Not including sales of cotton, which amounts to several mllllcas, the aggregate sales have been $5,468,746. This is a very large amount, but u Is not a flatl*ilL*g showing In comparison with tbe previous years.

The Newnan Herald ia much exer cised over the contemplated railroad from this city, forming a direct connec tion with Atlanta. Of coarse no one can complain that Newnan should un dertake to head elf this movement, but the very reasons given why they shoal do this argues the necessity for oar people taking hold of the enter prise in earnest. The Herald says: “That ColumboB will have in time a connection with Atlanta, is one of the things that may be written down as among the 1 nevitablea. Bnt for the de pressing influence, which the railroad commission has had upon railroad building in the 8tate, this work would have been already began. It is one thing to Bee a dan ger, and another thing to go to work and avoid it. When this com. pany shall have formed their planB and are at work, it will be too late for the Atlanta and West Point road and the people of this section to stop it. It will not do to say they will never be able ro raise the money to bniid It and qui etly told oar hands. Their line will be a part of a great trunk line, penetrat ing a magnificent section of country, and northern capital In abundance will come to their aid. Bat how can the Atlanta and West Point road and the citizens of Newnan save themselves from this threatening danger? By building a broad gauge road from Newnan to Greenville If this iB done the gauge from Columbus to Greenville, which can be easily done, will be widened, and the line cow projected will not be built. We desire the prosperity oi our city and section, and we believe that there is real cause for alarm. When ever this Georgia Midland road is begun there will be a deoline of Atlan ta and West Point stock sufficient to build this connecting link many times over. The part of wisdom is to “take time by the forelock ” With this road from Newnan to Greenville accom plished the situation is ours, and all these interests protected for at least many years. The time for action has come” The above from the Herald is by the way of oomments on an article which recently appeared in the Ekqdirkr- Sus and a desire to arouse the people oi Newnan to a sense of the situation. There Is no desire upon the part of the managers of the Georgia Midland to shat off Newnan from any advance ment, but the road from here to At lanta has become imperative to the success of this city, aud the people are much in their own light if they fail to 869 it.

It states from what it considered the most reliable sources that the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia system and the Nashville and ^Chattanooga railroad are skirmishing for a war equally as bitter as the one which was settled a few weeks ago. A disagreement has arisen and a charge of bad faith is made by both of the sys tems. It comes from reliable sources that the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia offered a cui of $7 on tickets Friday which was met, and by to-day or Monday the war will wax warm, Wh.c. the Nprlas Open*.

Many persons may not be aware that glass can be cut under water, with greatest ease, to almost any shape, by simply usi ig a pair of shears or strong scissors. Ia order to insure success, two points must be attended to—first, and most important, the glass must be kept qaite level in the water while ths sciaso;B are applied; and, secondly, to avoid risk, it is b'vlor to begin the cut ting by taking off small pieces at the corners aad along the edges, and f<- re duce the shape gradually lo that re quired, for if any attempt is made to cut tue glass to the shape, as we would cut a piece of cardboard, it will be Lnost likely to break just where it is not wanted. Some kinds of glass cut raach better than others; the softer glass Is ihe best for this purpose. The scissors need not depend on the stive of the edge presented to the glass. When ihe operation goes on well the glass breaks away from the scissors in small pieces in a straight line with the blades. This method of cutting glass has often been of service, when a diamond has not been at hand, for catting ovals and segments, and though the edges are not aB smooth as might be desired for some purposes, it will answer iu many oases. The two bin's given above, it s rictly followed, will always insure success.
