THE PEOPLE MEET.
AND PROTEST AGAINST THE
EFFORT TO FORFEIT
The Charter of the Savannah
and Western Railroad—They
Also Protest Against" the
Passage of Olive’s Bill.
Pursuant to a call of the Mayor,
a large number of the citizens of
Eastman and Dodge county as
sembled at the court house yi this
place on Friday last at 10 o’clock
a. m., for the purpose of taking
action in regard to the effort now
being made before the legislature
to forfeit the charter of the Sa¬
vannah and AVestern RaiLbad
Co., and also to give expression
with reference to what is known
as (lie “Olive Bill.”
Permanent organization was ef
fected by electing Maj. Chas. R.
Armstrong chairman, and E. B.
Milner secretary. On motion a
committee, consisting of Jas. Bish
op, Jr., chairman, L. A. Hall, L.
M. Peacock' AV. AV. Asliburn and

tired, and after a brief absence re

Eastman Resolved, and By Dodge the citizens of
comity in
mass meeting assembled, that
we introduced emphatically the condemn Georgia the Legis bill
ift
lature to forfeit the charter of the*
Savannah and Western Railroad
Company, the biifWing-of which
railroad by the Central Railroad
und said Banking charter, Co., would the develop purchasers this
of
jind a large portion of our State
and greatly inhance the material
interests of the people. AY r e be¬
lieve said bill was introduced
solely in tl j interest of the S. A.
A M. Ry., and of individuals con¬
cerned therein, and while we are
not opposed to that or any other
railroad enterprise, yet we are op
posed to any legis! ‘ion that will
cripple or retard the building of
any railroad in the State, and we
want as many and the best rail
roads we can get. AY f e request the
Senator from this district and the
Representative from this county to
do all in their power to prevent the
passage of said bill or any other
legislation that will tend to hinder
or delay the building of the Savan¬
nah and AVestern railroad.
• Resolved further, That we are
opposed to the passage of what is
knowiras the Olive hill, and we
believe the introduction of said
hill in the last legislature delayed
am 1 stopped the building of said
Savannah and AY r estern railroad,
which was in actual course of con¬
struction,and in our opinion would
have been completed, and would
now be in operation but for the in¬
troduction of said Olive hill.

Miss Asburv Barrett, of Silver

tertaining conversationalist, with
man y personal charms, she wins
affections of all who become
' acquainted with her. May the

Mr. Stanton, of AVaycross, gave
a nice talk to the congregation of
the Methodist church of this place
on Sunday last. The subject of
his remarks was “Faith,” and by
strong argument held the atten
tion of the audience for thirty
minutes. Mr. Stanton is much lov
ed by the good people of AVaycross
for his fidelity and faithfulness
in the promotion of the Christian
religion, being President of the
Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion and Superintendent of the
Methodist Sunday-school at that
place. He is agent at tlie office
of the S., F. & AV. railroad at that
point with five assistants, and is
ever faithful in the discharge of
his duty.
A Card.
In reply to Air. E. B. Aliller’s
editorial in the Times-Journal
during his temporary charge as
acting editor of said paper, stating
at first that I am “beautiful and,
accomplished,” then retracting
this remark saying that I am
neither, “not even accomplished
enough to get out of a shower of
rain,” I will state Air. Milkier in
these two articles showed well
how inconsistent an editor he was
by jumping from one extreme to
another. At first to justify my
self I called on (lie editor in Charge
and demanded a refraction of the
first remark, which was thrown at
me as an insult. The second ed¬
itorial made the insult more brutal
and showed Air, Milner in his true
colors. How successful an editor
he is the readers of this paper well
know. After having charge of the
Times, deceased, lie had to give it
up after a short period, and relin
quish the claim of his initials to
his creditors, who have charge of j
same yet. His consistency shows
up in his two last attacks upon
me, besides he stated that I asked
him to have the Alacon Evening
News to copy his last remarks,
He certainly made a great mis
take there, either willingly or not
knowingly. I leave it for the pa
tient reaelers to deckle for thenv
selves. Aly idea of Air. E. B. Mill
ner is that he is as much suited to
edit a newspaper as I am suited
( j r j ve an ox cart. All due re
spect to the gentlemanly editors,
Alessrs. Pendleton Bros., who I
know had no hand in these insults,
I remain, yours very A.‘ -respectfully,
AVitkowsmi.

A preacher said in the pulpit
here that he had known young

and I expect its the case with
many eilitors and correspondents,

The next meeting of the Dodge
| County Sabbath Scliool Associa
tion will be held at the Methodist
church in Chauncey on the fourth
Sunday in August,1889, commenc¬
ing at 10 o’clock a. m., after the
devotional services.
Reports from the different
schools will be called for, after
which the subject of the teacher
before his or her class will be dis¬
cussed by Dr. Blanton, of Chaun¬
cey, and then others will be called
on to assist in the discusion, and
it is hoped there will be many
ready to respond who have given
such thoughts to the subject as
will enable them to throw much
needed light, upon this very ini
portant theme.
At 12 o’clock m.. the meeting
will be adjourned until 2 o’clock
p. m., when the convention will
take up the discussion of the great
need of a more thorough identity
with the Sabbath-school interests
on the part of parents' and how
can if be secured? The first
speaker will be Prof. R. .1. Stro
zier, after which volunteers will
be expected to carry on the dis¬
cission. Let all true and earnest
workers in the Sunday-school
come prepared to make an earn¬
est appeal to the parents to come
to the rescue, and help in a Sab¬
bath-school revival.

A Woman’s Discovery.
“Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by a lady in
this county. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, but her
vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed incessantly and
could not sleep. She bought «f ns a
bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for
consumption and was so much relieved
on taking the first dose that she slept all
night, and with one bottle lias been
miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz.” Thus write VV.
