a* SECOND CLASS MATTER
The H. R. (£ue*tou.
Just before the financial
panic, Which swept <$ef the entire
country, a railroad company* was
formed for a road from Eatonton
to Athens. The company formed
and a charter under the name of
the E&tonton, Madison nnd Athens
Railroad was granted ; estimates
were made, commissioners appoint,
ed, and private subscriptions tc
♦he amount of $250,OX), one-half of
the whole amount required for
the building of the road, subscribed.
Tin’s is known to be by ull means
the shortest, straightest and most
desirable route from Athens to the
coast.
Passing through one of the best
sections of the .State, the people
along the line of road, will be greut
ly convenienccd, lands would in¬
crease in value, the waste places
will blossom and he made to yield
its natural wealth to the coffers of
those now owning and paying taxes
upon worn out and useless old pine
thickets that are now absolutely
worthless.
Again Alliens, as it is gencndly
known, is one of the best cotton
markets to be found in the State,
fir cat numbers of the farmers living
at any distance below us,, would
ship the cotton to Athens for a few
cents rather than haul it away
thereby saving the small amount
that it would cost to ship their
cotton to market.
The advantages of this line of
railroad would he numerous and
we could go on and give a whole
‘column of reasons why it should he
built, but we have said enough this
time, and will say moro in the
future about it.
The Outlook.
The Greenesboro Home Journuj
says, “the outlook of the farmer, U{,
this wri 'ng, is by no means encour
aging in this section of the country.
The amount of wheat and oats
sown lost fall was less than usual,
whilst the unusual severity of the
winter arid opening spring has pre¬
vented the farmer from sowing oats
or planting corn with Bafety. All
kinds of farm work is at least two
weeks behind, whilst the late heavy
rains and fierce winds have swept
away much of the fencing on creek
and liver bottoms, and very much
baked the uplands, in spite of all
these drawbacks, however, wo are
glad to see that the planters are at
work in good spirita and trust that
they will lie rewarded with good
crops in the end. But we must be
pardoned for again suggesting the
great importance of p ituing an un
usually large corn, potato and pen
crop. It will lie both sale ind
profitable to devote a larger area of
land than usual to these crops and
sec that it is well manured and
tilled. If cotton remains at present
prices it will be impossible to pur¬
chase supplies from aoroad with¬
out ruinous losses.”
The above words are the coun
seiings of good advice to the farmers
of the whole country, and we ask
wilt you heed them. We might
add a few more to the already long
list of the besettings and evils that
may happen from planting too
largely of cotton, hut enough has
been said if the advice he followed,
and we leave it w ith you.
A Strange Disease.
A letter to the Herald from the
Paiific railway in Canada describes
a singular disease which has at¬
tacked the hands on the road as fol¬
lows :
“He sat down, apparently |>er
fectly well, to eat hia dinner. Hia
feet began to swell end tlte swelling
extended itself up his legs and
tiodv, resching the vital parts in
about Urn minute#, causing the
abdomen and chest to expand to
most unnatural proportions, and be
tumbled down dead, all in less than
fifteen minntee from the time the
disease attacked his feet. In this
way these people are dying in
downs, and already more than
one hundred have thus been carried
Off.
Thu Walton Railroad.
Three years at farthest, will give
the Walton an outlet and connec¬
tion with the Air-Line or the North
eastern railroad, and at tbe people
dfAUinth dediineto give the Macon
and Brunswick railroad the right-of
•wey into Atlanta, and in view of
Ut« later corahinatione, it ii not ins-
connection with the Walton at
gonial Circle thus perfecting a com
peting system with the Central for
all southern and southeastern Geor
gia. The Richmond and Danville
people who now control the Air
Line and Northeastern railroads,
are amply able t o build all the roads
they need to effect this connection
with Social Circle and a combina¬
tion .with the Macou and Bruns¬
wick people will { make this system
complete.—-WaltOn Videtie.
EDITORIAL JOTTINGS.
The contract between the city of
Athens and the Richmond and Dan¬
ville Railroad Company, lias been
signed, sealed and is ready to be

the city council of Athens. Mr. G.
I). Thomas has returned to Athens,
after having distinguished himself
as one of tin lies*, of railroad lawyeis.
Praises of his g'»od work by the
people- of Athens should he great.
The Americus Recorder, a large
eight-page paper, has been received
by us. It is a model of neatness,

perity. Wo like to receive such
papers as exchanges, brother Callo¬
way, and gladly uhiee it on our list.
The Perry Home Journal advises
the farmers to plant three hundred
bushels of corn toevtyy plough.
