tin e, for the passage of an act, author^
izing Dougherty county to issue bonds
for the sum of $30,000, for the pur
pose of purchasing Tift’s bridge, the
same to be made a free bridge.
In additiou to this requirement it
will he necessary to ratify the actlhn
of the Grand Jury by a-vo'te.of two-
thirds the citizens of tho county.
Judge Collier docs not at this time,
feel fully authorized to order an elec
tion, ns the Board of County Commis
sioners will, in a few days, assume
control of snrli matters, and he pre
fers to leave the matter to them. The
election, however, will be ordered as
soon ns practicable.
The News desires to place itself on
record squarely and fully in favor of
this purchase. Not that we desire an
increase of taxation. We know some
thing of the baleful effects of a bur
densome tax. All such matters were
fully considered by us before we an
nounced ourself In favor of a free
bridge weeks ago. We consider that
free frrnge will enhanro the value of
lauds so materially in East Dougher
ty as to lift a burden in future from
thq property of this side. It will
draw a trade to Albany which she
docs not now receive, on account of
toll. It will retain to Albany, an
amount of business, which under the
present arrangement she would be
bound to lose. And thus tho value
of our city would be increased nt least
pro rata to the amount of taxation
this purchase would Impose.
Wo do not believe that tbe citizens
of Wsst. Dougherty would prove
themselves so solflsh, or so blindod to
their interests as to reject this oppor
tunity to build tip their market town,
and cnknncq tho property of the
county—hcnco we believe th* requi
site two-thirds vote will bo easily at
tained. * . / ••• /

RAILROAD TRANSFERS.
* The B. Ac Ab. Outlook.
Tho Brunswick & Albany Railroad
now bids fair to become a great trunk
line, whether sold to the English
Company or not. Tho bondholders
of the Montgomery and EufaulaRoad
have positively decided to sell their
line to the Louisville Sc Nashville
Company, for the sum of $1,400,000.
This rich corporation propose build
ing from Euiaula to Albany, and
thus connecting direct with tho At
lantic coast. It is reported, also, upon
good authority, that the great Balti
more & Ohio Railroad Company lias
secured a controlling interest iu the
whole Louisville & Nashville Road.
Thus we arrive at the conclusion that
our little B. &. A. is to become the R.
R. of South Georgia, provided wiue
suppers, pomp and flattery are npt
too freely extended by opposition
lines. Wben this is accomplished it
will be a glorious day for Albany
.nd Southwest Georgia.
Some Ide* of the Work Done br the Knight
or Honor.
Few people outside of the order of
Knights of Sonor have an adequate
idea of the amount of good dispens
ed by them. A circular just received
in Albany from the Supreme Lodge
furnishes the death rate from last
Jnly, including the unprecedented
mortality of the yellow fever epidem
ic of tho summer and fall of 1878.—
The total number of deaths of mem
bers of the order during five months,
July aud November last inclusive,
was 336, of which 193 wero from vc'-
low fever, requiring $670,000 to meet
the calls upon the widows ami or
phan's benefit fund. Added to the
payment of death benefits, about $15,-
000 was contributed by the order vol
untarily for the relief of tho living
who were iu want and suffering by
reason of the epidemic. From the
1st of October last to the 10th of this
month $679,003 have been issued for
tho death fund. Thus, with
as follows:

OUE LEESBURG LEITEE.
Leesburg, Apbil 2Stb, 1879.
Tom Moore, in speaking of a cer
tain lady whose teeth were defective
said:
Perhaps it is not generally knawn, but
it is nevertheless a tact, that ia tba Nation,
al Cemetery at Andersonvillo are tbe
graves of 122 Confederate aoldiers. These
graves lie apart from those of the Federal
soldiers, and are in a sadly neglected con
dition. Tbe woodeu bead-boards are il
legible. and tunny fallen down; the
monads are washed, and iusorne places
caved in; covered with weeds, and alto-
gather show sadly the want of attention
interred therein. Tbe ladies of tbe Me
morial Association of Amcrlcus have re
cently been agitating tbe question of re
moving tbe bones of these Coniederato
dead and interring them in the cemetery
ofaomeoneof tbe neighboring cities—
perhaps Macon. Tbe Association arkad
us to call the attention of tbe ladles of our
borne Association to the matter and ask
tbeir consideration of it. Tbe plan pro
posed is hr the Memorial Association or
Americas, Thomasvi le, Macon and Al
bany to unite in tbe expense and work ot
removing the dead, and providing for
■hem a suitable resting place income spot
where annual tributes ot lore and tears
■nay be paid to them. Tbo object is a
most worthy one. Tbe cost would becom-
pantlvely small, and it would be a labor
of love that would bear its owu reward.
W* trust onr Association will give tbo
mailer tbeir atteuiion ; and would suggest
that a committee be* appointed to couler
with tbe Association of Americus. of which
Miss Mary C. Cranberry is Secretary.
