HELENA.

opinion of those whom it is believed
are in a position to know that a ail
road between Helena and Fit.zgerari
will be realized in the very near

Fitzgerald, already have a road wnich
traverses part of the distance, and it
is reported that the capitalists in both
places have about subscribed enough
stock to insure the extension to Hel
ena.

euier Helena by tiie right-of-way cf
the Seaboard Air Line railway, ar. 1
use the same union passenger dec A
which tiie Southern and Seaboard
roads now use.
This is a step much needed in the
progress, of south Georgia. Although
short, the road would open one of the
richest farming sections in the state.

a faying local line, it would eventually
cause the reduction of freight rates
to Helena and Fitzgerald, since It

nections reach into the water.
