Athene now needs in the
way oj ) r^jil J ijo^4, T cqnnection8 is an
outlet direct te *he West. We have

through, .Macon to Florida and th<*
Savannah ports, and a very desirable
Outlet’to the Charleston port by way
<*rf «» 'i < • T
q£ the. Georgia railroad through Au
gusta. We have the Richmond and
‘iSariyjWq’ft connections North, and
Vbei Seaboard Airline railways lead
ing direct to the seaport: and steam
1ihip lines of Virginia r and thus have
splendid connections with New York
and the great cities in New England.
The Georgia, Carolina & Northern
will soon link us more directly with
the Southwest through Atlanta
Thus we are very well connected
with every quarter of the commercial
world except with the W eat
It behooves Athens to seek a Wes
tern outlet and to do it at once. The
Augusta and Chattanooga is the next
victory for Athens to achieve. This
' road will surely be built in the fu
ture. It is only a question of time,
and why not make it an early date ?
The wealth of Chattanooga, Augusta
and Charleston is combining for this
purpose, and the Piedmont Construc
tion Company formed here in Athens
last year will find it an easy task to
secure a backing in its great underi
taking.
Tbe need of such a connection as
this line would give is obvious. We
people of Athens could save enough
money on coal alone within a few
years to pay our part of the expenses
of building a direct line of railway
to the coal beds of Tennessee, and
the savings in freight on grain and
meat from the West would amount
to a great sum.
The Augusta and Chattanooga
should at once attract the attention
of every citizen in Athens and North
East Georgia.

is bound to go into enterprises to
give occupation to manufacturers
and workmen. It cannot be idle in
bank.
As a great manufacturing centre
Angnsta may expect to get its full
share of tbe benefit of this r« invest
ment of released capital, as well as
of the greatly increased demand for
manufactured goods. New factories
will spring up, necessitating the
erection of new dwellings, and tbe
volume of local trade will be swelled
by the wages expended by a largely
increased population. It is safe for
GOOD FOR THE FARMERS.
The plan recently outlined by tbe
Government’s Post office department I the business man to bank upon the
for enlarging the facilities of the de- evidences of prosperity which appear
partment by giving a service of free
delivery in the rural districts is cer
tainly a good scheme.
‘ It is a poative disadvantage to the
farmers of the country to day that
they have such a poor postal com
munication with the outside world.
They have to send, many of them,
five or six mills to a post office fre
quently and are even then given but
one or two mail a week perhaps*
This prevents the farmer from sub
scribing for a daily newspaper, which
is a history of the world for the last
twenty four hours before its publi
cation. Hence, the farmer is behind
the rest of the world one week. This
ought not to be.
Our rural districts ought to have
abetter postal service. We trust
the department will carry out the
plan that has been promisingly
mapped oot.
so unmistakably. Enterprise always
anticipates and provides for a pros
perous season in trade.
A GREAT BUSINESS REVIVAL.
A review of the financial and busi
ness situation in this conntry gives
every encouragement to believe that
we are fairly entering upon an unex
ampled era of national prosperity,
says the Augusta News. Gold is
flowing from Europe^ailrcad receipts
are steadily increasing, and business
and trade are showing all the symp
toms of a genuine revival.
It has been said that the farmers
have preferred to pay off mortgages
with the profits of their crops this
ir, instead of buying goods, and
that, therefore, the chief effect of the
abundant harvest will be to transfer
creditors millions of wealth to glut
money centres. Bat this money
must be re-invested, anyhow, and it
WINNIE DAVIS-
The friends of Miss Winnie Davis
will read the following with interest:
Miss Winnie Davi* possesses not
only the ability to make a profession
of her artistic powers, but has de
veloped also her literary powers to a
practical extent, writes Alice Gra
ham McCollin in a sketch of the
daughter of Jefferson Davis in the
December Ladies’ Borne Journal.
She has, of late months, written ex
tensively for the current periodicals
and reviews of this conntry, and is
always a welcome contributor* She
sings delightfully, playing her own
accompaniments with charming
simplicity.

FOR OUR BOYS.
It is gratifying iu the extreme to
observe tbe great interest that the
people of Georgia are taking now in
legislative steps towards bringing
higher education within the reach ot
tbe yonth ot oar land. Our hope
has revived that the Universities of
tbe Stale will be bnilt up within the
next few years to a degree of excel
lence never before realized in Geor
gia. Our common schools are al
ready being endowed with more
money from the State’s treasury and
there seems to be a veritable boom
for a higher education all over the
State.
Along with this interest in educa
tional institutions it is not at all
surprising that tbe literary societies
here at the University of Georgia
which have been so instrumental in
developing such oratory and states
manship as that of Toombs and Hill,
should also receive a just recognition
for their importance. The move
ment recently inaugurated for re
pairing the hall of the Demosthenian
Society meets encouragement in
Georgia, and this serves to show how
earnest the interest is in higher edu
cation. Tbe newspapers of tbe State
are taking up the movement for the
preservation of the traditions and
usefulness of this Society and many
of them have given strong editorial
endorsement to tbe plans. It is safe
to say that the Demosthenian So»
ciety will soon have a ball on tbe
College campus that will adorn that
precions spot of Georgia soil as do
no other buildings on the campns.
gan to develop into a political party
.and threatened to deride, distract
and weaken that great time honored
and patriotic organization, the demo
cratic party, my hope of its useful
ness fled, and I believed that its
leaders, if they could, would disrupt
that party, which, if they dest royed
would rui-. the country. When it
seemed to be determined to rule or
ruin tbe democratic party, it ceased
to appeal to my sense of what is best
for the farmers and best for the
whole country.” .
Now, this is good sound talk. It
is such doctrine as every Alliancea
man in the south ought to preach.
The Third party will kill the Alii-
ance completely if encouraged. The
Alliance is better than the Third
party and if one or the other must
die let it be the Third party.
The Alliance has done great work
for the farmers of the South. It is a
great campaign of education, but the
movement the farmers take the
Alliance out of the Democratic party,
then and there they cut loose from
financial and commercial freedom
and give themselves up to political
bondage.. «
The Alliance and the Democracy
must go hand in h$nd.

MAJOR RYALS AND.THE THIRD PARTY,
There is, perhaps, not a shrewder
statesman in the ranks of Georgia
farmers than Major Ryals, the able
i representative from Chatham in the
voice, and a manner which evidences Georgia Legislature. He is also a

Her health has never been good,

sense an invalid. Her mother pays
tribute to her as *‘ibe best and dear

on his deadobed, said that she had

In company with Drs. Goss, Bene
dict and Gerdine, the reporter called at
the Hubbard house last night to see this
wonderful child.
It was truly a sight to see. Onl
five years old and yet a good heavy
for a man.
Hei name is Amber Glenn Corley,
, and she was bom June 20, 1886, At
i birth she weighed eight pounds; at the
age of twelve months, she weighed only
I six pounds and at the age of three years
| only fifteen pounds. During this time
I her parents thought they would lose
I her, but after that She commenced to
‘ fatten and has grown to the enormous
weight of one hundred and fifteen
I pounds.
Tbe child was measured by one of
the physicians last night, and tbe meas
ureuients were as follows:
Chest 36 inches; Waist 39 inches;
Across the Bhonlders 14 inohes; height
43 inches; around the am one root;
around the head 21 inches. 1
The doctors examined the child
thoroughly, and pronounced her well-
developed and of splendid proportions,
there being no abnormal development.
The child is perfectly healthy, and
h< r parents are both small people.
She was asked which one of the gen-
t omen was the oldest and immediately
sud.lb-d her answer on the hopeless re
porter.
Mr Corley will be at the Hubbard
House for a few days and will have the
child on exhibition there.
