As our readers are aware, the Atlanta Weekly Post has entered its third year, having been in Oc ' tober, 1878. • It is beginning to ieel its manhood, and il is no longer an experi ’mqnt, Its am cess during the past year has been ex<- pt tonal, and its popularity constantly increases.

Without elabo: sting, we promise to execute the letter of m r advertisement elsewhere, and shall present the various departments as therein stated. The Weekly Post lias accomplished one great work lor the people. It has set the example of low subscription prices, com pelling other leading journals to follow. But the Weekly Post is still the lowest-priced weekly in Georgia of its size and class, and not a few claim it as the best, though it is not yet what we aspire to make it. In view of the facts Stated, we ask our sub scribers 'generally to aid us in the wide dissemination of the Post. M e want you to aid us in swelling our lists. Look atour club rates, and other rates.

A bill Lias been introduced in the legislature allowing the purchasers of the Macon and Brunswick rail road certain privileges. There ere only two questions to bo determined as to whether the bill 'should pass, and to these we call the attention of the members. 1. Is the State made perfectly se cure in the payments of purchase money? On this point there should not be the least loop-hole of escape. Let the money be promptly paid at the time designated. 2. Will the granting of the addi tional privileges facilitate the build ing of the extension from Macon to Atlanta? Our city is deeply interested in the answer to this question, and everything that tends to an early building of the line should receive encouragement. With the extension built there can be no long delay before we get a line to. the Alabama coal fields, as this company is compelled to have an outlet to the West. When this line is put in operation our people will have two through lines to the sea. If the State is made safe, and the proper assurances given at once for building the extension, let the bill i pass. The Weekly Post only- one dollar a year. “tIROWN OF GEORGIA,” The Louisville Courier Journal has the following to say of our Senator : At all events he flowered out in 1868 as a Republican, attended the Chica go convention voted for Grant, and. as a reward for bis superior dis-, meet, lie subsequently was elevated to the Supreme Bench of Georgia, and later on, having an eye to busi ness, got possession of the State road. He dropped out of politics and made a million. The strange series of events which have called- him forth; she resignation of Gordon, bis ad interim successor appointment by Gov. Colquitt, the.storm of indigna tion whicli ensued, the appeal to the people, the overwhelming popular response, and the final election of this dark, repellant, unloving man to the Senate of the United States, form a series of chapters as exceptional as any in the annals of American poli tics. How far Victor Newcomb and bis railway combination may have set in motion the machin ery which has wrought such cu rious results will perhaps be never known. It is certain that the people of Georgia not only do not believe the stories of the opposition to Gov. Colquitt, but that they see in Gov. Brown a new force. Intelligent out siders, though distrusting the look of things, could not help sympathiz ing with the parly that has triumphed in the fight and look to the reappear ance of Joe Brown, as a solid person, upon the scene of public affairs with ■ genuine interest. He is a picked man, of undoubted abilities and of the current sort, well-backed and rich, not afraid to call his soul his own, not fastidious in his appliances, ambitions and yet young enough to have a good deal of human nature about him. He p. <. fesses to be a Democrat; but not of the Bourbon class, and, if he sticks to that, he will find that there is use for him.

Chattanooga Tinies. Maj. R. G. Huston arrived in the city yesterday from Cincinnati; he leaves to-day for Rome, Ga. Last night, while in the Read House corridor, Maj. Huston was accosted by a Times reporter, who craved some information in reference to the building of the railroad from Chattanooga to Rome, a “consuma tion devoutly to be wished” by all Chattanoogans and Romans, and a matter which has been well talked up dropped and revived time aud again during the past year. Mr. Huston has now control of all the charters for lines to run iroifl this city to the Hill City of Georgia, and what he says on this subject is authoritative. He assured us that the line would positively be built. The company which proposes to build the road con sists of Col. Egan, a wealthy banker of Boston; Jos. Kinzey, one of Cin cinnati’s wealthiest manufacturers; Maj. R. G. Huston and Col. John Neely, the latter two of this city, the gentlemen who constituted the com pany which built the last third of the Cincinnati Southern Railway. This company controls millions of dollars, and is abundantly able to build dozens of lines like the Rome & Chattanooga road. The only cause of delay is the leas ing of the Cincinnati' Southern Rail way. This lease will be made in May, 1881, and then, Mr. Huston as sures us, the work will begin, if not before, and be pushed through with rapidity. He says that when once they commence the road, they do not desire to stop, but to rush it through with the same energy and persever ance which characterized them in the contract on the C. S. Railway. The entire line has been surveyed under Col. Seymour, their Chief Engineer, and M ij. Huston now has in his pos session all the surveys, estimates etc. The line as adopted "’ill be 63 miles in length, with easy grades. The greater portion of the right of way ■iu Tennessee has -already- been-se cured, and she rights in Georgia are being rapidly obtained. Maj. Huston says that the read will not terminate at Rome, but will be extended to Atlanta, giving Chat tanooga two connections with that city, and relieving the Cincinnati Southern Railway from the embar rassing position in which it is now placed being hemmed in at this point, in the power of one line. WIDOW BEDOTT. From the St Louis Times, Monday, Oct. 25th. Haverly’s “Widow Bedott” com pany commenced last evening at the Grand Opdra House to a large and appreciative audience. The “Widow” is presented this season by Mr. C. B. Bishop, a character-comedian who has made his mark in this country. Haverly did well in selecting him for this extravagant role. The ludicrous portraiture of the“ Widow” keeps the house in a constant roar of laughter. Mr. Bishop imparts a new interest of humorous vigor to the laughable char acter and his facial expressions alone establish the success of his effort. The support may be accredited as ex cellent. Elder Sniffles is well treated by Mr. James E. Barrows; Miss Jose phine Perley does exceedingly well as Melissa Bedott, and Miss Emily Las cell is a charming Dotty. Os the com edy itself nothing need be said here. It scored an immense success on first presentation in St. Louis. Petroleum V. Nasby perfected a remarkable dramatization in the Widow Bedott. Haverly’s company will bold the boards at the opera house, presenting the Widow throughout the week. OPINION OE THE PHILADELPHIA PRESS ON MADAME HIVE-KING.

RABUN CAP CONNECTION. Important Railroad Changes—l*relia ble Vnrchase of the North-JEast ern by the Georgia R, JR. A special from Atlanta to the Au gusta Chronicle says: There is no doubt of the movement of some Northwestern railroad combination to form a South Atlantic connection through Rabun Gap. It is alleged that a New York company represent ing sl6 000,060 are iu the field with a profitable connection with the Cincinnati Southern. Advices from Atijeus indicates their possible con nection with the Northwestern Rail road of Georgia, in which case the Rabun Gap extension of that road will speedily be built. This will ne cessitate a connection with the Geor gia Railroad at Athens, and may cause the purchase of the North western by the Georgia Railroad. It is believed that the present manage ment of the Georgia Railroad is not adverse to such a purchase provided the stock can be bought at a reasona ble figure. RAILROAD MATTERS. Home New Developments. The railroad problem of she South has come to the trout again. This necessarily brings into prominence along with it, all the Western Railroad connections. Last+kitur day a bill was filed in the U. S. Circuit Court at Nashville, asking that a receiver be appointed for the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway. Part of the grounds alleged are that the Louisville A Nash ville is discriminating attains! the N. C & St. L. This brings us down to the Western A Atlantic Railroad. There is considerable trouble brewing on this road. It has been concealed for sometime that the Louisville A Nashville Railroad is very anxious to have control of the State road, as it is call ed, because it belangs to the State, They have however bepn disappointed every attempt and manonvre. The act of the legislature authoring the lease of the road and under which it is leased and- operated provides that none but the Original lessees shall direct the road, or vote in the meetings of its stockholders Those gentlemen' who have purchased shares of the lease and were not named in the original contract cannot vote and have beeu debarred from voting their stock in the meetings of the lessees. Even the share of stock which was owned by Mr. Ben May and which was sold at reg ular auction by authority of Court after the death of Mr. May has not been permitted to be voted by the purchasers. The original lessees are each one individually and collectively bound • to the State in a bond of indemnity and cannot be released. If they sell their right to their share in the lease and its profits they cannot also transfer their obli gation to the State, unless by consent of all partie s. Hence, we have the spectacle pre sented of certain gentlemen owning shares in the lease of the State road and yet they are unable to vote their stock in a meeting of the leaseholders. The time for the reg ular annual meeting of the leaseholders is near at hand —it being next February. An attempt was made to have a call mee'ing for next Wednesday, but Col. W. C. Mor rill, the Secretary and Treasurer, would not issue the call. The request for the call meeting was signed by five gentlemen who have recently acquired interest in shares of the lease It is said that they came from Mr. Wadley through Gen. Alexander. THE REAL FIGHT. It comes down now to the point wherein Gov. Brown will have to exhibit his hand It is said tbat his pecuniary interest in the prosperity and growth of Atlanta overbal lances any and every interest that he has outside. Hence ire desires the immediate building of the Georgia Western Railroad, and also the extension of the Macon A Brunswick from Macon to Atlanta. He will oppose every measure looking to a change of the lease act of the W. & A. R. R. in any way whatever, and, furthermore, he will ab solutely refuse to permit any but the origi nal lease holders of the W. & A. R. R. to vote in the meetings of the company. In fact he has decided to hold on to the railroad until the lease expires and then to turn it back to the State in better condition than when he received it. He is now at logger heads with the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and has been ever since the day when Victor Newcombe was in Atlanta and tried to oust Gov. Brown as president of the road and put in his place Gen. Alex ander, then president of the Georgia Rail road. A committee has been appointed in the house of representatives to examine into the lease act and ascertain the circuitous route through which the stock has travelled and in whose hands it is now. This report will be very interesting to alj Georgians when it is made.- Meantime, certain geh tieman who has control of shares of ihetease has employed attorneys to prepare a bill for an injunction to compel Gov. Brown and the others to permit them to vote their stock. This bill is elaborate and covers many pages. It will doubtless be filed in court to-morrow or next day. TEMPERANCE Does Prohibition Prohibit •—The Lo cal Option Lens—How the Tiling Works Some time ago Rockdale county, under a local option law, voted in favor of restrict ing the sale of liquor to quantities not less than one gallon. It was thought that this measure would stop the retail traffic. A few weeks ago the last retail license ex pired in Conyers, the county seat, and the people now have an opportunity of seeing how the thing works. A reporter of the Post-Appeal had a brief interview this morning with a promi nent citizen of Conyers, in the course cf which several interesting points came out. “Conyers is total abstinence now) I sup pose?” said the reporter. “Well, not quite,” was the reply. “I saw more drunkeness down there last Saturday than I have seen in five years.” “That is a bad showing,” replied the re porter. “How did it occur?” •in this way, said the Convers man, “you see tho.se who want liquor are going to have it Some buy it by the galloiqand the jug trade is getting to be a big thing in our town. But a good many get liquor un der a prescription from aphy2.cian. They say they are sick and need a stimulant. A large number come to town and say their wives are sick, and ask the doctors' to pre scribe a little whisky for them. I have heard of more sick women down there than I ever heard of before.” The newspaper man passed on in search of another item, but it occurred to him that our legislators who are engineering local op tion laws through the present session of the Legislature would do well to throw all the safeguards they can around their bills if they desire to make them result in any practical benefit. THE JOLEY CASE. Aa lutrestinr Murder Trial In De- Kalb S ipriar Court. '1 he readers of the Post-Appeal have not forgotten the sensation which was crea ted about a year ago by the discovery of the murder ot Miss Victoria Norris, in’De- Kalb county. The murder was pe.uliarly attrocious. Victoria Norris was an inmate of James Jolly’s house. She was a comely■ looking country girl of good character and was getting ready to te married to a young farmer who appreciated her worths She knew of certain acts which would consign him to the chain gang if they came tolight. Jolly was afraid that when mar ried she would expose him to her husband, and then he would probably fall into the clutches of the law. It was arranged that Miss Norris’should go off on a visit, Jolly carried her away in a wagon before daybreak one morning, and that was the last ever seen of the poor girl in life. Fragments of the lock, the iron bands and the key of her trunk were found in the ashes of a brush heap in the woods many months afterwards and inves ti"ation drew out a number of circum stances which pointed to Jolly as the mur derer. He was arrested and con fessed ana led the way to the plate where the body of the murdered woman was bur ied. Hie remains were disinterred and given a decent burial. Jolly- retracted his confession, then confessed again, retracted confessed, and finally refused to say any thing more about the matter. In one of his confessions he implicated bis brother-inlaw, William Weaver, charging him with being the principal in the murder. Weaver was arrested, discharged, and then arrested again. Monday the adjourned term of the DeKalb Superior Court will commence, and this famous murder case will be called for trial. Able counsel will represent the State aud the defense. There may be some diffi culty in getting a jury, but nearly every qualified juror in the county has:been sum moned, and there is every reason to believe that the case will be tried. The readers of the i Post-Appeal will be be informed of the progress of the trial. , In a short time a fast mail train will be put on the Air Line road be tween Atlanta and New York, and a train leaving the latter city at 4 a. m. will reach Atlanta the next morning at 9:30, or less than thirty hours be tween the two cities. * Fast Soiitnern Mailx at La«t Washington, D. C., November 22 —Du- ring the last session of congress additional appropriation was made for Southern fast mail service. There was a meeting to-day ot Southern managers in this city, at which an arrangement was completed, and it was agreed to put it in effect on the 28th inst. By the terms of this ar r angement a fast mail will leave Boston at 6 p m. and New York at 4.35 am, arriving at Washington at 10.50 am. Leaving Wash ington at 1 I am, it will arrive in Richmond at 240 p m, Atlanta 9.30 am, and New Or- ■ leans the following morning, which will be I equivalent to the saving of one business i day. By this arrangement not only New I Orleans but all int< rvening points between Washington and New Orleans will be bene-, fitted, as this line will perform local service. I The mail which arrives at Atlanta under; the existing arrangement, at 11 p tn, will arrive at 9.30 am, and all cities and vil lages will receive corresponding benefits in the saving of time. Not only will the towns on the line of the route receive such bene fits, but by its connect ons with lateral and the entire service in the South will be great Jy improved. This train will also by con nections from Richmond, continue South ■ via the Atlantic coast line via Wilmington, i Charleston and Savannah to Jacksonville, I decreasing the time to the extent of one business day to the cities nann d. togethe j with their intermediate points, also to points on lateral lines In addition to the above ; train there is also a special fast train on the Virginia Midland, between Washington and Danville, which leaves Danville at 10.- 40 p m, on the arrival of the train which leaves New A ork at 4p m. This Virginia I Midland special train arrives at Danville, ■ Va. at 7.45 am, in time to connect with the Piedmont Air-Line train for the South, . which taken in connection with the other I fast trains, gives the South a double daily fast mail serciee that is unsurpassed else where. The Southern railway managers very kindly placed trains at the disposal of the department, which it promptly accepted knowing and appreciating the value of such service to the patrons of the post office de partment. An Elegant Structure. The first Methodist Episcopal church (South), on Peachtree street, when fully completed after the plan of the architect, Mr Parkins, will be the most elegant and costly church edifice in the Stale. The tall spire now being erected already begins to show its graceful proportions. The style of finish and ornamentation of the spire is of the highest order of hand some architecture. The tower, turrets, etc., are all to be finished in keeping with the character and style of the edifice. As soon as the spire is completed the work of putting on the outside finisn to the main structure will begin. We understand that the estimated cost of the improvements now in progress, tor which the money has all been subscribed, will be about $16,00(1, making the total cost of the church over SIOO,OOO. The audience room of the church, which was’completed over a year ago, is one of the most elegant in the South. It has a seating capacity of abt ut 1,000. The Sunday-school room in the base ment has just been handsomely refitted and supplied with elegant new seats of the hit-. te.= tand most improved pattern, especially adapted for Sunday school purposes capa ble of accomodating between six and seven hundred members. No expense will be spared to make this whole church within and without an honor to the society and an ornament to th* city Garfield is in very bad odor all o ’er the» country, but there is nothing iinpleasan t about the smell Kinslow kerosene. -jKIL ti.-” - - r •TWW'- 1 "’V ’.toping Together front ViJJnjje. ■ \ in< ext, N.

Jt affords me pleasure to hear from you and to hear of your increased suc cess, for I have long been satisfied it was only a matter of time with you when your honest and correct dealings were generally understood, then success would attend you.

I am living on my two plantations in this county, engaged in planting, working free labor and convicts. My time and labor is bestowed on the con victs, which requires all my time. You can form some idea when I say to you that I have not failed a day from business or eaten my dinner outside the plantation since the first of January, rain or shine, cold or hot. lam there from early morn until late at night. lam attending to busi ness. Once every two weeks I leave here • at night for my plantation in Dajlas county, twenty eight miles distant, direct the hands there, overlook what they have been doing, and return home the next night. I feel as though lam getting younger. I have not had a pain or headache iu twelve months; have not taken nor wanted morphine or any other stimulants since I qualified to ray certificate (given you) before Judge Daniel Pittman on the 2nd day of October, 1878. 1 have not tasted or desired stimu lants. My old friends say I am more sprightly than I was when I settled at this place in 1855. It is not to enlarge myself that I have written so much about myself, tor be it due to you all the praise and the glory. Language is incompetent to convey my feelings to you. Your acts of kindness , g to me will ever be cherished with the warm- < est recollections, and be responded to when j called on at any time and anywhere. And , last, but not least, and once for all, if at > any time in the future you should hear that 1 I have taken opiates or stimulants, you tell ? them it is false —false. I would sacrifice ray every earthly consideration first. If you thiak by publishing this statement, af ec having been cured over a year, will add to y*ur interest or induce any one to be freed from that terrible habit of opium, you are at liberty to do so. 1 remain your friend, A.

C., June 21, 1880, I have had opportunity to observe the action of WOOLLEY’S‘OPIUM ANTI i DOTE in several < ases, and J take pleasure in testifying to its merits as a prompt, agreeable and permanent escape from one of the most terrible calamities that can af flict the human race.

He began to improve lifter the first do«e, and before he bad taimen two bottles, was entirely cured, where I feared no cure was possible, and 1 most cheerfully recommend it to all who have any affections of the Lungs. He was coughing and spitting all tbe time, so inces santly that it prevented his sleeping at night, and what little sleep he got did not refresh him in the leapt. Had but little appetite, and since be began the use of Brewer’s Lung Restorer has slept web, a d his appetite is very much belter. I have never seen anything act so prompt!} an I effect a cure iu so short a time.
