Annual Meeting of Stockholders Tltur*-
day—Officers Eleted.
Columbus, May 18.—Yesterday
fhe largest excursion train that ever
arrived in the city came in on the
Georgia Midland and Gulf, bearing
the stockholders of lhe road and
their families to its annual meeting.
The train consisted of fourteen cars,
and brought not less than tLirteen
hundred people. A littlo after 12
o’clock the meeting was called to or¬
der by President J. E. Grannis, of
New York, with a large number of
shareholders present. C. E Hoch-
strasser was cailed to act as chairs
man of the meeting and C. L Davis
as secretary. The minutes of the
last meeting were read, which occu¬
pied about threo hours. Tbo by>
laws were amended changing tho an
nual meeting to October, making the
fiscal year end June 30, as suggest
ed by the Inter-State Commerce
Commies on.
The following directors were elect
ed: A. Illgta, J. F. Flourney, Dr.
N. J. Bussey, Columbu?; Seaton
Grai-tland, Griffin;0- L. Davis, Warm
Sprmgs; W. S. Alexander, McDon
ough; E R. Lancaster, J. E. Gran
j nis, New York, The directors met
and elected J. E. Grannie, president;
J. F. Fionrney, vice president; T. C.
S. Howard, secretary and treasurer;
G. Gunbv Jordan, general manager.
The meeting was in session about
six hours
Jas. E. Brown on tho Railraad Situa- |
lion.
The NeAbaa Herald and Aivertis
er publishes the following editorial;
The extension of the Columbus
and Iiom * read from Greenville to
Newman has been regarded by our
people with constant hopefulness
for several years, uod at no timo has
tue importance of tbo enterprise been
underestimated. Indeed, it has been
a matter of surprise that the Central
bli ^ * w ft Kd ‘ a ® aL< J ~ Hannah, r Co] 7
Gnillu «nd North Alabami loads,
(oi*i:her of which is of much impor
tance*9 now operated.) should ir-ve
delayed bringing the Uo
lioaa together. Thia indifference
may Ui t xplaitied in part by the fact
that while the Savannah, Griffin and
North Alakatna road is controlled
and virtually owned by the Central,
jet it hae Dot acquired actual owner
ship of the property. It waa the
furtherance of tins extension scheme
that prompted the Central autbori
ties, four or five months ago, to insti
tote proceedings looking to the fore
closure of its mortgage on the S- G.
k N. A. property; and, while tempor
arily enjoined by the minority Btock
holders from carrying this purpose
into effect, it is not likely iLat pro
eeedings can be much longer delayed.
When actual ownership is acquired,
there will be no farther hinderance
to tbc consummation plan ontlibed
above, and consequently bnt little
doubt as to the early completion of
the link between Newnan and Green
ville.
Tae Chattanooga, Rome and Co
Iambus road will be completed to
Carrollton by July 1st, and., it is nn
derotood that the Savannah, Griffin
and Noith Alabama and the Colum
bus and Rome will be united at New
nan and utilized by the first named
road es its Columbus extension, The
early completion of the Chattanoga,
Rome and 'Columbus to Carrollton,
therefore, encourages the belief that
work will soon be commenced on the
Columbus and Rome extension.
God. Alexander himself admits that
one of the most important projects
of fhe Central is the extension of
tho Columbus and Rome to Newnat;
and this official utterance, when tak
en in connection with all the circum
stances, clearly implies the urgency
and importance of the contemplated
connection.
Tho distance from Newnan to
Greenville ia twenty»five miles, and
the choice of routes probably lies be
tween Lutherville and a parallel line
about two miles east of that place.
Both routes are said to possess ad
vantages, though there is bnt little
difference in distance.
If there should be any new devel
opments we will keep our readers
posted.
Onr Pretty Girls,
A gentleman of fine taste, who
knows beauty when he sees it, said
yesterday: “The stock of pretty
girls in Griffin never gave out or
ran low, when I was a boy, and the
girls of all sizes were known for
their beauty. It has been the same
way ever eince, and it is the same
way now. By the time our young
ladies get married there will be
plenty of others take their places on
the carpet.”
