Bill Arp remarks os follows on the
handshaking, and blarney, and gush that
marked what was called “Governors’
Day” at the Atlanta cotton show:
Well, I’m glad to see you all have had
a big powwow over the governors, and
shook hands and buried the hatchet again
and had a love feast. I like that. But
it’s the confoundest hatchet I ever saw.
It won’t stay buried. Every fourth year
it comes up like a locust andgoes to chop
ping around for a lew months and then
wo bury it again. I’m getting sorter tired
of digging graves, I am. Governor Col
quilt lias beeu at it for years and buried
hatchets from Maine to California, but
every now and then the handle sticks up.
I’m goiug to see how long the last one
stays under. Now, I want Mr. Kimball
to give us a Georgia colonels’ day. That
will gather ’em. Their name is legion,
and they will come all the way from
Texas and Arkansas. I used to be a col
onel myself, but the war broke out and I
got reduced to a major. I like it better
than colonel, for the ladles can say it so
sweet and soft, “Good morning, Alalor.”
Oh 1 1 tell you it’s musical. Get to be
major if you can.

Falls From a Window.—About 3
o’clock yesterday evening Lena Glower,
a colored chambermaid at the Gate City
hotel, fell from a second story window in
that building, and was badly injured.
Site was standing in tho window leaning
out and talking to a man on tho street,
when she lost her balance and fell. The
distauce was about twenty-five feet and
tlic stone pavement made it a hard fall.

was dead, but at presont she is in a fair
way to recover, fler injuries were ascer

consist of a badly sprained wrist and arm
aud probably a broken jaw.
How Fast They Worked.—It is sel
dom that anything attracts as widespread
attention in this section as was called up
by the unique feat of the Willimantic
linen company in tho manufacture of
two suits of clothes on Governors’ day.
Everybody had something to say of the
wonderful exhibition of fast machinery.
There was nothing on the grounds that
was considered half as interesting, and
the great space occupied by tho company
presented a scene ot great life and ac
tivity throughout tho entire day. Since
Governors’ day the feat has been univer-
tally discussed, and will afford a lively
topic for months to come. A description
ot this iast machinery would prove of
great interest were It possible to givo it.
But tho intricacies necessary to secure
the degree of perfection that has been
attained, render a description wholly im
possible, Nevertheless the actual time
occupied with each 'machine caunot
/ail to furnish an article tLat
will be filed away for the remem
brance of a great day at the exposition.
At au early hour the cotton was picked
from a patch on the grounds belonging to
Mr. D. U. Sloan, of Norcross. The cot
ton was of the variety known as the Ozier
silk cotton, and was pronounced as fine
short staple as was ever seen in this coun
try. At seven o’clock it was ginned in a
twinkling anu at once started upon the
journey which was to end so quickly, and
in such an astonishingly changed appear
ance lor the cotton. The ginning of the
entire lot required less than twenty min
utes. It was then taicen at once tothe
picker where it spent half au hoar. The
crowd that was watching the process of
manufacture had grown to considerable
proportions, and as the cotton passed from
machine to machine the enthusiasm was
intense. After leaving the picker, the
cotton went to the cards. These beauti
ful and remarkably perfect, pieces of me-
ciianism were wattiied vrith the greatest
admiration. In half an hour it left the
slubber, and in thirty minutes .more it
was being spun into the filling. In twenty
minutes more it was goiug to the loom. As
tiie Compton loom, which was tho one in
use, started with its energetic clatter,there
was enthusiasm enough to give a rousing
three choers. The material for the vest
began to make its appearance at 0 o’clock,
ap.il that for the coat and pants emerged
an hour later. The cloth came through
rapidly, aud at 12:30 the first piece of
goods ior the suits was taken to Thomas’
dye house, end in twenty-seven minutes
had been dyed, dried, and was ready for
the tailors. Tills quick work was done
b7 Mr. M. Henry, wbo represents N.
Spencer Thomas’ dyeing processes. The
manipulation or the loom was dono under
the direction of Mr. J. A. Clark, who is
with tho Compton display. At 12:55 the
cotton that less than six hours before was
hanging upon the stalk was handed to Mr.
Grosse, tho tailor, to be‘cut out. The
sewing was done at tho Wheeler & Wilson
cotton exhibit. At 0:05 the suits were
completed, and at 7 o’clock Governor
Billow was encased in one, receiving a
defecation from the Atlaula University at
tho residence of Director-General Kim
ball, while Governor Colquitt, at the Ex
ecutive Mansion, wa3 admiring the first
walnut picker coat that had ever fallen to
his portion.
A Fine Exhibit.—Yesterday as a
Constitution represeuUtive was strolling
through the main building at tho exposi
tion, his eve fell upon a young lady whose
artistic taste was being displayed by the
manner In which she was arranging a
great variety of farm products. Upon the
lloor around her was a mass of corn, oats,
wheat, potatoes, rye, barley, pumpkins,
cotton, etc., which presented an uusigblly
and uninviting appearance, but upon the
wall these elements were being arranged
by the deft fingers and practiced eye of
the young lady in such a style that tho
passer-by was compelled to wonder
whether it was not a painting be was gaz^
ine upon instead of the rude products of
the ground. “What’s all this?” asked
the pencil pusher of the young lady.
“This, sir, is'the farm. production of
Major J. F. Jones, who lives near
Hogansville, in Troup county. Won’t you
walk in aud examine it?” was the reply,
and the face of the young lady, who
proved to be Majer Jones’ daughter, fairly
beamed with pleasure at the admiration
her work was eliciting from those who
stood by. Accepting the invitation, the
reporter stepped up to tiie wall, aud for a
long time looked at abunebof cotton that
had been tacked thereto. It was of the
Ozier silk variety, and its fleecy whiteness
made one think of the pure falling snow,
when beside it there were six varieties or
cotton seed as well as a large basket of
seed cotton just as it was when picked
from the field. This task was done by
Gordon Jones, a nine-year-old aon of
Major Jones, aud a namesake of Genersl
John B. Gordon, and by him placed on
exhibition. Next to the cotton were sev
eral varieties of oats, which attract a
great deal of attention. They are rust
proof, and the grains are of remarkable
size. For a back ground this display
of oats had bundle after bundle of
fodder, whose long broad blades are
truly marvelous. Then came a dis
play of wheat. There were three
varieties, and each of them is free from
rust. There was the red wheat with Us
large plump grains; the Bill Dallas,
with its oblong tat grain, and the amber,
whose beautllul tint makes it an especial
favorite with the ladies. Wheat and corn
are closely allied, aud Major Jones, real
izing this fact, has made a fine display of
both. Of the corn there are four kinds:
there is the dwarf, whose short stumpy
ears cause one to think of the days when
lie fed the calves the nubbins; then there
is the flint, with its long ears and hard
grains, and the pearl, whose whiteness
makes it the com for meal. But the
finest sample of com is the Peabody.
This corn was brought from the West
during the war, and soon became a fa
vorite in the South, where no one pro
duces a finer sample than Major Jones,
who has raised 100 bsuhols to the acre.
Beside the com are some stalks which
are eighteen feet tall. Potatoes in all
sizes, shapes and variety are here too—
the sweet potatoes, in three va
rieties, and the Irish potatoes in
endless variety. “Well, this is a
singular farm,” remarked the re
porter. “Yes,” said Miss Jones; “father
thinks so; I think so; you tbiDk so, and
overybody thinks so. We raised ail this
ourselves on our place in Troup county.
Father is a farmer, practically and theo
retically, and here is the proof of it.”
While the youug lady was chatting away
the reporter’s eyes spied a large glass jar
of brandy peaches, and in au instant he
said: “Make these, too?” “Ob, yes; we
made these brandy peaches, and here is
something else. See, here’s blackberry
Jelly, currant Jelly, peach jelly, straw
berry jelly and grape jelly. While father
raises corn, oats, cotton, wheat, etc.,
mother and I make jelly. We are inde
pendent, you see,” and to prove her as
sertion true the youug lady walked off

Mm Interview With a Haa Wbo Knows
All About It.
“Morphine? Why, sir, the trade of Ma
con in morphine alone is worth $10,000 a
year—that is morphine and opinm togeth
er. Few people have any idea 'of the num
ber of morphine and opinm eaters there
are in this city and the surrounding conn-
try.” The speaker was a gentleman woll
posted on the subject of whiob he spoke
and entirely reliable.
“What class of people indulge most?”
‘The habit is confined to no class. Peo
ple of all classes and conditions use it,
from tho riobost to the lowest. The lar
gest consumers are well-to-do people,
and this is naturally the vase, for only such
as they can keep it np. It takes a pretty
good sym to supply a confirmed opinm
eater with the drag, and they do not con
fine themselves to the drng, either. Whis
ky, wine, brandy, opinm, morphine—in
fact, anything that can stimulate and sta-
pify will be Beized upon with eqaal avidity.
It is singular, but the majority of opinm
eaters in this city—that is, as far os any
knowledge extends—are ladies or women.”
“How do they get into the habit ?”
“Well, in various ways. To ease nen
ralgia morphine is generally taken, and
after its soothing effect has been felt, it
becomes a remedy with tho sufferer for
every little ache and pain. Bleepleseness,
too, is another cause, and after a liking
for tho drng has been acquired, it is taken
for its effects alono. It is the old story of
whisky over again. The first gloss—the
occasional indulgence—the weeks dissipa
tion—the hopeless case. The only differ
ence ia that ono is conooaied from pnblic
gaze and the other is not. Every houso

Troup county voted 400 majority for
“no fence,” last Monday.

Hill states, in a recent letter to his son,
B. H. Hill, Jr., “that ho feels greatly en
couraged over bis present it ion. Ho
had been over to Philadelphia to visit
Dr. Gross, and that physician bad told
him that his longue was healed and well,
and so soon as a little stiffness was over

CitY Marshal’s Sale—Yesterday
only a limited number of persons attended
the sale oi the lots, which had been ad
vertised by the marshal on account of de
linquent taxes. Out of the three hundred
and eighty-two lots which had been ad
vertised, only ono hundred and three
were told, the remaining two hundred
and seventy-nine having been redeemed
by the owners between tho dates of adver
tising and the date of sale. Of the 103
sold a majority were purchased by the
city, and that, too, at the amount for
which the 0. fas. were issued.
The Atlanta Post-Appeal reports a
twelvo years old chap of that city as doing
a rushing business selling relics ot tbe
siege to Northern visitors. He purchases
bullets by the pound at the hardware
stores, mashes them with a rock, aud sells
them at ten cents apiece. That boy will
be a highly respected capitalist one of
these days.
One notable thing about the Atlanta
fair is that few Atlanta people visit it.
At least so ono of the Atlanta newspa
pers says.
The Augusta Chronicle says the Au
gusta and Knoxville railway has been
completed for twenty-eight miles. It also
states that on “last Saturday evening the
brokers received telegrams from New
York cancelling ail orders for Confeder
ate bonds, and tbe market yesterday
morning, therefore, was very fiat. Iu
fad, there were no offers for tho bonds at
any price. Id tbe afternoon, however,
fresh orders were received from New
York, and large purchases were made be
fore night at $8 to>$9.50 a thousand. Mr.
John Jay Cohen bought one lot of $40,000,
which had never been opened from the
day they were originally purchased, and
were as bright and new as the day they
were printed, without a coupon off.”

this morning the night watchman detected
ihesmoll of escaping gas, and after a short

We find the following in the Indian

New hands are coming in every day to
work on tbe railroad, and the work is pro

[ yon do not know tho number of honses in
this city where tho opinm habit is the skel
eton. I know ono man who allows his
wire $50 per month for morphine. This
may B.em incredible to you, but it is true.
I have seen her swallow in one dose twenty-
four grains of the drag withont appdk-
ent effect upon her. Another lady takes
whisky and morphine mixed. I have seen
four ounces of morphine and twelvo bottles
of whisky sent to her hoaso at one timo;
it is said she would drink a quart of whis
ky at ono Bitting, when morphino was
withheld from her. Another lady is never
allowed to go out of her house unattended
and is never intmsted with money. An
other lady still has spent every cent she
can lay her hands upon to bny tbe drag,
and now that she can get no more has been
detooted several times secretly exchanging
tho silverware, famitare and even bed
clothes of the hoaso for whisky, or money
to bny morphine. I know of several who
have diod from the constant use of it.
Theso beggar women yon see going about
the town, put every cent they pan lay their
hands upon into morphine. Tho names of
those people ore of coarse kept secret,
and none bat tho druggists and intimate
friends know thorn.”
“Does it not have a peculiar effect upon
those who use the drug ? ”
“Yes, I can tell a morphino eater at a
glance. There is a restless, unsettled—
what yon would call a wild—look abont the
eyes unmistakable. It sometimes, in fact
nearly always, produces a white, chalky
look in tho complexion. But there are
other signs. Fine ont of ton will show it
in their habits and dress. They get into
slovenly habits; their clothingi9not clean,
and an untidy appearance generally marks
them. There seems to bo written in their
eyes and countenance a terrible craving—
a craving for stimulant, and tbe more they
pro deprived of their only comfort, tho
more clearly arc these signs to be seen.
God pity them. They are tiring sorrows in
any household; a heavy tax upon their kin,
and sources of the deepest mortification.
Few over emerge from tho dangerous valley
of pleasure into which they wandor any
length of time. A strong will sometimes
throws off tho habit, bnt the tronble is, the
drug attacks the will first of ail. They loso
not only the will to rid themselves of the
habit, bat even tho desire. When they
reach this stato there is no- hope for them.
It is only a question of thno.”
make a cavity in the mnddy ground called
a “kettle,” and in this they pass the winter
huddled in concentrio oircles, with their
heads together and the posterior part of
their body raised and held immovable,
scarcely lifting their gills even to breathe,
and taking not a particle of food. Singu
lar as it may appear, the fish loses no
weight. It is at such seasons that the tur
tle or terrapin, the worst enemy to the fish
in Georgia, carries on his work of destruc
tion, the torpid fish falling an easy prey to
him. Bat of this more anon.
Tho fish does not grow in winter. In
faot.it only grows daring the months of
May, June, Jniy and August and in a por
tion of September. The month of May is
the month in which the fish demands the
most food and it is of the greatest impor
tance that they sbonld get it. As to its ca
pacity for breedings fish weighing fonr or
five pounds contains on an average 400,000
or600,000 oggs.andit takes.weoks to deposit
them. They are cast ont nnd are supplied
with a mucus by which they attach them
selves to leaves and plants. Eggs that
have nothing to attach to are lost In
from twelve to sixteen days, the fish breaks
forth. As to the growth of tho fish, they
will in three years attain a weight of three
and a halt to fonr pounds; they are a
long-lived fish, specimens having been
fonnd in Austria 140 years of age.
Thosa who contemplate establishing
ponds in Georgia mast hear in mind three
things. First, the ponds must have soft
bottoms nnd vegotation growing in them;
second, they mnst be free of all other fisb,
or the eggs will be devoured; third, tho
ponds most bo kept free of turtles and ter
rapins or the fish themselves will be de
voured. This is the greatest of all troubles.
A gentleman who has been very successful
with the fisb ia this city, had to fence in his
ponds, his first trials being almost failures.
Dredging his pond brought ont over thirty
turtles and terrapins.

lbe Ffib Now Being DomettiCBM In
Georgia Waters—A Few Interesting
Facts Concerning Tlicur
Yesterday evening tho fourth- shipment
of carp to Macon, through the-agency of
oar energetic Congressman, Cel. James H.
Btount, arrived in charge of a special
agent- In this shipment aro contained
eleven hundred, and they wero distributed
from tho Brown House, several gontiemen
coming from. Jones county for them•
As tiie carp appears to have beoomo an
important fish in Georgia waters,, many
enterprising gentlemen having euccew-
faliy raised and propagatod them, and
others making preparations to do so-oit na
extensive scale, a few lints abont tho cuV-
ture,history and valuo of tho fish will not
bo inappropriate. lbe three groups- treated
of in the report of the United States Fish
Commissioner aro the oyprinns enrpis
communis, tho scale carp, with* regular
concenirieaUy-orranged scales, being, in
fact, the oxxginal spocios improved^, tito cy-
prinns carpus specalsris, tho mirror carp,
thus named on account of tho extraordi
narily large scales which ran along tho
sideB of the body in three or four raws, tho
rest of tho body being bare; nnd tho cy-
prinus earpia corinceos sivo ntulns, tbo
leather carp, which has on tho back either
only a few scales or none at all, and pos
sesses a thick, 60ft skin, which foels velvety
to tho loach. Wo shall avoid tho Latin
for convenience. Tho minor and tho
leather carp nre distinguished, from tho
former by a somewhat shorter and. stouter
body.
All three are cultivated in Europe exten
sively for tho table. In Bohemia tlio mir
ror carp, however, is deemed worthless, bnt
in Bavaria and Saxony tho “Scale carp” is
deemed worthless and the mirror and
leather enrp are cultivated. The report
aays that thore is no reason for making a
distinction between any of theso three va
rieties, for if they are genuine specimens
of their species they are, indeed, excellent
and desirable fish. Of the threo, tho leath
er carp is best adapted for shipping, and
tho majority of the carp brought to Macon
are of the leather variety. Tho spawning
time of tiie carp is between May nnd Au
gust.
The carp is partial to stagnant waters, or
snch as have not swiit currents, with a
loamy, muddy bottom, and deep places
oovoredwith vegetation. It inhabits now
the rivers of Europe, particularly tho Elbe,
Weser, Rhine, Danubo, Fo, Rhone,
Garonne, and Loire, then the Bavarian and
Swiss lakes. Even salt water agrees with
tt. They have been taken from the Black
Sea weighing twenty pounds. They have
been cnltitated in tho Manor of Wittingtm
in Bohemia three hundred years, where tho
artificial ponds cover 20.000 acres, and the
annual product for tbe table is GOO,000
carp. In Heese-CJassel, Hanover, Olden
burg, Mechlenburg and Holstoin there aro
also hundreds of ponds.
Tbe fish lives upon vegetable food os
well os upon worms and larvra of aquatio
insects, which it roots np from the mud.
In the moderate zone—oentral Georgia, for
instance—the carp will, at the beginning of
the cold weather, seek deeper water to pass
that period in Bleep. This will occur some
times as early as November 1st, if the win
ter should set in early. They retire in
groups of fifty tb a hundred or more. The
The Batlroad and the Cemetery.
Macon, November 2.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:—
In justice to myself, allow mo to say to the
people of Macon that I still believo I am
right in advocating tho cause of the Bruns
wick extension through the cemetery, al
though there are a very few now who op
pose it and seem to think hard of me for
the great interest I have taken in putting
tho road through there. I am not alone in
this matter. Seven-eighths of the people
of Maoon aro in for it, and are anxious to
see the work finished. Some men who
wero bitterly aud uncompromisingly op
posed to it at first ate now iu favor of U.
For instance, take the best and mo t at
tentive friend that Roso Hill Cemetery
now has living in the world, Mr. J. Madison
Jones, who goos thore ofienor and keeps
the cleanest lot in the cemotery—what does
ho say now ? Lot as see from an extract
from his affidavit in the injunction case
now pending—and I writo this without Mr.
Jones’ knowledge:
“James M. Jones, who, being duly sworn,
deposes and says: Ttiat he has been a cit
izen of Macon before aud since tho loca
tion of Rose Hill cemetery in said city;
that he owns a lot in said cemetery, where
he often resorts and sometimes while
there takes a stroll about the cemetery, in
cluding tho part bordering on tho Oc-
mulgeo river, where tho Macon and Bruns
wick railroad track is being laid; is famil
iar with the gronud of all parts of tho cem
etery; that when the question of extending
said railroad through the cemetery was be
ing agitated in the community, lie was op
posed to it running through the cemotery,
nnd favored the ronte suggested by Capt.
Richard K. Hines, for tho track of eaid
railroad to run around the city, approach
ing the river in the rear of Mrs. Clark's,
and whon it was afterwards stated that
said railroad would tabo in eighty
feet from the river into the cemetery he
was more opposed to it being extended
through the cemetery on account oi a rea
sonable possibility of tho track running
over and desecrating somo of tbs burial
lots, if not tho graves therein; Jor in
stance, the burial lets of Major James
Dean, General Holt, Mrs. Williamson, Dr.
West, Dr. Roosevelt, Dr. Wood, Wikiam
B, Johnson and CcJonei Josepu Bond;
but alter deponent saw publish
ed in the Teleguaks and Mess ex u rat-
the- contract agreed- upon by tho
mayor and council of tho city
of Macon and the authorities of
tho Macon and Brunswick railroad, that
tho railroad wasj only allowed to take
in thirty teet from the river through tho
cemetery; and since the railroad author
ities have commenced grading oad exca
vating deponent has on different occasions
been where tbe hands aro at work on tho
eastern terminus, whoro he saw that the
track of cnid toad passes over* a Vowt, rag
ged and swampy kind of land, until it
reaches noar the foot of Central av*nue,
below Major Dean’s and Gen. Holt’s burial
lot, which is on au average from eoet to
west of said-lot about forty-four feet from
the railroad- track, and about twenty Jest
perpendicular above eaid track. Tho burial
ot of Mrs. Williamson is located on tae
side of a rclling bank, near tho foot of
Central avenue,, the lino of whiuh next to
tbe railroad track could not be ascertain
ed. Bnt the nearest gravo on. said* lot to
tbe track is eighteen feet, which-ii nearer
to tho ltne c£ the track of the railroad
thnn any othea grave in all the cemetern,
said lot beiny abont fiftenn feetperpen-
dicnlar above the track of tl*a railroad.
From this point the track of the. railroad*
[Misses through.a broken nnd rocky. bauk„
to a point beta** Dr. West’s burial Jot, and.
below Dr. Roosevelt’s burial lot, about
forty-four feet from tho east corner,
nnd abont fccty-seven foot from tho.
west corner of Dr. Roosevelt's, lot, from,
the track of tho railroad. From Dr.
Uoosovoit’s lot tbe track of the road passes-!
to a Ijw fiat place nsar Dr. Wocd's-burini
this, the 31st day of October, 1881.
* “J. A. McManus,
“Ordinary.”
Now, there are several prominent men
and owners of tho costliest monuments
and vaults in the cemetery, who were bit
terly opposed to it at first, and who now,
since we have got the grading nearly com
pleted and ail the rubbish, etc., denned up
and hauled out, and the view, which is
very grand and sublime, now complete,
express themselves freely that it is an im
provement and an ornament to
the oemetery and city. Go
and soe for yourselves, and then
I feel and believe that there is not a man
or a woman in Macon who will not agree
to the fact that they have paid us fifteen
thousand dollars to let them do the work
for ns, and pay ns two thousand dollars a
per year to help make Rose Hill cemetery
what every man and woman with a heart
should feel it sbonld be—a plaoe kept clean
and nice, and sacred to the memory of the
loved and lost wbo are sleeping there. I
promise to have that part of the cemetery
looking by far the handsomest in the cem-
eiory; and mark my prediction, thore will
not bo an unsold lot bordering the railroad
track throagh the cemetery. I had more
applications for lots os soon as the road
runs through, on the line of the same, than
I have had in the two years before. So
much for improvement. Now I hope that
all those parties who have so often been to
me and expressed themselves so muoh dis
satisfied at first, and whom I told they
would see, that I was right in advocating
tho right of way through the cemetery, will
go and see for themselves, as tho grading
is abont or nearly completed.
Thanking you, gentlemen, for space in-
yonr paper to reach everybody, I am very
gratefully yours, J. J. Clay,
Sexton Rose Hill Cemetery.

daring frcshote> which would greatly ben
efit said lot. From Dr. Wood’s lot, the
track of said railroad posses, through an
other high bonk below Mr.. William B.
Johnston’s aud Col. Joseph Bond’s burial
lots. Mr. Johnston’s lot, oa tlic east Con
nor of it, is about forty-three feet,, and
from the west corner aboutforty feet from
tho track of tho railroad, and will be abont
fifteen feet perpendicular above the track
of said road. Colonel Band’s burial lot is
also on a. high bank, abont forty feet on tho
oast corner aud about thirty-two feet on
the west corner from the.track of said road,
and on tho east corner abont fifteen feet
and oa tlio west seven feet perpendicular
above tho said railroad. From. Colonel
Bond’s lot tho track of tho road, passes
over a low, flat place* till it reaches tha
western terminus of tho cemetery* next to
tho land owned by Mrs. Clark.
“After deponent saw for himself that the
lino laid out for the track of the road would
not touch any of the burial lots herein
named, which aro tho only burial lots the
track would havo crossed, being nearer the
line of the railroad than any Bthor burial
lots in the cemetery, (besides, tho depo
nent understands that tiie Railroad Compa
ny dosign building a wall between all of
said burial lotB, and the railroad track) in
duces the deponent to change his opinion
entirely, as to the injury he at first thought
the oemetery would sustain by extending
the said road through tho cemetery, and
now believes it will be an advantage to
that pnri of tho cemetery in which it ia lo
cated, by filling np low and unsightly
places, cutting down useless trees and ox-
cavating ragged-looking banks, thereby
presenting a grander view of the river from
that part of tho oemetery than what it does
without the railroad. Deponent cannot see,
nor does he believe, the bnrial lots belong
ing to Maj. Dean and Gen. Holt, Mrs. Wil
liamson, Dr. Wood, Mr. William B. John
son and Ool. Bond, in said cemetery, can or
will be injured or disturbed at any time,
present, or future, by the route of
said railroad, for in no place
does the traok of said road touch either of
said lots or affect ox run near enough to af-
feot either of them. Deponent was asked
for hi3 affidavit touching the question in
the cemotery, but before giving said affi
davit thought best to examine the promises
by measuring the distance oeiween said
lots nnd th6 track of said railroad, which
he has dono as herein stated.
