SPENT BY CENTRAL
Vast Amount of Work is Be
ing Done Between Colum
bus and Newnan. -
The work of extending the <’o-
lumbus and Greenville" branch of
the Central of Georgia railway
from Greenville to Newnan is be
ing pushed and it now seems likely
that by middle summer trains will
be running over the new route be
tween Atlanta and Columbus.
Not only is the line being ex
tended, but in addition to broaden
ing the gauge ltetween Columbus
and Greenville to standard size,
which has already l»een done,many
other permanent and substantial
improvements are 1 icing made
along the line in the way of con
structing big illls to take the place
of trestles, and building better
bridges over the important streams.
A flue steel bridge is being built
over Mulberry creek. Working
crews, steam shovels and other
road building machinery can be
seen at different points along the
route between Columbus, Green
ville and Newnan. Notwithstand
ing these improvements, passenger
trains are being operated on the
road on schedule time, as the old
trestle work is uot disturbed until
the new bridges, fills, etc., have
been completed. In broadening
the gauge it was necessary to re
duce the grade in several places.
The heaviest grade remaining is at
Meriwether White Sulphur and a
big steam shovel is soon to “get
busy” there reducing this grade.
A fine new station is to lie built
at Meriwether White Sulphur, this
being rendered necessary by the
development of the White Sulphur
3priugs property nearby.
It is said that in making the ex
tension and improving the roadbed
between Columbus and Greenville
the Central railway is spending
i? 1,000,000.—Griffin News and Sun.

DESPERATE HEROISM.
Aa Incident of the Indian Plihtlni
llnra In Illinois.
The desperate Intrepidity nnd war
like heroism of the early settlers of Il
linois are Illustrated by an incident
narrated. In "Historic Illinois." The
early days were a time of hardship,
duuger and death. Every forest covert,
every tuft of prairie grass, might hide
some skulking red enemy. Among the
early frontiersmen wns a Captain
Whiteside, whose name became a ter
ror among the Klckapoos.
A party of fourteen white men led by
Whiteside made an attack upon an en
campment of Indlnns of greatly supe
rior force. Only one Indian escaped.
During the heat of the skirmish Cap
tain Whiteside was severely wounded,
be thought mortally, having received a
shot In the side.
As he fell he called to bis sons to
keep on fighting nnd not to yield nn
Inch of ground or permit the suvages
to touch his body. Uel Whiteside, who
had also been shot In the arm, so that
bo could no longer use his rifle, hastily
examined his father's wound, discover
ing that tho •bullet had glanced along
the ribs nnd lodged against the spine.
With that daring and disregard for
pain so often characteristic of border
men he Immediately whipped out his
knife, gashed the skin, extruded the
ball and held It up, crying:
“You’re not dead yet, father!”
The old man leaped to his feet, re
newed the fight nnd bore his full part
to the end. Many such Instances of
heroism distinguished the men who In
those days of peril were called upon to
defend the frontiers of Illinois.
