A correspondent of the Americus Recorder, writing from Buena Vista, claims that the people of Marion county want to change the terminus of the Buena Vista and EUaville railroad from An- dersonville to Americus. He goes on to say that before tills can be done some changes will have to he made in the present board of directors of the road. He says tills can be easily accomplish ed, but tills writer, who is fully posted on the subject, is of an opposite opinion. To the pres ent board of directors the building of the road is I largely due. and it. will be almost an impossihil- To Date, j jjy j () oust them from their position, Nor do the l.*898 ! people of Marlon county want this change made, 313 | What they do want is railroad connection with JiJjjg I Columbus. Marion county farmers do their trading in Columbus and bring their cotton here, because j they cm buy good** cheaper and on better terras > and get more for their cotton than they can in I Americus. While Americus is nearer and the roads are better, the advantages offered arc so great that the people of Marion clearly demon strate their wish to continue the hitherto pleas ant relations which exist between them and the business men of Columbus by continuing to bring their cotton here and to do their trading in this market.
