While Mr. MeCaslaa was In the
*J Wv. t,h afew <5ay " **°’ h# met at
OFteland, Ohio, a geotien gentleman who
stands among the tost ranks of the
educators of thsgreatBuckeye State,
and who once visited Griffin some
four or five years ago. This gentle¬
man, while to a position as desirable
as could b» found in the North, has
a wife who suffers from the rigors
of the Northern climate, and
hence a change is desirable. He
haa not forgotten Griffin, with which
he was favorably impressed at the
time, and was pleased with the ac¬
count of the many improvements
that Mr. McCasian was able to re¬
count since bis visit here. He said
he regarded Griffin as a fine point for a
first-class female seminary—one that
would cost about $50,000—and that
he would be down here some time
this fall for the purpose of looking
into the matter and to make further
investigations into the suitable¬
ness of Griffin as a winter resort.
From the position that he occupies
and our own personal knowledge of
the Ohio gentleman, whose name is
withheld at present for good reasons,
w* are certain that be would not be
connected with any institution not
of the highest order, and Griffin may
well congratulate herself if he should
mature the plans mentioned. As to
the many advantages of the place
for such purposes, it will be easy to
point them out when he comes.

Smm Secant Railroad Transaction*
and Their Effect on UrUBn-Tbe
C. and M. Branch.
It seems that President William¬
son, of the Chattanooga, Rome and
Coinrobus railroad, will be able to gst
into Griffin without the Savannah,
Griffin and North Alabama road.
Upon his promise to build to the
Georgia Midland and Gulf road if
Columbus would raise $25,000, that
amount was promptly subscribed by
the citizen* of that go-ahead place,
and It is said tnat work will begin at
once. Connection will be made either
at Woodbury or Warm Springs, and
solid trains will be run through from
Chattanooga to Columbus.
Woodbury and Warm Springs are
both nearer to .Griffin than to^Go-
lumbus, and the road from Chatta.
nooga to Griffin by this route will be
as direct os from Chattanooga to
Columbus, so that Mr. Williamson
will come across to this point inde¬
pendent of the Central system.
He has said, and Col. Machenhas
said, that this waa the one lacking
essential to the building of the branch
of the Covington and Macon road
from Monticello to Griffin. The
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus
road wants au eastern outlet—the
Covington and Maeon wants a west¬
ern outist. Eaeli can secure what it
most wants by the building of this
branch to Griffin. The logic of the
situation favors the building of this
connecting link.
Both roads are doing a good local
business, and each can do better still
by a connection that will give them
more territory.
In connection with this promised
speedy extension of tbeChattanooga,
Rome and Columbus road, thefollow-
ing from thelastissue of tbe Jackson
Argus is most significant:
“WILL IT BE BUILT? IT LOOKS THAT
“way.
“The Argus readers will remember
that some months ago we said in
these columns that tits Griffin branch
of the Covington and Macon railroad
was „ ‘This not morning dead, bat asleep. that it
we can say
has partially waked from its slum¬
ber* and new interest is being taken
in its construction. New surveyors
arrived in town last night and this
morning left for Griffin, looking over
the old road bed. They were accom¬
panied by Mr. Sam McKibben.
“Major Key was in Jackson this
morning looking after the road, and
while he was somewhat reticent as to
the plans of th* headworkers of the
enterprise, ple he said we could intended tell our stop peo¬
that never to
work “The until Argus the fa road was enthused, complete. and
a»ain
thinks the road will be bnilt at an
early day.”
THE COLUMBUS SOUTHERN.
Heavy trains of steel rails have
been passing through Griffin for
weeks past over the Georgia Midland
to be laid on the tracks of the Colum¬
bus Southern road, which fa now in
process of rapid construction. This
road .built by the friends and.projec-
tors of the Georgia Midland, will give
a competing line to Florida,
where it will connect with the Florida
Central and Peninsula railroad, with
its six hundred miles of railway al¬
ready constructed.
THE COLUMBUS AND ROME ROAD.
That the management of the Cen¬
tral railroad believes that William¬
son fa in thorough earnest about his
proposed extension to the Georgia
Midland road, is shown by the man¬
ner in which they are trying to nega¬
tive its effect by the building of the
Columbus and Rome road to New-
nan. The Savannah News of recent
date contained the following account
of an interview with President Alex¬
ander:
“How fa your Columbus, Greenville
and Newnan extension getting
along?” General E. P. Alexander
was asked yesterday.
The General replied that the road
is a part of the Savannah and West
era system, and $300,000 of the
bonds of the Savannah and Western
were reserved to change the narrow
gauge road from Columbus to Green¬
ville to standard gauge and to ex¬
tend the road from Greenville to
Newnan.
Gsb. Alexander says that a survey
tog corps has been put on this week
to locate the road from Greenville to
Newnan, and it mar connect with
the road at Sharps burg. The work
of widening the track between Co¬
lumbus and Greenville is under way,
and it fa expected that by next
spring the road wffl be in operation,
“is it a scoop?”
In the meantime the Atlanta and
Florida road seems to have been
gobbled up by the Richmond Termin¬
al system; though what it wants
with tbe road fa hard to say.
The board of new ‘directors of this
road was elected recently and pub¬
lished in the News Aim Sun.
Wednesday the tew directors mst
and sleeted tbe following offers:
Colonel R. F. Maddox, president.
Mr. Cecil Gabbett, 1st Vice Presi¬
dent and General Manager.
Mr. E. W. Marsh, 2nd Vice Presi¬
dent.
Mr. R. J. Lowry, treasurer.
5S- ■ * tSpwBvsa ............ .
i secretary.
road which, is a part of the Terminal
system. *
President Maddox says positively
that his road has not been sepoped,
and tbeelectioa of Mr. Gabbett was
purely accidental- Mr. Gabbett has
stock in the road. 4
Col. Maddox says there has been a
negotiation looking to thsseBing out
to tbs Richmond terminal crowd, but
that is now off and they do not con¬
template, directly or indirectly, to
allow them by any means to get con¬
trol of the road.
All the same, the Atlanta Journal
broadly intimates that the A. & F.
has been scooped; and anch“acciden-
tiai” elections certainly make st range
coincidences. ~
Good-bye to Atlanta’s great inde¬
pendent transcontinental line!
THE MARIETTA AND NORTH GEORGIA.
Now it Seems that another new
Georgia road wants connection with
Griffin’s successful independent sys¬
tem. We do not know what there is
in it, but find the following in a late
issneof the Henry County Weekly:
Below we give the contents of a
letter written by Mr. W. G. Whidby
always 1
tions to railroad enterprises, and we
think just now, as such a fine chance
presents themselves itself for direct our people with to North con¬
nect
Georgia that they shonid not lose
the “It opportunity. is people have been
true our
taxed enormously to build the G. M.
& G. railroad, but if we could give
the same enterprise another boost it
would be to the interest of all parties
concerned: Here is the letter :

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, U S. A.
Griffin is the beet and most promising little
ity in the South. Its record lor the past
half decade, its many new enterprise* in oper-
ation, building and contemplated, prove this
o le a business statement and not a hyper-
oiie&l description.
During that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a f100,000 cotton
actory and with this year started the wheels
of a second of more than twice that capital.
It has put up a large iron and brass foundry,
a fertilizer factory, au immense ice and bot¬
tling works, a sash and blind factory, a
broom factory, opened up the finest granite
quarry in the United States, and now has
Our large oil mills in more or less advanced
stages of construction, with an aggregate au¬
thorized capital of over half amillion dollars.
It is putting up the finest system of electric
ighting that can be procured, and ha* ap¬
plied for two charters for street railways. It
has secured another railroad ninety miles long,
and while located on the greatest system in
the South, the .Central, has secured connec¬
tion with its important nval, the East Ten¬
nessee, Virginia and Georgia. It has obtain¬
ed direct independent connection with Chat
tanooga and the West, and will break ground
n a few days fora fourth road, connecting
with a fourth independent system.
With its five white and fourcolored church¬
es, it has recently completed a $10,000 new
Presbyterian church. It has increased its
ul&tio* by nearly one fifth. It has attracted
around its borders fruit growers from nearly
every Stats in the Union, until it i* now sur¬
rounded on nearly every side by orcharde
and vineyards. It has put up the largest
fruit evaporators in th* State. It is the home
of thsgrape andits winemakingcapacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully in¬
augurated a system of public schools, -with a
seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decode
and simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
•tiffin is the county seat of Spalding coun¬
ty, situated in west Middle Georgia, with a
healthy, fertile and rolling country, 1150 feet
above sea level. By the census oi 189W, it
will have at alow estimate between 6 000 and
T,000 people, and they are all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to Becure de¬
sirable settlers, who will not be any less Wel¬
come if they bring money to help build up the
own. There is about only one thing we
need badly just now, gnd that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their accom
modattons are entirely too limited for onr
nsin* s, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, jost mention
