Northeastern Depot any one would
be convinced' that this ro\d is doing
a paying-business. All trains homing
this way are loaded down with freight,
and the drays are kept busy from
morning till night hauling goods to
the different houses in the city. And
even while this is so, the depot-, ware
house and the platforms adjacent
thereto are crowded with merchan
dise of every discription. Let the
good work go on until every nook
and corner in Athens is filled with
bread and meat sufficient to supply
all Northeast Georgia, and then let
the merchanti patronize their home

where they can buy the most for the
