gentleman, in yesterday’s paper, was
weighed and measured. The general
impression is that the road will he
built. The Augusta Chronicle of the
3d, says:
“The Augusta nnd West Florida
railroad is now a ccrtahity.
‘‘Many people thought the enter
prise a weak one at its inception, and
when Mr. Jesse Thompson threw all
his energy and means into the work
of construction, they felt that he, al
most unaided and alone, could do but
little.
“The road however was of too much
importance to long remain without
the assistance of outside capital.
“To day all the plans will have
been decided upon by which the lines
will be pushed foward as fast as men,
tiles and money combined can make
it go.
“All of yesterday the gentlemen in
terested in the project were conferring
in the office of Mr. James II. Jackson.
They are prcsideiiQSmith, of the rail
road company; president Thompson,
of the construction company; (.'apt.
T. J James, the big railroad con
tractor of Atlanta; Mr. Bailey, repre
senting capitalists of Kansas City, and
Mr. Jackson
“The intention is to form another
construction company to-day, of which |
Capt. James will be president, and
which can put up enough money to
hurry the road to completion.
“It wos’rtimorcd that Mr. Thompson
and others originally interested had
sold out entirety at big profit, but this
could not be verified, as all of the par
ties refused absolutely to talk, farther
than to request the complete suppres
sion of the news Most people feel,
however, that both the new and old
companies will join together in build-
in-- the line.
Melon Growers' Meeting.
Melon Growers of Brrtoks and
Thomas counties met in Quitman
Friday 30th. Mr. J. If. Forrester,
President of the Melon Exchange was
present and stated that the Exchange
would pay 871 per car for all melons
weighing 18 pounds nnd lip loaded
by July 1st, 8110 per car for all from
July 1st to July loth; 850 for all af
ter loth. First load, 1050 to be in a
car, second 1150, third 1250. This
places the melon business on a firm
basis, as the money is from the com
missioners who expect to handle the
crop. There is also an option of
either selling or co-oporating with the
exchange, which any grower can do
by uniting with it without any cost. It
is to he hoped that all thegrowers will
go into the Exchange, as it will work
greatly to their interest, and especially
when ledaiul managed, by as honest
and intelligent a man as Mr. Forrester.

People who have been bothering

Li explaining his new ami heretofore

“There is a triple sympathetic order
of vibration diverting the positive and
negative currents to one general and
polarized center, the rotary action
being continuous when sympathetical
ly associated with the polar stream.”
Wc have suspected, all the while,
that it was something like this. But
now it is perfectly clear. Every
child will understand it.

value of the estate. According to the
