approached, causing her instant death.

FROM MILAN TO AT.
LANTA.

From Milan to Atlanta is 800
miles. From Milan to st. Louis is
235 miles, making the distance from
st. Louis to Atlanta, by way of Mi
Ian, $50 miles, 70 miles nearer than
by any other route. In addition to
this, the grades on this road would be
much lighter than on the road by
Nashville and Chattanooga. This
road would run through the finest
iron and coal regions of Tennessee
and Alabama, passing through the
rich iron belt in Wayne and Law
renee counties, Tennessee, and thro'
Blount, st Clair and Calhoun coun.
ties, Alabama. 1t would shorten the
distance from Atlanta to Memphis 70
miles, and from Atlanta to st. Louis
70 miles. 1t would give .hc Illinois
Central railroad the command of the
trade of South Carolina, Florida and
Georgia. The local trade on this road
would be valuable, as it develops so
much rich mineral country. The IL
linois Central Railroad company can
build it and no other road can. 1t
would rebound more to the interest OF
that road than any they coull build,
as it would give them the almost en-
tire control of Southern trade and
travel. We are not looking at it as
it would benefit Milan, but as il

Such a thing as united democracy
