Gentlemen :—Replying to your
inquiry of Aug. 28th. There are
many tilings that come up
from time to f imo to affect the
process of work of this class
that it is almost impossible to
. accurate . estimate to
give an as
the time .that the roiul bed will
be completed or trains running,
We now feel quite confident
however that the road bed will
be completed from the north end
down to opposite Spring Place
by tlie first of November ami the
( rac | c should reach Murray
county by November 35th and
Spring Place by Dec.
1 st. Kail is now being laid from
both the North and South ends
and they will probably join up
somewhere about the Coosawatee
River as there is a large cut just
South of the Ooosawattee that
may bold them on the South end
until sometime in December.
Altogether this work has pro¬
gressed as well as could be ex
peered under the conditions that
hate existed which have been
i lie worst as to weather that we
Have over seen in this section.
Yours very truly,
Warnin' Williams A Maple?.

CHILDREN’S DAY
At Mount Pisgah Last Saturday Was a
Great Day. How a Visitor
Enjoyed the Exercises.
Children’s Day, Saturday, Sep¬
tember 8, will long be remem¬
bered by all who hail the pleasure
of attending the Sunday-school
celebration of Mt. Pisgah Baptist
church.
Owing to the farm work that is
now on, the crowd was not so *
large as on similar occasions here¬
tofore, but never in the annals of
such observances did a day pass
freighted with such enjoyment.
Supt. W. A. Campbell may
well feel proud of the school who
deported themselves so admira¬
bly.
Hon. A. K. Ramsey made quite
a fitting and wholesome welcome
address, which at once made each
visitor feel “at home,” and take
active part in the programme.
Miss Annie Bates proved lier
self a great factor in the musical
and song service.
Recitations, by both pupils of
the school and visitors, were of
the finest selections, but being a
visitor myself, failed to catch the
names of all who recited. Among
the number, however, were Miss¬
es Belle Butler, Nellie K. Hemp¬
hill, Dora Woods, Earle Henry,
Lizzie Waldroup and the little
Misses Turner.
Deserving of high qommenda
tion are Messrs Webb and Ed
Coffey, Jeff Woods and Morgan
Quarles.
If I knew the name of each pu¬
pil, and our editor would allow
me space, I would gladly give the
names of all who did so much for
the success of t|»e day’s pleasure.
Last, but not least, were the
baskets filled with delicious vi
which impressed me that
good people in that neighbor
hood are in a most prosperous
condition.
Long may Mt. Pisgah school
live and prosper.

A Little Romance of Vacation Season.
w • I want you to meet my broth¬
er Cassius,” says the lovely heir,
ess to Percy Bedoo, as they sit
on the sand at the seaside resort,
according to the Chicago Tribune.
“I shall be delighted to know
him,” responds our hero, idly
digging a hole in the sand, “I
used to have a very dear friend
in N’York named Cassius Bilder
bilt—one of the railroad Bilder
bilts, you know.”
“Ah, indeed!” responds the
heiress.
“Oh, yes. He and 1 and Jim¬
my Merepont Porgan and Rus¬
sell Sc rage and Wally Gastor and
all that, crowd of fellows are such
chums.”
“How interesting it must be to
know all those famous men.”
“Oh, not so very. They are
much like everybody else. After
all, as one goes through life, he
learns that there is but one per
son who really fills his ideal, and
that person, Miss Muchcoyne, is
yourself. I have never seen—”
“Wait just a mi nut?. There
goes Oassius now. Cassius! Oh,
Cassius! Cash! Cash!”
“Will you have it delivered or
carry it home with you?” mildly
inquires Percy BdUoo.
Haughtily tossing her proud
head, the lovely heiress is about
to arise and leave, when a wave
of recognition surges over her,
and she exclaims:
“Mercy! J know you now. You
are the new iloorwalker in the
carpets. I was in the leather
goods until week before last, and
I’m gying to be in the umbrellas
as soon as my vacation is over.”
But Percy, ere the sun went
down had convinced her that she
would better accept a life propo¬
sition in a cozy little flat.
