Since the connection of Griffin with the Covington A Macon road has by no means been abandoned, although apparently delayed; everything in connection with that road is of in¬ terest to Griffin readers. Griffin’s subscription will be ready at any time it is called for With definite assurances by Col. Machen, and the advertise¬ ment of the purpose to build the branch, which has appeared in the News, would seem to indicate that matters are progressing this way. The report is current that the great banking house of Brown Brothers, of Baltimore, New York and liver- pool, the backers of E. C. Machen in the building of the Covington and Macon road, haye agreed to take the bonds of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern railroad. This should in¬ sure the completion of the road be yond a doubt. Since Brown Brothers are holders of the bonds of the Covington and Macon, this road and the Georgia, Carolina and Northern will unite and combine at Athens, which, in connec¬ tion with the Seaboard and Roanoke system will give the Covington and Macon through connection from Ma¬ con to New York, and thus furnish the shortest and quickest routeNorth from this point At Macon several connections can be formed by the Covington and Macon which will give her a di¬ rect outlet to thesea.both at Savan¬ nah and Brunswick, and be a link in a continuousj system stretching.from New Orleans to N«>w York. Referring to the above subject,’the Athens Banner-Watchman says: “As has already been published Messrs. ___________DU______-________ A. L. Hull and A. H. Car£- Hodg- son, directors of the Georgia, na M and nrw1 Northern railway, ,-n.iwcv were «>«•« called, noliod to Monroe, N. C., last week to a meeting, of the board of directors. In view of what has been written, it is highly probable that all details will be arranged and the contract* for constructing the G- C. & N. be let at once. “It is impossible to over-estimate the advantage of the new road to Athens. It will open up a magnifi¬ cent section between Athens and Tie Monroe, N. €., for which Athens will the main disemUOfigTKHin. -Fur¬ ther, there!* inestimable advantage in being on a direct and through line. This road will be the shortest line be¬ tween the Bdst and the Southwest, and through cars and sleepers, freighted with hundreds of people and goods beyond count, will every day pour into or pass through Athens. Bale of the Savannah, Dublin & West¬ ern. Next Tuesday the Savannah, Dub; Bn and Western Short Line railway will be put up at public sale in front of the county court house in Savan¬ nah by Gol. R. J. Davant, the re¬ ceiver. Parties in Macon will attend the sale. This is the road that has made Major .Branch sick in Virginia. Receiver Davant and Major R. A. Blandford, formerly engineer of the road, have just been over the line on horse-back. They found the graded roadbed in good condition. The grading begins five miles south of Savannah af a point half a mile west of the Savannah, Florida and of West¬ ern track. Abbut 46 miles the road are graded but no trestles or bridges were ever put in. Up to the time work was suspended by the last contractors, Carpenter, Grant, Monday & Cb., #80,000 had been expended on it! The upset price fixed by ,the court is #50,000. If that sum is nbt bid there can be no sale.* Will there be any bidder* who will pay that or more for the road? Sev¬ eral quiet inquiries have ' been made about the property and the condi¬ tions of the sale. It is impossible to learn whether there will be mnch bid, ding on the day of the sale. It is be'ln in¬ ferred that the Central will not field, as the parties interested in the road Say that they would object to the sale being confirmed, were it sus¬ pected after the sale that an agent of the Central had bought it. }■'- The coming sale will straighten out all the litigation in which the Short Line’s affairs are entangled. The title which the receiver will give will be clear. Friends of the Central own a majority of the stock for which they paid Major Branch #100,000. That stock, however, will be practically wiped out by the sale. If there is a balance after the com¬ pany’s #40,000 of debt and the at¬ torney’s fees are paid, the present stockholders will be entitled to it. But. the purchaser of the road gets all of its property. Then upon the organization of a new company, the charter would phse to it and the new corporation would succeed the old one. So, notwithstanding the Central’s Ll„;«, present interest in the Short purchaser -ooki oo, k f All of the ingtlih’ . The chances of realising ly uncertain: There is a vague foun¬ dation for the statement that two very powerful interests, neither of which is local to Savannah, will be represented at the sale. M. & B. Surveyors Moving Toward the Alabama Line. The surveyors of the Macon and Birmingham railroad, who are act. ing in the employ of the Macon Con¬ struction company of the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad, are now about sixty miles from Macon, having just made a survey through Pine mountain on a thirteen foot cut, which is considerably less than had been expected. . The survey will reach the Alabama line about June IT, and Professor Spencer, the State geologist, has been employed by the enterprising management of the Macon Construc¬ tion company to follow the survey¬ ors and examine all the different min¬ erals, coal, iron, etc., that lie in the route of the survey. This inspection by Professor Spencer will be of great value and help to the company.when it begins building the road. LIFE IN T HE SEVE RED HEAD.

The city of Omaha has in its service a force of thousands of scavengers who draw no pay, report to no official, but are protected by law from molesta¬ tion.

A favorite haunt feat the bend of the river, between Cut-off and Florence lakes, where the banks shelter them from the north¬ west wind.
