains are run more
promptly on time, or makes closer con
nections, and in proof Of this one need
only look at the immense tide Of travel
going over the road. We hope the State
press will correct any false impression
that may have been made with regard Ia
the Memphis and Little Rock railroad,
which is a true Arkansas institution,
and show that facts are etubborn things.
There is no better managed road in the
country than tho one whose claims We
advocate, and we believe it is but an act
of justice to nresent il to the people in
its true light.
