A charter was granted yesterday by Secretary of Stato Phil Cook, to tho Co lumbus Northern Railway Company, a new lino that iis projected to be built from Columbus through the counties of Muscogee, Harris, Meriwether and Tioup, either to West Point or La Grange, in the latter county, a distance of about (10 miles. The capital stock of the company is put at $100,000 nnd the incorporators are Charles L. DaviR, of Meriwether: O. C. Bullock, T. W. Bates, Arthur Bus sey, L. F. Aumber, E. P. Owsley, Rhodes Browne, T. K. Blanchard, S. B. Hatcher and Ralph O. Howard, all of Columbus. It is said this new line will be built to be operated in connection with the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic. Some time ago an offer was made to the Central of Georgia Railway Com- l>any, it is stated, for its narrow guage line from Columbus to Greoneville. Whereupon, as the story goes, the Cen tral found out what a valuable piece of projierty it had and made plans auil preparations to make a broad gunge roail of it nud extend it on to Newnau, con necting with the Central's main line to Chattanooga and with the Atlanta and West Point. ^ Failing to secure the line,the Atlanta, Birmingham amt Atlantic, it is stated, tins made arrangements to build a Hue of its own from Columbus through this same territory.

Editorial Row About Kissing The greatest surprise to a girl who gets kissed the first time is that there is no taste to it.—Waterloo (Ill.) Times. No taste to it? Well, by the lieu feathers on Cupid’s dart, but the Times man must be color blind in his palate. They tell ns, those who have tried it, that it tastes like the double-distilled essence of honey spread thick on a piece of pumpkin pie. Away back in the dim and joyful years long ago, before we lost all our teeth ami our cinch on the beauty prize, the prettiest girl in all the world told us with tier own eyes that it felt like a covey of quail flying out your ears, and ended up with a sensation like a flock of angels pouring molasses down one's back. No taste to ttie first kiss? Great Scott! It would make a wooden Indian's hair dance and his toenails quiver with ecstacy. The Times man must be an ice house.—Peshtigo (Wis.) Times.
