The 8., O. & N. A. Extension.
~\Ve published last week a rumor to
the effect that the Central Railroad
authorities contemplated an early ex
tension of the Savannah, Griffin and
North AlabamaRailroadfrom Carroll
ton to Decatur, Ala. Subsequent de
velopments have shown that the ru
mor is well founded, if the following
special to the Atlanta Constitution of
Tuesday can be relied on:
“The directors of the Central Rail
road, by a vote taken in New York a
few days ago, decided not to build the
Carrollton extension from Rome to
Chattanooga. Several of tbedlrectore
were in favor of this line, but the ma
jority opposed it and It was decided
not to undertake it. Another line was
then proposed, stretching from Car
rollton through Attalla to Decatur,
Alabama, and a survey was at once
ordered on this line. The surveying
party will be put in the Held next
week and a preliminary line run at
ence to Decatur, Ala. At Decatur the
new line will be met by the Illinois
Central, which is now building from
Milan to Decatur. This will give the
Central system a new trunk line to
the Northwest."
This begins to look like business,
and those acquainted with the motives
that impel the movement can easily
understand the necessity for extend
ing the road to the point indicated.
We shall see what we shall see.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
Palmetto.
Mr. Editor:—The material for build
ing Col. C. 8. Reid's hall is being laid
on the ground. Work will begin to
morrow. When completed it will be
quite a beautiful structure.
Our Mayor and Couucilmen have
made great improvements on the
streets of Palmetto, especially that
leading to the cemetery. When this
street is finished and the proposed
work done at the cemetery, "Moral
Hill” will bo one of the most beautiful
burial places in this part of the Slate.
The Council propuse to set out trom
3,000 to 6,000 Yutes and Shockley ap
ple trees for shade on Lhs different
streets inside the incorporation. Aside
from the shade and beauty of these
trees, they will be a considerable
source of revenue to the town when
they commence to bear fruit.
The railroad authorities have re
cently constructed two beautiiul parks
here. When theshrubbery is set out
and the walks graveled they will add
greatly to the appearance of our Julie
town.

Mr. Editor:—In last week's Herald
and Advertiser I notice that “Ve
suvius” assails me in a very unkind
wav for simply asking a legitimate
question. As he is but the dupe of
others, I can with some degree of hu
manity look over his “splut-spurts,”
(which spouts from a very narrow
brain.) Who said anything about the
little folks of Newnau?—or the big
folks either, as for that? I didn’t.
No one would have known that the
little folks or the big folks of Newnan
bad misbehaved while out on their ex
cursion if tne poor duped ape had not
told it;—but a hit dog will howl. I
have do disposition to expose any one;
hut if the facts must come your cor
respondent, “Vesuvius,” will be con
frooted by a host of reliable witnesses.
Although he endeavors to justify him
self and others, it can be proven that
shots from Alabama slings were burl
ed into private yards and agalRSt
dwelling-houses, aud that several per
sons came near being struck by the
bullets, which are now on exhibition
and can be seen if this statement, is
doubled. And, if it should become
necessary, this is not all that can be
proven. I am satisfied the fathers and
motberB of the little folks spoken of
by "Vesuvius” would not have them
misbehave on any occasion; but when
some children get out from under pa
rental oversight they will do some
things that they otherwise would not.
I am nut as illiberal as “Vesuvius”
supposes. I love the innocent sports
of cnildreu, but there should be rea
son in all things. Bachelors are poo.
excuses to take charge of children;
tney'are void of paternal leeliugs.
“Vesuvius” says I am “ripe for trea
son, sirategems and spoils.” In an
swering the above I would say that I
have never rebelled but once against-
tUe general government, aud rebellion
at mat lime was general throughout
this section. 1 have never tricked the
government, or any individual; nor
nave I plundered any private or pub
lic office, nor entered into any conspi
racy against the Jews. IVliu is more
contemptible than one who would de
stroy the character of another? Al
though “Vesuvius" is behind the bush,
yet we know who he is, aud will wait
for another shot.

Col. W. A. Post has returned from
Savannah, where he has been on legal
business. While there he made a com
promise in i he celebrated Lambert
case, that the railroad has been stren
uously fighting for four yes rs. In tbe
final disposition of this case tbe Col
onel has abundantly benefited bis cli
ent, and has added greatly to his es
tablished reputation as a successful
attorney. Mrs. Lambert receives
ten thousand dollars in full sat
isfaction of her claim. The sixteen
hundred dollar fee of Col. Post is not
over-oompeDsation tor tbe hard work
performed and the signal success in
which the case has terminated.

Our community is made to mourn
the death of two of Coweta's oldest
and bestcitizens, »hich occurred Iasi
week. Mr. Ricbmoud Sewell, whose
Illness was mentioned in a previous let
ter, breathed his last on Thursday,
April 28th, at his home in Cedar Creek
district. Deceased was one of the first
set lers of this county, having selLled
near tbe place of his late resi
dence in the year 1828. He raised a
large family, cuusisliug of nine chil
dren,all of whomsurvivehiiu. He had
sixty-six grandchildren,forty of whom
are now living. He began life in pov
erty, but by hone6L licks and an intel
ligent system of agriculture be accu
mulated a good properly, but most ol
it was swept away by the iate war.
He was one the best men in the coun
ty. A consistent member of the Bap
tist Church at Macedonia, his Sabbatb
walk was his every-day walk. His
word was his bond. His delight was
to feed Lite hungry and clothe the na
ked, aud one of the rules of his life
was to do unto others as be would
have (hem do unto bim. His remains
were interred in the quiet churchyard
at Macedonia, by the side of the wife
of his youth, aud near tbe grave ol
bis biotber, William. Tbe funeral
services were conducted by Rev. E
B. Bariett, tbe pastor, who preached
irom the text contained in the 7th
chapter and 9th verse of Revelations.
While the congregation sang lhai
sweet and appropriate bymu, “We
Shall Meet on That Beautiiul Shore,”
trieuus and relatives look a last look
at the familiar features of the dear de
parted. Deceased was 79 years old
at tbe time of bis death.
Mr. Warren T. Jackson, another old
landmark aud for several years past
-upenutendeut of the County Poor
Farm, died at tbe farm on Friday af-
■ ernoou last at 4 o’clock, of pneumo-
uia, in tbe 67tb year oi bis age. No
oeiter man ever lived ihau Brother
Jackson. For fifty years he bad been
au exemplary member of the Bap
list Church, aud tbe object of hu
whole Christian life was to do his du
ty. During the last few days of bis
illness his sufferings were severe, but
he bore them with Christian fortitude
io the last. The funeral services wer-
performed by Rev. E. B Barrett,
preaching fr<tm tbe 14ih chapter aud
13lh verse of Revelations.
The death of these two estimable
citizens leaves a void that will long tie
felt, both by the church of which lie
was so loyal a member and by the
coinmnnity at large. Ripples.

Mr Editor:—We are all quiet along

We reached the river about 11 A. M.,
aud the first thing done was tbe selec
tion of a suitable place for dinner.
The cloth was spread and covered with
a sufficiency of what is required to sat
iety the “inner man.” Did you never
observe that the very sight of a stream
of water, and the fact of eating under
tbe shade of leafy branches, fanned by
the tresb, balmy breezes, increaseo
one’s appetite? My surroundings
had such au effect upon me, at least,
and iu consequence I ate twice as
much as I would have done under less
enticing circumstances.
Alter dinner 1 went to work, catch
ing minuows and helpiug to put out
the lines. About au Uour by sun this
duly was finished and I drew out my
niauket, spies . it ou the ground and
lay down to refresh myself with a
cnapter trom “By tbe Gulf of Mexico
with Buskin,” ny Maurice Thompson;
and as I lay there reading that charm
mg piece, with the river gurgling along
oy my side aud tbe slanting sunbeams
sifting through the danciug leaves
which formed a canopy above me—
the beauty of my surrouudiugs bo hap
pily harmonizing with the spirit of
tbe narrative—I experienced a thrill
of pleasure aud delight that will be
long remembered.
At midnight I embarked in the
naueau for tbe purpose of “fishing tbe
lines;” and as 1 plied tbe oar it began
to rain. Tbe same gurgling of the
flowing stream, the sound of tbe fall
iug raiu, the piicb-like darkness, and
the peculiar cast that tbe glimmering
light of my lautero gave to the circle
of my limited vision—with its circum
ference of dense darkness, while its
inner limits were pierced with drops
of rain, glittering like diamonds a.-
they fell—afforded a scene so wild and
romantic as to deeply impress me.
I slept bat little, and got wet besides,
yet I relished tbe reckless dissipation
of the occasion. Have you not had a
similar experience iu the times agone?
I do not iudulge in this sport often,
and am thus enabled to enjoy it ail
i he more when the conditions are fa
vorable.
I don't know when I have seen
anything that interested me more
tban the acoount of Capt. Tom Jones’
plan for raising a Sunday-school fund,
and thiok it worthy of universal notice
and adoption. The eminent practi
cability of the scheme; the ideas and
principles of financial astuteness in
culcated in tbe youthful mind; and
the mature foresight exhibited by the
originator in suggesting the plan, is in
every sense creditable to tbe good
judgment and generosity of Capt.
Tom. A man who has raised himself
to the pinnacle of financial success by
his own practical efforts,as be hasdoDe,
caDnot fail to make an impression
when he offers a suggestion of aDy
kind—and tfieone here Doled does in
finite credit to bis judgment and
perspicacity. And, as a deduction
from the plan herein set forth, I think
it would be a good idea for a father to
give his son, at the age of ten years,
tbe sum of |10, say, aud let the son in
vest it in some way that will yield a
sure and steady return in the -way of
profits, turniDg it over as rapidly and
feasibly as possible until he becomes
of age. Old Fooy.

Struck Oil.
While boring was in progress at Oil
Springs about the middle of last week
oil was struck at a depth of nut more
than one hundred feet. The oil came
up through the tubing and out at tbe
top of the well. The well was closed
lo await tbe coming of tbe president of
tbe company, who arrived here
Sunday, anu at once weut down to the
Springs. A number of persons from
Nacogdoches also went down, but
wbeu tue cap was remuved they were
not invited iu take parr- iu the eeie-
monies. Not abashed by the request
of tbe oil men lo retire, one of the par
ty, whose curiosity aud gall are ab
normally developed, remained lo wit
ness the flow of oil, and his estimate
is, that it' was at the rate of about a
barrel every three minutes. Uf course,
this is merely an off-hand estimate,
aud the How may be greater ->r it may
ue less. Tbe oil men are absolutely
uon-cummuuicalive, aud it is impos
sible to delerunue the true condition uf
things. This much is certain, howev
er, oil has beeu reached, aud it flows
out of tbe well at a rapid rate. Wheth

LOVING THOUGHTS
On’the Life mud Demtfa of Albert Sidney
Camp-
Flown on the wings of rapture! Is this
death?
His hear, is still, his beaded brow is cold;
His wasted breast struggles for breath no more,
And his pale features hardened with the stress
of Lire's resistance, momently subsides
Into a smile, calm as a twilight lake
Bprent with th» Images of countless forms.”
Tbe above beautiful Does by Dr.
Holland came into my mind, when it
was torn by grief for our loved “Sid,”
bringing sweet comfort.
Afteralifeas whi'e, beautiful and
kindly as bis, death comes only as a
sweet benediction—a call from a lov
ing Lord of the Feast to “come up
higher.”
As a boy, bis sunny, happy disposi
tion; his unselfish care of others; bis
kindness to children (of whom the
writer was one) younger and weaker
than himself; his great love for his
mother—ail were Lead-lines of chap-,
tere foretelling In no uncertain words
what the book of his life Would con
tain.
For a great part of bis life the shad
ow—no, it was no shadow to him
—the roseate glow that precedes
tbe rising of the sun of eternal Hie,

If the new liquor law proposed for
Michigan goes into effect Itiat Stale
will uut be the saloon keepers' Utopia
to any great extent. The law pro
videa for a $500 license aud fur the
giving of a lioud amounting to not
less ttiau $3,000, nor more than $6,000.
If a hut-baud, wile, child, parent,
guardian or employer Bhall forbid the
sale ot liquor lo any person and auy
barm come to tJat person by the sub
sequent sale, actual or exemplary
damages may be recovered from tbe
boudsmen, none of whom can be at
ail iutere .ted in tbe liquor business.
No card, billiard or pool tables are to
oe allowed iu bar-rooms, all of which
are to be on the first floor uf buildings
and without screens. Auy violation
of the law is to be followed, not only
by a forfeiture of tbe license money,
but by a revocation of the liceuse.
This law odcb executed will make its
victims wish that Michigan prohibi
tion had prevailed.
A law bas been passed in Arkansas
preventing farmers from morigagiog
implanted crops. The American Cul
tivator thus comments upou the law:
“Tbe mortgaging of crops is a great
evil throughout lbe South, and while
it may seem rather arbitrary to inter
fere with men by law in the manage
ment of their own affairs, those who
do not know better than to mortgage
crops not planted sadly need some
oue to take care of them. The farmer
who cannot get what money he needs
without resorting to such expedients
had better give up farming until he
bas earned money enough working for
some one else to furnish him with
^.needed capital.”
