It may be set down as an axiom that

making tremendous efforts to secure

be seen in the daily record of the news
papers and the statistics of construction
that show a wonderful increase in the

The great and populous North with
its cities in every county, and towns in
every mile or more, seems to have al
most reached the end of its railroad con
struction. Where there are so many
roads it is Almost' an impossibility to
construct newlines without parallelling
for almost the whole length of the roads
and that,' as railroad history teaches, is
almost certain loss to one or the other
of the competing lines, save in excep
tional instances. For instance, when the
volumn of travel between two points is
so great that one line can not handle it
properly, then another can come in and
take a hand in the business, bat gen

one road to run through anothers terri

One of the bloodiest battles fought on

that of Resaca.
The old field is today the hallowed
resting place of many of the brave con

battle.
Among the many patriotic youths
who took arms in defense of southern
independence ere the beard had begun
to grow upon their faces, was the
eighteen year old son of Mr. Jethro
Jackson, of Griffin, Ga., and the brave
boy met his death at the battle of

It was sometime in the spring of 1866
that Mr. Jethro Jackson went to Resa
ca to look for - the grave of bis son.
Like many others he wished to find the
remains, and to take them to Griffin
and inter them in the family burying
ground.
The comrades who laid young Jack-
son to rest gave the father a description
of the spot where they buried him, tell
ing him ahout the rude pine coffin made
from the boards taken from the bridge.
After many days of tireless search
Mr. Jackson failed to locate bis son’s
grave, and returned to his home in
Griffin.
A few nights after his return he
dreamed that bis son came to him aud
pointed out the spot where he was bur
ied. The dream-was like a vision. He
saw his son standing beside hia bed and
heard him say:
“Father, 1 am buried under a mound
which was thrown up by the vankees
after I was killed. You will know the
mound when you see it by the poke-
berry bushes growing upon it. Go

THE GEORGIA.
The Georgia railroad was the first road
to enter the confines of Athens, and
since the day the last spike was driven
here, has done a wonderful business. It
runs through a remarkably rich territory
from here to Union Point where it con
nects with the main line of the Georgia
railroad from Augusta to Atlanta. The
Georgia is considered the safest of all
safe roads, and during the whole time of
its existence has never killed a passen
ger. The connection with Augusta
gives an almost direct line to Savannah
and the coast, a line that is appreciated
by the travelling and shipping public..
THE GEOBdtA CAROLINA A NORTHERN.
The G. C. A N. is now under coarse of
construction, and is being built in such
a solid and substantial way that it is at
tracting the attention of railroad men
all over the country. It is owned by the
Seaboard A Roanoke system, at whose
head is Mr. Jno. Robinson. When the
G. C. A N. is completed it will he one of
the most important feeders of the city
and affords one more connection to the
North. This will forever prevent any
attempt at “bottling” by rival systems
and place Athens where she should be,
in absolute command of the situation.
The road will soon be finished and then
Athens will indeed be the queen of all
North-East Georgia.
THE GEORGIA MIDLAND.
Mention the Georgia Midland and at
once the attention of any Athenian is
secured. The road is being worked for
night and day, and it is only a question
of a short time before it will be another
feeder to Athens’ already large trade.
It is now completed from Columbus, Ga.,
to McDonough, and the present plan is
to bring it on to Athens, where, aside
j from the business it will gain from the
name which was on the clothing.
