Speaking of the stm t improvement
now gomg on in tlie city n well-known
pTDfwrtv owner said a day or two ago:
”1 think that the improvement Dow
goinr on in Mu!U*rry *treet U tlie best
thing ot the kind that ha* ever heen done
in the city, if it Imd l»wn started
twenty years ngu wo would have had to-
dny the prettioi street in iln* .^witli. I
flunk, however, that they should go on*
step further. The trees should all lie re
moved from tho center of tlie park from
Third street to Spring. I ntn aware lliat
I will call down tho anathemas of some
people on my head for such a sugges
tion. kit if my |»Uti should b*
I thmk there would bo
satisfaction at it. I
i ay r< move all tho trees
from tho renter* and plant a row on
either side and nut a Ieu-foot wulk down
the ('enter* of the i a-k. No other city
of it* si: e exce|* Macon but has some
promeuudu street. No other city «oj!d
liavo one so beautiful. If Ihe trrea on
tlie sides were large enough when
planted and the error of selerting
mw itches was avoided, it woukt be but a
few year* b*fore they would make good
shade trees. It is only a nurvtioa of
time, and a short time ; t that, that a
promenade up tho renter of Mulberry
Mtrret w ill k* demanded, and the sootier
it is preiwrcd the better it w Ul be. Then
the reservation ou B>ud Hill could be
improved, and there would he what
enrr other city ha* and what Macon
needs—a resort near at lumd where her
eiti/ens could turn for an afternoon air*
log." #
Another gentleman *»id. spooking of
one tiranch of stmt improvement,
namely, the sidewolks: **I think that
Ihe city council nerer did a wiser thing
than when It insisted on tho •paring of
the sice walks of the city. I am a prop
erty hold* r ar.d of roun-? had to comply
with the ordinance; but I think they
made one mistake, and tliat waa in not
going far enough with it. I think tliera
»l»oul<! have been an ln^«ector, whose
duty it would be to ie • (list the work
was properly done. I nave seen some
brick sidewalks laid down that wero
actually worse than tlte w alk was with-
c ut iitetu. I account f*«r It on thegrouml
that many |wr/**i* hire cheap meu to do
by the t mu ^ind, tlie price which (he
jock leg charge* k-ing yet
thousand for laying tlie bra k.
while a rcguLir and n-hablo mason will
clareT only $ !.»*) |s*r tli< 11 and. This is
a saving of only '-Otvnk per UnMifcand,
and a tot.^l of a mu ill aurnunt in the
whole job. Tl»r JacLI w ill follow him*

leu'k m» tlmt no one can see w lint sort of
work is k»ing done, you pay hint and
dram ofapnl job only tv be diaap-
pointed when you remove the send he
has thrown ift your eyes.
It is a pUy that for the sake of i very
small amount tha work is allowed to be
slighted.

Mr. Denmark hn* rufu.td to give tho
name of the n a! purchaser. There to, of

railroad men can rend Mtrraen Ilia litres.
Why would tho Central want to |» «r-

to such a a i^esiion.”
FoMihly they wanted to d^ away with
all cliancea for a Hr*I, and n handy
friend bid it in so tliat tlie tow could uot
conie in and prevent the purchiua by k
railroad corporation
'•No, l do not tliiak tliat to tho case,
continued tho gentleman. #*‘On the ern
trary, the Central h.vs no desire to at
tempt any such games, for detection
would play rad havoc with them, and in
this day and ag*? detection ot such a
fraud to coni|Kiraiivvly oasy.
• I mu not in a |m»itk>a to give you
definite infoimUion, ns I am hound un
der my word not to tell what connection
ci-rtnin parttra luive with the transaction.
You mav m»t iniss it when you put
Alfred Hally down as being tlie real
ownrr now of the Hnvjinnah and Dublin
•Short Line. Mr. Denmark, I think,
made tho purchase. This means tliat wo
aro going to Imvo a lino to connect with
tho Cliftttano**: a. Romo and C'i.r.*oUton
mad, giving tlie West another outlet to
t o cosst. Tho purchase would be
in accordancv wuh tho plana of
Mr. Sully, when ho made hi*
recent trip through tho stnto
selecting thoconuciiims and links for
hi* chain of independrnt roads to bo con
solidated under ono m.inagcuieut.
WIioHior the Savannah, llriflin mid
North Alabama will bo brought into tho
arrangement I cannot tell. Tliat de
pend* entirely on tlie ruling of ll.o court
in the case now j (ending. Theru to ono
tiling that I do believe* and tliat is tliat
the Macon and Dublin, with her fran
chise from Birmingham to Savannah via
Macon and Dublin, to put down os a link
iu tho great chain. The little road, al
though net built, offered $JS,00o for the
sliort Him, and would luive token it at
that (ljnin*. m » portion of that rood had
already liccn graded, and it was a bar
gain.
"Look out far aonio devt X* pments in
the railrnod line in tbe coming thirty
days. Several schemes, which liavo been
kept quiet pending this sale, will not bo
given out until after tho sole has been
confirmed. ”
