THE NEW RAILROAD.
The last issue of the Jackson Ar
gus contained the following letter
which is of interest to the people of
Barnesville and this section:
Roanoke, Va., April 20, 1899. —
Mr. Parry Lee, Jackson, Ga.—Dear
Sir: Some two months ago a syndi
cate in Richmond, Va., purchased the
Seaboard Air Line. This road, as
you know, runs from Atlanta. Ga., to
Nortolk, Va. The syndicate is a very
wealthy one and has such men in it
as the Williams’ bankers of Rich
mond. The syndicate is already
looking around to add more feeders
to their line, and they are now survey
ing a road in South Carolina to run
from Hamlet, N. C., to Cheraw, S.
C., Camden, S. C., on to Columbia,
and this will then give by fifty miles
the shortest route from New York to
Jacksonville, Fla.
This syndicate will also want a
feet er to run to Macon and Columbus,
Ga., and also on further west. As
you know, the Seaboard Air Line,
one year ago, completed anew rail
road from Lawrenceville, Ga., to Lo
ganville, Ga. Now, if you will lake
up a map of Georgia, you will note
tnatfrom Loganville to Walnut Grove,
Conyers, Snapping Shoals, Fincher
ville, on to Yatesville, Ga., will open
up an exceedingly fertile -section
where a railroad is badly needed.
There is a ridge from Loganville down
within a few miles of Conyers, and
the cost of grading would be small.
From Conyers to Snapping Shoals
there is a ridge all the way, and the
grading there would be little. From
Snapping Shoals the road would circle
down the river up Island Shoal creek
and strike the Fincherville ridge, and
from Fincherville to Jackson by way
of Cedar Rock. From Loganville to
Yatesville the distance isabout
eighty-six miles, and the cost to build
a railroad over that route would be
less than the average.
Now, coming to the point. Today
I accidentally met a man by name,
Mr. G. A. Croft, Richmond, Va.,
(Lexington Hotel), who, after we be
came acquainted, and he learned that
I was from Georgia, began to ask
quesiions about that section of coun
try. He then stated to me that he
was representing a rich syndicate and
construction company,- and that he
was now getting plans on foot to get
a charter for a railroad to run" from
somewhere on the Seaboard Air Line
to Yatesville, Ga.. to tap the Macon
and Birmingham railroad, so that the
Seaboard Air Line could get into
Macon. He said that he was not at
liberty to name his company, but that
it had ample capital and would push
through whatever it undertook. He
states that he has already broached
the matter to Mr. Walter Smith, of
Barnesville, (mayor ot Barnesville) to
call a meeting of the citizens to learn
what amount of stock the town of
Barqesvilie will subscribe. He states
that no money wdl have to be paid
in by any stockholder uniil the road
has been built, and is in working
operation. He asked me to write to
someone in Jackson and ask that the
tovyn hold a meeting and see how
much stock could begotten up. This,
of course, is a sort of trial to see and
feel the pulse of the people. It seems
to me that Walnut Grove ought to
subscribe about $5,000, Conyers $25,-
000, Fincherville and Snapping Shoals
$5,000, Jackson $25,000, Barnesville
$35,000 agd Yatesville $5,000.
Trusting that you will give this your
careful consideration, and get the
people to act upon the matter,
I am, very trulv,
FITZHUGH LEE.

Mrs. Williams to Build. ,
Mrs. Jennie Williams has closed a
contract with Mr. A. O. Bennett for
the erection of a handsome seven
room cottage home on her lot on
Zebulon street. It will be remem
bered tnat Mrs. Williams home was
burned last fall, and it will rejoice all
the friends of the family to know
that she is to rebuild. The lot is a
valuable one and with this new house
Mrs. Williams will have a delightful
home. Work will commence just as
soon as Mr. Bennett can get ready.
Putnam County Coming.
Mayor W. B. Smith, president of
the Chautauqua, received a letter a
few days since from Hon. M. B. Den
nis, school commissioner of Putnam
county saying that he and the teach
ers of his county would the
inter : county institute in Barnesville,
July 2-8. This is good news and it
will be followed by the same kind
from several other counties. Already
eleven counties have agreed to be
here and ptobably as many more will
come. It is going to be a great oc
casion for the teachers of Middle
Georgia.
Paint Needed.
Barnesville needs painting. Now,
this statement is not intended
create the impression that she needs
a “coat of red,” but that a liberal use
of paint upon a number of our houses
would add much to their beauty.
Commencement and chautauqua will
soon be here ard it behooves us to
beautify, so that visitors may~be fa
vorably impressed. We have the
finest little city in Georgia. Let us
keep up the record and reputation
we have attained.

If men would only take the most com
mon sense precautions against the en
croachments of ill-health, there would be
fewer houses of mourning, and fewer
women left alone almost helpless before
the battle of life is half over. A man’s
liver and stomach are twin machines that
work together, either to make or unmake.
If they work wrong, they deplete and
poison his blood. Impure and impover
ished blood mean sickness and death. If
they work right, they purify and enrich
the blood. A man whose blood is rich and
pure, and whose liver is active cannot well
De unhealthy. Headaches, biliousnesa, in
digestion and costiveness. which men gen
erally disregard, are Nature’s warnings
that the twin mechanism, stomach and
liver, is working against, instead of fot
him. Or. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery is the best medicine to use under these
circumstances. It creates appetite, cor
rects all disorders of the digestion, invigor
ates the liver and fills the arteries with
rich, red. healthy blood As an invigorat
ing. restorative tonic, it is far superior to
all the malt extracts. It is the great blood
maker and flesh-builder. It does not build
sickly, flabby fat as cod liver oil does, but
the firm, muscular tissues of health.
“ Pot the last nine years," writes William
Miller, K*q.. of Mulberry Street. Reading,

fered with a running sore leg. I tried many
kinds of different medicines, and doctors with
out relief. Then I used three bottles of ‘Golden
Medical Discovery • and cap say that I am en
tirely cured. I can now do as good a day’a work
•a the next man.”
