The assertion that the narrow gauge
road was compelled to stop running on
account OF the cutting OF the Mississippi
above this point is utterly groundlcss.
Though they have been put to some in
convenience, and have had to move their
track number of times, there was no
necessity for their abandoning their
trains. The real cause of the taking
or Of trains on this end OF the road must
be attributed to the caving in of the tunrs'
short distance north OF Joncsboro, and
not TO the cutting OF the Mississippi
above this city.
