Small pox is still raging in Atlanta.
Private communications tell us that
new cases are daily, developing, and
siothing like the truth, in regard to it,
is told in the city papers.
It is reported that certain physicians
are either advising ot practicing inoe
culation with small pox virus in pref
erence to submitting to vaccination,
whereupon the Post Appeal publishes
a section from the code as a warning.
Col. McKibben is attending United
States court at Macon. No one enjoys
a more extensive and lucrative prac
tice in all the courts than the Colonel.
Judge James Hnrkness has some
friends who express a desire that he
represent Butts county in the next leg

citizens, and doubtless understands the
needs and wants of our people.
The Benton House still keeps up to a
good standard, and is being renovated
and furnished with some nice furni
ture and fixtures. Everythingis kept as
neat as a pin, all of which is due to
the industry of Mrs. Benton and her
charming daughters.
We are sorry to learn that Mr.
Cloud’s kill of a hundred thousand
brick have proven to be a failure.
The failure is said to he due to defects
in the clay of which they are made.
He is on the lookout for better and

another hundred thousand ready for
the torch. We wish him better suc
cess nex time.

Catching on that occasion, and cordi
ally invite him to participate.
Speaking dancin fishing eating and
smoking will he the order of the day.
A larje crowd will be present.
Mr. Editor : lam not accustomed
j to'writing for public gaxetts, and from
'’inexperience in this, can not hope to
•eritertain the readers to youripaper .
'yet, I feel constrained to ask space of
you to make mention 'of the Sabbath
School celebration heltimt the BapiMt
church on last Saturday. IPrefUcing
this with the remark that Jackson nev
er does things by halves, and by saying
“Jackson," I mean and include its sur
rounding community, for we are link
ed together’by those social ties which
4how that (Jackson strickly, and the
tgood people around are one and the
same.
According to announcement, the
bell tolled at ten o’clock a. mi. and
ere this, a large crowd'ofsparetits, chil
dren giddy and gay, had assenibled at
the church and grove arobnli.
Singing hy the choir, of some very
select music, led by that talented and
accomplished lady, Mrs. ‘L. 'D. Wat
son, assembled the crowd in the church,
which had been beautifully decorated
by the -good ladies of 'the Sabbath
School. Prayer Was offered by Judge
James F. 'Carmichael, "suitable to the
occasion, imploring (Him who pre
sides over the destinies of nations to
smile upon the festivities of the day
which was most assuredly answered ns
'the-squill told. The oretor of'the'day,
Col. E. P. Catching*, was then conducted
down the aisle to the speaker’s stand
and introduced to the waiting audi
ence. He, while we are proud to claim
a citizen, is comparitively a stranger,
having just come into oar midst. Many
eyes turned anxiously to him, and
many soon saw from the coo!'defiber-
R’te ’manner of address' that (he was at
himself, and truly he was. Fie dwelt
upon theorigen of Mayday celebration,
tiie < hanges in its observance, the uni
versality of the same among a'fl na
tions,the present time <tc., eu&ng with
peroation teeming with beaufifSa lan
guage, unequeled in sentiment, and
'made impressive by the oritortcivl pow
ers of the speaker. His audience sat
ill breathless silence and were loth to
let him leave the statifi.
After some appropriate remarks by
the efficient Superintendent, he Who
has so long thrown into our Sunday
Sdliool his whole sottl, and to 'tv'h’O'm
its .present progress ft'ftd standing is so
largely due, Col. M. V. McKibben, the
audience repaired to the grove where
many tables were ladcned with sub
stantial* and delicacies, (the prepara
tion of which is unkown to the culina
ry art of “ bachelors ”) and all eat
and drank to hearts content. Then
the children surrounded their Supcr
intenent, and Jack-a-Mcßingold, Mol
ly Bright, “ Chick-anift-CranyOrow,”.
and many other plaj% to their 'com
plete enjoyiwet, irot'e indulged in, af
ter which a line of mnnefe was com
menced for the new railroad, t’he’build
ing of which was new to both old and
young. So emted a •day tong to be re
membered.
Silence.
Towaliga.
It is is said that Mr. Vine McElha
ney lias a field of the finest wheat in
Towaliga district.
It Is thought that Judge Hammond ‘
would make us a good representative.
Age is not without its claim*.
It is said that Rev. Mr. Quigg, of
Conyers, will preach at Fellowship
church, the fifth Sunday in July. We
will be wishing for a “ lift i ” in each
month.
Mrs. P. A. Ilamil, who has been on
the Sand Mountain, since October, has
returned home. She reports hard times
and thinks the people here are well to
do.
One of our Sabbath School classes,
which was composed of married and
unmarried persons, being too large a
division was proposed. We were nti
first puzzled as to how to divide ; but
one of the members being more
thoughtful than others, suggested that
the married persons compose one class,
and the unmarried, another. Instead
of numbering these classes, I think
they ought to be known as the mar
ried and the unmarried class; but the
unmarried would be continually trying
to get into the married class.
Prof. Woodward and Miss McElhe
ney, have suspended their schools, and
we learn that Miss Bennett will soon
suspend hers.
Our schools are run to suit the re
quirements of the farm. Vacation is
given at times when labor is in great
demand JFe suppose this is done to
enable the pupils to defray their own
expenses. Under this system, I don.t
see why any boy-, who is not large
enough to make a regular plow hand,
should not be allowed to go to school
six months in the year. One drawback,
is, the poor, uncomfortable school
houses, which are, ns a rule, unfit to
hold school in during the winter.
There are two seasons during the year,
in which country schools must give
way to “King Cotton,” and if the far
mer boy misses the winter months, his
schooling is cut short. So let us have
good school houses, and the boys, in
winter, instead of wanting to go to town
or hunting, will be going to school.

A !MY OF UEJCHOIKH
The New Rond Conqileied
to Jackson.
'Last Friday and Saturdhy will ’long
'be remembered by the peoplcofthis
section, as a time of rejoicing brought
about by the completion of the new
road to this point, and the sight of the
first train at Jackson. Since the cars
crossed Towaliga river, several days
ago, large crowd of people, earth day,
come from a distance to witness, to
them, the novelty of’track laying as 'it
progresses ath-he 'rate of one mile to a
mile and a quarter'per day, Last Sa
turday the track Was 'finished, leaving
Jackson one mile in the ‘rear; and from
early dawn ’till late in thedlay, people,
both black and white, young and old,
male and female, rich and podr, Were
coming and going to see the cars,
would require too much space to en
ter into elaborate details of the occa
sion, and express the appreciation and
inthusiasm manifested by our people,
at the thoughts of having commu
nication with the outside world, by
means of electricity and a “great trunk
railway”extending from themountains
of the North-West to the Seaboard.
The ~track laying machine” is very
simple ; it is simply a contrivance for
rappidly unloading the iron and ties.
A number of flat cars are used with an
enjine attached to the rear ; the first
three cars in front, where the track is
being laid, are loaded with spikes and
iron ; the other cars with cross ‘tiles
which are unloaded onto a number‘of
pullies or rolers in frames, projecting
from the cars and extending from the
rear of the train, with a downward el
evation to the front of the train, where
the ties, as fast as they roll down to
the end, are taken oft'by a number of
hands and placed in position on the
roadbed. The iron is conveyed in like
manne'r'Oii'the uposite side of the train.
This is done as fast as two or'three
hands to the car can keep a continuous
train of ties moving on these rolers.
The iron is spiked down as fast as the
ties are laid, and the’train is shoved up
a car-length every dor 4 minutes with
out Tnterfereing With the progress of
the work. Fhe work is done entirely
with Convicts, and they are so thor
oughly drilled, that everything moves
along like clock work.
A sidetrack has been put in and the
camps moved to this place. We did not
have the pleasure of meeting Mr. King,
Superintendent of track construction,
but he is spoken of hy our citizens, as
being a cleaver, social and accommo
dating gentleman. We learn that he
said there would be Tro Tegular trains,
wf any kind, put on the road from Ma
con to Indian Springs, or to any other
point TVn’til the road is fin inshed. Mr.
King was anxious for a photograph of
the construction train and convicts; as
it was the first. und only railroad laid
entirely with convicts and a ‘‘ma
chine,” he said a good photograph
would be appreciated and purchased
by those engaged in building the road.
Mr. Ileuderson, our artist-, repaired to
where the work Was progressing, on
Saturday, with his instrument, With
the assurance that work Would he sus
pended a few Seconds, to allow him to
make a view of the entire train and
convicts. But to his surprise the in
human “nincompoop” in charge of the
convicts, who, it is said, by no means
has won an enviable reputation, among
the people of Butts, ashi gentleman of
urbane manners, refused to allow the
poor shackled,, hardworking prisoners
to stop 5 or 10 seconds to have the pic
ture taken ; his ungentlemnnly and in
sulting language to some of ourTjti
zens of the county, because they come
to see the railroad, judging from what
we have heard, did not take very well,
and he had better “go slow” during his
sojourn on Butts county soil. How
ever, regardless of this “ King of the
convict camp,” otir artist succeeded in
making “on the wing” two very good
views of the train and the convicts.
The sub-“boss<ee” looked vicious like
a sheep, hut to no avail, and if it had oc
curred to him, lie doubtless would have
fairly danced a jig to have spoiled his
picture in the scene.
The long trestle was finished across
Yellow JFnter crock hist Sunday, and
track laying wits resumbed bright and
early on Monday morning. There is
nothing to prevent them from moving
right along to McDonough, which place
they will reach, if the weather contin
ues favorable, in a few days.
In the afternoon, Saturday last, the
darkies gathered on the square and
celebrated the occasion with comic
songs, banjo solos and a regular plan
tation walk around and clog dancing.
They seemed much enthused and ela
ted with the idea that “ negroes and
mule built the railroad.”
U r e learn that track laying has been
commenced al Atlanta, on tbe Exten
sion, coming this way.

Doyal’s Statement.
We coppy from the Griffin News, the
statement of Doyal, the murderer of
Hftndcock, whose trial was had in the
Superior Court of Spalding county, last
week :
On the Saturday night preceding the
difficulty, I and Tom Davis and oth
ers were drinking and going around to
billiard rooms Ac., and Davis and I
finally went to his house and went to
bed. About 8 o’clock Sunday mor
ning we got up and went down togeth
er lo get a drink. We got one and
that was all, and walked up Hill street,
and while Davis went down an alley, I
walked to the stair case leading up
over Ilesselkus & Pattriek’s and lean
ing up in the entrance waiting forhim.
He did not come quick enough, and I
started behind McKee’s harness shop
after him. Mark Hancock, Chas. Ison
and someone else were standing in
front of Lower’s shop talking. Just as
I went to turn the corner, Hancock
walked up in an abrupt way and said,
“You get off these streets, or I will put
you in the guard house.” and he jerk
ed me along. I never resisted, but he
called Charlie Ison, and we past on
down the alley between Morris and
Clark’s storo. I asked why they had
picked me up. Hancock raised his
club and said. “You d—n scoundrel,
you have been tantalizing me for some
time.” I said, “You will not hit me."
This was at 9 o’clock in the morning,
he locked me in the guard house—and
never give me water. A gentleman,
Ben. Lutrall, stepped into the engine
house next door, and I asked him for
some water and he passed it to me. I
asked him to see Charlie Doe and Mr.
White, to have them get me out, which
was done. I Went up street and never
said anything to Hancock. I was mad,
though I never told anybody that I
would kill Hancock. I went on up
town and joined a crowd, and stayed
and got a drink or two, lnit never said
anything to anybody about the matter.
Next morning a gentleman told me to
watch outfur Hancock. I asked him
the reason, and he said he was a bad
man ; but! never said anything about
it to anybody. I was about town dur
-1 ing tbe week and met Hancock sever
al times. Invoke to him politely and
he gave ms a severe rebuke, which
confirmed ray idea that he would kill
me. I neva- said anything to any
body about it. Friday night I left on
business dotfn in Pike county. I came
back the next day and Hancock was
off duty. 1 knocked about on Hill
street in tbe afternoon and never saw
him until 4 o’clock. A gentleman
sent me with a note for a pistol; I
could not get R and told him that I
would borrow one. I went down to
Dock Json’i and across to the Globe
RaldOO. I tnsrm the weapou was thorn
because I lhft ; it there. I walked out
and stepped down Ott the 1 platform in
front, walking towards Goddard’s, go
‘ irfg diagonally across, with "my head
down. The first 1 saw of Hancock hre
accosted mo with, “You 'have been
talking'about me, G—d d —n you, long
enough'” ; T stepped back slotidy and
'toldhim 1 to'Stop. He put his hand tip
•here (indicaiing'his rear hip-pocket).
'I kmwv'Hancock Wfts a violent man,
having heard' ofit'in sevOral'ilmtances.
[Witness'here gave an timber of instan
ces.) I have also seen liim'Use his
club. Hancock and me were never lit
outs particularly. I prilicell (hr him
and others. When I kr|it balking he
kept coining and told me he was off
dlit.v now and it would have to'be set
tled lip. I says, "Mark, I Will hurt
you." fie fihdlly said. "D—n yOh, you
have drawn- it on me, and ydu will
have jo use it.” His hand WSW up to
ward his hip pocket, which Was the
first thing that caused me to draw the,
repeater. As I ffred Hancock turned
to the right, and he threw his hands
here (to his stomach). As I did it, I
cocked repeater and kept moving back.
As 1 saw he was not coming to me, I
pulled the repeaterblow and shot it off.
The crowd followed lire and I surren
dered, after running'do'Wn the alley.
Nobody was Ipresent when I wire'put
in the guard house except Ison and
H'ttilCodk.
Hancock evidently intended Vio
lence. I kept stepping back. I knew
lie kept a 'pistol 'in his pocket.
The State ‘introduced the following
evidence in Tdbu'tltivl 'Of 'the prisoner’s
statement :
'Col. Johnson, diroet —'Remember the
occasion ; saw Doyal Yin Saturday
evening pretty late on the street; about
ten steps from the well. Doyal Ipassed
me ; he was going fforft Clark’s corner
to‘Ohal'lie Whitson's; ns he passed me
says he, “I’ll get him did not appear
lobe mud ; I walked in about five
steps, 'heard a pistol and turned ; It
was not more than two or three min
utes between ; when I heard pistol I
whirled around and saw a man turned
from Doyal ; Doyal was holding a pis
tol in his hand, fired second shot at ‘re
treating man.
This closed the Whole testimony in
the case.
The court adjourned nanttil 8 o,clock
this Morning.
Correspondent of the Mnoon Tele
graph Messenger says ; Major Sam-.
pie accofuparded us on the down tiip
and Irom him we learned that the
construction company will, unless
prevented by a long 'chapter of acci
dents, floods, etc, tut n over the rood
to the owners about the latter part ot
June. The progress has been s'ow.
up to t'nis time, owing to the tael that
we have just passed through a season
ol heavy rains,whioh destroy in a sin
gle night the Work of Weeks. Their
labor force Iras not hern thoroughly
organized until now. In the com
mencement of the work they relied
upon the average hand picked up
anywhere, These men worked until
they drew their wages, and then
they wore off Thus for a long time
they were dealing with new hands,
and often only half a force.
They now have a full force of con
vic's whoeaunol conveniently leave
whenever they want to, and who
Lave now bee me good workmen,
and the construction company are
now able to lay, with the track lay
ing about 6,000 feet of track
a day. The gang of aervk.se men fol -
low up the track layers and pack and
seit'e the dirt. They also watch lor
every caved-iu or washout, and are
constantly employed at thia kind of
duly.
The toad will be completed to At
lanta by the first ot June. It will
then require the months of Jun* and
July to arrange side-tracks, build de
pots and prepare schedules. By Au
gust regular trains will be running,
and the river rout opened. Shipinei-tH
of crossti>s h-rve already been made
to A'lanta, and the yard tracks are
now being laid.
As to running a train to Indian
Springs bef->-e the regular chediilt s
ia pul on, Major Sample was imt cer
tain that it could be done. Of one
tiling e may be sure, if.it can be
done the train will be put on each
Sunday morning, and as it returns in
the afternoon one can stay n week,
gdng one Sunday and coming back,
the next,
New engines and cars are being
purchased for the new road. The
company now owns nearly 300 new
Oil flat oars, a large number of freight
boxes and several engines By Au
gust the road will be fully equipped
and reaily for frei hi and passengers.
The track, as far as settled, is in
fine condition. We rowled over it
t the iHte of thirty miles an hour,
and experienced not the slighte t jolt,
Tbe trestles and * ridges have been
built with extraordinary care, tbe
bridge over Towaliga river being ns
fine a truss tructure as one would
care to gee. Along the inae,-lire {da
ces near the river hank, cribbing in
l ing done, which holds the imhak
ment, and this will be strengthened
by a liver wall.
Along the line of the road are seen
lai ge heaps of slone querried out of
tti‘cuts. This stone will be crushed
and used for ballas ing tbe track.
From one end of the line to the
olher gangs of workmen are aeen fill
ing in, cribbing, repairing breaks
etc. At the front the convict*, a* so
many bees, and if there are no heavy
set-backs, will makegood the prom
ise to have the line through to At
lanta by June.
