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. M. A.

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. List of Letters.
