for their heads. As well might they try to
scull a potash-kettle up the Falls of Niagara

The inaugural excursion over the Cincin-
natl Southern Railroad will be great
event for this city, and it will be tie great
est entertainment that has ever been offered
to the business men of the South. The fact
they are now all moored. almost, on the
southern bank of the Ohio will be made
pleasantly apparent to them. The hosp

number of visitors will be the pleasure and
convenience of Southern business men IN
accepting the broad invitation and the
ability of the Southern Railroad to carry
them.
