a direct eastern road to the Mississippi
river, but the space between Red river,
on which Alexandria is located, is UNI.
occupied by any road, except for about
twenty-eight miles of the Natcbez,
Red River and Texas narrow gauge.
We have here presented, field for
a splendid enterprise in the building
of a road from Natchez to AlcSandrla
or the continuation and broadening Of
the N, r. r. & Il. road, now incor
porated.

splendid advantages to be gained b!
