THE M. & U. RAILROAD.
Tnc.nll ing top c among the
pcrrple in 1 1?.-< part of the country is the
recent v sit. of the M. & B. 'K. R. Cem
nittr-e and vvlinttlie result of ttieir la
bors ayd investigations will he. There
are a grefct many speculations indulged
”’n ly l classes. The most pronounc
ed in their views are om* Brunswick
friends. Toey utterly op nee a lease,
and sny the only safety for the road
and to ke ‘p it out of the maw >f a vo
racious monopoly is for the Stitc t>*
retain it, two years longer at least and
extend its tine to Atlanta. They also
ly they arc ent tied to one of the
commissioners. Our Macon friends are
(opposed to Brunswick's proposition,
and favor u lease. We are at a great
loss to know just ti e wisest plan. We
like the idea of extension to Atlanta,
because it puts us in direct communi
cation with a wide-awake, energetic
people, whose sympathy Mid ability
would flow' out all over this land, and
infuse into us some of the industrial
talent that characterize them.
We also favor Brunswick having
one of the commissionei 8 ; we think it
due the city by the sea; one of her
citizens would identify himself with
-eveiy t llort to promote the prosperity
.ol the mad and country
in this cona.ect'on we think it etnv
in fitly propi. r that we should have one
of the commissioners and Macon an
pther; thus giving Macon one, East
man one, and Brunswick one. The
rotd in the management of three com
missioners h cated as above would cer'
taii,il> represent the l est interest of the
-country. But as;to the sale or lease of
the road, our best opinion is to lease
it for a term of years to a company of
.capitalists giving thorn the privilege
of ext< ml,ing the line to Atlanta, and
alh)wing them to retain the rental un
til th y w ere fully reimbursed for the
outlay. We believe it is in the power
of the Legislature to frame a lease
that wi,li subserve the interest of the
State at large, and the people here
more immediately interested ; and we
hope to see a unity of action on the
part of all interest'd in the road by
the m -cling of the L gislature next
year.
'The message that Air Hayes recent

nerveless that ie chiefly cen

There isn't a word about office holders

MACON & BRUNSWICK It. It.
Return of jtUe Legislative Com
mittee.
We clip the following from the Con
stitution in reference to.the recent trip
oi the legislative committee to inspect
tli “ Macon & Brunswick Railroad :
‘lhe joint appointed bv
the senate and house to examine into
the condition and report on the advi
sability of the sale of the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad have returned
from their labor of inspection alter an
absence of several days and a full and
fa.ithfu! discharge of the dut es impos
ed on them.
Their trip was made as pleasant as
possible by the many courtesies shown
them At the start they were given
the beautiful palace sleeper “Escort.
and Mr. Lucas, by his personal efforts
added ranch to the comforts o the
legislative iuspctois. They have pass
ed a resolution thanks to Mr. Lucas
for his kindness. Mr. George \V. Ad
ams, the efficient manager of the road,
also dji much not only to aid the com
mittee in attaining the desired infor
mation, but also in making the r labors
easy and pleasant. Wnen they arrived
at Brunswick the people of that city
received them most cordially, and all
during their stay contributed in vari
ous ways to their comfort. In response
to an address of welcome By the m
or of Brunswick, Senator Fain made a
happy reply, saying that the du*y of
the committee W’as to look first at the
interest of the groat Stafe of Georgia,
but that in doing so the interest of tho
people of Brunswick should be as care
fully guarded as possible..
I 1 rom Brunswick a sub-committee
consisting of Messrs. Troutman and
Ilawkin.s of the and Messrs.
Fort aud Gray of the house, went by
steamer Florence to Fernandina. This
’>oat is under the control of the road,
and completes the route to F.ori la.—
The subcommittee came back aud
joined the other members of the com
mittee, who in the meantime had been
inspecting the road. The committee
find the road generally in not a very
good condition. The track needs re
pairs. The shops in Macon are not.
sufficiently extensive., and stand on
rented ground. The rolling stock is
mostly rented, and there is not too
much of it. But all of Jthese defects
ivsu't from a sea-city of money, and
in spite of them the road is doing
REMARKABLY WELL,
and its business constantly increasing
under Mr. Adams’ management. It
nets about $5,000 a month, and has
already paid into the treasury of the
State
to a condition where it will be truly
valuable and will b gin to pay hand
-B<>mel.v the necessary provi
sions for repairs are made.
AS TO THE SALE
of the read now, there is some and übt
in the minds of the legislators gener
ally. It is a problem a-= to whether the
committee will report until the session
of next summer, and either then wheth
er they will report in favor of an early
sale. The committee are cagtio slv
acting, and whatever course they rec
ommend will he after mature reflec
tion. The people of Brunswick are
very much opposed to the sale of the
road. They lear it will tall into the
hands of some railroad monopoly, and
that their city will thus be ceb im-d
ol t,be benefits it is now receiving from
the road as managed by tile State.—
I hey have prepared a huge petition
against the sale of the road and will
use all ot their influence to prevent it
In £he opinion of many the sa’e, if or
dered, and duly advertised can be
managed as to avoid any result that
will be injurious to Brunswick, while
it may greatly benefit the SpUjte At
present the definite result QifJhc future
is a nutter of guess.
The following is now the true bill
a# amended and passed by the General
Assembly, in reference to advertising
local bills to be biought before that
body :
‘•Provided, that where there is no
newspaper published in the county
where the local legislation is asked,
notice ot said bills shall be published
in the papers where slier ff s sales are
published, and in all notices to be pub
lished under this net, it shall not be
lawful for any newspaper to charge
Wore than $1 per square for said no
tice, and in case of a refusal to publish
at said rate, then a publication in any
other newspaper leaving a circulation
in the comity where the local legisla
tion is desired, si tall be sufficient ’

Hog Killing Time Around Again.
From the Constitution.
Hog killin is over and everything
cleaned up. It w;,s a lively aud a
greasy time in these parts for a season,
and the children have had fro'ic. enuff
to dn em till Christmas. Roastin liver
on tin* hot C"a's and tails in the ashes,
blowing up bladders and grinding up
sausage meat, are some of the time
honm\ and incidentals you cant deny em
when the time comes. Hog killing
must he a very ancient bisness, for the
scripters speak of em as domestic ani
mals runnin in herds and takin speedi
ly to water wnen the devils got in em,
which of course aint no type in partik
ular, and dont s’gnify anything in a
doctrinal way. From time iimni rao
rial I suppose that hogs has been ustd
for food by a'most all kinds of people
except the children ot Abraham. Why
they dident eat em after they got out
of the wilderness and settled down in
anew country I don't know, for the
preachers say all of them sort of laws
expired in 40 years, and was only in
tended for camp life on the wrong side
ot Jordan, and St. Paul says there is
nothin unclean, but evil be to him who
evil thinks As for myself, Ini not
overly nice about what 1 eat and what
I d'mt eat. Ive been both tired and
hungry for the last thirty ycais, and
have learned to relish a good many
things I didnt use to. Mrs. Arp done
that. She converted me to oysters and
tripe,aud turtle aud hog brains, etc.,
that I wasnt raised on, but 1 never
could convert her to codfish, nor pun
kin pie, nor whippin the children, nor
anything else she wasnt raised on—
which illustrates my willingness to
submit to her in her speer, and if we
could always agree on the s zc of the
spec:* everything would he calm and
serene.
I remember what a hard time some
of the Ji w soldiers had in our confed
erate army, for tln-y wouldnt eat hog
a id s urn-times we didnt get beef for
weeks at a time, and g<-ese wasnt con
venient,and fish was scase but tln-y
g<.,t along somehow and kept tip with
the rest of us, and male no fuss about
it —aud right here I will observe* that
if any particular class of people made
better soldiers generally tnan another
it was the Jews. There wasnt many
of them, but I never knowd one to
flinch in tfie hour of peril, nor dodge
from his duty, nor shoot hi- finger ofi,
nor get behind a trees and waive his
arms out for a furlo. I remember how,
after a long march, in terrible weather
uoor Jonas came dragging himself up
to Dr Millers tent, wet, hungry and
cold, and wh'-i: the doctor asked him
where his.company was, Sgid he, with
a salute :
‘l'm the company, doctor—what's
left of it—the rest arc killed or wound
ed, ot sick or on furlo ’
Noble Jew was Jonas—as amble as
he was true % Silent, serious, and un
complaining, he never asked for any
thing but orders
Fat hogs are a good sign on a farm.
They are a sign of a lat corn-crib and
tl.ats a sign ol fat land. Fat hogs con
tribute more good things to the kitch
en t han any other animal. Bill Fort
says a rich and stingy old man witn
one foot in ihe grave always remind*
ed him.of a fat l og, for as long as he
was alive he wanst worth a cent 4 > any
b >dy, but when he died Ids hungry
heirs got land and stocks, and bonds
and a gold watch, and carriage and
hoi so and silverware, which was the
same as hams and shoulders, and mid
lins and brains, ami spare ribs and
back bone aud s (usage meat and
souse, and cracklins and enough lard
to make it greasy and good aud pala
table.
The best way fo kill a hog is to shout
him, shoot him broadside to you, and
aim right between the eye and ear ;
then the bad will go right through tin
brain and out and no danger of lod--
ing in the shoulder, as it does some
times when shoot him from the trout.
The best time to kill him is alxout the
middle of the day, sons to get through
by sundown, and then alter cutting
tljeir heads off let cm hangup all night
and drip and get thoroughly cold
Next morning the blood will be all out,
and you can cut up and salt away on
shelves, each piece to itself. Dont
pack down in a box for two or three
days, unless the weather turns warm*
in which case fill every spice with salt.
There are as many ways to kill and
cure bacon as there are remedies for
sick mules; but I have never found any
use for rock salt, nor saltpeter, nor mo
lasses. J knowd a man in old Gwin
nett, who owned a mill and killed lots
of hogs, and he said his way was to
heat a big p le of rocks and throw cm
in his mill pond and then drive his hogs
right through and they come out on
the other side as clean as skinned eels.
But his name was “lyin'* Tom Turner,
and sune folks didnt. be’ieve more than
half he said about anything.

FOR THE “TIMES.”
IS THE SOUL IMMORTAL ?
I have Ikjcii led to seriously contem
plate tills subject by knowing there arc
men among us, even in this, our en
lightened country who hold to the be
lief that there is nothing of us after
death. It is a mysterv that any man
of intelligence, from the very nature
of things, could entertain such a be
lief. They must deny the authenticity
of the for in the very ouiset # the
B ble says when man was created the
Almighty breathed into his nostrils the
breath -of life and man became a living
soul. IVln a Christ was transfigured
on the Mount, Moses and Elias appear
ed unto Him • and although they had
been dead so many years, they were
recognized by the and seiph-s. This
proves that we shall notoniy live after
deutlq but that we will know each oth
er—for the disciples had never seen
Moses aud Elias in the flesh. Again,
the rich man knew Abraham, although
seen afar off. Can any man believe,
after an impartial reading of the Scrip*
lures, that they were written by im
posters ? No, it cannot be that this
Book is a forgery. No men nor set of
men ever >ad the talent or knowledge
to forge such a Book as the Bible.
I remember reading of a savage
rince being brought lo England many
years ago. After he had been there
sometime, lie was asked what be
thought of the Bible, lie said he De
licved it was the word of Go 1, for he
noticed all the good p ople in favor of
it, and all the bad people opposed to
it. If we cast our eyes over the map
of the world and enquire, Where is
the education of youth most assidu
ously pursu. and ?—where are the poor
and needy most relieved ? —where are
the female sex tr ated with due res
pect, and exalted to her proper place
in society ?—where are the brightest
acts ot benevolence, and where dc men
enjoy the most rational happiness ?
The answer will be # in those countries
where the blessed truths of the gospel
are inculcated.
Atheism is notoniy a fallacious but
a dangerous-doctrine.- Who can read
the revolution in France in time of
Louis XVI without shuddering? They
even blasphemed Heaven itself. They
pasted over the gates that led to their
•cemeteries, “Death everlasting sleep/’
They .cut off each other's heads, stuck
them on poles and paraded through
the streets. They soon began to think
they could not take off heads enough
in the ordinary way, so they invented
that horrid instiument, the guillotine.
Soon the kng was brought to the
bh’ck and not long after the queen was
execuied in the same way. T.ie streets
of Paris ran with blood. No wonder
it was called the reign of terror. We
must not infer that the whole nation
were atheist ; a large portion looked
on the dreadful scene with horror and
detestation. But from this we may
conjecture what would be the state of
a nation if all were to become atheist;
it would be a lively picture of lu-Jl upon
earth. There ayould be one remarka
ble difference—for while the atheist
deny the God that made him, the in
habitants of hell believe and tremble.
I recollect hearing, several years ago,
a deist say iio one could make him dis
believe In the existence of God; but
he did not believe there was anything
more of a rn-" 1 after death .than a brute.
Hc g as reason for this belief, that
lie had often sat by the bedside of the
dying and watched to see tin* spirit
(-scape ; as he could not do this, he
inferred there was nothing of man af
ter death Re ought to have lived in
the time of the prophet Elisha, so he
could have prayed to the A mighty to
op n his eyes, as he did for his servant
in 2d KmgSj 6the. 17th v.
1 tiiink one must tie miserable if he
b lieves, when he lays his and ar relatives
and friends away in the silent grave,
tharthe will never meet them again,—
We cannot help but have our fears,
but there is a great joy in the belief
that we w 11 one day meet our loved
ones, tliat have gone before us, in a
better world than this, and be with
them forever. I would not exchange
mv hope of salvation in the world to
come for all that this world could be
stow without it. Irene.
The Secretary of War, in fiis annual
report, places the total number of en

Referring to the law forbidding the
army being used as a posse commitatis,
be expresses the opinion that troops
should be used to enforce the process

.When the summer passes away and
the flowers lie withered and sere ;
when the fomstputs on its annual robes
of scarlet and gold, when the breezes
come fresher and more bracing, when
the crack of the gun reverberates
through the silent isles of the wood
land, when everything has a tendency
to m ike man pause and meditate on
the uncertainties and vicissitudes ot
life, what is sweeter than to sit on a
rail fence and peacefully devour a raw
turnip !

B : gh to-night for my Home l>eyond their
glowing, as I often sigh 4 Tor this earth
is so beautiful and blissful one could
wish to live here forever'if comforted
oy such pleasant memories, such sweet
thoughts as haunt me now.
Out in the starlight the leaves hold
revelry and are dancing to the. music
of the whispering wind which plays in
at my open window where odorous vi
olets blow, there blue-bells kissed by
the star-shine, and ever f in voiceless
sweetness, telling of faithfulness ana
love. It seems almost summer time
tonight; there is summer in my heart,
but too lightly these bright moments
are dropping into the past—too quick

intrude on this repose of happiness.
I am just returned to my woodland
home from the residence of Dr. J. E.
Mobley, where, on last Thursday even'
ingj Nov. 21st, was witnessed the
marriage of his youngest sister, Miss
Ellen L. Mobley and Mr. Bt-nnie Evans,
of Scriven county, Ga. They were
attended by Miss Joe Evans and Mr.
Robert Parker, Miss Lillie Mcßae and
Mr. Jimmie Evans. The marriage cer
emony was interestingly performed by
Rev. James Humphreys, of Scriven
county.
The occasion was of peculiar pleas
ure to me, it being my birthday. Some
warm congratulations were received
from “hearts tried and true/’ and at
supper there was a beautiful cake, a
gift from the bride, with my name in
scribed on it.
A delightful week has sped into the
“nevermore,” bearing with it its joys
that can never come again, but it has
left something sweet to think of. Un
fastening the faded rosebud and ge
ranium leaves from m3’ breast-pin to
night, 1 have wished the roses of the
heart of the amiable bride may live,
unwithered, through an eternal spring.
In the ride home to-day, we passed
the old home, all ruinous with age and
decay, where was twice married Mr.
Hardy’ E. Bryan, the father-in-law of
our gifted Mrs. Mary K. Bryan. The
shaded position, fallen balconies, tum
bling stairway and broken windows*
make it appear a fit abode for uncanny
beings. Not having inherited much
of the superstition myaricegtors brought
from the Emerald Isle, I dared t.) enter
alone the long deserted rooms, and
admire the bits of frescoing time has
left, smile at the high, narrow windows
and wonder if those who once lived
there in joy and sorrow, as wo live to
day, ever care now In return, and smile
and weep again within those walls.
It was growing too late to drive by
the old Bryan field where once stood
the dwelling of my great great-grand
father, Mr. John Hill Bryan. I have
fdt anew interest in the name since
hearing of the many eccentricities be
longing to the family. Henceforth, all
my own in.compatibl ■ qualities of char
acter shall be ascribed to the Bryan
within me. Daisy Rkid.
