Memphis, seIa. and Brunswick.

The Memphis, Selma and Brunswick road,
Of which Mr.. Fred Wolfe is president and
Major J. J. Busby, of this city, vice-presi-
dent, is now no longer a mere probability.
Il is a certainty. For long time the people
thought it was only TO be road on paper,
but a considerable amount OF work has al
ready been done upon it as guarantee of lis
completion. 1t runs through another fine
stretch of country. Ii is mostly an up
land country, favorable to sheep-raising,
cotton, corn and wheat. Z ia ssid that it is
capable of producing from fifteen 10 twenty
FIVE bushels per acre. In addition to its fer
1iIity, il il known as an exceedingly healthy
country. Ii grows fine grapes. and is well
watered and timbered. This ia the condition
of the country from here to Holly Springs.
From that point TO Pontotoc will be found
large pine forests, and rock quarries. 1t is
destined to become fine milling country.
At Okolona II strikes a very rich
prairie country; and thence on TO
Aberdeen the land will produce
Ia great abundance wheat, oats, barley, rye,
potatoes, fine apples and peaches. From
4 herdeen the route lies through a magni6-
cent country for farming and milling pur-
poses. and will penetrate the coal-6elds Of
Alabama. A very fine quality OF coal can
be obtained here, regarded indeed IS highly
