GRIFFIN GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING. JUNE 20 188*:
THE RAILROADS.
Building in Georgia—Hews of Interest
From Different Parts of the State.
I).rt was broken on the Columbus
Southern Monday morning, and with
in the next six months another road
will be feeding that prosperous and
growing city.
The Ckatthoochee brick compay is
building the road.
The Columbus Southern will be
eighty seven miles long, and will con
nect Columbus with Albany. It
passes through eight of the richest
counties ot the state, and when com
pleted will be one of the best feeders
Columbus has. Leaving Columbus
it cuts through the best portion of
Muscogee county and then enters
Chattahoochee. Then it passes
through Stewart, Webster, Sumter,
Terrel, Lee and into Dougherty.
These counties are all fine fields tor
production, and towards them the
eye of the emigrant is turned. The
road will be pushed as rapidly as
possible. One hundred men, a hun¬
dred mules, fifty carts and scrapers
aud twenty men were thrown upon
the line by the Chattahoochee Brick
company yesterday, and by this
force four thousand yards of dirt will
be moved each day. Next week the
force will be doubled and then the
dirt will fly.
The Chattanooga, Rome and Co
lumbus will be finished by this time
next week, and trains will be moving
between Chattanooga and Carrollton.
The gap between Rome and Carrol
ton will be closed by tomorrow night,
and the line betweeu Chattanooga
and Rome will be finished by Fri
day or Saturday, Captain English,
who is giving his personal attention
to the work, Teels certain that be
will move his forces by the first of
the week and turn the road over to
the owners.
The Georgia Midland Extension
Columbns Enquirer.
The papers along the line of the
proposed Georgia Midland extension
are writing it up. If the people of
middle Georgia will take as much in
tere8t in it as the papers are taking,
we will have a line from Columbus
to Athens inside of a year.
It can hardly be expected that Co
lumbus at present will take the lead
in this movement. It would benefit
us generally, but would benefit the
country though which it would ex
tend still more. We already have
the Georgia Midland, and it already
answers the main purpose for which
it was built, ae is shown by better
freight rates, better transportation
facilities and better and more rapid
passenger schedules on all the roads
running to this city. The building
of the joad would help us in extend
iDg our trade and giving ns a more
direct route of travel to the north
and east. It would reduce the time
required to go from here to Athens
to less than six hours, and if good
connection were made it would redu
ce the time and cost pioportionate
ly to Augusta and Charleston.
These are some of the benefitsjtbis
extension wonld secure to Columbus,
but they would be far less than the
good that wonld accrue to the conn
try along the line. It would give
railroad facilities to a part of that
conntry which now has no road, and
it would give Covington, Monroe,
and Athens competing lines.
If we were as much interested in
the matter as this section of middle
Georgia we would not go into it at
once without assurance of help. We
have a great deal on oar hands al
ready, bat if |Colnmbus has the prop
er assurance of assistance we behave
that she wilf take hold of the Georgia
Midland extension and, with the
help of others whom it will benefit,
will put it through k at once.

Wafting* Fro* Waverlj Hall. t
Wavbbly Hall, Ga., June 10.
—Being one of your subscribers I
thought I would take the liberty of
writing you a short lotter as we rare
ly ever see anything from Waverly;
although our town is yet in its in¬
fancy, we hope in the near future to
see many improvements.
Today everything is calm and
serene, although yesterday there was
quite a crowd assembled to attend
the closing exercises of Prof. Cal¬
houn’s school. It has been some
time since such a ciowd assembled
at Waverly Hall Academy. Colum¬
bus, Talbolton, Hamilton and other
places were well represented. The
exercises opened at 8 a. m. Each
class underwent a most thorough
examination and the promptness
with which each qnestion was an
swered and each problem solved,
very clearly showed a training most
complimentary to Prof. Calhoun.
The work continued until 11 o’clock,
when we had a feast, rich and rare, a
regular literary foast, from Prof.
Conyers, of Seale, Ala., who was se
looted to address the school and and
iedee on the occasion. Although
the day was warm and the house
very much crowded, the audience was
held spell bound by his eloquence,
and to say that his speech was one of
the grandest that we haveusver beard
would but feebly express our senti
merits. Alabama may well be proud
to claim him as her son. Dinner was
then the next thing in order and
such a dinner! ’Twas simply elegant,
for our good people generally do the
handsome for those who feel an m
terest in our school. The afternoon
exercises were equally interesting, in
asmucb as it embraced the higher
mathematics with now and then dur
ing the day music by Prrf, Chase’s
orchestra. It is not often we have
the pleasure ot listening to such mu
sic, so enchanting, so soul stirring.
Columbus may well afford to boast of
such talent as developed in the more
youthful members of this celebrated
orchestra es they did great credit to
themselves as musicians and gantle
meu. By the way, we learn they
will summer at Warm Springs. But
to the point again. After a while
for recreation and social enjoyment
we had supper. The evening exer
cises were devoted to essays by the
girls and declamations by the boys,
which were beautifully rendered, and
intersp?rsrd with music by the orches
tra.
Wo Waverly Hall people are quite
proud of our school. Some may
boast of greater numbers (although
ours numbered 90 pupils) but we
think our.i will compare favorably
with many others even in that re
spect. As regards teachers, Prof.
Calhoun enjoys the reputation far
and wide of being one of the finest
educators in the South.
Miss Mattie Fielder, of Marion
County,andMr. Mathews, of Glenalta,
were the^ucsts of Misses Griffin at
the Cedars to attend the closing
exorcises ot Waverly Hall High
School.
Miss Anna DeVoe, of Alpharetta,
is visiting her sister, Mrs. Dr. Jame
son.
Miss Copeland, of Shiloh, and
Miss Passm we, of Griffin, are the
guests of M iss Willie McCuHoucb.
Miss Neal Langsford has returned
home after a pleasant visit to rela
lives Messrs. and fiiends Appier at and Waverly. Thornton
with
their families have returned to their
lovely Hall. country home at Waverly
Sorrel Tor.

A GREAT WONDER.
Him. Steen. Whe Tells Year Though Is,
Reads Letters While BIIad«f«Med.
So absorbing is popular interest in
spiritualistic manifestations that bon
dreds of sleightsofsband performers
have taken to the road, of late yean,
and continue to humbug the people
with their so called mediumistic en
tertainments. Their deceptive meth
ods disgust the thinking masses, also
retard genuine study and research
into the mysteries of real spiritual
phenomena. We have carefully ex
amiued the criticisms ef the leading
papers in regard to Madame 8teen,
who is to appear at Patterson’s Hall
Friday, June 22nd, and we are pre
pared to assert that it would be im
possible to secure such comments
from such sources by the use of in
fluence or of money, and we must
therefore conclude that what is said
of Mme. Steen’s performance is true.
To reprint all that has been said
would fill every page of this journal,
and we therefore give but a few brief
expressions of leading journals:
St. Louis Globe Democrat—
StraDge force of power.
San Frincisoo Chronicle—The best
exhibition of occult force df power
we ever saw on any stage.
Detroit Free Press—Mme. Steen
is the only medium who ever visited
Detroit and gave perfect satisfaction.
New York Herald—The moat mar
veloos, thrilling and exoiting exbibi
tion ever introduced to the American
public.
Chicago Times—Mme. Steen's Se
ance at Hooley’s last night was most
wonderful.
Seats are now on sale at Palter*
son’s store. You can’t afford to
miss this wonderful performance.

will remember the notice of a stab

Brown sbont that time with a knife,
and that Brown died in May from

admited the stabbing but churned

the case needed farther investigation
