CEOHGIIJ FLORIDA RAILROAD IS NOW PROGRESSING Progress along the line of the Geor gia and Florida railway seems to be very satisfactory, according to reports being received in the city and the Daily Bulletin of the Manufacturers Record has the following to say con corning the road: "The Georgia & Florida railway, which is being built by John Swel tnn Williams of Richmond, J. H. Mlddendorf of Baltimore and others, has completed the first link of its new construction between Valdosta, Ga., and Nashville, Ga.. about 30 miles, and it is expected that it will be ready for operating by September 10. The Georgia & Florida Railway when completed will, as heretofore reported, be a through trunk line from Augusta, Ga., to Madison, Fla., composed of several existing railroads which are being connected by the con struction of comparatively short links, and which altogether will amount to about 90 or 100 miles of actual new track. But the Valdosta Southern Railroad, one of the absorbed lines, running from Valdosta, Ga., to Mad ison, Fla, 29 miles, has been im proved by the reduction of grades and the filling in of trestles. A connec tion will be made between the latter road and the Seaboard Air Line at Madison. Between Nashville and Douglas, Ga., about 38 miles, several cut-offs have been made, and between Douglas and Hazlehurst, Ga., grading has been finished on a cut-off 91a miles long, which will save about nine miles of distance. From the end of this cut-off to Hazlehurst, Ga., 2u tnlies, the new grade is nearly Cbii pleie, and it is expected that before January all the line from Hazlehurst j to Madison will be linked us? ami laid with new track and heavy rail. This section will include 120 miles of main I line and between 20 and 25 miies oi : branches. North of Hazlehurst construction I has also been started, and a 900-foot bridge over the Altamaha river will j be built, beyond which the road will run to Vidalia. Upon the completion j of this latter improvement the com- Jany will bo able toi operate trains from Keysville, Ga., 20 miles from At: g’ista, through to' Madison, Fla. The trunk line will be finally completed by building from Keysville to Au gusta. E. L.

Mr. Neely already has a branch of ; his business in Augusta and transacts a large trade here. In coming to the city he will be taken away from his immense business at Waynesboro, but he will be in a better position to direct all of his affairs.
