THE FIRST TRAIN.
From the MaCon Telegraph and- Messenger.
“You’ll find him in room 58,” said
George Brow.:, as tve ran our eye over
the register at Brown’s Hotel yesterday
afternoon.
“Come in,” was the answer to our
rap on the door of 68, and in we walk
ed.
“When did you leave Atlanta, Ma
jor ?” This was the first question
thrown at Maj. McCracken, whom we
found in the room,
“We loft at 8 o’clock this morning,
but we have consumed the day in lo
cating sites for depots,sidetracks, etc.,
besides we wanted to examine the road.
The road from here to Stockbridge is
in condition to run thirty miles an
hour over, and we will soon have the
other portion of the road in a like con
dition.”
“How did you like the road?”
“Fine. It is all right, and I am pleat
ed with it. How do you like it, Beat
ty ?”
The Major addressed this question to
Captain Miles X. Beatty, the assistant
superintendent of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railroad.
“Splendidly,” replied the Captain.
“When will the regular trains be put
on ?”
“By the 15th. I stated in my dis
patch last night to you that it would be
the 20th, but I am not quite certain
the trains will be running through by
the loth. At least I intend to do all
I can for it.”
“You are now running to McDon
ough, Major. Will the next schedule
go to the next station, or to Atlanta ?”
“There will he no change until we
go right into Atlanta.”
“How has travel been on the present
schedule ?'*
“Oh, well, it pays about forty dollars
a day. We have no doubt but the
travel will he great. You know we
have not carried a pound of freight
yet.”
“Can you give us any information
about the Rome division ?”
“Yes. I have just received a tele
gram from Sample, in which he says
that the force is getting along very well
with the tunnel. With the exception
of these three miles of tunneling we
arc getting along finely, and the Rome
division will he through by the 10th of
August, which wiil complete the line.”
“One more question, -Major. Is the
rolling stock ready for business?”
“Everything ready. Ad the rolling
stock necessary is at Knoxville, lie
have thirteen engines at work on the
construction now.”
“How long do you stay in Macon?”
“We return to.morrow. Redid not
finish onr business along the road, and
have so much to do before the 15th
that we have not a moment to spare.”
Our reporter then went down stairs
and struck up Ruth Col, NY. L. King,
the veteran ,:aok-Uy<-r.
" Well, you helped Col. Adair drive
the last spike yesterday.” This by way
of a conversation-opener.
“I did. I helped make the connec
tion, and I am proud to know that the
work is so far advanced.”
“When did you commence laying
the track of the new road ?”
“I commenced on the 17th of last
January, but I puckered around here
some time getting ready to start. On
the 22J day of January we had the
track laid across Fifth street, and then
we went right on, but you know tmirli
rainy weather we had. IKe havn’t had
ninety good days to work in. I've got
a good force of hands, and I did some
big track-laying yesterday. By actual
time, my men put down and spiked
and got ready for the ears 1,350 feet in
one hour and thirty-five minutes. On
another count we laid 4,050 feet in five
hours and fifteen minutes.”
“That was when you were hurrying I
up to drive the last spike ?”
‘ Yes. My hands had 2.400 feet to
lay, and the contractor at Atlanta had
800.' I was working convict hands that
I had trained, and he had regular
hands I beat him one rail. By the
way, let me introduce you to Mr. Frank
Reid, one of our conductors.”
Handshaking.
“Mr. Reid, came from the Cincinnati
Southern, and has been with us some
time. He and T. m Ware will take
care of the passengers.”
‘‘When will you turn over the road
to tlie company ?”
“That I don’t know. We will work
in a hurry to put the road in good safe
condition.”
“Where will you go then ?”
“I will remain with the road as road
master. I want to live and die right
here in Georgia. I like the old State
mighty well, and the climate just sui ts
me; hut I have fought mud and rain
awfully sine* I commenced work. Yes,
I will stick to the road.”
The special train left Atlanta yester
day morning at 8 o’clock, and we reach
ed Macon about G o’clock p. ill., stop
ped at all the stations and arranged
sites for depots at once for the imme
diate transaction of business, show
ing their great desire to get the road
ready for the public at the earliest pos
sible moment.
In the party that carnc down were
Major H. V. McCracken, his secretary
Mr. W. M. IMeKown, C'api. M. X.
Beatty, Col. W. L. King and Col. Geo.
Adair, the real estate men of Atlanta.
They were all at Brown’s Hotel last
night. ...
At the supply yard, we noticed that
the yard was clear of rails and cross
lies.* It will be remembered that the
supplies of rails and cross-ties for the
entire line were piled up in the yard
before the work of construction com
menced. Just to see how closely these
railroad builders can calculate, we in
quired of Major Storey if they had miss
ed the calculation any.
“Not by a rail. The company knew
exactly how many rails and bow many
lies were wanted, and there is not a
single rail nr tie over. We have here
apout 5,0*10 ties in the yard, but they
are needed for the side tracks.”
And then our reporter went away,
believing that railroad building is a
t-i"ger thin- than it look*.

The Center of Attraction in
Biddle Georgia.
Some t'oiuh.
That Jackson, the county site of
Butts county, Ga., is tiie most favored
of any section, at this timo in Middle
Georgia, is evinced Joy the fact, that
people from all over the State have got
their minds centered here, and many
who visit us are buying property, and
speak in the highest terms of the town
and surrounding country. Jackson is
centrally located between Macon and
Atlanta, and the only place, in a com
mercial point of view, of any impor
tance on the Macon and Brunswick
railroad Extension, and situated on
the highest elevation of any town in
this sectiou, which makes its site a
commanding one ns regards this sec
tion of Georgia. A level, fertile soil
surrounds us, and the healthfulness of
the locality, pure water, good drainage
and no cesspools of filthy water sur
rounding us is beyond question.
Jackson has four churches, colored
and white, respectively fl/ethodist and
Baptist. In addition to good primary
schools, a move is on foot to establish
a high school, with one of the most
eminent teachers of a Georgia college
as principal. Strenuous efforts will he
made to build a nice college, in the
beautiful grove where the academy now
stands, the work of which, we think we
are safe in saying, will be commenced
as soon as material can be had.
Thebusiness portion of Jackson si sit
uated about a half mile from the rail
road. Substantial brick stores being
much safer from fire and beautifying
to the town, our council have past a
wise law, prohibiting any wood struc
tures from being erected in the busi
ness portion of the town. Several
brick stores are in course of erection,
and many more will soon follow. Sev
eral brick yards are doing a thriving
business. A large lumber yard and
machine shop will soon be established.
Our boarding houses cannot supply
the demand made upon them. Onr
merchants, professional men, and citi
zens generally, are inteligcnt, courte
ous and enterprising.
Butts will rank with the best agri
cultural counties in the State. Her
citizens arc of the very best class of
Georgia farmers—men who by honest
toil have surrounded themselves with
most of the comforts and luxuries of
life. While the cerealia, cotton etc.,
are made their staple crops, you have
but to look around ami observe that
they do not neglect their orchards,
vineyards, beehives and other indus
tries that go to make up the comforts
of a country home in this land of “milk
and honey.” The soil of our county,
overlying a subsoil of clay, is princi
pally of a dark, rich color. Clay ren
ders land of unlimited improvement by
holding the fertilizers put upon it. The
crops of this section are larger than for
several years past, and if continued to
he blessed with copius rains, those yet
to ripen will yield in abundance, and it
maybe said “peace and plenty crown
thesmiling land.”
The railroad is now completed from
Atlanta to J/acon,giving usdirect com
munication with Atlanta, and more
direct outlet to the West. lie invite
all in search of a pleasant, attractive
and as healthy a home as could be de
sired or secured in all the country to
come to Jackson, now the most favored
spot in Georgia. We have the pretti
est location for a town that could be
desired, if health, wealth, society, a
railroad and beautiful, level fertile soil
is of any inducements.
Major McCracken, and others passed
down the Extension, last week, on the
first train that come through from At
lanta. JFe learn lie expressed himself
well pleased with the road. We learn
the site for the depot at J/cDonough is
abootahalf mile this side of the town ;
at Locust Grove, one mile the other
side, where Mr. Adair purchased a lot
of land. The depot at Jackson will be
located about two hundred yards south
of Altnands brickyard, on the right of
way. We learn a big excursion will lie
run about the2otli and the freight trains
will be put on by that time or before.
Over two hundred hands are at work
on the long trestle beyond McDonough.
You can rest assured that Maj. Mc-
Cracken will give all the accommoda
tion desired as soon as the road will
admit of it.

A Visit to Jackson.
From the Conyers Examiner.
On Mondayjof last week, ye Edit
or boarded the “mule train" of Capl-
Loyd, the mail carrier, at Covington
for the town ot’Jackson, Butts coun
ty. The mail, route between Coving
ton and ,/acksoii is through the best
farming section of both Newton ami
Butts counties, and along the entile
route the growing crops gave encour
aging evidences o! fine seasons and
the prospect tor an abundant harvest
next fall. It was particularly notic
able that a much larger area lias been
devoted to the raising of breads!tiffs
than for a number of years past, and
the bi oad fields of _ waving corn re
minded us of the good old days when
the farmers ot Georgia were indepen
dent of the West, and luxuriated in
the “bog and hominy” of their own
production. After a pleasant days
drive with Capt. Loyd, an unfortu
nate who lost his right arm in fight
ing tile batiks of the “lost cause” in
Virginia,[but who is cne of the most
genial companions with whom we ev
er had the pleasure of traveling w ith,
we arrived at ./ackson about 5 o'clock
p. m., and look up quarters w ith the
Editor of the News, which, by-tlie
way. is the head centre of the town,
the News and Post Office being in
the same building.
While in Jackson we had the n’cas
uro ot making the acquaintance of
some of the leading citizens, among
whom was Col. Van JMcKibben, the
leading lawyer of Butts county, ns
well its among the foremost gentle
men of means and public spirit whose
energy and enterprise will largely
contribute to the making of Jackson,'
one of the principal towns of Middle
Georgia at no distant day. A daily
passenger train is now run ovor the
Brunswick Extension and hardly a
day pB< 8 that strangers are not in
town prospecting for business lots
with the view of locating and build
ing up the town. The only draw
back that hampers life advancement to
,/aekson, at present, is tie scarcity of
lumber, hut that want will soon be
relieved when the roil road commen
ces to transport freight. Our enter
prising fellow citiz >n, 11. I*. Almand,
will commence, in a few days, to erect
three commodious business bouses,
the brick for which are already on
the ground ready for us>, and when
the freight trait • are put upon the
road, such a building boom will take
place it. Jackson that has not been
witnessed in that section for a eeutu
ry.
Among the genial acquaintances
that we had the pleasure of making
while at Jackson, was ,/iidge H-irk
ness, fami iarly known as “Uncle./ini’
one of the original settlers of Butts
county, who lias beer a tesident ol
that comity for upwards of sixty
years having carved his own fortune
by industry and frugality, and ranks
among the most substantial cilzens of
of the comity and has filled many po
sitions of trust and honor, among
which maybe mentioned t lie Repre
sentative of Butts in the Legislature
more than once. Wo also made the
acquaintance of Messrs. Land, M. L
Duke, Col. Wright, and others, gen
tlemen of progressive ideas who are
devoliug their energies to building
up the town. The principal topics of
discussion were the future prospects
of ,/Jcksou and the stock law, which
question Hie citizens of Butts will
vote upon on the 19th ol July. We
were unable to guess at the probabil
ities of the no fence party, as the
question is represented by responsi
ble and influential citizens on both
sides. It is a noticeable I act, howev
er, that Butts county almunda with
numerous herds of fat, s eek cattle,
sheep and hogs, that gra/.s upon the
nninclosed lands, and that there is no
scarcity of timber—probably one-ball
the county being orig nal forest.
On Sunday wo bid adieu to our
friends in Jackson and traveled by
| prevate conveyance to Hampton, 2 i
| miles distant, across the b*st portion
‘of Henry county, and along t he rouie
we saw many valuable fains with
flourishing crops. The no fence lwa
being in force, quite a lumber ol
farms were '‘tin ned out,” and we on
ly saw in the distance we traveled in
Henry, hut one cow and calf, not
even a hog, sheep or goat. We pre
sume. however, that the eirciinstance
wat owing to the fact that tie stock
pastures were not located insight ol
the road we traveled.

Postmaster Conley of Atlanta bas

Postmaster General instructions to
the effect that on and after Saturday
last, whoever any short paid matter
[being otherwise mailable] is deposit,
ed in a free delivery effico and con.
signed to any address within the
United States, it shall bo the duty
ot the postmaster to send an official
postal card to the addressed, notify*

is necessary fov him to remit the
amount ot postage due thereon before
same can be fm warded to destination.
Hitherto-carriers have delivered such
mail, and acted as collectors lor the
deficient postage. This provision
will apply only to matter which does

A Magdalen wrote a few days
since to a daily paper in one ot our
large cities to know who would as
sist her to rotorm. Unhappily the
question is hard to answer, though it
will be conced'd by all that help
must conib from virtuous women. So
eieiy bears down hard on the wo

who treat lit r with the greatest se
verity. Women are very much like
the Siperian wolves; when one of
their number is shot down the rest

less there are hundreds ot these poor

instanced, are anxious to get hack
into the right path, and are holding
