The Grifliu party at Flat Shoals ex pected to come home on Monday night and walked to the station at Neal an hour ahead of time, only to find that the train bac i gone half an hour: and they had dk back to the Shoals and wait until erday morning. We had expected to write a vary funny ar tide on the matter, only that every time our sense of the humorous is ove come by indignation at the utterly unwarrant ed action of the authorities in so entire ly disregarding the lights of local travel ers, by running a regular train through so far ahead of schedule time to aeoom modate a few through passenger, who wanted to reach Atlanta, People along the line of the M idlani have some rights as well as those who start from (Mum bus.

Rome and Columbus, Co* Iambus Sonthern, and Bnena Tlsta. Columbus Enquirer Sun, Mr. \V. J. Watt, one of our most successful and enterprising men, re¬ turned from a trip to Cedartown yes terday. Mr- Watt gives an interest ing account of bis trip. While in Cedartown, he had the pleasure of meeting Col. Williamson, president of the Chattanooga, Rome ard Colum bus railroad and Mr. Franklin, tbe English banker who is representing the men who are furnishing the money to build this road. President Williamson informed Mr. Watt that he wanted to build ins road to Colum bus at once and would do so if the citizens of Columbus and the people along the line would give him the proper encouragement. President Williamson said thrt he would visit Columbus in a short time to consult with the citizens abont building the road. Columbus needs this road, and the road needs Columbus. The men who are building the roa l mean business As an evidence of this fast, have only to men ion that the road was built from Chattanooga to Carrollton, a distance of l«>0 miles, j„ s i s months. The distance from Carrollton to Columbus will not ex ceed eighty miles, and if our citizens will meet Mr. Williamson in the right spirit be will complete his road to this city before the fust of Januasy, next. The banker, Mr. Frankbo, has been in this uni ntry but asiioit time, but is well pleased wj b what he | ls , se cn ct tbe country the soph*, .. tie , informed . .

Mr. >\ alt talked wiih prominent citizens at Cedartown and aio»£ the iiue, ali of whom were enthusiastic over tbe extension, whi ;h will give them a sonlLern out let and connection with competing lines at Columbus, which is destined to be one of the greatest railroad cen ters in tbe south.

Capt Lowe says company will send large forces of hands to the camps of the Olumbus Southern between now and June I. As last as the tquads finish up their work on the Chattanooga. Rome and Columbus they will be scut to the Columbus Southern. It is likely that the Chattahoochee Brick com¬ pany will also get the contract for btuldingthe Buena Vista road to this pity. Mr. Watt learned that the authorities of the Central and the Columbus Southern were negotiat¬ ing with a view to buildings double track on the right of way of the Co¬ lumbus Soothern for a distance of nearly fifteen miles from the city Should such au arrangement be made, the cost of the Columbus Southern would b« lessened consider ably- Capt.
