RAILROAD ORGANIZATION.
For several days past there have been
some mutterings about a railroad to Car
rollton, but for prudential lessons it has
been kept quiet. Matters culminated
yesterday, however, by the organization
of two stock companies, the Rome &
Chattanooga with the following directors:
ROME A CHATTANOOGA.
James M. Lee, Walker county, Ga.;
D. F. Allgood, Trion Factory, Ga.; C. 0.
Cleghorn, Summerville, Ga.; Joel Bran
ham, T. F. Howell, Rome; J. T. Crosby,
Houston. Texas; Joseph Kinsey, Cin
cinnati, Obit; E. F. Browning, J. P,
Williamson. New York; and the follow
ing officers: J. D. Williamson, President
and General Manager; D. F. Allgood,
Viee-Prenident; T. F. Howell, Secreta
ry; J. H. Reynolds, Treasurer. And the
following stock trustees: J. C- Clements,
LaFayette; David Bukofzer, Dalton; R.
T. Fouche, Rome.
ROME & DALTON.
Directors—John H. Reynolds, T. F.
Howel, Samuel Morgan, E. T. McGhee,
J. W. Rounsavillo, Rome; J. Hull
Browning, J. D. Williamson, New liork-
J. D. Williamson, President and Gen
eral Manager; J. W. Rounsaville, Secre
tary; John 11. Reynolds, Treasurer.
Same stock trustees as iu Rome and
Chattanooga railroad.
A meeting was called to be held at
7:45 o'clock at the First National Bank.
At the hour appointed a large and earn
est representation of tho business men
were on hand.
On motion of Mr. John H. Reynolds,
Hon. Jack King was called to ti e chair,
and on motion of Co). D. B. Hamilton,
Mr. Wm. 11. Hidell was requested to act
as secretary.
The scheme is for Romo to secure the
right of way and subscribe $75,000 on
the upper road, to be paid as soon as the
road is completed and laid with steel
rails to Trion, and $50,000 on ths lower,
with right of way, to be paid on the 15th
of November if completed to Cedartown.
1 bis road may be bonded at not over
$7,500 per mile.
A general discussion followed, and was
participated in and questions asked by
Judge Branham, Mr. Reynolds, Col.
Hamilton, Mr. King and others. The
result was that $20,000 were subscribed
on lhe Rome and Carrollton road, and a
committee consisting of T. F. Howel, W.
I. McWilliams and John 11. Reynold*
were appointed to canvas the city for the
balance. The subscription books for tho
Rome nnd Chattanooga road have net

ENGLAND'S GROUND FOR WAR.
About two years ago, Russian ex
pansion in Central Asia brought the
armies of the Czar close to Afghanis
tan, one of the chief bulwark* of In
dia, and to about two hundred miles
from Herat, the strong fortress in the
northwestern corner of Afghanistan,
which is known as "the key to India.”
This being accomplished, England’s
alarm at the giowth of Russian power
in the direction of India, led her to
dcinaml that an 'exact boundary
should be made between Russian ter
ritory and A ghanietan. Russia as
sented, nnd a joint British and Rus.
aian Commission for this purpose was
appointed, with Sir Peter Lumsden
at the head of the English part of it.
Thus far, however, the Russian half of
the Commission Las not put in an ap
pearance. Meanwhile, however, a
Russian map has been prepared claim
ing territory for Russia within thirty
miles of Herat, including the direct
road to that stronghold, and, as I" g
land maintains, cutting lai... > into
the territory of Afghanistan. With
this land in possession, the Russian
government would possess enough
territory included within what is gen.
orally known as part of Afghanistan
to plate tlint country entirely within
its power, at any time when it should
please to take possession of the whole.
The object of those Russsian Generals
whose ambition is to contest the pos
session of England, would
be greatly assisted were the Russian
claim as stated, made good whether
by war or diplomacy; and the defeat
of this object by England, would in
sure her stronger hold on the coveted
possession, Hindustan. Penjdch, which
the Russians captured after the late
tight with Afghan troops, lies within
the territory of Aghanistan, according
to all authorities, excepting, possibly,
Russian.
As England is the ally of Afghan
istan, she is understood to be bound
to protect the integrity of Afghan ter
ritory against Russian aggression. If
uo boundary can be agreed upon
which will settle where Afghan
territory begins and Russian ends, to
fight for whit negotiation has as yet
failed to accomplish, namely the set
tlement of the boundary question,
svems to be the only alternative.
The regular army of Ruisia, in
time of peace, is 780,081, rank and
file. Great Britain'* regular army is
181,971, rank and file. Russia’s force
on a war footing is 2,300,000. Great
Britain’s on a war footing 641,753.
The British navy consists of 246 ves
seis manned by 57,250 men, and costs
annually $53,643,905. Russia's navy
contains 373 vessels, manned by 28,
975 men, and costa annually $19,911,-
580.
The British navy is far the most
powerful of any afloat, and next to it
in size and fighting capacity is the
navy ofFrar.ee- — Chattanooga Timet.
ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.
Robert J. Burdette, the famous Bur
lington Hawkeye man, lectured at the
Young Men’s Christian Association hall
last evening. There was a large attend
ance. His subject was, “Advice to Young
Men.” It is more blessed, the lecturer
said, to give than to receive advice. The
only man I ever knew who felt that he
was too young to advise other people was
ninety-eight years old,, and had just be
gun to learn that he didn’t know any
thing. You always pay for the best ad
vice. Really good advice is never free.
Dip you ever ask your lawyer a question,
my son? And what did the lawyer say?
Fifty dollars. If you want to be some
body in this world you must begin hy be
ing yourself. Your great grandfather
can’t help you, because ho is dead, and
this is a live world that wants living men.
When I hear a man talking too much
about his ancestors, I say, “There is a
man who needs them.” I have known
men who were very proud of their ances
tors whose ancestors would have been
most dismally ashamed of them. We
care more foi the pedigree of the horse
we buy than for that of the loan who
sellshim. After all, hard work is the
great secret of success. It accomplishes
more than genius. There are white
crows, but they are no more useful than
black ones. Hard work doesn’t kill men.
“Fun” kills men. The "good times”
the boys have lay them out. The hard
workers have no time for dissipation, so
they live long. Man’s work goes on for
ever, but every man doesn’t go on for
ever to do it. He doesn’t do it all while
he does stay here. A young man must
do bis best and hardest work now. When
you can get SSO a line for your poetry,
my boy, as Mr. Tennyson does, then you
van afford to write as poor poetry as Mr.
Tennyson does. Wearing a Burnside
hat doesn't give a man a war record.
Twenty-eight inches ofcoat padded across
sixteen inches of s) ouldcrs doesn’t make
you a gymnast. Men do not value a tur
key for its plumage. Don't go into debt.
If you can't get along without more than
you have, don't borrow; steal. It would
not worry you half so much, and if you
steal enough you can go to Canada and
become a shining light in society. "Does
it pay,” you ask, “to be honest?” No,
my son, not il'you're honest for pay it
doesn’t. Not il you uro honest merely
because you think it will pay; not if you
are honest because you are afraid to be a
rogue; not if you are honest because you
believe in that mean cld saying that
“honesty is the best policy.” Honesty
isn’t a policy, it's a principle, and if you
can’t be honest because your soul hates a
lie and despises a mean action, if you
can’t bo honest for the sake of the dear
white truth herself, di n’t try to be hon
est; be a rascal; that's wh-t you’re in
tended for.
Get married, my son! Look me in the
eye; if you never do anything §lse in the
world, get uiariod. Don’t be in too hie
a Lurry about it, but don’t be too delib
erate. It is your duty. Don't think the
girls are all butterflies of fashion. If you
want to marry a laundress, doyourcourt
ing in tho laundry; but if you want a
wife, mar y the girl you love. Ba honest
with the world. Don't sail under false
colors. Don't rapine over your poverty;
it is good for you. We got most of our
presidents from Illinois tan-yards and
farms and Ohio tow-paths. Don't envy
any great man, my boy. The great man,
with his weight of years and care, envies
you every time ho passes you by. And
if you can't be a leader, double-leaded, a
column long, on the second page, you
can be something just as useful. You
can be a little paying fvur-lioe solid non
pareil “ad.," on the inside, down under
a picture of Lydia Pinkham, and that
will help the make up, and tills its place
in the paper. Be anything iu the world,
my boy, that is alive aud useful. Be any
thing but a “dead ad.”— Bouton J/craU.

A Lady’s Opinion.
Mrs. Geo. Gilbert, Bryan, Ohio, writes.
"Da. S. B. Hartman & Co., Columbus,
Ohio: I commenced on the fifth bottle of
your PERUNA this morning, and should
just as soon think of doing without my
meals as without my medicine. I
have been doctoring for about four
years, and kept getting worse all the
time and was just giving up in despair
when I got one of your books, “ The Ills
of Life. I was in bed at the time. I
read and re read your book and felt like
trying your medicine. My folks thought
there was no use in trying anything more,
I was too far gone, and might as well
make up my mind to die. I told them
PERUNA was the medieiue I need- d, and
I intended totry a bottle. It proved a suc
cess in breaking the chills, and if it had
not done one thing more, I would have
been satisfied. But it has done more, and
I feel like another person. Everybody
that sees me is surprised to see me looking
so well, as they al! thought I was dying
with consumption,and now mv own folks
have as much to say for the PERUNA as
I. I recommend it to everybody I see.
There were two of our neighbors in yes
ter lay inquiring about the PERUNA. I
gave the one my book to read; told her
to bring it back, as I prized it very high
ly. The other got the name of the Pe
p.CNA to send to bis son in Chicago. He
is a telegraph operator My disease is
something similar to Mrs. Milo Ingram's,
though nothing compare.! to being so bad.
There was a lump raised on my collar
bone, and it was a long time before it
looked like opening. The doctor said lie
would have to lance it in a few days, but
I thought I would attend to that myself,
so I put a little fly blister on it and it
opened; then I put a poultice on and then
salve, and kept the salve on all the time.
It got so b I and spread upon my left
shoulder, and one place under my left
breast. Then there were two places on
my head, one near the temple and one
back of my ear that was jn«t d-eadful.
No tongue can tell what I suffered. My
head felt so strange sometimes. I thought
I was going crazy. Since I have used
the PERUNA (I don't use the salve any
more) my sores healed up right away.
And oh, what a relief it is to get around
without chilling and having to suffer with
my sores. I feel like letting everybody
know all about it.”
John Ferguson, Gallitzin, Pa., writes:
“ Your Pesuna is a good medicine, and
we sell lots of it. Will you please send
us some more ‘ ills of Life,’ with a few
German.”
