It has been just live years since we had visited the anicent capitol of Georgia, and upon our arrival there last Tuesday, wo found many recent improvements. Tho Bapiisl church, nearly completed is one of the handsomest churches in tho state. The “Dummy” is tho “talk of town” and is more than a con venience it is a luxury, even tho it skips tho track over occasionally. There seems to be a large attend ance upon tho M.

Trade seemed to be at a stand gtil!, and tho stores, tho’ well filled with nice assortment of goods, were minus customers. Court had adjourned on Monday, much to the disappointment of jurists, jurors, officers etc and we presumo to that fact is attributable the general quietude.

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 N e vvs. A LIBERAL OFFER, An Artistic Twelve Page Annual Calendar, beautifully decorated with highly-finished water-colored pic turcs representing the four season s— Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall— will he sent Free to any person who sends six cents for a sample copy of the Now York Ledger.
