OLD CAPITAL OF GEORGIA—SOL BAR
RETT AND HIS RAILROAD.
• Millkdoeviilk, Ga., October 8
To the Editor of the News and Cou
rier: The people of Charleston and
awny sections of South Carolina will
be gratified to know that Mr. Sol
Barrett, a Charleston boy born and
reared, but who has been a citizen of
Milledgeville for several years past,
has been foremost in the development
of all onr resources and holding in
dueements to settlers, and has just
achieved the remarkable success of
putting in practical operation a dum
my line railroad in the shortest space
of time In the history of any railroad
construction. The engine is the
largest ever turned out from the
works. It will be a paying invest
ment, laying down freight at the
merchants’ doors. On Thursday, Oc
tober 4, 1888, the train came Into
town, with banners flying and several
bands of music, and followed by sev
eral thousand people, making more
excitement than a circus parade.
If Chaileston has anv more such
citizens as Mr. Barrett to give up,
please send them to Milledgeville, Ga.
ON THE DUMMY.

Last Tuesday and W e( Inesday were
the days for the opening of the Fall
Millinery of the several establish
ments In this city. The display of
hats, bonnets, feathers, ribbons &c.,
was very attractive and beautiful at
Miss Keil’s, Miss Bearden’s, and Mrs.
Carr’s Emporium! of fashion. No one
can fail to be suited for they have
everything that will please and at
tract the ladies.
SHE PULLS A CAR THROUGH THE CITY
FROM DEPOT TO DEPOT OF 80,000
POUNDS. OTHER INCIDENTS.
On Saturday afternoon, by invita
tion of President Barrett of the Dum
my Line, we rode on his engine to see
car of 80,000 pounds hauled through
the city, loaded with coal. The oar
was 34 feet long, capacity 50,000
pounds, and its weight near 30,000
pounds. Engineer Perkins took it
through slick as goose grease, and the
Georgia R. R. put It on its track In
five minutes.
On Saturday a new siding was laid
along the Sonth side of the M. A
A. R. R. depot, to reoeive freight.
This line will be extended sixty yards
to the gin house of Mr. Brooks.
On Sunday, (the dummy does’nt go
to Sunday Service), there was a large
number of our citizens on the train
riding for recreation.
Among the passengers, from a dis
tance, we were pleased to meet Capt.
Tinsley, of this city, Capt. J. L. Ham
mond, of Savannah, and Mr. Jam
Wilkes, of the most popular dry-gooi
house in the city of Macon. The chil
dren enjoy the ride on the Dummy
so much. And how could they, or
their parents spend ten cents more
advantageously? It is a treat beyond
anything we ever saw in the city,
As to acoidents, there has not been
one of any importance. Saturday
evening Henry Harrison’s driver got
in the way of the dummy train, and
got punished to the extent of two
wheels of his vehiole. Mr. Ike Miller,
the Conductor, jias been sick, (wore
out by hard work) and Mr, Barrett
has been acting in his place, giving
satisfaction to all. No one oan feel
the least apprehension of trouble
with Perkins, Banett and Miller
aboard. Get on—ride—yes, ride fre
quently. It was a disappointment to
many that the train did not run to
the M. & A. depot Sunday afternoon.
Hundreds have no other time to ride
on the train except on Sunday. But,
with the small force now employed,
it would be a hardship to expect Sun
day work from them. There is not a
smoother track anywhere than our
Dummy, and it is praised by strang
ers.
