— W e have nothing special upon the Rail
road subject tliis week that is not contained
the article of Prof. J. AY .Glenn. Our people
are in good spirits. The meeting of the
board of directors was harmanious and agreea
ble. All agree now that the location <d' the
route is the next important step. We lack
about four thousand dollars of having enough
stock, but we think that as the prospects for
the road increases this amount will be made
up. Daily the matter grows into prominence,
.and is being moie seriously considered by
our people,
News from The Railroad.
DI HECTORS READY TO GO TO WORK.
Mr. Editor:— Our information from the
Jefferson & Gainesville Railroad is most en
couraging.
We have assurances that the subscription
at the other end of the line is already secured.
In this county so much of the stock lias
been taken that the directors feel fully au
thorized to commence the work.
We hear that their prompt action is caus
ing some, who would take stock, to hesitate
in giving 11s their names and subscriptions.
It is said, that they fear large assessments
will be called in immediately; and as it is
ditlicult to command cash at this season of
the year, they think they may not be able to
meet the obligation promptly : To all such
I say. dismiss these fears immediately.
There is not the least probability that any
heavy draft will be made on the subscription
before stockholders will have ample time to
provide the means of payment.
It is proposed now, that only about one
or one and a half per cent shall he called in
ut the present, for the purpose of surveying
the routes and locating the line. We have
the instruments already, and no heavy tax
will be needed till fall: and even then,
no large proportion of the subscriptions
will be required.
The stock will be needed only as the work
progresses, which may extend through many
months after the first dirt has been moved.
So friends do not hesitate any longer. It is
now more than probable than the road will
be built and will he completed a3 soon as
practicable.
Come forward promptly and subscribe lib
erally. that we may have the road iu good
running order before tiie fall of 1881.
The more abundant the means, the more
rapidly will the work be completed. The
directors will push forward with all possible
speed.
The question of a branch to Jug Tavern
is left open for future consideration.
It is fully decided by the directory to be
gin work on the main trunk, as soon as en
gineers can be procured. It is full time
then, that those living along the proposed
routes (and several lines are discussed) make
their subscriptions and hand in their propo
sitions to secure the location near their
houses.
Unless such proprietors bestir themselves,
they will lose opportunities of making large
gains and the chance may never come to
them again.
I presume that the directors will consent
to receive conditional propositions above
certain amounts.
As said.before, we mean to build the road
and we mean to make old Jackson county
one of the most desirable in the State.
Fellow citizens, we appeal to your pride
and your love of home.
Come, put j’ourselves in the front ranks
again.
As you took an advanced position in the
storms of war and led other sections in
promptness and numbers so prove yourselves
leaders in the arts of peace.
John W. Glenn.
Timely Caution.
Genuine Hop Bitters are put up in square
paneled, amber-colored bottles with white
label on one 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 i3 granted
to the Hop Bitters MT’g Cos., of Rochester
N. \., and Toronto, Ont., 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.

The Shot Gun.
On last Tuesday evening the shooting of
W. F. Hunter by S. M. Starks disturbed the
usual quite of our little village : The cause
of the shooting was as follows : Starks had
been on a spree for over a week and his
mind was in a terrible condition, when in this
fix some of our boys are disposed to tcaze
him and at this particular time someone sug
gested to him that he had better get a little
ice to cool his head then it was suggested to
put it down his back. Bill Hunter proposing
to get the ice and put it down his back if
John Ross would hold him, this they did
and as saw that Starks was mad they
ran oil so as to get out of his way. Starks
started for his shot gun which was in the
Venable building after he went inside some
body on the outside locked him in, he then
tried to break the door down seeing that he
would accomplish his purpose the door was
unlocked he came out with a shot gun in his
hands, seeing Bill Hunter about halfway bc
twen where he was standing and Simpkin’s cor
ner lie leveled the shotgun at him and fired the
the shot striking Hunter on his right arm
and thigh, the shot penetrated about one inch
and while not dangerous serious results
might possibly arise from the wounds. The
serious turn of the affair is regretted by all
who had a hand in it the boys intended noth
ing but innocent fun and were both partial
larly friendly to Starks while we have no
idea Starks would have thought of shooting
either of them had he been sober. Starks is
under arrest and will undergo judicial inves
tigation.
Tke Dublin Gazette tells of a most brutal
act committed by one llenr}’ Rickerson, of
Laurens county, a few days since. He was
engaged in plowing, and, becoming enraged
with the animal, he tied his horse up to a
tree and began belaboring it unmercifully.
'Fhe horse, in running around the tree to
avoid the blows, pulled so hard upon the
hit, that its under jaw on both sides was bro
ken. The Gazette says : “ When he was led
through town it was an ugly sight to behold.
The jaw was hanging down, and the tongue
lolled out and bleeding profusety. Dr. Har
ris splintered it as well as could be done,
and the horse now only lives by sucking
meal and water through his teeth.”
