Bob Hardee says that people all

Griffin’s enterprise. They don’t

Barnesville Gazette: “Misses Susie
Collier and Annie Harris, ef Griffin,
two j charming young ladies, are
spending the week in the city, the
guests of Mrs. Dr. Perdue on Thomas-
ton street.”
A “lone fisherman” was encounter¬
ed on the banks of the Flint one day
last week and asked, “How is itwith
[you?” He replied, “All using quiet a along pointed the
popular phrase,
line.” That was almost as good as
if he had pulled out a two pounder
just then.
While Griffin is getting up new oil
mills, railroads, telephones, etc., we
greet with pleasure the following in¬
dustrial item from the Barnesville
Democrat: “The Barnesville whit-
tiers club, prssided over by the genial
and venerabls M. G. Howard, is mak¬
ing some *f the finest white pine
chips you ever saw.”
B. A. Hardee returned Wednesday

Hardee’s family.

chief typo, J. K. Jester, happened to

man the palm of whose hand is nt
ly two inches thick must be a great
expert at a business requiring deft
manipulation.

It is said that when Henry Watster*

in the “sixties,” arousing the patriot¬
ism of tbs South with his vigorous
appeals, one of the type-setters came
in from the composing room, and,
planting himself before the editor,
said: “WMl.Mr. Watterson, I’vedeckf-

An Interesting Fight With the Gen.
■ \ traL
The Central railroad has an inter¬
esting fight on its hand! over jn Ala¬
bama; The Alabama Midland 1 b a
mad which is being built from Mont¬
gomery in a southeastly direction
through gM Alabama and across the
a g - toe towns *” on its 1
where the Mobile & Girard stop]
budding. Troy’s merchants and
capitalist were the most active pro-
mote|s of the new roadin which they
finally succeeded in interesting H. B.
Plant, who now has a big pile of
money in the enterprise.
This juvenile road is well endowed
with nerve. When it neared Troy it
boldly locked horns with the Central
and in the first round it came out on
top. The Midland did not have a
right of way of its own into Troy ahd
and to buy one witii depot rite
yard would cost several thousand
dollars. Banning into Troy from
the northeast is the Mobile and
Girard, which has 160 feet right of
way. Of that wide swath the Mobile
aad Girard actually uses about 9
feet. On the other 151 feet the new
road looked with eonvetous eyes.
Finally without much ado its engin¬
eer made a long curve in his line and
s truck the Mobile and Girard about
two miles outride of Troy. Without
asking questions the Midland pro¬
ceeded to lay its tracks down to the
Mobile and Girard’s right of way.
But this was not half. It did not
go to the expense of grading a road¬
bed of it* own away over on one ride
of the right of way, but cooly laid its
track on the Mobile and Girard’s
roadbed right beside the latter’s
track. Any one would suppose that
the old road was putting down, a
double track. Near the point where
the Midland entrind on the Mobile
and Girard’e right of way there ie a
large fertilizer factory. The Midland
ran its track across the Girard’s side
track and cut the latter out from
the fertilizer works.
To the Central people, Who controls
the Mobile and Girard, this was a
stupendous piece of gall. They ap¬
plied for an injunction. The case
came up in a Troy court. The Cen¬
tral sent Capt. Dabney from Savan
nah over to Troy and he spent all
last week there. All of the outride
sentiment was in favor of the new
road. The case was tried before a jury
which decided that the Midland’s
track can remain where it is and
awarded the Central |278 damages.
The Central will appeal. It dates
that the Midland has robbed It of
property worth thousands of dollars
and has not the slightest legal right
in the world to seize on to* Mobil*
and Girard’s right of way.
