New Railroad Project.
Mobile Register,
Mr. L. Y. Dean, of Eufaula,
Ala., was in the city Thursday
evening and yesterday forenoon
and said :
“The subscription books of the
new railroad to be built from Col
umbus, Ga., to St. Andrews Bay,
on the gulf coast of Florida, will be
opened on the fifth of next month
at the banks of all the counties
through which the line will run.
It has long been the desire of our
people to have some such a line,
and at one time we spent a good
deal of money to further the in
terest of a projected line to con
nect with the Seaboard Air Line,
but that fell through for some rea
son. Now we are all humping for
the new proposition, which seems
to be good from every stand point.
It will traverse in Alabama the
counties of Jefferson, Macon,
Coosa, Tallapoosa, Bulloch, Rus
sell, Barbour and Henry, will run
directly through the city of Eufau
la, and will be in all about 300
miles in length.
“This road will run through
some of the finest cotton country
of the south, while traversing Ala
bama, and when it gets into Flori
da it will enter a virgin forest of
long leaf yellow pine that will give
it an enormous tonnage for many
years to come. The enterprise is
an entirely feasible business ven
ture and one in which the mer
chants bankers, manufacturers and
planters of that entire section are
taking considerable interest. If it
has no serious drawbacks it will be
pushed through to completion with
out any delay.”

Domestic Troubles.
It is exceptional to find a family
where there are no domestic rup
tures occasionally, but these can be
lessened by having Dr. King’s New
Life Pills around. Much trouble
they save by their great work in
stomach and liver troubles. They
not only relieve you, but cure. 25c
