Without them there can be nothing but absolute stagnation, with them there la every chance of a rapid and healthy growth. The days have passed when any place with the slightest pretensions to com mercial importance can depend on - a wagon trade to maintain its place in the ranks of commerce. Be the influence of its merchants ever so powerful, . or far reaching, and their energy ever so tire less, the trade that they perhaps deserve wiU undoubtedly seek the places where the facilities for transportation are the best. Every town that is grooving sees the T (E M M C^CHATTANOOQA / necessity of these feeders and all are making tremendous efforts to secure them. The evidence of these efforts can be seen in the daily record of the news papers and the statistics of construction that show a wonderful increase in the mileage day by day and year by year; 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 erally it is a very risky experiment for one road to run through anothers terri tory over almost identical routes. How ever that may be, the North, for the time at least, seems to have stopped building roads, and it is in the Sunny South that the greatest progress is be ing made in that way. Here there seems to be no end to rail road construction, the whole country is alive to their necessity, and every day .m A WAR STORY.

The old field is today the hallowed resting place of many of the brave con federate soldiers who fell in the famous 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 Besaca. tie was dearly beloved by bis com rades, and they gave him a little better burial than usually falls to the lot of those who die upon the field of battle. With rough boards taken from the bridge near by they made him a rude coffin and tenderly and lovingly placed uim under the sod.

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.

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.
