COVINGTON & MACON It. R.
We copy the following from the
Macon Evening News:
It was a coincidence that Macon’s
other new road should have been
completed to Athens on the same
day that the Georgia Southern was
finished to Valdosta. These two
roads arc calculated to do great good
for Macon and the entire section
traversed by (hern. It is not im
probable that these two roads may
become connecting links in the same
chain of a great system reaching
from New York to Florida.
The Covington and Macon, or, as
it should be called, the Macon and
Athens, has been built under great
difficulties. It could be appropriate
ty termed “The Injunction Road,”
for its indomitable buildei, Mr. E. C.
Machen, has been met and obstructed
by over one hundred injunctions, an
ayeiage of one and a quarter injunc
tions for every mile constructed.
Such annoyances were enough to
crush any ordinary man beyond res
urrection.
But E. C. Machen is not an ordi
nary man.
He has successfully overcome ev
ery obstacle and to-day triumphant
ly and proudly views tho landscape
o’er. He is entitled to the applause
and thanks and praise of the public
that he is receiving.
The first regular through pas
senger train left Macon this morning
for Athens at 7 o’clock. On board
were Col-E 0. Machen, J. H. Sweet
ser, Esq., of New York, a large dry
Igootls merchant and one of
stockholders of the road, Judge
O. Thomas, the attorney of the
jr.gton und Macon at Athens,
intendent McEvoy, General
Agent Craig and others.

Last Monday a now schedule ivns

The local option election in New

a majority of lo t “for the sale.” It
is claimed however that there were a
number of illegal votes and it is
probable that a contest will be the
result.
Mr. Jo-iali Sibley, one of the
oldest and wealthiest citizens of
Augusta, died last Saturday after
noon at the advanced ago of 82.
The Sibley mill was named in his
honor, and lie was a director of
that mill, besides many other large
incorporations.—Macon Evening
News.
The following extracts are taken
from a long and interesting article,
which appeared in the Macon Tele
graph of the 7th inst, over the sig
nature, “II. II, J„” in which he
beautifully describes the country
through which the C. &. M. R. R,
passes:
Hon. F. M. Swanson has filled the
office of ordinary for eleven years
wit hout opposition and to the entire
satisfaction of his follow citizens.
Ho is a very pleasant and affable
gentleman, and just now is in a pe
culiarly amiable mood, as he was
most happily married on the 22 d of
November to Mrs. Hamilton of Clin
ton who is a charming lady and a
general favorite. Iain indebted to
Mr. Swanson for many courtesies,
and trust his union will bo c 1 owned
with the richest blessings.
It is related of Rev. Pinckney
Hill, a brother of tho senator, that
in his early career Rev. Geo. Pierce,
afterwards so distinguished as a pul
pit orator and bishop, and himself
were eacli called upon to preach in
the Methodist church at Monticello
Both responded, and even to this
day it is claimed that Hill distanced
Pierce. But “one swallow does not
make a summer,” and in the end the
bishop was acknowledged to be tho
incomparable leader in pulpit and in
council of his denomination.
