' GEORGIA MIDLAm 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.” -tuU.
