a great railway chain.
But what about the Covington and
Macon’s Savannah and Florida
connections at Macon?
Wait and see and in tho means
time read this from the Banner
Watollman about the connection
with the Richmond and Dan vile at
Athens.
Yesterday was a triumphant day
for Col. E. C. Maehen and tho road
ho has built, through
such as have rarely been surmounted
before. It was a’so a day unique in
railroad circles m Athens. For the
first time m her history two ralroads
come together and will hereafter
interchange business without un
load in g cars Traffic arrangements
have been agreed upon between the
11. & J). and the C & M.and the first
engine passed from one road to the
other yesterday.
In manifestation of the kindly
business relations between two roads
Hon. Pope Barrow, president
of the Northeastern, invited Col
Maehen to accompany a number
of gentlemen,'among whom Mr, K,
K. Reaves, vice-president of the
Northwestern, Col. Toni Bailey, Mr.
Homer Nicholson, and Mr.
Harden, on a short excursion on the
two lines. The pleasant party had a
coach hitched to an engine and drove
from the Nortiieasten depot on the
0. & M. to the Broad street
crossing. As the road was blocked
with cars further down they went no
further. When they come opposite
the Georgia depot rounds of cheers
were interchanged between the
excursionists and the Georgia road
people. A cro-vd
was down on tho C. &. M.
to extend congratulations to Col
Maehen and join jn the pleasure on
the completion of his road. After a
short stay the party drove back to
the North—eastern and the
way was left open for passage of
trains from one road to the other.
Another outlet is thus given to
Athens and one, too, will prove of
great benefit, we think.—Macon
