THE AMERIOUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDERj SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1891. HE STANDS PAT. COL. HAWKINS MAKES NO OVER TURES TO THE R. & O. Savannah Clamoring for an Ezteniton of the Rood—The Rumors that the Cools- .III# and Nashville Sjalera Will Take a Band In the Oame Generally Credited. There la a robust sentiment abroad favoring the assumption that the nego tiation! that were pending between tne L. A N. and the S. A' «fc M. are complete and that the eaetern division of tbit road will be built shortly. * Savannah la elamortng for the exten sion, signifying her readiness to lend a helping hand as soon at olrcumstances shape themselves toward a completion of the road to Savannah. These strong reasons why a deal has been effected between the L <fc N. and the S. A. A M. roads present themselves olearly and forcibly: First: The deep water agitation In Sa vannah has attracted the attenUon^jof the great Louisville & Nashville system] and they desire an Atlantic port outlet. Second: During the month it was cur rent report in the newspapers that the Louisville A Nashville bad secured con trol of the South Carolina railroad and would seek a port at Charleston. The Louisville A Nashville, jointly with the Georgia Central, own, by lease, the Georgia railroad, from Augusta to At lanta. The Louisville A Nashville also own, by lease, the Western A Atlantic, from Atlanta to Chattanooga, and there the Louisville A Nashville has plenty of connections. Had they secured the South Carolina road of course they would have easy ac cess to Charleston. This scheme, how ever, if It were ever seriously thought of, has fallen through, and now it seems that the Louisville A Nashville may come to Savannah by way of the Savan nah, Amerious A Montgomery. Third: That It will offer the shortest route to Birmingham, St. Louis, Cincin nati, Mobile, Pensacola and New Or leans. An Interview with a prominent oltlzen in Savannah in the Press throws no little light on the oomplexion of sentiment in Savannah regarding the completloh of the eastern division of the Sam road: “Tou fellows of the Press liad it down about right about the Savannah, Amor- icus A Montgomery and the Louisville A Nashville yesterday," said a prominent railroader this afterdoon. “Do you know,” he continued, “that I believe that Colonel Hawkins is ar ranging with the Louisville A Nashville. “The very faot that Colonel Hawkins, since his row with the Riohmond and Danville, has made no overtures to that line Is proof positive that he has other resources. “Of course the Savannah, Amertcus A Montgomery can’t remain In the state It now is. That wouldn’t be business— and, 1 tell you, Hawkins is a business man. I am convinced In my own mind that If he Isn’t trading with the Louis ville and Nashville, that he has some other thing In view—possibly as good. “1 feel It all through me that Savan nah is going to be benefited by this dis agreement between Colonel Hawkins and the Riohmond A Danville. I am In a position to know, because of my asso ciation with the business men of Savan nah, that they are ripe for any move ment that will aid the building of the Savannah, Amertcus A Montgomery into the city, If any reasonable assurance is given that It will not be absorbed by Its competitors after it has been built into the city. You people of the Press are on the right line as regards this railroad matter. Keep it np. “Agitation Is the thing now. The newspspen can do more than any other .agency in encouraging Colonel Hawkins. Keepltupi Keep it upP’— TUB FAIR To-morrow Will Bo Continued Until Want. Great disappointment was felt by the whole community when the rain oame on yesterday evening and kept so many of those away from the A. L. L military fair, who were anxlons to attend and make purchases at the closing sale'of remaining goods. During the week a great many of,the goods were disposed of, yet tnneb re mains whloh would most surely would have been disposed of had the weather yesterday evening not been so very In clement. The crowd In attendance, however, was good, when taking Into consideration the attendant disadvan tages. . The mansgement has decided to con tinue the fair during to-morrow, and quite the feature of the last day will be the contest between the young men in voting for the prettiest gtrL This will be a spirited fight, and the number of votes already, polled is very compliment ary to several of our most charming young ladies, and laying aside the fact that the successful candidate will be the recipient of a handsome solitaire dia mond, the testimonial tendered them In the way of ballots will show them that they have a host of admirers. Mr, Roe Edwards won the handsome screen whloh was raffled Friday night. The screen Is a work of qrt, and Mr. Ed wards it to be congratulated upon bit good fortune. To £be ladles is due In a large meat ure the success of the fair, and with their able co-operation the A. L. I. has given to Amerious a-week of more than ordinary social enjoyment Tribute of Respect. Methodist Episcopal Sunday School, November 22, 1801.—Death, even when it strikes down the aged, who have lived out their allotted years, has Its terrors. But how mueh more so when it Invaaes the household to take therefrom the young, whose mystic ties of being are bound in the bundle of life, unfolding from youth to manhood. In the death of Walter Crisp we sympathize with Hit parents In their sad heron?- ment and loss. He is taken from the evil to come and has gone before to join his sister who is on the other side. It is a pleasing thought and not unwar ranted by the Scriptures, to believe that his sister, as a ministering spirit, watched for his coming from the battle ments of heaven, and with her cadences, l or wings of the morning, she escorted hit freed spirit to the mansions in the skies.

An Wqulne Epidemic. There la a queer disease affliotlug the horses In Amnions that promises to spread very generally unless it la ar retted. It attacks the Internal organs of the animals and results fatally in a gen erality of cases. Mr. Thornton Wheat- ley lost a handsome carriage horse from this disease, and there are several other eases that resulted fatally reported.

Prof, Odell Sosrs up Into the Blue Ethe- rial—A Good Ascenfloo. In the presence of an assembled crowd estimated variously at from 3,000 to 3,500, Prof, Odell, the aerial navigator, sailed up among the clouds. The canvas was inflated with hot air and the pstaohuto was attaehed to the small end. When the ropes were slipped the balloon darted np like a greased streak of lightning, and soon was sailing away among the clouds. He ascended to about an attitude of six hundred feet when he ent the rope and desoended In a parachute, alighting about a half a mile from the point where the ascension was made. The parachute’s descent was graceful and steady and made a pretty picture away up in the air. Ou every afternoon at half-past three o’elook the Professor will mahe an as- eonalon, varying the programme on Sat urday with the ascension of a young lady 14 year* old, and a dog. The girl will out the dog loose, and both she and her canine eompanlon will descend by two paraohntes. The only remuneration the Professor receives is from a pnblie collection taken up before each exhibition. “Come across” and look at those evening gloves at Allen's in 8, 12,16 and 20 button. • E.D.ANSLEY, It Is Moss.
