Lost OmKRTUNiTiKB.—If the Cen tral road had given Eatonton an out let Maehen’s road to that, pluce would never have been built. An earlier in terest in the M. G. and Atlantic by the citizens of Miliedgeville might have secured that road through this city via Montieello, thus opening a splendid territory to the westward, without infringing upon the franchi ses of tlie Central. Experience is a dear school, &<:. All thut anybodv ean do. is to do tlie best they can to redeem lost opportunities. Milledgi ville is now aroused. Let us hope that it is not too late to accomplish something. The Miliedgeville (lummy line was the first railroad to make a return to the state under tlie provisions of the new law. The last, legislature placed all street railroads on the same footing with other railroads, and now, instead of puying a county tax, they are obliged to make a return to the state. The Miliedgeville dummy line is live miles and a half long, and the return values.it at $10,000. As the read operated by Tommy Edison the electric mule, is valued at that sum, it is nomewhat doubtful if Coni|*- troller Wright will accept the return.- Constitution. _ Miliedgeville wants the M. G. A A. road to pass through it and bantered Col. Meehen recently for a proposi tion looking at that end. We learn from Judge Leverett that a large committee of representative men of Miliedgeville met Mr. Maohen in that city but no deflnat e proposition was made by them. A very serious oh stacle to carrying tlie road to Mllledga ville is in the Central road's charter which forbids the rotul being parallel ed by another, nearer than ten miles. The M. G. & A. will hardly pa-s through Miliedgeville. Hancock coun- tp offers to grade this road through the county if it should extend beyond Eatonton. Eatonton Messenger. Give Him Credit" FREBBYTBRY OF AUGUSTA. The negro may steal, lie may be untruthful, he may he false to Ills marital vows, and other sacred things, but as a news carrier he takes the first prize. The wire and the tele phone are slow when the negro starts out with his news. Let. anything happen in a city touching the negro, in any important particular, and be fore sundown there will not be a ne gro in Baldwin or any other county that hasn't heard the news. Tlie Rule of Two. If a man don’t put something in he can’t take anything out. If he puts n a dollar lie may take a clean made dollar out. on his investment. Tlie man who hugs his dollar may have the satisfaction of knowing that lie has got bis dollar. But if tlie world was made up of that sort of men it would soon become a howling wilder ness.

March 26th, 1880 38 owl} Meeting of This Venerable Body In Onr City. The Presbytery of Augusta conven ed in the Presbyterian church of this city at 7.80 p. in. Friday. The local church and congregation had been looking forward for weeks with in creasing interest, and the people, not onlj of the Presbyterian commission, but also of the entire city were ready to extend to the venerable body a most cordial welcome. Tlie initiatory service was held Fri day evening—Rev. J. D. A. Brown, of Washington, preaching the introduc tory sermon. Mr. Brown is recogniz ed as one of the strong preachers of the Presbytery, and his able, earn eat and eloquent discourse of Friday evening only added to his growiug reputation. After the sermon, organization of the Presbytery was effected by the •lection of Rev. T. M. Lowry Moder ator und Rev. J. D. A. Brown Temp orary Clerk. Tlie second day was devoted to reading the narratives and statistical reports, allowing the condition of the various churches' within the Presby tery's hounds. These reports were on tin- whole encouraging, and allow ed that, the Presbyterians are alive and active in tlie course of extending tin* Gospel both at home and in tlie foreign field. Tint Banner Church of the Presbytery is Washington of which Rev. J. i). A. Brown is pastor, Tills little church, with only a little over forty members has contributed to all the benevolent schemes of tlie ehnrch nearly $1800. This little church is specially zealous in the work of foreign missions. The glorious results are found upon investigation to be largely due to the consecrated heart and hands of the wotuenin the church. Indeed, reports siiow clearly that in every department of church work wo man is In the lead. The same is true, doubtless, in tlie other denominations. The Miliedgeville church, too, came up with a fine showing. The Woman’s Missionary Society of this little church lias done a truly noble work, show big a thorough consecration to this im portant work. A MAGNIFICENT SERMON. On Saturday night Dr. J. T. Plun kett.of Augusta, late pastor of a Pres byterian church in Detroit, Michigan, preached a magnificent sermon. Dr. Plunkett lias recently come into the Presbytery, having been lately called to First church Augusta. He lias made a fine impression upon the Pres bylery and his eloquent preaching while here has completely captivated the hearts of our people. In sound ness of theology,cogency of reasoning, elegance of diction, in short, in all that goes to make effective preaching Dr. Plunkett’s sermons have been simply matchless. As a pulpit orator Dr. P is superb. Personally Dr. Plun- kct.tis a modest, affable gentleman, whose oordiality goes straight to the heart, and makes friends of all who come within the sphere of Ids influ ence. In Dr. Plunkett, the Augusta church and the Presbytery have made a great acquisition. AN IDEAL SUNDAY. Sunday opened bright, beautiful and balmy. If was a perfect day, and the people of tlie city turned out en mass to the various churches. Every body felt glad, ar.d happy and grate ful to the Great. Giver of all Mercy. Ministers of.the Presbytery filled the MetHodiat und Baptist pulpits. Rev. 'I'. M. Lowry preached in the Presby terian chinch by virtue of his official position as Moderator of tlie Presby terv. Dr. Plunkett preached in tlie Methodist and Rev. J. D. A. Brown in the Baptist. These services were all greatly enjoyed by our people. At 3:30 p. in., a mass meeting was held in tlie Presbyterian church in tlie interest o' Sunday schools. Bright and happy talks were made by Mr. Brown and Elder Bowles, and it is safe to say that the little ones were delightfully- entertained, and will long remember tlie valuable lessons taught them by these gentlemen. Mr. Bowles referred most feelingly to his conver sion in the Miliedgeville church over twenty years ago under the preach ing of the venerable Dr. Lane. At, night, according to a rule ob taining among the churches oftiiis city, u mass meeting was held in the interest of foreign missions. The church was filled to its utmost capaci ty, while many remained away from want of room. Rev. T. M. Lowry delivered a most instructive and in teresting lecture, which was listened to with rapt interest by the large au dience present. Mr. Lowry is ac knowledged to be tlie best informed minister within the Presbytery on the subject of missions. His heart is iu tiiis great work and we heard it from several that he ought to go to foreign fields. Tlie whole service was full of interest, and promotive of much good in awakening a wider interest in this great work. PURELY BUSINESS. The business meetings of the Pres bytery have Jjeeu characterized throughout by tlie utmost good feel ing aud genuine harmony. Several matters of vital concern to the’Pres bytery, but of little interest to the general reader, were concerted. Rev. J. D. A Brown and Elder Bowles were elected Commissioners to tlie General Assembly, with Rev. Donald McQueen, and Elder ltobt. Young, Alternates. Soutli Liberty, at Sharon was selected as the next place of meeting, and Friday before the Third Sunday in Sept, the time. The cheapness of Miss S. E. Bear den’s u illinery is attracting considera- ble attention. She defies competi tion aud will make it to tlie interest of every one to purchase their Goods of her. We invite attention to tlie Card of Mr. L. H. Compton, surviving meui tier of tile late firm of P. M. Compton & Son, uoticing dissolution of the.old firm, A complete line of stamped linen scarfs and embroidery material at Miss S. E. Bearden’s. The Middle Georgia & lantic Railroad. At- The controlling consideration in the construction of this road, if we rightly interpret the move ments of the company, is the opening of the shortest practica ble line from Middle Georgia to Savannah or some seaport on the coast. The increasing freight over the Central line, long and tortuous as it is, has suggested to General Alexander, the saga cious president of the road, the necessity of double tracking the whole ronte, to enable it to meet the growing demands of transportation. Tho revenue from freights over this line for tho month of January was if80.000 in excoss of that for the corres ponding month of last year. That thero is an increase in revenues of about 60 per cent., over those *of tho past year, and this in crease if given to the new road will prove ample remuneration for tho construction of the road. The ncreased. percentage is what Col. Machen is after. He proposes to build a road from Atlanta to Savannah of 238 miles, shortening the present hne nearly 60 miles. The value of $o short a trunk line would be incalcula ble. It is not strange that Sparta, Miliedgeville, 8 and era ville and Tennille are all on the qui vive, and eagerly offering the company right of way, depot privileges, and proposing to meet all extra costs incurred in passing by them. Linton and all along Buffalo and about Deopstcp the Herald is glad to say, aro fully awake to tho importance of the road, and will do their duty. Mr. G. W. Bateman called on the Herald yesterday and seemed full of rail road talk. Ho was in Linton on Tuesday, aud says that Prof. Ivy W. Duggan aud a party of gentle men proposo to start to-day, and rido or walk as may be necessary from Linton to Sandersville and ascertain the shortest line be tween the two points. This- he does on his own motion and for the satisfaction and information of the proprietors. His object is merely to ascertain as near as possible the air line distance, the location of tho route still resting with the incorporators. After this lino is ruu, Prof. Duggan then proposes to run a line up tho Ocanee towards Eatonton, and is quite sanguine we learn, of finding a line shorter by sever al miles than tho general esti mated distance, of 34 miles. Let Sandersville prepare to give Psof. Duggan and his party a lively re ception to-day. Meantime let the citizens meet and say to tho incorporators of Hart’s and of Machen’s lines, that they shall have what they want, bring on the road, and guarantee them the right of way, and depot privileges free of eost. —Sandersville Herald A Geor gian, April 3d.
