Our advices from the managers of
construction of the many railroads
now being built in Georgia are to the
effect that work is being pushed with
great energy.
Grading and track laying on the
Georgia Pacific are going ahead as fast
as Major Temple, with two thousand
men and abundant material can send
them. An exenrsion train will be run
into Douglasville, twenty-six miles
from Atlanta, early in the month of
May.
Work on the Atlanta and Rome di
vision of the Cincinnati and Georgia
railroad is being rushed with Major
McCracken’s tireless energy, while
the grading on tbe Atlantaand Macon
division is nearly done, and the track
is traveling toward a junction, from
each end, at the rate of two mi’es a
day. Atlanta will receive an excur
sion from Macon, over this new rood,
July 4th. One reason why this road
rises like magic from the ground, is
because Ohio men have hold of it.
The extension of the Savannah,
Florida and Western, to Chattahoo
chee, Florida, Is nearly done, and is a
most important enterprise for Colonel
Haines’ system and that section of
country.
The North-Eastern railroad is anoth
er of the vigorously pushed lines,
through Habersham county and Ra
bun Gap, to the east Tennessee sys
tem. We may visit Tallulah Falls in
the coaches of the North-Eastern,
July 4th.
Tbe Gainesville, Jefferson and
Southern is shooting right along to
ward Jug Tavern.
Tbe East Tennessee ten mile cut-off
between VameU’a, in Georgia, and
Ctoltewah, in Tennessee, is being qui
etly built, and will be finished before
many people find it out.
The Knoxville and Augusta, under
the energetic management of Colonel
Twiggs, is completed to Greenwood,

The death of Jesse James recalls the
fate of another equally desperate ban-
bit, “Sam” B*a«,:wfae made the plains
of western Texas the scene of his ex
ploits. This noted robber, for whose
capture, “dead or alive,”, a large xm
had been offered, waf finally entrap
ped with a comrade in the town of
Bound Both, in the summer of W5,
and after a short but bloody struggle,
in whieh Old sherUTof Williamson
county and two of his.dspatiea, aa well
as IheewSpsatet oftfre outlaw, were
left in the streets dead and dying,
Basa himself feU framTris horse in the
outskirts of the town mertaily wound
ed by a ball from a Winchester rifle.
He ws# buried With totteh “pomp and
eircumstanee” in the cemetery at
Bound Rock. Songn ware oompased
and song in his honor^mhd hla grave
is even now ottfOMnwn with flowers
by sympathizing Texans. His gang
was broken up, many of his partners
in crime gofag np tom Mhwwirt ’ and
joining Jesse James.' Two * of them,
“Frank” Carter and John Under
wood, have figured conspicuously in
several recent train robberies..
