' A bill is to lie introduced in the legis¬ lature to change the line between the counties of Walton, Jackson and Gwin-' nett, so as to include the town of JtigTav ern in the county of Walton, and for oth¬ er purposes. We should think it would pass. Madison held a big railroad meeting 011 last Tuesday, to discuss the building of the road from Athens to Columbus by way of Madison, and $12,400 were subscribed on the spot. The fight for this road seems to be betw-cen Madison and Social Circle, with the odds iri favorof Madison. While they are fighting over the matter, Coving¬ ton must quietly step in and take the cake. Ye Olde Men’s base ball club of Coving¬ ton now has a practice game about three times a week, and it is quite refreshing to hear the juvenile scorer calling ‘ Gen. 80 - and-So, to the bat," and "Judge Century on deck.” But the way the “gray beards” can now make time, on a home run, would astonish even a professional. You should go out and see them play, if you want to enjoy some real fun. The Lawrenceville Herald tells of a re¬ markable incident that happened in Gwin¬ nett county, a few days ago. A young la¬ dy, a Miss Pharr, was at the well drawing water. By some means the rope slipped off the whirl, and in attempting to get it back, the plank broke, and Miss Pharr was precipitated to the bottom of the well, a distance of 40 feet. The alarm was given, and her father went to her assistance as quickly as possibly ; but, before he could do anything to assist her, the plucky and brave young lady had climbed half way to the top of the well. She was then assisted in getting out, and was not hurt by the fall. A correspondent of the Jackson News, who lives on the road from Covington to Jackson, pays the following deserved trib¬ ute to our worthy townsman, Capt. J. P. Loyd, who carries the mail between Cov ingion and Jackson. We reproduce the item, because we heartily endorse it, aud because we know every reader of the Star who knows Capt. Loyd will give it a care¬ ful perusal and a hearty “amen.” The writer says: “If there is a man in all this wide world that enjoys perfect contentment with his station in life.

THE ATHENS RAILROAD. The Road Will be Built from Athens to Some Point on the Georgia Road or to Columbus. The Meeting at Athens on last Monday. A railroad meeting was held in Athens on Monday. It was composed principally of dele¬ gates from Morgan, Oconee and Walton counties, and citizens of Athens. It was qaite a lively meeting, the usual amount of speaking was in¬ dulged in, and a vast daal of eloquence display¬ ed. The meeting was held in the interest of the extension of the Northeastern railroad from Ath ens to Columbus, or at least to some pqint ou the Georgia road. Mr. Pope Barrow, the presi¬ dent of the Northeastern road, was present and made the only real business speech delivered^ the meeting. He spoke for the Richmond and Danville railway company, and what he said might be regarded as “official.” He gave a his tory of the present movement, and stated why the extension of the Northeastern road was to be made to some point on the Georgia railroad or to Columbus. When the Northeastern road was leased to the Richmond and Danville company, the city of Athens owned i,ooo shares of stock in the road. This stock was transferred to the Richmond and Danville company upon the stipu¬ lation that the city of Athens was io be guaran teed a perpetual through rate of freight relative¬ ly equal to that enjoyed by the cities of Atlanta and Augusta, and in addition to this the Rich¬ mond and Danville company was to extend with, in two years the Northeastern road from Lula, its then present junction with the Rich¬ mond and Danville road to Tallulah falls, and to Clayton, Rabun county, by 1886 . The extension has been made to Tallulah falls, but owing to the great expense of building it through that moun tainous section, it has proven a very unprofitable investment. To continue the extension to Clay¬ ton, would be still more expensive, with less hope ' of its ever paying. This being the case, it had been suggested by a merchant of Athens that, instead of extending the Northeastern road from Tallulah falls to Clayton, it be extended from Athens to some point on the Georgia road or to Columbus. This suggestion met with a hearty approval among the people of Athens, as well as from the management of the R chmo.id and Danville company. It had resulted in the pres¬ ent movement, and it now only remained for the city council of Athens to accept this extension of the Northeastern road in lieu of the extension from Tallulah falls to Clayton, to secure its im¬ mediate consummation. The city council of Athens are said to bo al¬ most unanimous in favor of it, while the citizens are generally in favor of it, though they are di¬ vided in opinion and interest as to what point oa ths Georgia road it shoulJ be built to. Mr. Barrow said the road would lie completed n two years Iromihe time the contract was signed by the city council of Athensand the Rich¬ mond and Danville authorities. The whole matter depends upon the action of the city council of Athens, which appears to be highly favorable to the building of this road. Covington was represented Oy Messrs. A. B. Simms, O. S. Porter and 'V. C. Clark, an I t le editor of the Sr.v?. represented the city coun¬ cil. To sum up the ah ii« mstter. the roal is al¬ most certai.i to be built, either to the Georgia road or to Columbus, and wc think to the latter point. The route upon which it will lie built de¬ pends upon future contingcnces. If it is built only to the Georgia road; but, it ntayseek the-.icar est point on that road it it is built through to Columbus, it will seek the most direct route. Madison, Rutledge, Social Circle and Coving¬ ton, are competitors for the road. The one of¬ fering the best route, the most business, and the largest amount of subscription, will lie most like¬ ly to get it. Covington should put herself in position at once to whip the light. She cannot afford to have the road built by Social Circle, or any other route—but must have it come by here at any cost. r-- -.*1 Oxford Commencement. The commencement exercises at Emory col¬ lege have been in progress, at Oxford, since last Friday night. The graduating exercises will take place delivered to-day. and the annual literary address will be this afternoon. The attendance is very large. Railroad Meeting. A meeting of our city council and a number of the citizens of Covington was held in the office of the clerk of the su¬ perior colH on last Saturday afternoon. The meeting was called to order by May¬ or Pace, who explained that the object of the meeting was to consider the matter of sending delegates to the railroad meeting in Athens on Monday, which was to he held in the interest of the road from Ath¬ ens to Columbus. Large delegations of citizens had been appointed from the counties of Jasper, Morgan, Walton and Oconee, who were working for the road to go by way of Madison. Covington ought to be represented iu that meeting, as we were greatly interested in having the road built by wav of our city. On motion the mayor appointed Messrs. 0. S. Porter, W. C. Clark and A. B. Simms, as delegates on the part of our citizens, and J. W. Anderson on the part of the city council. They all left by the fast train Sunday afternoon. An End to Bone Scraping. Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, III., says : “Having received so much benefit from Electric Bitters, I feel it my duty to let suffering human ity know it Have had a running sore on my leg for eight years ; my doctors told me 1 would have to have the bone scraped or leg amputated. I used, instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven boxes Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, and my leg is now sound and well.” Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cents a bottle, and Bucklen’s Arnica Salve at 2 Jc- per box by Brooks & Ivy.

Editors, u a rule, rarely ever agree, and consequently arc continually at loggerheads. — They will take up the same subject and discus, it in their columns, give it a thorough analyi ing, show up all the points, and if you will take their articles and compare them, there will always l>e some point of disagreement. There are, of course, exceptions to *his as well as to other general rules, and wc propose to give an instance where three Georgia editors are unan* iqtously of the same opinion. The editor of the Southern World, publish* ed in Atlanta, says : "I know the proprietors of Bradfield’s Female Regulator, and can vouch for their high standing in this community. I also, from my own knowledge, can testify that it is a great boon to woman, with no superior, and every lady ought to send for and read hook on female diseases which they mail free." The editor of the Millcdgeville Chronicle siys he considers Bradfield’s Female the greatest blessing ever discovered for suffer¬ ing woman; says he knows of six ladies in community who have been cure 1 sound and well by its use, and he would advise every suf¬ fering woman to use it. From the editor of the Gainesville Eagle : “I consider Bradfield’s Female Regulator the best medicine ever compounded and offered to the public for the diseases for which it is recom¬ mended. I am well acquainted with a lady who never had any health until she commenc¬ ed using it. It gave her immediate relief, and from that time until now she has enjoyed the best of health. I can say with hearty good will, “G hI- speed Dr. Bradfield in the sale of his never-failing Female Regulator 1 Send for our book containing valuable infor¬ mation for women.
