Brunswick and Western
Railroad Shops,
“The Contract tor building the new
railroad shops of the Brunswick and
Western railroad was let out last Sat
urday to Ed. Braggins, Esq., who
promises to do the bpok work in three
weeks. The brick and lumber have
been ordered, and will soon lie on the
ground.”—Brunswick Herald.
We are pleased to note the prompt
ness with which the Manager of the
road has gone about this work, and
to be made of brick;
that is so much better. Now, Mr. Gad-
diss, when this Mr. Bragins is through
with the railroad shops, won’t you send
him or some other fit and competent
person up here and let him build us i
brick depot? We need it very much
the traffic of the road is increasing; the
freight receipts to and from this place
demand it, and wc believe the compa
ny’s interests require it. Think about
, and with your usual promptness
attend to this matter, and we’ll climb
to the top of the highest hill and shout
praise wfth a hearty good will.

Ex-Gov, Smith's Speech.
A reliable correspondent writing from
Talbottonin regard to ex-Gov. Smith’s
speech in which he endeavored to ar
ray the people against the railroad in
terests of the State, says: “It was cal
culated to arouse hostility between cap
ital and labor.” That’s bad business
for an ex-Govcrnor to be engaged in—
stiring up the two powers that, com
bined, furnish a lever with which the
world may be moved, and opposed to
each t*theYmust bring discord and ha
tred. The people of Georgia are warn
ed against him. Having some grudge,
or being actuated by some motive, we
know not what, he bids defiance to the
corporations that have opened up the
resources of the country, and tries to
get the people to adopt his “kill the
country policy.” What man is so blind
to reason that he should vote for men
who oppose protection to the railroad
interests of the country? Has not the
railroad companies as much right to
appeal from the tyranical decisions of
the commissioner as a private citizen
has to carry his case from a lower to a
higher tribunal ? The Headmu ht holds
that one has no more rights than the
other before the courts. This is all the
railroads ask—it is all we ask—and it is
all that wo have ever asked for, and
notiiing more than justice. We do
not desire the destruction of the com-
ive want the law governing
its mysterious and one-sided workings
modified, so that the railroad managers
may have a voice in court; that they
may have some control of their proper
ty, and that capitalists may not be
driven from our laud to inves
iting fields. T.uit'» the ul

Wouldn’t some of the natives of Geor
gia l>e surprised if Ex-Governor Smith
should turn out to be a candidate for
Governor. He is making speeches
against the fostering of railroad enter
prises, the building up of the wapte-
placcs in the State, but all this racket
may be a blind to feel the pulse of the
people as to his chances for Governor.
Wo hope the masses know how to treat
him. A man that will stump the State
to check the building up of the country
won’t make a good Governor.

Thirteen negroes' were awaiting trial
in the courtroom at Greneda, Miss., last
Wednesday, when ten whitejnen arm
ed with Winchester rifles entered and
shot eight of them dead, besides wound-
in* others, two of whom have since
died. The negroes had murdered a white
man in cold-blood.
Mr. Thomas Gray, a farmer living
near Nashville, Tenn., returned from
town last Wednesday and found his
wife murdered, shot in the. back of tho
head, while the infant child sat beside
its mother, playing in her life blood. A
negro, John Gillispie, has been arrested
for the crime, it being pretty clearly
proven that he killed the lady in an at
tempt at rape. Lynching is probable.
Refcring to an item which appeared
in this paper last week, Perham, of the
Quitman Free Press says: “Jim Free
man, the crazy editor of the Headlight
wrote the above. He is always trying
to get us into trouble.” This is not the
first case on record where a lunatic ac
cuses his friends of being crazy. We
a*k for an enlargement of the asylop.
Go it, “old *h*rct*U!”
On the Alabama road, about
five miles from town, by the side
of the road, is a lonely grave
that marks the resting place of
an unknown Confederate sol
dier, who was killed during Mlie

people of the neighborhood have
placed asubstautial fence around
the grave.—Rome Courier.
A $60,000 hotel is now on the
tapis at Brunswick. Mr. Mil-
bank proposes to subscribe
$30,000 and the old hotel site
opposite the big artesian well
at its assessed valuation, if the
citizens will subscribe the re
maining $30,000. It is pro
posed to have the building, ex
clusive of furniture or the land
ou which it stands, cost 160,000.
Mr. R. E. Nichols, of Pulas
ki county, bail a young man
ploughing a good horse last week
and he drove the horse, not no-
ticing, into a burning stump
hole % and the horse got both
hind feet and legs into the fire
and before'the suffering animal
could extricate himself, all the
hair^Mid skin was destroyed and
his hodfs will probably shed or

Still the hideous scandals
accumulate. No sooner than
it had been settled that Grover
Cleveland, the boy, did not run
away with his grandmother’s
cat and singe its tail over a
baking fire than it is confident
ly asserted that Grover Cleve
land, the man, oNce belonged
to a fire company and that he
used to jump on the steamer
and make the other fellows pull
him to the scene .of the con
flagration. The sickening de
tails of such an atrocity are apt
to make even the stoutest heart
quail. 4 '
