Dear Sir:
Out Tittle city is desirous of affording every facility to New Orleans both to through trains and to any of your citizens that choose to make our town their abode temporarily or permanently; but we learn that it is in contemplation to have a large nic-nic in our suburbs of some thousand persons from every part of your city.
To this we do most emphatically object, and beg that you will call the attention of the managers of the New Orleans & Mobile Railroad to the siibject and you will confer a favor on the majority of our citizens.
