The Watkinsville Advance. TERMS,—Oue Dollar per Year. Sixty O-nta fo, 8bc Moath * W atkinsvitle, Ga.,Apr 26,1881. W G. 8TLUVAX, Editor, Publisher A Job Printer, titered at tile Post Office at tyatltfiuvitte Georgia, 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 delivered. The only thing now be¬ ing its ratification by the people of 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, and the paper shows signs of pros¬ 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. The Conyers Examiner has re¬ sumed the publication of the full sized paper again. 1881. 1881. THE CONSTITUTION.. Never in our history has a reliable.
