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.

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.

A Judge ot Visilia, Cal., has hit up on a novel method of clearing his dis trict of tramps. Being arrested and taken before him, he lectures them on the enormity of their offense, pro nounces them guilty, and tells them to come uext day and receive sen- ence. Instead, they invariably leave the town at once. It is pretty generally known that not u few young women use belladon na to give brilliancy to their eyes, but it is not so well known that a large majority of those who thus injure their sight aud brave the danger of becoming blind are women who bave light eyes. Dark-eyed women either have more sense or think that their eyes are well enough ns they are. GRAND DISPLAY.
