I would again call attention to the fact that

completed for the building of a railroad from
Opelika to Gnnteisville, by the way of Jackson
ville and Gadsden. This will flank Atlanta, the
State road and Rome, and, by intersecting the
Wills Valley road, will, from Chattanooga, throw
most of the freights and travel off the State
road. All the business that will go from the
West to Macon, Savannah, Columbus and all of
Southwest Georgia, will seek this line, and the
State road, the Georgia road and the Macon and

course, Atlanta will be deeply injured. Wo
