Rai! Road Figuring After Thou sands of Miles. AND ENTIRE SYSTEMS. May be Swallowed up in the Folds of the Greatestßail RoMroad Combina tion the Earth has Ever Known The Southern railroad is to be, one of tiie most gigantic railroad systems iu the world if cuneut stories are i rue. The eyes of all the world are upon the officials of that road, and no deal that they might consum mate would surprise tne public. The breadth of the undertaking when the Southern was made out of ad< Z 'li lines ot roads amazed the railroad world as nothing had done i;i a <.ecade but what is to come is perhaps o‘ greater magni tude than what his been aoue al ready. The latest in railroad circles is that about two thousand miles of railw iy are yet to be added to the 4.333 miles t lready in the system. The public counts on the Central being included in the Southren altbrough Mr. Comer the receiver says that it will be in here jdi u : , The Central's mileage at the time it was placed in a receivership was about 2,500. The most important rumor now current is that the Queen and Ciescent, witn its 1,192 miles of road, long identified with the Easi Tennessee is to be taken into the fold of the Southern With it will come the Alabama Great South ern. It can be stated on pretty good authority that these Hues will become part of the consolida tion. But not half has yet been told. The New Orleans and Northeastern with 196 miles of road:lhe Alaba ma and Vicksburg with 4 10 miles and (he Vicksburgs Shreveport and Pacific with 176 are said to be slated for the Southern. The Alabama Southern is said to sure to fall into the hands of the Southern under the fore clssure sale of August 22ud, Such are the stories that are go ing about among the railroad men and they are not without a basis in truth. The brainy effective rail road men do not advertise their movements until they consumate what they have in hand but it fre quently happens that despite their vigilance their plans leak out. Tiie men at the head ot the Soutl • era are ambitious to make it a great system of railway hues, a system which will control the traffic arrange ments of the South and it is not be lieved they will stop until they have acquired enough mileage so located as to accomplish this purpose. The scheme is a great one, and has be hind it men competnat to push it to success. Time will develope the nature of the plans of the promoters of the Southern, It is stated that along the line of the contemplated acquisition of the Cincinnati Southern, President Samuel Felton has been ofiered the position as first vice president of the Southern. It is a significant fact that this position has not been filled. The rumor that Sol Haas would get it is without foundation, it seems, The public may confidently await interesting developments concerning the further development of the Southern.

Dear Sii: I sigh for the sight of a gully, since 1 left New York I have uot seen a single one, I have gone through a part of England, then to Belgium by Antwerp and Brussels, into Germany to Cologne, Wieeba detr, Berlin, thence to Prague and Vienna and from Vienna today to this city, and yet I have not been able to find a gully, This ci u.ily is cultiv «ted like a garden only more so, the valleys and mountain slopes which stretch out, often for a great distance be fore the eye, are covered with patch work, and in m mature would look like an old fashioned bed quilt, with squares and triangles and all sorts of shaped nieces fit ted accurately together,some green (grape) some yellow (ripe rye) some between a green and a yel low (wheat just turning) etc, oth> r patches, strips and oduly shaped beds made up of clover, lucurn beets and vegetables of different kinds with potatoes and beets pre dominating. The ground is covered like a carpet over a floor, and in the sun shine it is beautiful. The crops are superb, all grain is called here corn, havejonly seen some of our corn growing except a few small patches in Austria. I have enjoyed my trip this far very much, i.e. since the 9th. inst. for prior to that time I was 30 days on my back in London. I think I will get entirely well again. We sail for N. Y. on the 31st. of Au* gust from South Hampton on the Columbia and will be at home about the middle of September. We are both well. Mr Denny desires to be rem -mbered to you. Remember me to your wife and your neice who lives with you and who I advised to spend your mon ey for you freely find tell her I ad here to that advice. If I live and my litile grand-son lives to manhood, be shall make the trip, when he is about 18, that I am now making. If you have any trouble in read ing the enclosed slips, get Will Beysiegle to translate them for you. Yours truly, J. Branham DAEAD AND DYING. Fatalities in a Deep Well at Plainville.

ROME SCHOOLS The Best System in any city in the South. ARE STEADIEY GROWING An Eighth Grade Added and the old CourtJHouse Leased for Three Years. A Pro gressive Board of Trustees. The world moves and so do the affairs of the Rome Public Schools whose board is now organized as fol lowing—M. M,Pepper, Presdt; W, H, Steel, Secretary ; -T, L. (’amp, Satnu el T Lowry. J, K. Williamson. These gentlemen Lave shown them selves no less conservative than pro gressive—Conservative in that they have retained our already trained superintendant and teachers and ad dedto the corps two excellent teachers in Nliss Bettie Ledbetter md Mi c s Laura Hume ; proggressive iu that they have adopted regulations and made new places of far reaching ben efit to the children of our people. Witness as following:— First: The first section of the new rules adopted is that there shall be eight grades, ’o no longer is itueces sary for our public school pupils to be sent elsewhere to prepare them for college or for business. No longer can our public schools be said to graduate its pupils to° young aim too ignorant, fur the Board of Trustees have ordered that at the white schools the standard sabll be raise 1, These upper grades will be under the care cf Prof, Robert J. Gwaltney, who will preside over the bovs while Miss Kate Roberson will be in charge of the girls, which in effect gives to us at onca a high school for beys and a high school for girl s. This has been a great med to our schools and we have no doubt our boys and girls who graduate hereafter will be able to enter any college in the United States. Indeed Superintendent Harris who made out the cn irse cf study says that i; reaches the Freshman class of the best colleges and to a young man or young lady unable financially to attend co lege it furnishes education sufficient to en able them to enter the study of anv profession or to learn any busim s whatever. Second: Tiie growth of the system has reached its enrollment during the year reaching thirteeu hundred pupils. This has mad of Course a co.responding need for enlarged facilities for the enroll ments shows the attendants ot three hundred pupils 4 more thi n two years ago. Third: The Board has leased for a term of three years the old court house which they are now converting into school rooms and which will give with but little additional cost ample accomma datrous for all pupils. Plans are already made and in a very few days visitors to the old Court house will see it changed into a model school building with every appointment of desks, boards ai d closets. Superintendent Harris says he is specially delighted at the action of the Board in thus sucuring another large well built biick building, so easily adapted to school purposes, so centrally located and affording all the room the system needs- These new school rooms iu the Court house will be well lighted ven tilated and nicely furnished, and now with the main school building,the two wooden buildings and the former Court house, old Tower Hill presents an array of school buildings propor tionate to the needs of our schools. Fourth: The Board has now in press a hand-book giving all the facts, the reports, the regula tions, the course of study—and this will prove in the hands of Reachers and patrons, of great use. The following is the teaching service for the next year, from which it is clear that our children from those learning to read, to those ready, to enter college or business, are under the care of ex perienced faithful teachers.
