REPRESENTATIVE MEN OF THE COUN TIES THROUGH WHICH IT WILL RUN HOLD A MEETING. Columbus Enquirer 24th, A convention of representative citizens of the towns along the proposed line of the Columbus Southern Railroad was held in this city yesterday. The meeting was held at 4 o’clock in the after noon at the office of the Georgia Midland railroad company. May or Grimes, chairman of the incor porators of the Colambus South orn, presided, and stated the ob ject of the meeting, which, he said, was called for the purpese of wmking action looking to the building of tha road. Delegates from the following counties were present: Chatta hcochee, Stewart, Webster, Lee, Terrell, Dougherty and Muscogee. Mr. G. Gunby Jordan stated that the mecting had been callad for the purpose of having a busi ness conference of those interested in the building of the Columbus Southern. He said as several New York capitalists who are in terested in the Georgia Midland railread are in the ecity, it was thought to be an opportune time to hold this meeting. Mr. Gran niss, Col. Dickinson and Mr. Ho ward Saunders, who had been in specting the Georgia Midland, were in the meeting and could probably be induced to take an interest in the Columbus South ern if the people along the line show a proper interest in it. He also gave other interosting facts, and said if the people would sub scribe to the road as they had to the Georgia Midland ke had no doubt that the money to build it could be obtained. He said the incorporators would be glad to hear from the delegates. Col. Tift, of D agherty -covnty, said he had authority to say that the city of Albany would give the right of way through Its strests and ground for depot purposes, ete. He submitted a resolution, which was read, which had been adopted by the council of Albany, making the grants. He could not say how much money the citizens would subscribe, but he knew they are anxious for the road. Mr. Lowrey, of Terrell, said his county was ahxious for the road and would do all in their power to secure it, and will sabscribe as liberally as they can. Judge Harrell, of Webster, said his county had just built a road without outside aid and was now somewhat crippled, but habelieved that portion of the county through which the proposed line passes will subseribe liberally to the en. terprise. | Judge Castleberry spoke for Chattahoochee county, and said the peopie who live along the line are very anxious for the road, and will subscribe as libetally as they are able to do. Colonel Dickinson said at the request of Mr. Jordan he had looked over the survey and esti mates as made by Major Greene, and was well satisfied that it can be built at the figures published. He said it 'was surprising to know how little loeal capital was asked for to aid in building this road. ‘The people interested are asked to )suhscribe $135,000, only about 10 | per cent. of what the road will cost. He said the road will be }one of the most valuable lines in Georgia. He had no doubt that the people will subserife the money required, and even more if it were necessary. e Col. W. B. Lowe, at the request of Mr. Jordan, made a few re marks. He said he believed the line to be an execellent one, and his company would sabseribe lib erally to it. _Captain T. E. Blanchard, said the ieorporators had hold . con forouve and decidod that thy fol. lowing would be a M portion of the $185,000 necessary to be raised to secure the ?d o From C01umbu5.......... 5cee5.....550,000 From Chattahoochee sounty.... . 10.000 From Terrell eountye. s fi Feoom Aibwaw, .o o, R ' He said $135,000 was the mini mum amount, and he- felt sure }that it could be raised. The in corporators were willing to revise }the apportionment if any one complained that it was not just, but whatever is to be done must be done at once. Columbus must have the road and if the other counties want it they should act as quickly as possible. | Mr. Hood, of Terrell, said he knew his county could raise $25,- 000, but he was not prepared to commit it at this time. Judge Harrell said he thought the apportionment very light, and believed Webster can very easily raise her share. If the line were to run through Preston he would give a check for the whole amount himself. ~ Mr. Lowrey didn’t believe Daw son would be willing to lose the road for lack of $5,000. l Mr. Jordan then said that in order to get the matter in proper 1 shape he would suggest that the delegates presenf upon their re-{ turn home call meetings of their l citizens for the purpose of ascer taining how much money they can raise. He said the incorpo rators had a corps in the field at present locating the line, and are at"work securing the vightof-way. ‘ Mr. Jordan read the fellowing form of agreemeni under which the subscriptions will be asked: “STATE OF GEORGIA, ——— County:—We, the undersigned, each for hiwself, hereby several ly subscribe to the capital stock of the Columbus Southern rail way company, the number of shares and amounnts which are expressed in writing and figures, and at the dates opposite the writ ten signatures of each of us, re spectively. We do severally promise to pay to said company the sum subseribed for by us, for which shares in the capital stock of said company shall b issued to us sevorally, on the basis of oue share for every hundred dollars, “The payment of the sum sub scribed is to be made in install ments, in the following maunner: Whenover twenty miles of the compauy's proposed railroad, be tween Columbus, Ga., and Albany, Ga., shall have been graded and ready for the superstructure, tres tles and bridges, then 25 per cent. of the amount subseribed by each of us, shall be due; and 25 per cent. of each subscription ;hall be due and payable as each succes sive twenty miles of said proposed line shall be graded and ready for the superstructure, trestle and bridges, until the whole proposed line is graded, and the full amount { of each subscription paid. We further agree, when called on, to ‘ execute separate contracts with waiver of homestead, for each sec tion of twenty miles, according to the terms of this subserip ion,” ~ Upon motion of Mr. Jordan blanks for subscriptions were cir culated among the delegates. - There being no other business, ‘the meeting then adjourned. 1 ~ There was the best feeling ex ‘hibited in the meeting and a gen ‘eral confidence that the road will ! be built. It will traverse a splen. did country, and it was. the opin ion of all the railroad men pres ent thay it will be a paying line. In fact, Colonel Lowe stated that he believed that it would not only pay the interest on the bouds, but a dividend on the stock.

Kiooos. iroms Some Buffalo girls, ata little party, recently, got up a newor der, and wished to initiate the young men iuto it mysteries. Fhey took posession of tha Tront parlor and closed. the felding doors, leaving one of their aumber on guard. The gentlemen foundl one youth had disappeared and wondered what had become of him. The lodge being in readi ness for candidates, one of the; young men was escorted into the reom. He found four blushing maidens standing in row in & cor ner of the room, with a chair in{ front of them. Upon this he war seated and blindfolded and then told that ona of the girls would kiss him. If he could guess her name he would be privileged to ‘ repeat the osculation. Of courss, he made a miserable failure; but instead of being ailowed to rtire he was compel'ed to occupy a seat on the opposito side of the room. Just imagine his feelings when tho next victim was led in and had been prepared for the sacrifice, to see the missing, beardless youth rise up, ghost-like, from behind the girls, imprint a good, sound smack on the uplifted and expectant lips of the candidate, and then dodge back to his place of concealment. One after anoth er the young men were victimized The fan of it was, to hear some of them demand more than one trial before the removal of hood winks—one, a well known physi cian, not being content with less than three kisses. He was enthu siastic over their sweetness uantil the sweet was turned to gall as he saw the boy salute his successor on the thorne of mystery. e Gave Her Wrom Candy. An Athens young lady ate and ‘ relished a whole box of worm can dy at the theatre in that city the ether night. She remarked to her escort that it must be a new brand. The young man was in nocent of any deception, and thought the trouble must be with the girl, as he knew he had pro cured her favorite canly—lemon ’ drops. His surprise can be imag ‘ined when he felt in his overcoatl Lpocket and found the lemon drops iand discovered that he had acci ‘dentally given the poor girl a large ‘envugh dose of vermifuge to cure ‘& dozen poople much larger than lshe. He had bought the first named candy for some trouble of his own and placed it and the lemon drops in the same pooket. During the excitement of the play he handed her the wrong package. No Bill Returned. The grand jury adjourned yes terday afternoon forthe present term of court. The jury was en gaged for the past three days ex amining witmnesses in the Erskine murder case, and after a -most thorough and exhaustive investi gntion of the whole affair, failed to find a bill of indictment against Annie More, the aceussed party. Inview of this fact Judge Fert reduced the amount of her bond from $4,000, to $2,000, which later bond she will likely give and go free until the April term of conrt when the case will again be taken up and thoroughly sifted.—Amer icus Recorder.

Young men are buying small tracks of land with a view of entering upon a system of intensive farming. If properly tilled these small farms ~ean be made to produce an amaz iing amount.
