Says the Gwinnett Herald : “Last

was resumed after a delay of six
weeks, but little could be done on ac
count of the heave)’ rains. On Mon

though there was during the day a
considerable snow that melted as it
fell. We hope this remarkable spell
has at last broken up, and that we
will huve an opportunity to push the
work forward rap dly. We under
stand a large force is at work and
that the train is now running to the
Peachtree road. For the last month
the depot at Suwannee has been
crowded with freight on account of
the terrible conditions of the wagon

mence doing a small business as soon
as the track is put down half a mile

Johnson worked with him one year, and
that he did well. A’ecenJy both the
