BLACK BBAUQKT TEA Cares Constipation. 32ocat sterns. n m i,„ in— u m -if | 1 ■■■ mmgSBBB SSSSBHS THAT liAILRi)AD AGAIN! Just one week ago the great question whether or not the Belton, llotner & Carnesville Railroad should be agitated and put squarely before the people, Wits solved by tho cir- 1 dilation of hand-bills and the | Journal, calling a grand meet ing of the citizens of Hall, Bunks and Franklin counties together in Ilonier the lirst Tuesday in March. The inter est manifested in the past week has been very encouraging, in deed. When the question ia asked, “Do yon think it will be built?’’ the answer comes, “There is nothing to hinder us if we will unite arul ail will assist with their influence as well as their money.’’ Railroads are scaicely ever built where the people do not want them, and if there was ever such a spirit of non-inter est along the proposed route, it is safe to say it has long since drifted to the home of the lone Indian mountains, where it be longs. No one will hesitate to rally to an enterprise which wall place him and his posteri ty in the front rank along wifli other Georgians. The leading citizens of a com j munity are looked upon to move in matters of so much im portance, and a minutes obser vation will soon satisfy one of! the magnitude of pahs taken to get the enterprise properly before the people, for there is not a day passes without the question being discussed at length by men who have mon ey and influence. Let the en thusiastic spirit continue until every man will raise his voice however feeble, in support of the railroad, which means more money in the county, more em ployment and better wages, a substantial enhancement of the valuable lands about us, cul ture and refinement in every vicinity. Let the people not rest until the last effort is ex hausted and the undertaking thoroughly investigated. There are but very few conn ty seats in the state that have not railroads, and there is no reason why Banks and Frank lin should not avail themselves of this opportunity. The people are viewing the advantages of the oportunitv from a business standpoint and mean business when they ap proach each on the railroad question. Even the little boys are filled with gladness when they hear it discussed. Even they, know what it is to be “like a ’possum on rotten stump.” When the railroad is cem ipleted(and one united effort | will do this) the old fogy town of Rip Vanwinkle antique will be made anew, the churches and schools will flourish as they never have before, fields of mental and Christian laoorwill be opened up, and the sluggard will be aroused from Ins long sleep, the youth of the country will spring info active life and all this countiy will bloom like the garden and blossom like the rose.
