T'hehr is much concern manifested throughout this section over the extension of the Macon and Brunswick Railroad. The Bdl having been confirmitl in the Senate with the House amend nents has now become a law, and only uwaits the Governor’s indorse ment. Various surmises are made us to the probable route. Of course the direct exten sion will go somewhere through the central portion of our county. This distance is estimated at from seventy-five to eighty miles, which gives us some hope to think that the road will not miss us very lar. Our people are delighted even at the prospect ol the new road, and no one questions its util ity, both local and general. With a railroad running centrally through our county, it would become one of the best and most prosperous sections in the State. A Cyclopedia for SIO.OO. Perhaps the most remarkable literary en terpri.-e of the time is the publication of the Library ol Universal Knowledge, in 20 vol umes ol nearly 1.000 pages each, handsomely bound, for 50 cents per volume, or $lO 00 for the set. It is a reprint entire of tbe last (1879) Edinburgh and London edition of Chambers’ Encyclopedia : A Dictionary of Universal Knowledge for tbe People, with very large additions upon topics of special interest to A merican readers. The amount of matter will somewhat exceed that of the Cyclopedias of Appleton or Johnson, though the price is but a tract ion of their cost Vol ume one is to be ready early in September, and the others will follow at very short in tervals. The ri markable low prices ure ac counted for by the method of sale, to the subscribers direct, saving them the large commission, often 50 or 60 per cent., paid to agents or dealers; also, by the recent great reduction in the cost of making books, and oy making large sales. This certainly is a work that tbe millions will appreciate. Special inducements are offered to early sub scribers and to clubs The same publishers have recently issued editions of Chambers’ Cvclopedia of English Liturature, 4 vols., $2 00. formerly sold in 2 vols, for $9 00; also, Rollins’ Ancient History and Josephus’ Works, large type editions, for $2.25, and Smith’s Bible Dic tionary, 81.00.
