and lie Blames the Farmers for ft.
Sakes alive, Mr. Editor, you don’t
know how big l felt when I saw my
name in big letters at the head of my
piece 1 in the Echo some time ago. I felt
■
just like , , a twenty pound , boy looks , i"
his two hundred-pound daddy’s bridles.
Just as soon as mv peepers lit upon them
words, r put it down that mv “ glory ' was
complete; 1 wouldn’t swap places with
nobody’s President, no matter in what
land. I would have tried it again soon¬
er, but thought it good sense they to enjoy
my good feelings as long as would
last, for I might slip up next time.
Well, if I slip I won’t have fur to slip
now.
And besides there lifts been ft good deal
of rumpus Licked up in this naborhood
since mv piece came out, by those nn»
borhood tattlers I told you about, but 1
reckon and have lizard that it lias been
pretty much the same way everywhere
else. At first this whole settlement got
all up on its high horse, and wanted to
wipe the earth up with “Dick,” because
they thought he was talking about them.
They got together at Sunday school the
next Sunday, and 1 tell you some of
them was ra’liy. Then they got to in
(ptiring Irom other sections and they
found out the same was tha ease about
everywhere else, and they decided that
it was meant for somewhere else, and
I’ll bet my last, year’s shoe strings soiiks
where else thought it was meant lor some
other somewhere else and the whole
muss has stopped ceasing. Didn’t the
Shakespeare sav something about
guilty didn’t need to be accused of any
thing? He must have meant that say
iug lor this particular occasion. Folks
will talk and it can’t be hope, and the
more you get alter them about it, the
more they are going to pay. about the
The most talked of thing

mighty screamy—with me. I see where
some of the knowing ones sav the earth
is shaking like a lump of jelly. Sakes;
it that’s the ease I’m going to leave, if 1
can buy a ticket to any other place.
'Taint me that’s severed so bad, but the
ole ’uman keeps mighty uneasy and that
makes me feel uncomfortable. Strange
thing il is that all the wimtncti is severed
and tin' men ain’t. I have talked to a
lots of men on the subject and all ol them
complain about their wives being so ner*
vous that it makes them feel bad. Four
witnmen! I know they must feel pow¬
erfully shaky, and if it wasn’t for their
brave husbands J don’t know what would
become of them—mine ’specially,
But bless the little tins; they’d all
hunkymudora. The other morning when
it turned cold they all gathered around

make a city gal’s eyes water to behold,
and forthwith immediately I forgot till
about ear’Jiquakes too. Then my senses
turned hack and I wished I was under
a shoe tree and a quake would come
along hard enough to shake down a
whole hamper full of the desired articles.
That kind of quake would he sweetern

But my hale of cotton is gone—nobody
knows where. I tell you Mr, Editor, a
fellow does feel like cursing a little when
lie has worked hard a whole year to make
a little cotton, and when he gets it to
town is offered only about eight and a
quarter cents for it, when ho knows he
has spent ten cents worth of time and
trouble to raise it. That’s just how 1
felt for awhile, hut thru I we nt and sot

GEOUGIA RAILROADS.
Fifteen Hundred Milos to be Added to the
Stvto’s Railioad Mileage. Roads Now Be¬
ing CoustraOtod. Roads Projected.
Tlie prc-etit activity in railroad build
imr in Georgia was, perhaps, never before
j equal led in the history of the State. The
; indications are that within the next two
years at least lit teen hundred miles ol
, new road will have been constructed.
Atrnmg the more important roads now
j being built arc the Macon and Coving
• too, which will extend trom Athens via
Macon to some point in Florida; the
! Georgia-Midland, Irom Columbus via
! 1 Griliiu to M» Douowgh ; the Savannah,
Dublin and Western, from Savannah via
j the Dublin Amerirus, to Macon Preston and Jhnningham and Lumpkin, ; and
from Lumpkin via Americns to some
point on the Brunswick division of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad.
Concerning projected roads, the follow*
ingl.ua been gleaned trom the state
press:
BRUNSWICK AND COLUMBUS.
From iho Brunswick Herald: The
people of Columbus and Americas have
felt the heavy hqnd of ILioul, and they
arc making almost superhuman exertions
with (he means at hand to get from un¬
der Americns his oppressive have long rule. since The put people their of
own
hands into their own pockets and built relief. a
road which gives them temporary
But they need to be put into direct con¬
nection with Brunswick, the best seaport
on the south Atlantic coast. Then there
is Columbus; she knows how oppressive long¬
it is to be under Raoul, and she is
ing to have another rout® to the sea¬
board. The charter of the Brunsw ick
and Western calls for the extension of
said improvement to thatcitv. The wel¬
fare of thaL improvement, and the future
aggrandizement of our city, as well as
tlie prosperity of <'oliiinbu>, all are wrap¬
ped up in this extension. Why can it
not be made? Here are Americus, Co¬
lumbus and Brunswick all to he greatly
benefitted by ibis extension. Asalresfdy
