The Central of Georgia Railway having made many material im provements in the roadbed and track of the Chattanooga division, has decided to put on several of the latest improved engines. The engines weigh ninety tons each and have been thoroughly tested. The installation of these large engines is evidence of an increase of business along the line as well as the prosperity of the company. The first of the new enginees was brought to Griffin yesterday and is known as 1025. An engine of such large proportions will doubt less create some excitement along the Chattanooga road, but will soon become a familiar object and will probably be followed by an improved passenger service.—Grif fin News and Sun.

It is true that the small merehants do advertise, but so many of them consider their advertising as a dis agreeable ami compulsory duty. Some advertise because they don’t want it to appear that their com petitors are the only people who (tan afford to spend money with the newspapers. Others advertise stance for its semblance.
