What are our puny little snacks of kickshaws compared with the (largantuau feasts to which $1,000,000 BEING 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.

They 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. has assumed her best gown for uu oc cnslon that Is so little appreciated.
