The Brunswick Railroad Lease
Again.
Although i • this writing the lease of the
Macon and Brunswick Railroad is a settled
fact, there Is no telling what phase it may
assume ere these lines get to the render.
This leasing business ha« been, and rnav
be yet. a vexed question. The low nn'hor
izing it was a plain one. It was a straight
forward statement of what it desired to be
performed. In every clause it sermpd to bp
Hear and unambiguous. On the day named
in the stutnte the Governor offered the road
for tease. Bids wpre made; technical ob
jectionv were nrgpd agynst certain acts,
and amid the prevailing confosion the
proceedings wpre-closed. One man claimed
it ; nnother Said he wa« the lucky person,
whilp others asserted there had been no lease
at all.
Another dav was fixed. Somebody’s bid
took the prize, Bnd matters looked rosy Hut
then thpre was a hitch—a delay. CoTes
pondenco began; trips to New York and
Washington Yvere made ; consultations were
held ; lawyers employed ; threats, proposi
tions and suggestions crime and went rapidly.
Nobody knew what to do or how to do it.
Everything stopped. Kimball said the road
was his ; Wilson said he was the man, and
had a mint of money to plank down when
ever the negotiations should be completed.
The Governor was in a quandary. Finally,
a little light came, and now Mr. Wilson and
his company have the yoad. Who will have
it when Thk Wkiki.v goes to press is all
problematical.
Now, we desire to do even-handed justice
to every one in any way connected with this
perplexing transaction. The delays, vexa
tious and trying though they were.conld not
perhaps have been well avoided. Certainly
Mr. Hines’ voice could not be silenced when,
in the Interest of hi* clients, he publicly
gave notice that he would like to have the
cash for certain bonds in hfs hands. Nor
conld the statement of fhe “ten dollar man"
that he made a bid after all other bids were
closed, be simpfy winked at. These start
ling facts demanded something more tangi
ble. something more real, than winks, or
blinks, or nods ; these obstructing elements
were in the way, and few were plnqky
erwmgh to face them, t • -
However, as we »?fl fh starting out,
everything appears now to be Bcrene, and if
Wilson and Hazlehurst and their associates
are tbe men they are said to be, thoy will at
once take hold of the rbad and faithfully
comply with all the term* of tbe lease It
is a huge teak, full of risk ; hot they are not
to be deterred by any difficulty, however
seemingly insurmountable. So far as we
were concerned, we huve been utterly indif
ferent as to who were tbe successful parties ;
but we did abject to such a waste of paper,
pencil, ink and time as wss expended over
this thing, and rejoice that the matter hus
been finally settled.
We have written the above onder a full
knowledge that Messrs. Wilson St Co. had
secured the road by complying in every par
ticular with tbe terms of the lease; betas
there have been several hitches heretofore, it
were hard to tell what a day might bring
forth. However, it is now safe to say that
the agony is over. The lease and sale has
hem fully completed, and there is notbiDg
more in that direction to be done.
Own or Inorrsoi.l’b Puts.—Here is h
man who should be handed over to Barnum.
No wonder the Solicitor turned from him
with loathigg :
A witness at the Walton court would
not put liie hand on the Hiide when the So
licitor wanted to swear him. He said he
did not believe in the Bible,did not believe
there was any Hod, heaven or hell. The
Solicitor General concluded tliut such a man
was not entitled to be believed on oath him
self.— Athens Banner.
WonmtFDi.—lt is "Dorated” about as
something really wondertul that a full broth
er of the celebrated pianist, Blind Torn, is
working as a “yard hand in the Eagle and
Pltenix Mills, Columbus.” This extraordi
nary fact has elicited the information that
there are several other celebrated characters
who have full brothers honestly at work
somewhere.
Anothicr Railroad.—Here is what the
Gazette says in reference to the proposed
railroad from Wnycross to Jacksonville,
Fla. The enterprise is an assured fact:
As the distance from Wavernsss to Juck
is only seventy miles, it will shorten the
route from Savannah to Jacksonville one
hundred -miles, and the run can l*e made in
six hours. Tbe road will be of great value
to tbe thriving town of Wuycroas "
For Grant.— “A. W. R.in one of his
letters to tbe Macon Idegrajtb, says Loch
rane is tbe most enthusiastic . Grant man he
knows of—“out-whoops the whoopingest of
them all." The rosy Judge predicts huge
probabilities for Grant in tbe South, aod if
he should be disappointed, be will no doubt
think some one has played him false.

Our Sunny Side Lelter.
Mr. Editor :—As you like to hear from
the region round about Sunny Side I wilt
give you a few dots We are ‘ bruising”
dong as usual. The farmers nre hn*y pre
oaring their land for crops of corn, cotton,
potatoes and watermelon*. I know yen
like to hear that th“ people of Spalding are
planting melon patches.
The guano trade itT booming, Wflgons
ean be «een going in every direction, laden
with the sweet-smelling compound. Mr
W. B. Griffin is doing a good business-in
this line. Fie represents several good brnnfis,
nnd is selling it off rapidly. lie is also (th
ing an extensive bus : n’s« in the way of sell
ing provisions on time. Messrs. Dunn ntid
Patterson seem to be doing a considerable
amount of business in this line alio, selling
corn, meat nnd general merchandise.
Mr. A. M. Ramsey is driving ahead in
that same quiet, safe Way that has ever char
neterized his business management. Al
though 70 years old, he has no clerk or oth
er assistant, and attends to the duties of
Railroad nnd Express Agent besides.
Messrs. J. J. M'ckleberry k Go. are doipg
a fine business, pelling goods and guano.
Mr. J T. Bnrford is preparing to move
his saw mill to the low country, wljere there
is plenty of timber.
Some of the farmers in this vicinity are
spooking of planting corn next week, but I
think it early yet. If wo don’t have any
more cold weather it will do.
Mr. Oxford manages to keep busy at his
blacksmith shop all the time, and works like
a Trojan.
Prof. J. O. A. Miller is now deeply en
gaged in teaching the “yonng idea how )o
shoot,” and is succeeding to a degree that is
gratifying in the extreme. I don’t think
his school is very large yet, on account of
the prevalence of mcashs in the neighbor
hood, but it will assume collegiate propor
tions before the Spring advances much far
ther. It is bis purpose to add a music depart
mrnt to the school ere long, if he reecfVes
sufficient cnconragem°nt. If the people
would accord to him the support that he de
serves, it will not be long before Sunny Bide
can vie with any town in Middle Georgia in
the way of educational facilities He i» a '
good worker, both in the school-room and
in the ehurcH. 1
Mt. Kirsey Is improving his place consid
erably. He has erected n neat plank fence
aronnd bis premises, and is now constructing
a carriage home and wheat garner. I like
to see our formers improve their property in
this way ;itis t good sign. Mr. K. also
prides himself on fine stock and buggies. Ilb
is atixions to bny a good-mule just now. but
has been unable to find one that will suit.
, • ,Tj i
Tell Messrs, Harris nnd Wilson to look JtMr
up one. Mr. Harris, I think, Carl suit bill)
best, ms he deals largely' in fancy stock. Y ! ’
Messrs. J. H. kJ. J. E'der are running
their saw mill to perfection.
Mr. J. J. Elder is improving his place
more than any man I know of.
Mr R. J. Manley, Jr , is preparing do
move into bis new house, which is now about
completed. He is inarriad now, and I dare
say could give you valuable advice in f*-
gard to the mnungement of • your domestic
affairs, without having to hire two or three
young siuce-boxes to attend to your cook-!

Dou’t forget to tell Ed Harris about that

Tlie Middle Georgia College.
Mr. Editor .-—As a friend and warm sup
porter o( education, 1 cannot refrain from
noticing the energy and enterprise which
has erected within the limits of onr little sis
ter city of Jonesboro a magnificent structy
urc, and which is occupied by Prof. Looirey
and bis assHar.ts with one of the finest
schools in Middle Georgia. It will be re
memtiered that only a few months ago the
building which hud been occupied for years
for cduc.riiouul purposes. was lie troyed by
fire. Nothing daunted by this misfortune,
Prof. Looney and his friends determined to
repair the losa, and by indomitable persever
ance succeeded in raising funds enough to
erect a building which we in ij justly say i 9
tbe pride of Jouesboro. On last Tuesday
evening, in company with a friend, we spent
a pleasant hour in examining the building
and listening to the recitations of the schol
ars. The house is uinety feet in length by
fifty leet in width. On the ground door are
some small rooms, and three large and com
modious recitation rooms, respectively occu
pied by Prof. Looney, Mrs Crawley and
Prof. Parker, all and each of whom are pro
ficients in their profession. The upper sto
ry is designed as a chapel, and is one of the
largest and best arranged in tbe State. To
appreciate the many conveniences of the
bouse, and its adaptability lor tbe purposes
for which it was built, one would have to
visit aud see for himself. The plao of tbe
construction of the building, we arc informed,
was the original design ot Prof. Looney.
The school is uow enjoying a patronage
of nearly two huudied pupils. After in
specliug the male department, we were cio>
eroned by our conductor into tbe presence
of Mrs. Crawley, who presides with grace
and efficiency over about seventy-five bright
eyed girls. Being a Benedict, 1 was almost
irnpetvious to the mischievous glances of

the trerry school girls, hat my bishful com
panion succumbed at once, and surrender® 1
without discretion. But layingjUl levitv
aside, we must admit that w? were forcibly
impressed with the fact that Prof. Loonev
and his able corps of assistants have well
earned the repn'ation of being among the
best edocators in tin; State, and the indorse
ment that we assert, from a personal and
present knowledge, is that they most cer
tainly deserve it Their system of instruc
tion is not only popular, but of great utility,
and the student who matriculates at their
institution will most assuredly drink from
the fountain of learning. May the school
continue to grow in the future as in the
past, and may it confer npon its attaches
that honor and reward which their labors so
richly deserve. T. (’. N.

Onr Peeksville Letter.
Mr. Editor: —We noticed in a communi
cation not long since from Lowe’s District
that every man. young and old, had an ail
ment of some kind, either real or imag nary.
Not so with ns We have agents here for
all kinds of curatives. One sells a “Blood

the latest innovation upon the old beaten
track comes in the shape of an electric bat

attached to a silk string and worn over the

and continues boring and twisting through
every fibre, muscle and ligament of the body,
even to the peripheral extremities, and erad

Tiie Macon & Brunswick Road.
Yesterday early in tbe day it became
known that the purchasers of tbe Macon
and Brunswick rood were in the city ready
to take possession, and that they brought
with them the executive order from Gover
nor Co'qnitt, giving them the road, in porsu
mice to ibe saie consummated in Atlanta on
Saturday.
As soon as this fact became pretty well
known, it was also discovered that Mr. K.
T. Paine, who is known ns the “ten dollar
man," was on tlie ground preparing to take
advantage of every legal means be could to
prevent the new company from going ioto
possession. Things began to look lively,
and both sides soon found out what the oth
er was doing. A portion of the gentlemen
composing the new purchasers ca.led on the
commissioners of the road, Colonel VV. A.
Loftou and Colonel George S. Jones, aiid
presented tbe official order from the Gover
nor. This they promptly aeknowledgtd and
signed an order to Colonel George W Adams
to tarn over the road to the new company.
The third Commissioner, Dr. E A. Flew
ellen, was sought tor In vain, and it w s at
length ascertained that he had gone into the
countiy to the place of General W. 8. H dt,
.to see a siek Iriend. After obtaining, how
ever, the signatures of a m j.wity ol tbe
* Commission, all took carriages and weivt out
to the depots ol the road, and there the foc
mal transfer ol all tbe stock, appurtenances
uud possessions of tbe road were made to tin.
,uew corporation by Colonel George W.
! Adams,* Superintendent.
Mr. Johnston, tbe new President, immeli
ately assum 'd control aod issued a notice to
all tbe employes of tbeabaege in the man
agement ol the road.
Ad inspection of tbe shops sari depots
and various departments of tbe toad follow
ed, wb?n the party returned to tbeeity. The
transfer was made just at ten o'clock.
In the meantime Mr K T. I’avse had
appeared before Judge Simmons with a
prayer for an injunction against the trustees
of the road, to restrain them from turning
it over to the new company. The bill em
biaced some six pages ot JrgW cap paper,
and set forth tbe entire transaction, froip the
passage of tbe act authorizing the sale to
tbe present time. It alleged that E. T.
l’aine was the lessee of the road under tbe
first attempt to lease tt. That the Governor
bad not complied with tbe law ih not ap*
pointing tbe jcoinmtasioners provided tor in
he act ; that the second attempt to h‘a=e
was a violation of law ; that the Governor
acted contrary to law by leasing and selling
'he mad to parties who were not bidders,
and that the Governor, in reality, in selling
the road to sneh parties, sold it at priv-to
sale and not as provided for in the act. The
bill concluded with the osunl prayer fo- an
injunction The mntter was presented by
Messrs. George Gust in and Joe Hall. A
temporary restraining on Ter was granted by
Judge Simmons, the hearing set for Thurs
day and th" bom? ffxcd'at 8250 000
Mr. Paine went out a« soon as po sible
to serve notice of the order on inteiestpd
persons. lie met Dr. Flewelh u. who had
not signed the transfer, and served it on him.
Colonel Lofton was next limited up and
when the notice was presented. Mr. Paine
wns informed that the road bnd been duly
turned over just half an hour before to the
new owners This ended the matter. Yes
terday aOcrnoon, at ten minutes before 6.
Colonel Conper and Mr. W. M. Johnston
drove up to the court house and left for
record the lease and sale deeds from the
State. They nre executed in due form,
signed by Governor Colquitt, countersigned
by N. O. Harnett, Secretary of State, at
tested by Golonel I. VV. Avery and John
Rhea, notary public, and also signed by Mr.
W. M. Johnston and George II Hazlehurst,
President und Secretary of the new company.
The great seal of the State and the seal of
the road is affixed to each document.
The payment of two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars was made in bonds of the
State of Georgia. The deeds are very inter
esting documents. They have been recorded
in the executive office, and will be recorded
in every county through which the road
passes. Toe only proviso is that no lots of
land now owned by the State in the counties
of I'uluski, I> >dge an 1 Wayne be transferred
witli the road, except so much as is necessary
for depots, right of way, etc.
The sale of the rood and the final disposi
tion of the whole matter gives entire satis
faction here. All feel that the property has
emphatically gotten into the right band*, and
in so feeling deem every interest connected
with the road safe.
There will bo no change in the manage
ment of the road at present. All officials
will be continued, and will slam! on tbeir
merits. This is the first wise step of the
company since they have as noted the reins
of government, und it will do doubt be fol
lowed by a wise administration'of the affairs
of the road.— Macon Telegraph, Id i'st.
A Mistake.
One enthusiastic Grant brother, in Phil
udelp{oy.*» states as the conclusive reason why
he insists Upon Grant am? a third term is
that he wants to rrnke th- Southern rebels
shrink down into tbeir boots and etrae the
day they wore , bora. We suppose ~-tlwt
some sneh forecast of the character qf the
third, fourth and fifth terms', if they are to
come, isais general ar> it is fallacious; bat
there is nothing in the South now which
Grant could possibly lay Irald of as nn oc
casion or an apology for the re-establish-,
moot of a provinct*l domination it) the
Southern c •Uiit.-jr. tie could fill the Fej
erulxjljers with bad and unwelcome ap
pointments., and be conld require his courts
ftnrt to Yxecnta the laws'with n
dtstorittiibofing severity ; but nil this would
amount to little so far as the great body
tbe people is concerned, i'he-e would .con
tinue to enjoy, in the main, the same rights
as the Northern people, nnd the extrava
gance of Grant’s administ cation would
bear as heavily on the North as the youth.
We should all go down into the depths
of imperial autocracy together, and thp
Southern people, in tbe qdint of their
farms, would probably find less personal
vexation in tbe change than tbe Northern
man of commerce nnd trade. We console
ourselves by the reflection that Grant and
the third term and its sequel will, after ell,
be substantially the same North nnd
Houth. The little crowds of fugleman- all
over the Uoion, who are organizing the
third term against tbe will of tbe people,
are doing it to fill tbeir pockets with pub
lic plunder, and if (hey succeed in their op
erations, we may be sure tbe treasury will
suffer. There is not a man of them who
fixes bis anticipated stealings at less than
six figures, and the record shows they will
win if they can secure Grant’s re-election.
But they are compara'ively few. To the
great body o' the people it will prove a
tiresome and expensive business, and the
time will come when there will be as mighty
a Strngg’c to overthrow this corrupt and
unscmpnlous dynasty as we have ever wen
in our political history. — Macon Telegraph
An Important Busiues. Change.
The Rochester Daily Uruoa and Advtr
tiser says :
Negotiations have for n considerable
period been pending between 11. H Warner,
the propiietor of the celebrated Warner's
Safe Remedies, of Rochester, and the con
solidated Fire Extinguisher Company of
Chicago. 111. For tbe benefit of firemen and
all interested in protection of property from
fire, we note the fact that the above named
company now owns and controls ad the in
terests heretofore held by the Babcock, Con
oily, Champion, and tlie 4ireat American
IKitents, together with others of like etiarac
ter that have any possible value. The fac
tory will remuiu at Chicago, where it is now
located ; tbe business office will be in
R 'Chester, where all correspondence in rela
tion to the afluirs of tbe company wi 1 1 be
i received aud answered.
Tbe whole will be under the management
of the enterprising geotlemen, H. H Warner,
who is tbe one that has mad • so popular, the
world over, Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure, Warner’s Sale Diabetes Cure, War-
Qer’s Safe Bitters, and others of tbe Wurner
Safe Remedies.
There eaooot be found io oor country a
man possessing greater energy and pluck
than does tbe one named, or one that can
more successfully cooduct the business of
this “Fire Extiugoisiier Co.” Mr. Warner
has as well a high estimate of tbe value of
“printers' ink” as au accessory to an increase
of business ; the same excellent lever will
doubtless"be used to further tbe interest of
the company. It was certainly a wise and
judicious move on the part of tbe stockhold
ers ot the Extinguisher Ga in making H. H.
Warner their President, Treasurer and Mali
ager. This one act alone is sufficient to
plophesy for the company an unbounded
success.
