We heard a gentleman remark yes
terday that he believed the Cairo "
Tennessee River Railroad would be
built by Jay Gould, as he would
want it to connect with his Iron

as anybody else. What We want is
the road.
1t is probable that Mr.. j. s. Forey,
now with Forbes Bros, will be an APP

could not select a better man in their
party than Mr.. Forey TO give 1t to.
