The Columbus Enquirer Sun copies the New York telegram which appeared in the Atlanta Con - stitution of the 18th in«t„ and which has already appeared in the News, referring to tbe alleged proffered sale of the Georgia Midland to ‘the East Tenuessee system, and then makes the following salty cud sag gestive reply: Probably no more unjust, uncall¬ ed for, and untruthful a telegram ever appeared than the one above. The Georgia company’s special rail road reporter, in New York, has over stepped the mark in bis zeal for his pet system. Iu the course of a conversation with a gentleman who is well up in railroad matters yesterday in ref erence to the above telegram he made in substance, the following statement: The truth about tbe matter is this: The president of East Tennessee railroad made tbe overture for the purchase of this property. He had it carefully ex¬ amined by experts of bis own cboos ing, who favorably reported upon its condition and prospects, declaring it entirely able to earn its interest, from business now in sight. No representative of the Georgia Mid> land offered control’* as this tele*- gram states. Tbe control of the bonds and stock of this railroad is in the hands of a syndicate, aDd this syndicate's representatives did all the talking there was. These rep resentatives in New York, we learn arc F. P. Olcott, president Central Trust company ; A. Backer, capital ist; R. A. Lancaster, banker; they represent a pool of the majority of the bonds and stock under an agree ment to let the securities so remain, interest or no interest, for five years. They naturally asked a guarantee of the bonds, if it would pass into new control, and a reasonable price for the stock. The Georgia Midland railroad was opened for business about October 1, 1887. It has nev er, any month Bince, failed to earn 80 per cent, of the entire interest charge, and far more than the inter¬ est on tbe outstanding bonds. The officials of this company assure us the business of the present month, so far, has exceeded like days in last month about 27 per cent. Their business will, as soon as they are a few months older, and things get settled down to a regular channel, and the Columbus Southern is com 1 ' pleted, be ample to satisfy the most exacting. This telegram is but part of tbe announced scheme of those whoso toes are trodden upoD, to see the “new road sold at auction." Dr Felton, in his great speech on the railroad commission, spoke of tbe Georgia Central as the “Pbarioh’* midwife who strangled the new¬ born in delivery." It is well enough for our people to remember that tbe Columbus Southern is under con¬ struction. It may suit the Atlanta paper to promulgate telegrams etna Dating from the octopus of the rail road system of the state, but the proprietors of that journal should make up their minds to kiss good bye to their Atlanta and Florida in vestment when the squeezing pro gramme is fully inaugurated by tbe older systems. Development will cease when garbled facts ate used to stagger investment. It m >y not be known to all onr readers, but it is true, that there are parties who are in both tbe boards of directors of tbe East Tennessee and the Central systems. As the investment of the Central is in stock, and in the other bonds, it is natural that telegrams depreciating encroachments on Ceu tral's claimed domain, shonld find their way into the pnblic prints. The men who undertook the con struction of tbe Midland have given the people a road, in all its details, second to none in the south. It is largely with Hie people themselves bow such a road should be patron ized. Oar citizens, both here and iu Griffin and along tbe line, should stick to the Midland. Give competi tion a chance. We have no comity against any railroad, bnt wo believe in a lair deal, competition, develop ment of tbo state and the honest troth. Gardening. Of all ibe pleasant pastimes ibat afford profitable recreation, none can excel gardening. Aside from the most healthful exercises, there is a satisfaction beyond compare in eat ing the fruits of one’s own labor. The universal law of compensation finds a sweet expression in the enjoyment of the bread eaten in the sweat of one’s own blow. A man cultivates contentment and cheerfulness togeth er with his garden, if he euters with vigor into the manual labor. It is believed that Anteua was a husband man, and that striking the ground with his implements gave him tbe strength to cope with Hercules. Be sides, such open air exercise contrib utes to ibe strength of characler and an equable temper. Man is as uependent upon sunshine and air for the development of a sweet disposi tion and bright coloring of bis life, as the flowers that grow in the fields. Mothers appreciate this and send their little offspring out for airing and a sun bath on every anspicions occasion. A noted German writer was wont, with uncovered bead, to stand for an hour each day in the sunshine. It invigorated his body and brain, and the world of liters ture was illuminated with the light of a sweet nature that shone through S clear mind. Charles Dudley Warner's “My Sum mer iu a Garden" illustrates the val ue of this recreative pastime in stimu fating thought. Every idle weed was full of instruction and moral re flections growing with pulsey as po sms with the mountain daisy upturn ed by Burns. A life thns ’exempt from public haunt," like tbe exiled Duke in the forest of Arden— “Finds tongues in peas, books in thegrowiug grass, Sermons in herbs, anil good in everything.’’ The season for early gardening is at hand, and it behooves us to pro pare for the spring and snmmer be fore us. The beneficence of Provi dence in providing for the regular lecurreuce of the season each bring ing its appropriate fruit and vegeta hies adapted to the necessity for a change of diet with man, is nowhere more apparent thau in this section. Nature has kindly endowed this re gion with the most favorable condi tions of soil and climate possible for successful gardening. Our people have enjoyed these advantages only to a limited degree. We have luxn riated in vegetables and garden fruits, but have never seen fit to make them an easy source of revenue. Let uur gardeners extend their operations and make Griffin famous for market gardens, as she justly can be. Use the great specific for ‘ cold in head” and catarrh—Dr. Hage's Catarrh Remedy. Centra!

A Reporter Attempts to Furnish Copy at Double Ills Usual Rate of Speed and Gets TtamgB Mixed. Kansas City Journal. Tunic u a reporter at tbe Times office who writes with unusual rapidi ty with either hand. He is an ambi dexter, and a bold, bad one nt that. When there is a rush of work at tbe office and the devil is shouting cop pee like a fiend incarnate, this useful reporter sits down at his desk in full company tornt, and, with a pencil in each hand, slings off local happenings by the yard. He writes on two sheets at once, and don’t let his right Land know what his left hand is driving at, but is driving all the same. Yesterday he got a little off his men tal base and attempted to write up a dog fight and a wedding in high life at the same time. He got things mixed. His bands ran clear away with the gray matter in his skull, and things became terribly confased. This is the way his items telescoped with each ottier: At Grace church, last night, the nuptials of Mr. Thomas Johnson and Miss Julia Lawrence were celebrated in most magnificeut style. A costly floral horseshoe being directly ovir the altar, and when tbe yellow cur saw the flames of anger darting from tbe eyes of the bridal fjste he opeD ed with impressive strams of tbe wed diDg march.
