Athens Banner-Watchman: We leant
that an examination of the recent surveys
made for the Georgia, Carolina and North
ern railroad to the Savannah river will
carry the line 23,000 feet, or four and three
quarter miles south and east of Elberton,
and the friends of that town are very un
easy lest it loses the railroad. It is esti
mated that to grade and equip this road
w ill cost 820,000 per mile; and as Elberton
has only raised f13,000 it is a matter of
doubt if Gen. Hoke will find it to the inter
est of his road to take in Elberton. Athens
is highly favorable to Elberton, and our
citizens will do all in their power to over
come any obstacle that may arise.
On Wednesday a prisoner named Hillyer
Moody, in charge of Mr. W. J. Durham,

good his escape. Mr. Durham had two
men, Hillyer Moody and Frank Brook,
whom he had captured in Henry county,
and was taking hack to Woodvillo for com
mittal trial on the charge of burglary in the
night. At a point a few hundred yards be
low the depot, Moody asked permission to
get a drink of water, which Mr. Durham
unthoughtedly granted. When he reached
the cooler ftt the forward end of the car,
Moody took the glass in his hand for a
moment, and seeing the coast clear he
jerked open the door and jumped the train,
which at this point was getting well under
way. Mr. Durham turned his other man
over to Capt. John C. Hurt, stopj**l the
train and ran for Sheriff English. The two
gave pursuit as speedily as possible, but
Moody had made good his escape. His ac
complice, Brook, was brought here Thurs
day and jailed. The crime with which the
two men are charged is breaking open and
robbing Mr. Durham’s store at Woodville
some weeks ago.

beneficial, as it will get the road out of thie
court into private hands, and that it will
then lie run to the best advantage of the

a matter of much speculation, but it is
thought that it will remain in the hands of
the present company, and that a northern
outlet from this city to some point iu Geor

no charges are to lie made for these pnpers
in Tampa, and it is hoped that it will be
arranged by the authorities ot the different
counties and towns throughout the State so
that citizens can get them without unneces
sary expense and trouble, while every care
is taken not to issue them to refugees from
the infected places who have not been de
