XPRESS OFFICE” CHRISTMAS
eceived Enough Jugs of Liquor
to Fill Several Cars.
The express office, during the
jeveral day3 preceeding Christmas,
[eceived enough jugs of office liquor to
jli several cars. The was
[lied [ho with people get of their all classes, liquor
went there to
[or Christmas, and at times it was
nmost impossible for any one to
L in at the front door on account
if large crowd, which filled
fie room.
There were a number of buggies
ml wagons standing at the express
ffice until eight or nine o’clock at
light awaiting their turn to get
fieir jug. Some of these paities
ived as far as 10 miles iu the
icuntry.
This condition of affairs has pre
ailed all the fall, for that matter.
[very Saturday night this fail
fora 75 to 125 jugs have come
[ere by express. This very con
ition is growing a strong senti¬
ment iu favor of a dispensary and
he leading business and profes
ional men of Covington are dis

bard s< me of the lt-aui.jg business
ten U of the town .say during the
few days that they believed a
spensary, where the city and
ninty would share equally in the
■ofits, was the solution of M the li
ior problem.
The reason ior mis ^rowing sen
bent in favor of x dispensary is
insed wholly by the heavy jug
ade at the express office every
eek in the year. Roy. R. C.

lurch, relerrod to the subject in

TO BUILD RAILROAD.
From Covington to Farm of
Capt. F. D. Ballard.
The following article appeared
in the Atlanta Journal last Wed
Bosday under a Covington date
line. We reproduce the article in
full aud is as follows;
Capt. F. D. Ballard, a lccal cap¬
italist and large owner of real es¬
tate iu the town and county, has
under consideration aud has al¬
ready planned the building of a
railroad to his farm at Stewart, 18
miles south of Covington.
Captain Ballard believes this
road can be built at a nominal fig
ure because the couutry is so level
for nearly tho whola distance, aud
besides there is an abundance of
timber for crossties all along the
route.
It is not known whether it will
be built as a private road or
whether he will ask for a charter,
but it i.s supposed that a charter
will be obtaiued.
Captain Ballard states that be¬
sides his own subscription, he will
j P rohal), y ask the citizens along
thf ' road an d the p "°P lc ()f thiB cit y
jto subscribe t $25,000, and that
! while no subscription books have
been opened, many thousands of
doHars have already been pled d

this road will develop. It is ex
pected that this will take definite
form iu a short time, and that the
road will be built.
