Learn what is true, in orderto do what

right to patronize him.

Well* llrjinx l f»
Tuesday we hoard numerous reports from
parties from different parts of the county
of their wells drying up. This is an ex¬
ceedingly dry spell and if rain does not
come shortly we may not only expect wells
but flyers, creeks and springs to cease to
flow.

Good Shooting.'
In a five hour's hunt one day last week.
Dr. George Little, of Antioch, killed forty
five birds, a rabbit and a crow and feather¬

Whether all the birds were grown or not
we did notask, but be that as it may,there
are but few who can bent this record.

Mr. A. G. Bright well, of Maxeys, is
working up a move to build and organize
a Methodist church a' that place, and has
every hope of success. It may bo that it
will lalfe the name of Atkinson’s, an old
church near by, which has almost died out.
Maxeys certainly should have n house of

It is rumored that the contract for sur¬

duly signed up on Saturday last, and that
the surveying corps will be along in a week
or ten days. The directors seem moro

work is in the shape of mere rumors.

THE CONTRACT FOR THE GRAD¬
ING OF THE A. & C. R. It. LET.
The Surveyors Start Out Monday Morning to
be Closely Followed by the Contractors,
The Line to bo Pushed Through to Gaineo
ville.
The following flora the Augusta Chroui
cle of Saturday morning last will be glad¬
some news to those living along the pro¬
posed line of the bug talked of but much
doubted Augusta & Chattanooga railroad:
“The Board of Directors held two meet¬
ings yesterday to consider a number of con¬
tracts for the grading of the Augusta and
Chattanooga railroad. At the afternoon
session the contract for grading the entire
road was awarded to \V. B. Lowe & Co.,
the grading of the first hundred miles to go
into operation immediately. Mr Alvin
“Mr. J. T. Stone, assisted by
Ethridge and Win. Heaves, will start the
survey of the line from Augusta to Gaines
vjjle on Monday, and will be followed close¬
ly by the.contractors, who will push their
work forward us rapidly as possible. readers. This The
is indeed good news to and our long-looked
contract is awarded, the
for connection with Augusta’s rightful al¬
lies is now in sight.
General Evans was visited at his resi¬
dence and asked about the contract.
“Yes,” said the General, “we closed the
contract with Lowe & Co., for the grading
of the entire line. The work «n the line
from Augusta to Gainesville will be com¬
menced immediately after the engineers
fix the route.”
Ami now can all Doubting Thomases
cease their doublings. We’ll admit we
have had serious fears of the building of
the A. & C. ill the near future, though we
felt satisfied that it would at some time be
constructed. We have too often written
of the benefits and convenience to be de¬
rived from this road to those along its route
to repeat them. Though I bo above news
from the Chronicle is too concise to Vie com¬
plete, yet it is enough to let us know that
work will be begun at an early day, in all
probability not later than the 15th inst.,
and. pushed rapidly through. At the lata
day rate of building railroads wo may con¬
fidently expect the gntd»rs to be through
Oglethorpe in Ihree or four months. As
will be seen the surveying party started
out Monday moning last, and the entire
line to Gainesville will, in all probability,
be located before the end of this month.
The subscriptions made in this county
were upon conditions before mentioned,
and there is no doubting but tho line will
be located as indicated, yet the people of
the Glade and Sandy Cross neighborhoods
will still contend for it to come neur these
places. Just where it is most likely to be
located no one can tell, but come where it
may through the lower part of the county,
it will open up a flue section of country.
Now that it is a certainty in lhe near fu¬
ture tho project, becomes more interesting,
and we will gladly welcwmo the surveyors,
the gradets, the builders and ubove uli
things the trains.

Owing partly to the fact that there was
some misunderstand tis to tho day of the
election, many thinking it was on Wednes¬
day, and partly to the fact that there was
no opposition to Dr. Carlton, there was al¬
most no vote east in the county, the polls
being opened only at four precincts which
voted as follows: Lexington, 21; Craw¬
ford, 41; Antioch, 27; Simston, 15—total
104, all for Carlton.

Mr.L. M. Johnson has placed upon our
table for inspection nod trial, a pair of tho
double-edged, rcversiUe scissors for which
he holds the right of this county, and wo
unhesitatingly pronounce them the best
thiflg of the kind we have overseen. Be¬
sides being two pair of scissors in one, a
spring is so arranged in them us to press
the edges evenly together, making them
cut from one eud to the other without lbe
pressure necessary with the common scis¬
sors. Their price is in the range of every
housewife; they need only to lie seen to be
appreciated, and Mr. J. will be glad to
show them.
