We have considerable complaint
about the Headmghl failing to
reach some of its subscribers. We
are unable to explain how it is as
the papers are mailed regularly ev
ery Saturday afternoon. In many
instances we believe the trouble
arises from other parties taking the
papers from the office and failing
or neglecting to deliver them
to the subscribers. This is wrong
and works a. hardship upon us as
well as the subscribers who fail to
get their papers. We hope to get
the matter remedied soon.

We offer a portion of our space
to our farmer friends to be used as

Col. E. C. Machen has good
to bo proud and happy. In Let
should bo the proudest and
man in the State of Georgia.
Covington and Macon railroad is
islued and he is lesponsible for it.
Few people know the difficulties un
der which lie labored in carrying this
enterprise through. Besides the
natural obstacles, and the trouble re
quired to raise the money to over
come them, bo had to face a succcs
sion and variety of obstructions such
as few rueu could have contended
with successfully. The progress of
the road was impeded by over two
hundred and fifty law suits and sixty
five in junctions. But with bis indomi
table pluck and energy, Col. Machen
made his way through the courts a
steadily as ho cut the path of his rail
road through the Georgia hills. No
thing stopped him, and he never seem
ed so bouyant and confident of suc
cess as when difficulties clustered
thickest around him ; but he “got
there.” at last, and the Covington and
Macon railroad is a monument to his
never tiring energy and pluck. The
people who live in that section of the
country through which the road runs
are under many obligations to Col.
Machen, for ha d it not been fur him,
and him alone, tho Covington and
Macon railroad would have been a
dead cock in the pit.” Col. Machen
deserves the many congratulations
which its completion has brought up
on him. Three cheers for Col. Machen
and the Covington and Macon rail
road,
