Tha read was owned by Messrs.

man representing a New York

for business, and, after they got
together, they didn't slop until
they had flaisheil it.
The News and Advertiser learn
ed from the best authority that
the purchasers of the road olili
gated themselves to complete the
road between Bainbridgc and
Cuthbert within the next twelve
months. The road is already-
graded lietwea these two |xunu,
and it was thia, together with the
charter, franchise, etc., that was
sold. The price paid for the road
was $90,000, which amount comes
to a majority ol the late owners
almost like a “windfall.”
It ia understood that the road i
will be extended from Cuthbert,
to Florence, thence across the j
Chattahoochee to tap the Ixiuis-
ville anil Nashville railroad at the
moat practicable jmint, and from
Florence to Columbus, connecting
with the road now in rontciupla

Ceilartown.

were here Monday and yesterilay
