Book excerpt: Excerpt from Suburban Homes for Business Men, on the Line of the Marietta Railroad: A Description of the North-Eastern Suburbs, the Scenery, Soil, Cost of Property, Conveniences of Living, Churches, Schools and Societies We fear the legislative provisions requiring the Cincinnati Southern road to carry freight and passengers at the same rates for connecting lines as for the main trunk, and the fact that it will form, with our roads which lap it a shorter route for Louisville than for Cincinnati, have blinded our people to the real danger that menaces her by its building. There is a danger which true courage will not underestimate, but look in the face and conquer if possible. Let us, then, calmly consider the direct and incontrovertible effect of the now certain construction of this great Southern line. Starting at Cincinnati, it passes through seven successive counties in the very heart of our State, and right through our very best coal field, crossing the Cumberland river at the mouth of the south fork, in the midst of the very choicest iron making coals of Kentucky, and her richest lumber and iron ore region, and pushing south ward further it taps the vast coal center and iron region of Tennessee, Ala bama, and Georgia, at Chattanooga, thus invading the mineral and lumber magazines of the South.
