Eventually, the Southern Railway System absorbed this railroad. At center on this piece is a beautiful green "25" overprint. A lovely green back with a cotton plant at center is also present. At bottom right on the face lies the facsimile signature of N(athaniel) B(edford) Forrest, famous Confederate general who participated in several business ventures after the war.
