ON TO ATLANTA.
Georgia Midland to lie K.xtonded ami
Made an Important Through
Line.
Si tv the posing of the Georgia
Midland into receivership, it seems to
have already become a line of more
importance, and that the change will
prove greatly beneficial to it.
And McDonough will share the -ad
vantage too.
Couceruiug this new deal a New
York correspondent of the Constitu
tion has this to say :
“ l'he south has been the scene of
many big railroad changes this year—
changes, Lowever, which concerned
only existing lines aud did not result
in the building of auy uew ones.
In all this shuffling of coutrol Atlan
ta has been the recipient of as much
benefit as any southern city, but now
comes a rumor that means infinitely
more to Atlanta than any of the
changes that have occurred during the
year.
It meaus nothing more uor less than
a new direct line from Atlanta to Jack
sonville—perhaps to the south Florida
coast—and it is to be open for travel
by the op mug of the Cotton States
and International exposition.
1 have it from a highly creditable
source that it is certain to occur. The
new line is to be an extension of both
ends of the Georgia Midland aud Gulf
road. That road, now in the bauds if
a receiver, is to be taken under control
by the present owners, reinforced by
New York capitalists, aud put upon a
firm financial footing. The line is to
be extended from McDonough, to which
place it is now built, to Atlauta, aud is
to have terminal faciliiies in the latter
city equal to those of any road entering
Atlauta. This will give a direct route
to Columbus.
Then, according to the rumor which
I hear, some line already iu existence
between Columbus and Albany is to be
added to the Georgia Midland and
Gulf road, aud from Albany to Jack
sonville an entirely new line of track is
to be built.
This is the rumor as I have it and 1
do not doubt its authenticity, although
I could not get a confirmation of it
from those who are in positiou to know.
Mr. George VV. Parrott, of Atlanta,
was said to be in New York for the
purpose of negotiating the proposed
change.
1 called on him at the Fifth Avenue,
where he is stopping, but he was not
in. Judge 11. B. Tompkins, of Atlan
ta, is also here, and it is said that his
visit may have some bearing upon the
transaction. Other Atlautians of
means are here, and it is not improba
ble that they are engaged in perfecting
the new plan. However, the rumor,
unconfirmed by those iu position to
know, may be set down as practically
correct.
While, perhaps, the full details have
not yet beeu agreed upon, time will
show that the rumored change will
occur.”
The Appointments.
As the North Georgia Conference
appointments were not made public un
til yesterday morning, we are able to
give only a few of them of local inter
est.
Rev. John W. Heidt is presiding el
der of this district.
Rev. J. A. Thurman returns to Mc-
Donough, Rev. W. A. Dodge supernu
merary.
Rev. F. P. Spencer is returned to
Hampton, and Locust Grove gets Rev.
J T. Royal.
Presiding Elder Cook takes charge
of the North Atlanta district.
Our citizens will be much gratified
at the return of brother Thurmond, and
also to have Mr. Dodge one Sunday in
each month.
We take pleasure in calling atten
tion to the dental card of Dr. 0. H.
McDonald, in this issue. Dr. McDon
ald has recently moved from Griffin to
Atlanta, and is well known in Henry
county. He has elegant rooms in
“The Grand” building, and is thorough
ly prepared for the practice of his pro
fession. We feel no hesitancy in say
ing he is one of the best dentists in At
lanta, and those needing work of any
kiud in his line will be well served by
calling on him.
The Juvenile Missionary Society
will give an entertainment at the M.
E. church next Sunday night. This
society has given some interesting and
creditable entertainments in the past,
and this one will not be below the es
tablished standard, as a beautiful pro
gram of exercises has been adopted.
The public is most cordially invited to
attend.
A little over forty five hundred bales
of cotton bad been received in McDon
ough sip to Wednesday morning, mak
ing the number thus far twelve hundred
bales ahead of the receipts of same date
last year. The receipts for last year’s
ectire season were fifty two hundred,
go it is safe to predict that McDonough
will get about seven thousand hales
i this season.
