—A correspondent to the Atlanta Consti

sav about our Railroad:— •*Our people are
blowing over another railroad to Jefferson,
and one to Monroe via Jug Tavern. The
road to Jefferson will doubtless be built and
equipped with the rolling stock of the
Gainesville and Dahlonega railroad, as it
will be a marrow gauge. The road to Mon
roe will tap the Georgia railroad at Social
Circle/’
The action of the late republican state
convention in declaring that the colored
republicans of this State by reason of their
great majority were entitled to a share of the
offices ami honors of the party, has caused a
considerable commotion amongst the white
members of that party. They called a meet
ing and expresed their dissatisfaction openly.
They propose to continue to rule the roast and
t Slink it an impertinence upon the part of their
colored brethereu to ask for a share of the
r.poil.
The fiel ermcn of New England are about
o get the United States into trouble with
Great Britain. Under the treaty of Wash
ington bet wen this Government and Great
.Britain, American fishermen have th-J right
to lish in Canadian waters, recently while en
gaged in their legitimate occupation thev we e
ordered to desist, and when they refused. the\
were driven off and their fishing tackle injured.
They claim damages, the matter was present
ed to the British Government, and it has
refused to pay the amount claimed. Our
wiseacres at Washington are pondering the
next step to be taken in the matter.
—The other day the House of Represen
tatives had under consideration the revision
oi the revenue law*, during the debate some
Radical from the North read a newspaper
article reflecting in severest terms upon the
citizens of the ninth Georgia Congressional
district, accusing them of the whole catogorv
of dimes. As Mr. Speer the member from
our district was absent Gen. Phil Cook of
Georgia defended and hurled back into the
teeth oi* the vile calumniator his slanderous
charges. It is said that his speech silenced his
adversary and was received with rounds of
applause. We tender our thanks to the gal
lant General the people of the ninth will not
forget his manly defense in their cause.
’ Uow it was possible for our Emory to
to be absent when the revision of the reve
nue laws was up before the House we cannot
understand. It will be remembered that this
was one of his strong points in the late cam
paign, one that he was going to urue with
all the fervor .f his young and ardent spirit.
Besides lie lost an excellent opportunity to
defend his constituents from false charges
and get in his great speech about Tallulah.
Nachoochee, Tocoa and the Savannah
river. He might have- then and there made
as great a reputation as Ben Hill did in the
Blaine affair.
Look Cut for the Engine when the Whistle
Blows.
Mr. Editor: —lf the stock comes in as
briskly for a few more days as it has done
in the past week or two, we shall soon be
ready to break dirt oil our end of the Rail
road.
We are glad to hear that those living along
the line, arc becoming interested.
Already we are begining to hear them call
ing out like cab drivers. “ Tins way ! Mr.
Engineer ! this w ay !'*
True. I have heard of one man that did
not want any Railroad; lie seems to be
afraid someone will find out where he lives,
lie ought to go West where they haul wood
in a sled, go to mill on their own backs and
call at the Post Office once a month.
But on the other hand, I hear of a number
who are not only willing to give the right of
way, hut are willing to convert a portion of
ttieir laud into stock to carry tho road through
their places.
If all who live along the line, will contrib
ute as much as one acres width on each side
all the way through, we will have abundant
means to construct our portion of the bed.
Gentlemen, you can take that amount of
stock and never miss it from the hinds von
now hold, and it will be the best investment
you have ever made. If you have never en
tered any calculations on this proposition,
try them now. Instead of holding your
lands as now, at $5.00 an acre, and not often
finding purchasers even at that price, when
the Railroad is built, you will find purchasers
in numbers at-$15.00 and $20.00 and even
$30.00 per acre. We should never hesitate
at aucii investments as these. Fruit culture
alone, with proper transportation, would
offer one of the greatest enterprises for old
Jackson. The Northern nurseries are mak
ing colossal fortunes for their owners under
all the disadvantages of their rigorous cli
mate. For that business, there is not a better
spot on the Western Continent, as to soil
and climate, than can be found in our coun
ty for the greatest variety of the best pro
ductions of garden and orchard. We ask
for no contributions that will not restore*
fourfold. We want to hear promptly from
all those who live along the different 10 res.
Many of them have here a splendid chni.ee to
make a fortune without going to California,
the Black Hills, or even to White county.
As soon as the road is located, little villa
ges will spring up along the line, and some
one will realize large amount for village lots
and small farms for gardens and orchards.
1 suggest these firings especially to those
who should be interesed in securing the loca.
tion through their places: but it is worth
much to any man to even live near a railroad
for it opens so many small channels through
which lie may increase Ids income.
Yet as we said, in former articles, every
man in the county is interested, and every
one will be greatly benefited. So do not let.
any ho' 1 back, because they do not live on
any rout,; proposed for the road.
[migrants will soon, after the road is open
ed, he limiting lands in every part of the
county. We do not ask any of you to give
anything, only to take stock and help us to
realize tho grand results which must flow
from the completion of this enterprise. You
cannot make a mistake here friends, unless
you neglect to work with us and thereby
iefeut our efforts. That indeed, would he a
grand mistake.
Do not fail to seize this chance for im
proving your condition. There is a fair
prospect that even the stock will pay, and
pay handsome dividens. Others are sub
scribing freely, so come with us. all of you
and come promptly. John W. Glenn.
Timely Caution.
Genuine Hop Bitters arc put up in square
paneled, amber-colored bottles with white
label on ono side printed in black letters,
and green hop cluster, and on the other side
yellow paper with red letters; revenue stamp
over the cork. This is the only form in which
genuine Hop Bitters are put up, and the sole
right to make, sell and use them is granted
to the Hop Bitters MTg Cos., of Rochester
N. Y.. and Toronto, Orrt., by patents, copy
right and trade mark. All others put up in
any other way or by any one else, claiming
to be like it or pretending to contain hops,
by whatever names they may be called, are
bogus and unfit for use, and only put up to
sell and cheat the people on the credit and
popularity of Hop Bitters.
A Farmer.
We are not given to praising men under
all circumstances, but propose to break our
custom in the present instance. After taking
in the railroad meeting at Hosch’s store last
bat ure ay week and an excellent dinner, we in
company with several others took a look at
a portion of the farm of Mr. John Hosoh.
Alter looking ut his wheat and oats and
the manner in which ho has prepared his
cotton and corn land, it was the unanimous
judgement of the crowd, that he was ahead
of any of the farmers of Jackson county.
We know of none more progressive or suc
cessful than he has been. lie has wheat that
he expects to make over thirty bushels to the
acre, oats in the same propotion, all of his
lands are in a high state of cultivation show
ing that Jio has not only grasped the key to
true success for Georgia farmers, hut is putting
it in daily use. Such men are valuable to a
country, and we wish we had more of them.
We advise all who say that they cannot
make fanning pay, to make a visit to Mr.
Hosch’s farm, and learn how lie has brought
his land to a high state of cultivation, and at
the same time makes money.
Fine Work.
During the last two weeks Mr. A. R. Rob
ertson of Athens lias been putting up a con
siderable amount of marble work in this
county. \\ e notice a handsome new monu
ment over in Woodbine Cemetery over the
grave of Mr. k. T. Carithers, the workman
ship and material are first class and the de
sign is in fine taste, the body of the shaft is
of beautiful marble' delicately veined, the
base is of Georgia granite making an excel
lent and handsome contrast. We also no
ticed one small cradle tomb that was a hand
some one its kind. Upon the same trip he
placed a handsome box tomb over the grave
of Mrs. Shockley the late wife of Mr. Neal
Shockley. M e are pleased to see that our
people arc patronizing this gentleman. It
shows that he is not only a first class work
man but that he works at prices that are
reasonable. Parties desiring such work will
find that they can lie suited not only in price
hut also in quality, at prices that are below
either Augusta or Atlanta.
