The story which has been in circu-
lation to the effect that the Gulf u
Ship Island Railroad Company nae
bought the Gulf & Chicago road Is
based upon a want of knowledge OF
the railroad situation in this State.
Superintendent Moran of the former
company denies the statement as be-
ing without the shadow of a founda-
ton. The fact is now well settled
that the Gulf & Chicago road has
been purchased by the Mobile, Jack
son & Kansas City road. Attorney
General McClurg was asked some
time ago about the legality OF the
consolidation of the two lines, and
found that they were in no sense
competing roads. The Mobile, Jack
son & Kansas CITY is now engaged
in pushing work on the line from
Hattiesburg and Laurel, with a view
to making a connection with tn
Gulf g. Chicago at Pontotoc.
