The writer was upon the line !ns! Friday, and saw the dirt mo, in ,r Messr®. Blaekstoek and Gould are getting right down to work in dea l earnest. and soea! , cheerfully and confidently of the prospect. I They leave cleared the right of way through j a heavily timbered woods for two miles, ap- j proaehing near Mrs. Simmons’ house, above the Hemphill place, and they had then nearly a half mile graded, and were also engaged putting np shanties to accommodate more hands. The present force at work numbers some thirty-odd, which they say will soon be increased largely. In addition to the work at this point, Mr. Simmons was to commence -the first ot this week, with fifteen or twenty hands, clearing the right of way from the Hemphill place down towards Jefferson two miles, along by Mrs. Gilbert's, and in a short while the grading will begin along there, as Mr. S. informs us. lie lias had experience, an i seems to mean business, just like that old veteran, Neal Blaekstoek. On the upper end of the road, in Ilall coun ty, Mooney and Turnlin are tumbling the trees and dirt, and John Alexander, a nephew of the great railroad builder in his da}*, the late Col. Tom Alexander, has taken hold of the heaviest section of grading on the road, about Holly Springs, and is putting in some licks already with a considerable force. Col. Sage and his locating corps have to move about from one part of the line to the other, laying o(T work for the various forces at work at these different points. Mr. Black stock says as soon as the line can be located this side of the river, lie will put some forces to work down near Jefferson. All this makes it look like business, and it is certain the managers don’t mean ‘‘no foolin’ round” and child’s play, but to put the work through just as fast as it can tie done. We cannot afford to stand still if we would. As Joe Brown says, the world moves, and we propose to move with it. TANARUS! e elections are over, except for countv officers, and I wish that was. too. Now, let us in Jackson take hold of this enterprise in cold dead earnest and pull together harmoni ously, build this railroad, have a market, do velop our wonderfully productive country, and convince the skeptical that it not only will be built, but will be a successful and pay ing investment. Don’t let’s have any more hesitations and caviling as to whether tiie subscription of stock shall be paid up as it is calioil for, but let even' man and woman who has agreed to help pay for the road come for ward and discharge the honest obligation which rests upon all, and pay up tho assess ments. These men who are at work must be paid up monthly, and we who have subscribed stock are bound to pay it. The more promptly we pay in the installments the earlier the road will be completed, and all will reap the benefits. There are those who have not yet taken stock in this grand enterprise for the benefit of both the present and rising generation, and who are able to do so without much, if .my, Sacrifice. It does seem that all such ought to help some, both for their own good and the general benefit <>f the country. There is no telling the benefits ar.d profit there is to this country m the consummation of this enter prise. We need all the help we can get, and if) ;s ’ oped that the public spirit, good practi cal sense and desire for advancement and prosperity in our county, will prompt every one to do all in their power to hasten along the work and secure ti e road. Forward, men ! along the whole line. The world moves, and we must too. W. C. H. —O' ♦ • 1 he. Stock Law. Not long since Judge I’e.l run a short no lice in the News in regard to the stock law. Wc are satisfied, from the inquiries that have been made, that a large portion of the citi zens of the county do not understand the pro cess of putting the stock law into force. Tins Act making it optionary with the vari ous counties of the State as to whether they would adopt the no fence idea or not, was passed several years ago. In order t<> make the Act operative, it >s necessary that certain requirements should be first complied with, 'iiiis notice, as published, was a part of the regular proceedings. The next step will be an election, to be held on the hr>t, Monday in July of next year, when the question of • Fence” or “No Fence” will bo submitted to the legal voters of the county. W e give you this notice in time, so that yon can be discussing the matter with your friends and neighbors. If you are interested in the maher. you had better commence to work for your side. Remember, that the elec tion must come otf at that time, and you may be outvoted if you get imbtlereut upon the subject I lie News is open for a sensible discussion of the subject.

Woiihen. who was seriously stabbed a short time since by the radian Gibson, in Macon, has been forced from its legitimate position, and lias been pressed down three inches to the front by a mass of dead blood l'liis is very strange, but. according to the Albany A T eic° M it >s nevertheless true. CIEKIESttSA xmws. Four persons who ?. ere confined inClarkes \ die jal, under sentence- of the Superior 1 or,rr. made their oseape from durance vile as! week. The Cuthbert Male Institute was burned on Tuesday last, evidently by ineediaries. The building belonged to the Agricultural Col lege, and was insured for $2,000. The Butler Herald reports that a few days ago a very large snake was found in a cot ton field nor.r the residence of Mr. C. Mil irons, in Taylor county, which had fed on co*:on until it was almost impossible for the reptii to move itself upon tlieground. "This'.*' says that paper. ** is the first instant e in which we have ever known snakes to eat cotton in such quantities.” The Albany News relates a horrifying cir cumstance, which occurred over the river near that city last Wednesday. A little baby of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Cooper, residing in East Albany, was sitting alone on the bottom doorstep, when it wus atlackec 1 by a large and ravenous hog. The rapacious beast seized the child b} - one of itff hands and dragged it over the yard, attempting the w hile to devour it. The little innocent’s hand was fearfully mangled and eliewd up before its great peril was discovered and the babe rescued by its mother. It will he crippled for !ile. The News hopes that the villainous ’■cast will he killed before it realiy devours somebody's child. Albany News: “ The Augusta Evenin'/ News calls attention to the value of pine straw, and says it has only, been a vear or two since pine straw first became an article of export in the Wilmington market, and now we learn it is impossible to supply the de mand r or it. Tt is shipped North, where it undergoes certain preparations, and is then used for stuflling mattresses, in the place o' oakum, and for other purposes, besides yield ing a kind of oil in the first process to which it is subjected. There is a depot for it near the foot of Orange street in that city, where it is baled for shipment. This new in lustm can be most profitably developed in Georgia; for if there ever was a surplus of any one ar ticle, anywhere, which seemed to be value less, it is pine straw in Georgia.” On last Thursday Stephen Kile and Win. Stringer met at Pass’ grocery, in the edge of Hall county, to run ahorse race. There was a large crowd and free betting. The track selected was a narrow road near the grocery. Kile was r ding a horse difficult to manage. At the tone agreed on the horses were put on the track. Before they got through Kile’s horse flew the track and ran into the woods, lie first ran against a tree, crushing Kile's leg nearly all the way from the knee to the ankle, and kept on, running over a tall chest nirt stump, and as lie passed between two trees Kile caught to a limb and pulled him self oil'. The injury was so great that am putation was necessary above the knee. lie was also bruised and injured other ways. II is recovery is regarded as doubtful by the surgeon. —Gvoinnett lleraid. The Marietta Journal thus tells editorially of what was indeed a most " remarkable oe curr.enee” recently in Cob!) county. More over, a-i will be seen, the Journal declares that what it toils is as true as gospel. It snvs; •• Last Saturday a week ago. while Mr. Isaac Reed and his four children were picking cotton upon a portion of land be longing to Air. Newton Cates, in this county, rocks began to fall about, when Mr. Reed, in anger, grasped up a stone and exclaimed : " Whoever you are, if you don’t stop you’ll get this,” holding up the stone in his hand. But the rocks kept on falling so fast that all began to wonder who could he throwing them when it was noticed that they were rising off the ground about them and falling back. So strange a sight caused them to leave the field and go to the house near by, when the stone falling commenced there. Some of the near neighbors were sent for. among them Mr. N. Cates and Mr. J. Bazel (a sister of whom is Mr. Heed’s wife, and all saw the rocks fall ing. some of which were hot, and all testify to the same facts—for facts they are—but as to the cause, none of them pretend to know. Now. some will be so incredulous as utterly to denv ti is and cry out ‘ pshaw !’ an 1 ‘ su perstition.’ yet. in spite of ail, these are a^ well established facts as human testimony can establish. Better acceptor them as facts and go to investigating for the cause. On Monday week the same manifestations were repeated at the same place, and one of the stones struck a little boy on the foot, and another stone struck Mr. Bazel on the shoul der. By the way this is not the first time that these sort of 4 manifestations’ and 4 ap pearances,’ or call them by what name you please, have occurred, but in other places in this State and Virginia, such have occurred.” Jldocdisciucnts.
