It pained us to hear of the death
of Captain John H. Evans, which
took place at his home in Florida, a
few days since. He was born and
spent a portion of his early manhood
in Covington, Ga. He made a brave
and gallant soldier, being a member
of company H. 3rd Ga, Volunteers
and by bis daring courage and sound
military judgment rose from 3rd or
4th corporal to the Captaincy of his
company before he was 23 years of
age. Peace to bis memory and rest j
to his soul.
FROM SOUTH TO WEST AND
BACK A6AIN.
Perhaps the most pleasant cxcur
siou ever indulged in by the press of
Georgia was the recent visit to Macon,
Birmingham, Memphis, Kansas City,
St. Louis, Nashville and Chattanoo
ga. Major W. L. Glessncr, of the
Americus Recorder and Immigrant
Agent of the Central Uuilruud and
Banking Company, concluded that a
visit to the great Northwest would
please the editors und their ladies, and
so npplied to his road for transporta
tion, which request wus immediately
granted, and a train of two new sleep
ers, day coach und bagguge ear was
placed at his dis|>naaJ, with Captain
Thomus Hull, of Macon, as conduc
tor, with experienced engineers, fire
men and porters—all with the com
pliments of the Central, which is do
ing so much for Georgia and the en
tire South. By recent connections a
direet route is now open from Kansas
City to Savannah und New York
which is forty-eight hours shorter than
any other line in existence.
Tuesday night, May 28th, the train
pulled out of Macon beautifully dec
orated with flags and hunting, with
the inscription “Georgia Press Asso
ciation” in lurge letters on both sides
of each sleeper. At Columbus, Ga ,
Road Master Jones and Passenger
Agent Shaw—live railroad men —
joined us and went as far as Birming
ham, where Mr. Frank O’Brien, of
the Age-Herald, took charge of the
excursionists and showed them many
points of interest in and around this
Magic City. Furnaces were visited,
parks and lakes inspected and free
transportation extended over street
car and dummy lines. Birmingham
is the town of towns and is spreading
out iu every direction and has rail
roads leading almost everywhere. If
you erect a manufactory or operate a
furnace a railroad will be run close
enough to accommodate your wants.
The run to Memphis was made over
the Kansas City, Memphis & Bir
mingham railroad, which is an exten
sion of the Kansas City, Fort Scott
& Memphis road. In fact, the route
between Kansas City and New,York
is composed of only two roads, being
the one last named and the Central of
Georgia. A generous welcome was
extended at Memphis. The editors
of the Avalanche, Appeal, Ledger,
and Scimeter, assisted by prominent
citizens and headed by Col. Emett
Woodson, President of the Taxing
District, (Memphis has no Mayor or
Charter), did all in their power to
make the occasion one of joy and
pleasure. Carriages and ears were nt
the disposal of the editors. A boat
ride down the Mississippi river, and a
promenade in the new park on the
Arkansas side, a drive over the city
aud a public reception at the Cham
ber of Commerce was the morning
program. In the afternoon a recep
tion and banquet was given by the
Jockey Club fit their new and elegant
quarters, some four miles from town.
Memphis is now the best inland cot
ton market in the world, having han
dled over 700.000 bales during the
past season. Her people understand
the art of entertaining and her gates
are open to all worthy men and wo
men, no matter from what land or
country they come.
Thursday uight we started on a run
of near 500 miles for Kansas City,
and by light had entered some of the
finest grain and parture lands perhaps
on earth. For miles ami miles, so far
as the eyes could penetrate, was seen
wheat, outs, corn, clover, grass, etc.,
while droves of cattle, hogs, horses,
sheep, etc., were noticed all along the
route. On these fertile prairies is now
the most promising grain crop ever
known in the history of this country,
and yet, we are told that mortgages
and debt have cast their shadows over
many land owners there. At Spring
field we took breakfast and was met
by a military hand. From there to
Kansas City is a lovely country and
everything had a healthy appearance.
At 1 o’clock p. m., Friday, we reach
ed the wonderful and wide-awake
Kansas City, which has a population
of over 200.000 inhabitants, which is
increasing at a rapid rate. Industry
and energy and “a long pull, strong
pull and a pull altogether” by its cit
izens and monied men has brought
this city into favorable prominence
and it has a grand and glorious future
before it. The afternoon was devoted
to sight seeing, theatre going, etc.—
A reception was tendered by the Com
mercial Club in their large and luxu
riant quarters, at night, where good
humor held sway and fraternal fellow
ship ruled the hours. Speeches were
made by the Mayor and other leading
business men, and responded to by
President J. 11. Estill and other mem
bers of the Press Association. Sat
urday morning was spent at Armors
packing houses, on the Kansas side
of the Missouri river, and which es
tablishment has a killing and clean
ing capacity of fifteen hundred beeves
and seven thousand hogs daily. The
buildings cover 30 acres and the stock
yards contain over 600 acres. We
were shown through the entire prem
ises ami given a reception at the stock
exchange. Eight* ten and twelve
story buildings can he seen all along
die business streets, while residences
costing more than half a million dol
lars are found on many of the resi
dence streets. [To be continued in
our next issue.]
