Wo ao from oar neighbor, Ike
Timet, that Murray county ia on
Uie apriae. The grand jorjr pre
aontmeata sfcow a clean record of
the county official*, especially the
Ordioory and Clerk. Mr. Char
lie King, Murray’* good young
dark, vaa a eehool mate of one
of the Conun men, and we are
glad to know that bia fellow I
countrymen appreciate hia official
aerrice. The grand jury reeom
mended the building of aeveral
•ew bridge* in the county, and
tt tfwabill* were found by that
body. Murray baa one of !be
flneat court bouses in North
Georgia, in the upper atore of
which i* a Maaonic ball. With
the Aognata dc Chattanooga rail
road, Murray would take a po
aitioo in th* front rank af Geor

Information reache* ua from all
part* of the county that a large
crop of tobacco will ba raised in
this county this coming year.
This report ia encouraging, if tba
farmers of the conutry only give
this branch of agriculture an
boaast and faithfol trial we are
eonfldent tha result will prove
all wa bay# claimed for it. There
te money in the business, and if
our farmers go at it to raise and
aura it successfully, the county
will be better off financially than
for many years in ihe past. No
longer than last week a corres
pondent related the success of a
farmer in Fannin county who sold
his crop, realising 30 cents per
pound for the best grade of to
bacco, which at tha moderate
rata of 600 pound* per acre of
tobaceo would have netted him
the snug profit of $l5O per acre
an hia labor. What branch ol
business approximates in every
degree these startling but un
answerable figoreaf Let the re
sult stand by tha record, and II
tha tabaooo business, properly
conducted, don’t make money,
we’ll pay for the yarn.
TUB AGRICULTURISTS.
I am smartly encouraged to aee
the interest the farmers are tak
ing in tobacco culture. While it
ha* been my object to encourage
Ibe growth of Ibis purely money
crop, I am, by no meane, dispos
ed to dieoourage improvement in
the amount and quality of cereal
prod uol ions, grass, clover, grapes
and many other products which
could be made profitable.
I’hl* being a good grass coun
try there should be an improve
ment in stock generally. I am
daily reminded of the aphorism,
that the shoe-maker’s wife goes
barefooted, and the blacksmith’s
horse unshod, by seeing a man
ride a little bit of mule or a poor
little plug of a horse. Worse
yet, men will sell their horses
and brood mares, and plough an
•s. Every man has heard ol the
race between the deer and tor
toise, and has told bis children.
We must forget that fable. It
does not apply in our case. There
Is a red fox to catch, and there
will be no napping in the chase.
To better enable us to get on
the right tradt we have con
eluded to ask all the farmers,and
all who are interested in the far
mare' saaeess la Gilmer county,
to meet ta a Jbrmgl convention
Hi the court heuse at Ellijay on
Friday the 18th of March, with a
▼taw to orgaoiaieg an Agricult
ural Association. We want
••ary farmer in the county to
Mfcaare and coma. If yon don’t
eultivate bat on# acre and plow
that with a cow | some. We will
do oer t>et to make ft both in
teretting end profitable. Many
oT the lending bob of the county
are mtereated in this organisa
tion and i tbaok them for irTirnl
▼aluabla soggeationa.
For aoaae tine I hare been

should bo directly interested in
the aaecaea of agriculture, solic

THE OUTLOOK FOR THE
A. <* C. ROAD.
The editor of Ihe Oglethorpe
Echo, who attended the first
meeting of the directors of the
Augusta and UhaUaaooga rail
road at Augusta, and who it
seems went there ra'her skepti
cal of the road being built
promptly through to Chattanoc
after giving in detail the ae
; non of that meeting, has the fol
lowing to say concerning it. He
says:
We are free to aflmit that for
some time we have entertained
misgivings and doubts as to the
building of the Augusta h Chat
tanooga, bat since meeting and
conversing more fully with those
who are at the head of the enter
prise and being given a fuller
insight thereto we feel tully as
sured that the road is now a cer
tainty and its early completion
guaranteed. We had talks with
almost every member of the pres
ent board. Tney are men who
cannot he doubted and they
ns every reason to believe
i heir honesty of purpose and fix
ed determination to carry the
project through. Already con
tracts are out for ths grading jl
tbejentire line as well m for a
greater part of the steel rails to
iron it. A representative will
canvass the line for crosstier,
which will be taken in paymeni
of subscription, and every other
class of work is being put in
shape and will ba rapidly pushed.
PRESIDENT EVANS,
• man whom we all know by rep
atation to be one of Georgia’s
purest son*, gave us from his
own lips a full assurance thst he
and the gentleman upon the
gosrd were acting in all good
faith towards tbe people along
the line.
“Your fears,” said be, “that the
road would be built to Lincoln
ton and there stop ar* utterly
unfounded. If we had the least
idea that the road would only go
that far and not on to Ohattanoo
ga, not a man upou the board
would touch it. Why ahould we
want to build a road through a
section already Augnata’a. W
get all the business ol ibat sec
tion anyway and there would be
uo reason for us building a road
to it. Besides, we do not take
into consideration the local busi
ness of the road. We intend it to
be a through and direct route to
the West, and therefore shall ob
serve as near as possible an air
lime. You have also intimated
that we were working secretly.
True we have not made any b!ow
and bluster, but everything ha*
been open and with the purest
of motives. What we done has
been what we believed to be for
the success of <he enterprise—to
build it through to Ohattanoogx
without any unnecessary blow
ing. You inay feel aasured thai
the road will be built through to
it* stated deatiualion as soon as
circumstances will permit, and
not to any one section and stop.
When it is started it will be
completed if uo mishap befalls
us.”
Like assurances were given us
from Mr. Walsh and others of the
slauch men who have the enter
prise in charge. Their assertions
are vouched for by the entire
board, and when we consider
their standing we can but have
implicit coufldence.
IT IS THE PROGRAMME
of the board of directors to go
ahead and build forty or fifty
miles of the road upon their own
personal credit and responsibili
ty without evjpn calling upon the
stockholders for any of their sub
scriptions. the board was cbos
en from men of the best financial
•tending wit| this in view. When
thoy have cs|npleted this much
of the road wpnda will be iaiued
under the petenions of the reso
lutions contained in the above,
and sufficient eapital secured to
finish the road.
It ia their purpose to imtnedi
ately increase the force of grad
ers, followed by the cross-ties
and iron, and to finish up the lor
tjr milts of road within six or
eight moat ha. Then, when tbs-
have been placed, the
will be still more increas
•and, put to work oa both ends oi
the line with an expectation ol
meeting within another eight or
tan months. Already President
Bvaoe has bee* north, so we are
told, and made arrangements to
dispose of the bonds as soon as
they are issued. He has likewise
partially osade coal reefs for fur
nishing iron and rolling stock,
and since a thorough organisa
tion has been perfected, these
contracts will be ot oooe dosed,
together with contract* (or Hi*
* r adtig and cross-lieiog; Ando
from ibeee projects of the direc
tors, there are rumors that
OTHER fiOAD* WART IT.
Tba Illisnoia Central is one .f
the richest railroad corporatinat
to the United Stales, cevering al
most the entire west and north
west. At present Chattanooga is
as near as it comes to the sea
coast or port 00l Ids. It is said
that the corporation has fIOOOOO
-or more of surples. and is
standing ready to lake the Au
gusta A Cuaftanooga in hand and
complete it without a dollar’s aid
from the present subscribers.
Although no propositions of this
kind have as yet been made, the
rumor is not unfounded,and from
what we could gather from mem
bers ol the board of direct on*,
they are looking for some such
move. They do not hesitate to
•ay that capital amply sufficient
to build the road, more of a cer
tainly, besides it will immedi
ately go into combination with
other lines running to Ihe meat
and grain markets of the west,
which will make it af greater
benefit to those along its line.
But we beard many things and
saw many indications that the
ROAD WILL BE BUILT.
Undtr Ihe new organization
and new charter it assumes more
of a business air than we have
accredited it heretolore; we are
more hopeful. The men who
have it in charge are more de
termined and more encouraged.
They talk as if there is oo doubt
that the road will be speedily
built and built entirely through
from Augusta to Chattanooga.
To connect these two cities seems
to be their only aim aud we
cheerfully retract whatever we
may have said heretofore about
its being a local short line.
From what we saw and learned
while in Augusta, we feel nohes
itancy in assuring our readers
who anxiously await its coming
that they do not wait in vain and
will not wait long. That idlest
than a year they will hear the
scream of the whistle and Ihe
rumbling of the cars, glad tidings
to their ears of the coming of an
enhancement of the value ot
their lands, more accessible mar
kets for their produce, and those
couveniencts so much wanted,
and only given by the iron
horse upon his tracks ot steel.
This, it seems to us, ought to
convince the most skeptical that
this is not a wild cat scheme, but
one that will not only be built
bnt will be one of the best pay
ing roads in the South. It is
irue, as this careful writer and
observer temarks, not much talk
has been indulged in, but the
parties who have the enterpriee
in charge have meant business
and now in their hands it is
bound to be a success.
The Student’s Herald of the N.
G. A. 0., after an interregnum
of 18 mouths, has come to lif.
again in a neat and newsy maga
zine form. It is hoped that the
friends of this enterprise of the
young men will meet with that
substantial aid and encourage
ment which its effort deserves
Besides its news items its litera
