"Within a year from uow it wiil be the main line of the Central sys'em.” ‘•How is that?" ‘‘Well, the woik is beiug pushed rapidly on the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus—formerly called the Rome and Gariollton—nud it wilt be completed from Carrollton to Cbatta nooga within tint time. Audasit it all a part of i o Central system, there will be .. through and veiy straight line from Savannah to Chat tanoogu, and of coarse Atlanta will get the go'by on through travel " "But what hus the Central got to do with the Rome and.

Why should they send ali the way tcriSa vannah to get engines tor their con etrnction trains when they could get them so much nearer and easier in Chattanooga? And every man in their surveying corps had a free p iss over the whole Central system; and they used them, too. “The narrow gauge Rome and Ce dartowu road has already been widened and the tr .ck extended ue far as Buchanan, while it is nearly graded from Buchunan to Carrollton.

Morrison’* Tariff Bill—A Waruiug to Wear |la Democrats. Special to Uie News. WxsHiNGTO%.i%b. 29.--The of the Democratic National tion has been fixed, the head ot ticket is practically named and it finally agreed that the last message will furnish the pith the platform. There only within the domain of therefore, the second place on ticket. One hears a good deal the subject just now. It is that the vice presidential must either be an Illinois or an ana man, and that it will be atl better lor him to have a record as soldier. There are two mentioned—Senator Voorhees Governor Gray. Both are at home and both in sympathy the President s policy. ^ oorhees has been h man of nence for a quarter of a century, in that time the recipient of marks of confidence at the hands his party. He has served in houses of Congress, and was years considered as standing only to Mr. Hendricks, who was ways first in the affections of Rooster Democracy. He took part in the war, however, and not in that particular come up to requirement of those who insist Mr. Cleveland’s next yoke should be a soldier. Governor Gray, though not well known to the country at as Senator Voorhees, is equally popular a man at home. Uutil he acted with the Republicans, was one of thoso in whom Morton placed great confidence. served in theLnion army with and commanded one of the known ot the Hoosier regiments. Gov. Gray, much more than Voorhees, is regarded as a vice dential candidate at home, Illinois has three sons thought to be of tho vice dential measurement. Two of —Gen. John C. Black and First distant Postmaster General son—have been discussed for years past. Gen. Black’s record as soldier is particularly good, hia administration of the Bureau lias been entirely ry. Mr. Stevenson possesses executive ability, arid is a man the most aereeatilc manners. has served with distinction in gross, hut took no part in the of tho rebellion. The third mentioned, and that too, with siasm just now, is that of Hon, liaui R. Morrison. Ho is thought possess every qualification for the office, as well as a record both ry and civil, that would prove great strength in the campaign. One docs not often hear of Mr. rison as having served in the army. He is, it. fact, almost universally known H id referred to as “Mr.” rison, and yet he was Colonel rison during the war, and as one of the best officers that Sucker State gave to the cause the Union. He was wounded twice in battle. Mr. Morrison has always been tariff reformer, committed to the principles laid down by Mr. Sand in his message. With Mr. land a» the candidate for the deucy, therefore, upon a growing out of and reiterating message, what wiser thiug, it asked, could the party do than Colonel Morrison tor second There ar# those who see in the tion of St. Louis ms the place holding the Convention, a stance of consequence to Col. son’a fortunes.

Chairman Mills says tbut tho bill will ha repotted in a day or and that it will be one on which all true Democrats can readily unite As Boon as the bill is presented Judg# Stewart says be intends to neod yon a copy. I find a general impression here a mong the Georgia congressmen and poXitjfUus that Senator Brown, Evan Howell and their nllicB will attempt to capture the convention which will Bend jdelegates to the national eon fen tion from Georgia. Operating under tho mask and rallying cry of ^Repeal of the internal revenue laws,” they will 6eek to send high tariff fnei: to misrepresent the true Georgia Democracy beforo the party in tb# United States, While the sen timent of the State is believed to be overwhelmingly in favor of tariff re form ss asked by the President, the machinations of theastnte politicians named are by no means to be deep s ed,witb all the mesas and machinery with which they have been accustom ed to control previous conventions. As the presidential convention has been called so early, it is not too soon to call attention of Spalding Democrats to this matter. Let them be on the lookout, and be sure not only to instruct their delegates to the State convention but to pick men known to be in sympathy with the policy of the party.

The Recent Spell of Weather Does Not Interfere With Marriage*. Special to Uie News Orchard Hill, Ga., Fob. 29.— The dark clouds hare dispersed at last and the great luminary of the day is again giving us the benefit of its bright light, bringing with it one of the coldest snaps that we have evor witnessed at this season of the year. We have often heard that one extreme follows another, and so it has in this case; but we expected after having so much wet weather that we would perhaps have extreme dry weather. And so we may but certain it i< that now it is extremely cold. All these things seem to be against us, but after all it may bo best for us: there are a great many flies in the wheat and numerous othor insects, were they not killed out by the cold weather, that would prove very detrimental to the crops. Mr. John Shackelford, of your city, and Miss Loula Starr, of Orchard Hill, were recently united in mar riage at ibe residence of the bride’s lather. Messrs. George Rivers and Willie Futral recently paid Fayette county a visit, which resulted in the capture of ono of Fayette county’s best girls, Miss Mollie Scott. George had to steal her and of course took Willie along to entice her away from the parental roof, which he accomplished in a very neat manner. They were married early on Sunday morning and arrived home late in the after noon of the same day- Well, if the times ever could get too hard for peo pie to marry, certainly it is now, but it seems to he a debt that we must all pay sooner or later and 1 reckon tho sooner perhaps the better. May their lives be long and happy and may they sever have cause to regret it. Miss Edney Willis has just return ed home from i visit to her siater, Mrs. J. J. Thornton, of Griffin; just in lime to appreciate a visit from her best fellow. Crawley's academy, about one and ! i a half mile away, has bee* recently destroyed by lire.
