OUR TOWN corxrru *'
-
111 view of the reasonable certain
ty of the competition of the Macon
and Brunswick exten.-ion, and its
equally certain effect upon the fu
ture of our town a palpable duty
presents itself to ou r Jntendant and
commissioners. We say palpable,
because it so appears to our mind,
and wc further say it is an urgent and
immediate duty. The streets ac
cording to the original “platting“
ol our town should be retraced de
fined and named : The urgency of
this duty may not present itself to
tho minds ot others as it does to us,
and the fear of encountering opposi
tion may cause this coun
cil to sit supinely and let this
defficultly go over to their succes
sors. If however the duty is ur
gent, it is a simple shirking for the
present council not to act and to
act with decision. Why then is this
duty an urgent one? It is urgent,
li. t, because u . is our in questioned
advantage, to ha\e our town built
up on > regular and systematic plan;
secondly it is better for the twesent
owners of land tc know the lines of
th : streets and the limits of their
lots, so that if they desire to improve
them they may not trench upon the
public domain; thirdly, It is bet
ter for those who desire to sell and
those who may wish to purchase,
that tho location and limits cf lots
should be known, for who would
wish to sell not knowing what he is
parting with or to buy not knowing
what he U getting; and fourthly, it
is better or decisive and immediate
action, because ii, is less difficult
and unjust tc settle at Lie begining
of what we believe is the \ rospor
oub career of the Indian Sp ring, dl
questions of disputed boundaries
must Accessary become vexed and
complicated with the growth of in
terests and population.
To act now shows an appreciation
of the situation and a confidence in
our future. Wo understand that
concil has adjourned until Septem
ber, will the board to consider what
we have suggested? We shall deem
it our duty again and again to call
attention to this matter, as in our
judgement it is most important.
It has been derisively said that the
rock-curbing of our public well is
the only monument, that any of our
councils have left themselves. Shall
such a reproach still obtain with
the close of this year?
HE “KNOWED” IT WAS COM
ING.
A good story is told of a farmer
down in the lower part of this
.countv. He was with liig wfie
traveling in a buggy last week,
w T hen he was startled to see by the
roadside some tents pitched and
some men in and around them. He
pulled up his horse and eagerly in
quired what was the matter. He
was answered by a wag that there
was another war and the whole
country was in an uprising. Fright
ened out of his wits, the country
man turned to his wife and said:
“There, by gosh ! I told you so.
When I seed that star with a tail to
it in the element I was afeared of
just sicli a thing as war. I knowed
it was coming. Mary, let’s git
back home.” And they “got.” It
turned out that the people in the
tents were a surveying party of the
Macon and Brunswick road.

TENSION —Tiro WORK TO GO
AHEAD AT ONCE. *
A representative of the Atlanta
Constitution called at the rooms of
the Cincinnati and Georgia railroad
company yesterday afternoon, and
found Colonel McCracken, the su
perintendant of construction, busy
with a number of contractors. As
soon as he could get a moment of
leisnre he said:
“I have just closed contracts tor
every foot of the .Macon extension
of our road, and the contractors will
get to work immediately and attack
the road in a dozen places at once.
In two weeks the whole line from
here to Macon will be alive with
men and wagons.”
“Who are the principal contrac
tors?”
“There are several. The Messrs.
Condon, who built a large part of
the Cincinnati Southern and Knox
ville and Ohio, have signed the
contract for sixty-seven miles. Cap
tain W. D. Grant has the contract
for fourteen miles, which include
the heaviest work on the road. He
heaviest work, so that
he would not be compelled to move
his heavy force. Mr. Bat Lyneli
has the contract for seven miles,
the nearest to the city of Atlanta.
Colonel J. W. Renfroe has a con
tract to start at Macon and go eight
miles, with the privilege of more.”
These gentlemen are, most of
them, prepared for the work, and
their contracts will require them to
get at it as soon as they possibly
ini 4.
“li ve ' u made contracts for
steel ails?
“Yes sir, here thev are’—picking
up a bundle of heavy looking pa
pers all duly signed and attested.
“There are contracts for 15,000 tons
of steel rails, all closed and signed
with the Bethlehem steel works.
One thousand tons of these steel
rails will be shipped next week and
put at once on cur Rome extension.
The balance will follow as fast as
we can get the bed ready. This pa
per is a contract with the Diamond
State steel works, of Wilmington
Deleware, for the nuts, plates, pikes,
etc. Here is a eoutract -tyith the
Gill car works, of Columbus, Ohio,
for 200 fiat cars, fifty of which are to
be deli vered at Atlanta within thir
ty days from date of contract.
These will be used for construction
trains. You will see that our con
tracts are all signed, sealed and de
livered.”
“Wo have a man, Mr. P. B. Law.
reiiee, *r£ Ivltwiciia, nerrr on tL-o liudv
of the Macon and Brunswick road l
buying up cross-ties and signing
contracts for all he can. We aie
advertising in your paper for 300,-
000 cross, ties and have posted cir
eulars to the same effect along the
line of all our engineer eo n <s. We
have already closed several contracts
forties and they are now being cut
out.”
“When will the Rome extrnsion
be started?”
“We have several engineering
parties along that line now, and are
locating it as fast as possible. The
first 19 miles of this road we already
have secured and we will commence
laying steel on that as soon as Gen
eral. Gordon gets the cross-ties here,
and he says they will be here next
week. We have an application for
a charter for this line before the leg
islature, but I suppose, of course, we
will have no trouble in getting it, as
we ask for no aid or endorsement or
monopoly. We shall have part of
the Rome line ready for the con
tractors in five or six days. You
see, with 19 miles already virtually
built, we have only 45 miles to build
to get to Rome. Of one thing the
public may be satisfied. We are just 1
as anxious to get both roads finished
as the people can be to have us fin
ish them, and there shall be no delay
ou our pare,”
A WORD WITH THE CONTRACTORS.
Messrs. Condon & Cos., the con
tractors for the 67 miles of the Macon
extension, are composed of the
Messrs. Condon, father and son, and
Hugh Boyle, of Cincinnati, Messrs.
George \V. Parrott, J, W. English
and another gentleman of Atlanta.
The Condons are fine contractors
and have a large force of carts and
men that they can put at work here.
Mr. Condon will return to Atlanta
next Tuesday organized for the
v o :k. This firm will put on a very
"Urge force of men.
Captain W. B. Grant, who is well
known a> a ucc-essiul contractor,
savs that he dlpu + . on a force of
th ty-f .’ii’ cr is and a b >dv ti c m

OF THE EXTENSION THE MON
ROE ADVERTISER SPEAKS
AS FOLLOWS.
THE AGONY OVER.
At last the extension of the M.
B. R. R. has been located and the con
tra -ts for its construction let. The road
will be built upon the west side of the
Oc mill gee river passing near the Long
Shoals in Monroe, Indian Spring in
Butts, and directly through the towns of
Jackson and McDonough, the county
sites respectively of Butts and Henry
counties, and thence to Atlanta; in a di
rect line. This action of the Cole syndi
cate will cause the people along the se
lected, route to indulge in bright antici
pations of their future but will be a sad
lisa, pointment to the good people of
•Tone- and Jasper counties who have
struggled and hoped so long for a rail
road.
It is useless now to discuss whether
tho Macon and Brunswick Railroad
lease bill was wise in its policy, or just
in its terms to the whole people.
It is the law, and under it the State
has parted with her title to the M. & B.
Railroad and the rival line to the Cen
trai between jtlacon and Atlanta will be
built. ,
It is not difficult to conjecture even at
this time what effect the building of
this road will have upon the State, but it
is somewhat hard to predict v. hat it will
be upon our town. The opinion of the
writ er, without giving his reasons in de
tail is, that by building of this extension
a large amount of money brought from
abroad will be put in circulation, there
by benefiting all classes of our people.
The many line water powers along its
route will he utilized, to do which will
require more foreign capital and the in
troduction of skills 11 ibor t y work the fac
tors built. The Northern capitalists
w have with so much faith staked mil
lions of money upon the success of this
and other new railways in the South are
unaccustomed to failure, and will follow
these millions with others to develop the
countries through which lines pass, and
a necessary result there will be a large
number of Northern and Europeon emi
grants flocking to Georgia and other
Southern States.
The building of this and other rail
roads gives to Georgia the stepping stone
upon which she can begin the ascent
from adversity to prosperity. Let tho
the whole people profit by it.
Sabbath School Lecture,
DELIVERED AT MACCEDONIA
ON LAST SABBATH EVENING
TO A LARGE AND ATTENTIVE
AUDIENCE BY OUR WOR
-£ THY FRIEND BEAUR
r * A* U AllO MOOiiiJ.
L 3 dies and Gentleman : Doubt
less it would have been more pleas
ing to you, to have listened to one
that is accustomed to lecturing sab
bath schools, stiH I don’t think
that God assigned ho work to any
particular member, but the entire
race of man kind, hence, we pro
seed with our subject.
The Sabbath-School cause is one
of the grandest works of this age ;
and one of the noblest works that
e ver engaged any people of the past.
To rightly appreciate its merits we
must first see the good that flows
therefrom. Were we but for a mo
ment to count the souls which have
a ready entered the Pearly Por
tals through the door of this in
stitution, we would be lost in won
der at their multitude. Could we
but be permitted to number the
countless millions who are now lan
guishing in doom below because
their youthful training was not hal
lowed by the sacred influences of
this grand and noble cause, our
hearts would sink within us, and
our very hearts blood would chill at
the sight. In youth, while the young
and tender heart of the child is
susceptible of influence is the time
when its character should lie formed :
Is the time when we should bring
before it all the Christian virtues and
Christian graces. It was the most
hallowed task of our Savior while
on earth to reach the little children,
and when He said, “Suffer little
children to come unto me and for
bid them not,” then it was that our
Savior taught us that to us was
committed a sacred trust, and per
mit me to say this evening that
here within these sacred walls and
in this Sabbath school we have the
opportunity of fitting even the small
est child to meet its Savior, and we
should not abuse the privileges we
have. Lead them gently by the
hand into the happy band who are
marching on to the realms of bliss.
Teach them of God, iesnithem of
Christ in their tender age, arm when
they grow to man, and womanhood
th: y will continue to be soldiers of
that valient army.
M e have the injunction in burning j
words as they fall from the lips of'
God. “Forbid them nM" and pa-.
rents and friends of die Sabbath
. cliool cause, its otter. as you xaix to
spue this work your encourng
and support you violate this com
mand. x Now I trust tb at I do not
spsuk in the hearing of one who
ne glee vs to send their children
io this house, where it is possible to
and j so. it' such there be vd tbe
sound of ro c voice, to such I would
say, that and rk win be the hour
w you stand before the thione ot
(i.. *to account i voui wilful!
neglect oi ycur ehilds eternal well
fare.
'There are now in the United states
alone fifteen million of children who
belong to the Sabbath school. A
grand little army marching on in
the footsteps of Jesus. There are
equally as many more who are
growing up in darkness. Many of
this number are deprived of'the
privilege we enjoy because they
are inaccessible to Sabbath schools,
many more are kept away because
their parents are indifferent to their
spiritual wellfare. Who being in
darkness themselves and knowing
not the love of God having never
tasted the sacred sweets of a pure
religion, following the paths of sin
themselves, choose rather that their
little innocent pratling ones should
follow them in sin, born in corrup
tion, prefering that they be reared
in corruption, from hence spring
the bad men and women of our
country, they arc prone to follow
the example of their parents, their
final doom is apparent; their end
eternal death, and when we are call
ed to answer for the care of these
whom God has committed to us in
purity, how sad will be your answer.
Let us support the Sabbath schools.
Here we have an efficient Supetin
tendant and a corpse of Christian
teachers. We can be instrumental
here in this work, in saving souls
and building up the kingdom of
God on earth : Each infiueuce you
exert for good either by teaching
these little ones of God, or by an
upright walk before ahem therefore
will but be a star in the crown you
will wear in eternity. No community
should he without this institution.
No community can afford to do so.
while the young are taught in the
light, and drawn towards God, the
old are made to keep before them
the duties which are required
of them in the spiritual, kingdom
audit is in the discharge, of our
duty that we find peace, that we
enjoy happiness. By the work we
do, here we are kept in close rela
tionship to the Great Teacher him
self. We can teel that while He
smiles _ upon our efforts, He at the
same time blesses their results.

OFF-HAND TALKS,
TO SLIM JIM.
Did some red-headed beauty jilt
you? If not, why do you compare
them to a huricane? I reckon your
red-headed girl must have “run
away with another feller,” or you
would not have given us “red-liead
ed girls such an airing.
Yon riy they are liable to explode
well we suppose the reason you
havent been consumed by one' of
those explosions is because you are
too green to burn, we all know that
red-headed girls are “high strung,”
and providence made them so j ust
to manage such men as “Slim Jim”
who “drinks mean whisky,” some
men who need “double first cousins
to torpedoes and hand bombs,”* just
such as “never straggle or scatter,”
that's what the matter with him
now, he has just been “blown up” by
one of them sort, while trying to get
into the “sick kitten dying-calf
condition, yes, “Slim Jim”' you are
right when you say red-head girls
are hard to frighten. We never get
frightened unless we see a man try
ing to give his nose the winter sun
set or dead pine top hue, by using
bad whiskey for a coloring, but it
wo see one of ihaDsort, realing from
heal to h—l, we generally “straggle
or scatter.” Well there is some con
solation for the poor fellow, he should
be a very happy man, with the con
soling fact in mind that when his
maker rejects him, the d—l wont
HAVE HIM.
All the harm I wish to you is
that you may yet marry that red
headed girl, and that she may “get
her head fully set, and when you
think she’s thar she won’t be thar.”
Tuda Baker.
Says tho Sparta Ishmaelite :
A True Woman. —Mrs. Garfield
is undoubtedly a noble woman; but
there are thousands of wives in this
country who are just as devoted and
courageous as she. The woman
that, under the same circumstances,
would not have acted as nobly as
the wile of the President would be
an exception to the rule of Ameri
can women. This is true at least
of the women of Georgia. In them
are to be found the grandest and
truest characteristics ot a refined
and sublimated human nature. In
purity of purpose, whiteness of soul
and devotion to the trusts of the
heart they walk upon the highest
and sunniest level of human exis
tence, Home is their empire ; and
home loves and home duties win the
willing devotion of their heard.].
What Georgia woman, with her hus
band stricken down, would have
acted less nobly than the heroic
little woman from Mentor? The
conduct of Mrs. Garfield, noble
though it be, is no exceptional.
She has acted like a true woman —
and there are millions just like x
A FUNNY OLD STORY.
Tom Marshall was engaged in
the trial of a case in the enterior of
Kentucky, when a decision of the
judge struck him as so bad that he
rose in hit sent and said •
“There never was such a ruling
as that since Pontius Pilate presid
ed on the trial of Christ.”
“Mr. Clerk,” responded the judge,
“fine Mr. Marshall $lO for contempt
of court.’’
“I confess, vonr Honor,” contin
ued Tom, “that what I said was tj
little hard on Pontius Pilate, but
it is the first time in the history of
Kentucky jurisprudence that it is
held that to speak disrespectful !\
of Pontius Pilate is contempt o<
court.”
“Mr. Clerk, make the fine S2O fo
a continuous contempt,” said tli
judge, solemnly.
“Well, judge,” Tom added, “n>
you won all mv mony last night at
poker, lend me the twenty.”
“Ml Clerk,” cried the judge, has
t-ily, “remit the fine. The State cat
afford to lose the money better thai;
I can.”
“I congratulate the court up
its return to a sane condition,” said
Tom, resuming his seat amid roar,
of laughter.
