The Illinois Central.
st. Louis Railway Reporter

st. Louis Railway Reporter.
The Illinois Central, since it acquired
the Chicago, st. Louis & New Orleans r.
R., has decided to construct numerous
branches and feeders in Mississippi.
These short lines will be built mostly on
the west side Of the line and are designed
to connect it with the Mississippi and
give access to the rich cotton lands along
that river. The road now lies on the
great central ridge about a hundred
miles distant from the river and, though
the soil along the line is for the most
part good, it is not as rich as that of the
river bottom where the best cotton is
grown BY building these feeders the
company gains all the advantages Of
passing through theproductivelow lands,
without losing those Of having its main
track on high ground, where it can all
the better be kept in repair and over
which through business can bedone with
greater ease and quicker time.
The Illinois Central is determined to
develop Mississippi by giving it the adj
ditional railway facilities which it's river
districts so much need and from them
the company itself must derive a great
profit, besides adding to the value Of the
main line. The people of Mississippi
ought to appreciate the Central for it is
doing the State excellent service.
