There is considerable talk of the con struction of an olectrio railway from Athens to Carnesville. It is known that an Ohio syndicate, headed by a gentleman named Morgan, has decided to construct several electric lines iu the state of Georgia, and that the officers of this syndicate have ap proached the citizens of Carnesville with a proposition to construct this road if the proper enoouragement is given them. The proposition made is for the peo ple along the line to put up thirty thons and dollars towards its construction, and the people of Carnesville raised folly one-third of that amount in a short while. It is believed that the people along the line of the proposed railway and in Athens, whioh will bo its ter minus, will come up with the remainder of the money readily. The territory whioh the new road would open up is one of the best in the state. It has been handicapped for many years by the lack of railroad facilities and the opportunity that is now pre sented is one that is not likely to be al lowed to pass by. Such a road would be of great benefit to Athens aud the people of this oity should take up the matter at once and do their fnll share towards making the movement a success. MICHAEL BROTHERS.
