The day is past, and the idea is fully
exploded, that a railroad must only’ bi
built to a town and stop t here, to benefit
the town ; and that, if it goes bi-yotid,
the road will injure tire town, This is a
dead issue, so to speak. If a railroad,
built to a town on the south side, will
help the town, won’t it help it just as
touch if it is extended beyond it on the
north side? Of course it will.

The Covington §nd Macon
Railroad Extension.
The .extension of the Covington and
Macon railroad to this place, is now the
absorbing theme with our people. Tire
interest is growing every day, and the
prospects for its ettily completion to Cov¬
ington are very brightand flattering.
It is known to most of the readers of the
Star, that a correspondence between
the editor of this paper and Major J. C.
Key, of Monticello, who is one of the
directors of the C. & M. Company, has
been going on for the past two weeks, in
reference to the extension of the line to
Covington. This correspondence resul¬
ted in an invitation to Major Key and
Capt. E. C. Machen, the energetic con¬
tractor of the road, to visit our city on
Tuesday last, and confer with our peo*
pie on the subject, .
The invitation was aoeepted, and Ma¬
jor Key arrived by the fust train, Tues¬
day morning, but Capt. Machen, being
delayed in Macon, did not arrive until
Wednesday,
When Major Key signified their ac¬
ceptance of the invitation to visit onr
city, a public meeting of our citizens was
called at the court house, to take action
in reference to their reception and en¬
tertainment. The meetiugwas presided
oyer by our worthy mayor, Dr. J. J.
Hearing, and the object being fully ex¬
plained, upon motion the hospitality and
freedom of our city was unanimously
tendered them. A committee of recep¬
tion, composed of the following gentle¬
men, to-wit: l>r. J. J. .Dearing. w. c.
Clark, J. W. Anderson* I* L, Middle
brook, D. A. Thompson, C. C. Brooks
and Dr. J, S, Carroll, wus appointed to
meet Messrs. Machen Sind Key at the de¬
pot, and escort them to the Cmse house,
where arrangements were made for their
entertainment, wul to represent our
city in a business talk or conference with
them.
The committee, headjffl by the they mayor, met
repaired to the depot, where
Major Key, and conducted him to the
hotel. Ciqit. Machen being detained in
Macon, did not arrive until Wednesday
morinn r*’ when the committee were
again 011 hand to receive him.
On Wednesday afternoon the commit¬
tee held a busjneaj conference with the
gentlemen, at the hotel, which was very
pleasant and satisfactory in every par¬
ticular. The traditional “tliomas hawk,”
which has so long been supposed to be
swinging ominously iu the air so m.ef
where between the people of Covington
and the C. & M. authorities, was forever
buried, its funeral pyre formally crema¬
ted, and that friendship and good feel¬
ing, which are so necessary fot the suc¬
cess of the extension of the road to our
city’, was satisfactorily re-established.—
Ail differences, therefore, which may
have heretofore existed between us,
were forgotten, and now tire way is
once more clear and propitious for the
early consummation of this much cher¬
ished but long deferred enterprise. An
early survey of the route is to 1 -e made,
when the line will be located from its
present terminus to Covington.
Capt. Machen and Major Key botli ex¬
pressed themselves as being not only
surprised, but greatly pleased with the
warm and cordial reception given them
by our people, and of the manifest gen¬
eral desire for the extension of the C. &
M. road to Covington. They seemed to
fully appreciate the situation here, and
expressed themselves as more than grat¬
ified at the encouraging outlook for the
early completion of the road to this city.
They returned homo smiling and ap¬
parently happy and well salisfied with
the result of their visit to Covington, and
promising that we should bear from
them again very soon.
The part for the people of Covington
and Newton county to do in the matter
is to give the right of way through the
county, a site for the depot at this place,
and raise a subscription to the capital
stock of $25,000 to be paid when the
road is completed to this point This is
the whole business in a nut shell.
The terms proposed are as reasonable
and fair as we could well expect. It
now remains for us to do our part, and
the road will ho completed by Christ
mas.
The extension of the road ter Coving¬
ton has now become a real necessity.—
Our neighboring sistei towns are striving
to get all the railroads they possibly can,
and if we expect to keep pace with them
in the march of progress, we must do
the same tiling. Here, then, ia a chance
for us te get this extension through our
county, to Covington, which is the mar¬
ket and “county town" of every citizen
and property owner of the connty, and
if we do not get it, it will be otir own
fault, This is the day of a multiplicity
of railroads, and the town that has but
G ne railroad now, is 8 slower town than
one was a few years ago that did not
have OJiV- The country in ,i«osrve.-tt&ngk
and we ,cannot afford 10 he left 14 the
rear of the grand march.
But there is no need of further argu¬
ment to oonvince our people of the ne¬
cessity of completing the extension of
this road through our county to Coving¬
ton. All mast now understand and ap¬
preciate the many advantages it will af¬
ford us in getting other enterprises
started up in this city. Gur duty is
plain. tVe must comply with the terms
proposed, (ir we cannot get the road
completed to Covington.
The road bed is already graded to
within about 13 miles of C.oyitjgton, and
the iron will be laid down upon that
part of the line within the next few
months. This \yill leave bet a short gap
through our county unfinished. A line
is also to be built by the same company
from a point a few miles this side qf
Monticello to Griffin. The money is al¬
ready in hand, so y. e arg in fenced, to
build theGriftitt branch. This makes it
all the more necessary for us to secure
the extension of the road to Govingtoj)
before it is again diverted from Eudora
to another point. Such a diversion
would be fatal to the prosperity of Cov¬
ington, aud exceedingly damaging to the
properly vak.es of oar whole county.
It is well for the people of Covington,
as well as every property owner in our
countv, to think of these things, and
then help to secure the extension of the
road to Covington before it is too late,

Some of our friends in this section are so
bitterly opposed to tine registration law that
they will forfeit their right to vote rather than
to register. This is all wrong. Because the
law is a bail one is no reason why everyone
should not register. Everyone should register,
and then they can vote to have the law repeal.
