A Kailroad to Dan
burg;.
In our last issue we stated that
Messrs John L. mid A. S. Ander
son, of Danburg, had just returned
from Augusta, where they had been
to look after the matter of getting a
railroad to their thriving little
town.
These gentlemen had been inter
viewing the of!ici ils of the Ge ngia
Kail road us to the feasibility of ex
tending tlm Washington branch to
that point On Wednesday this
week Mr. Gardner, a civil engineer,
was sent up by the Georgia It ulroad
with instructions to prospect for the
route and rc|x>rt He will ex imine
the route very thoroughly and per
haps l>egiu the survey soon.
Mr. John L. Anderson speaks con
fidently of the building of the road;
says it will be between ten and eleven
miles long; that Mr. J. M Smith of
Oglethorpe thinks he can grade it for
eight hundred dollars a mile; that
the entire cost of grading putting on
cross ties etc., will be alrnut twentv
two thousand dollars; that the
Georgia Railroad agrees, whin this is
done, to rent iron and ears, that the
extension will owned by the
parties who build it and its business
will be kept separate from that of the
Georgia Railread.
The gentlemen who nre at the
Im.-vt of this movement, nre energetic
ami thorough going bnsin».wi men,
they will not leave a stone unturned
n:i<i will build the road if it is pos.-i
--l>lo to do so. Washington would
favor and would materially aid the
building »f any other railroad from
this place <• .*■* pt an extension of the
Washington branch, which would rob
lier of her prestigd as a great
distributing center.
it is evident to every thinking man
that the railroad facilities of this part
of tlm country will be greatly in
*-re id by tlm building of other
roads b* fore a great while shall
claps-, ami it b*-ii<s*v*-* our little city
to be up and doing, or else her
involuntary loss* s in the shrinkage of
vahu s will be sev* ral times as great
as a voluntary subscription in a good
round sum to such raiinmd enti-r
--p- s us would iiicrea ie our facili
ties
Tlm Augusta and’ Clintfutrooga
Kailroad will bring Washington
great* r benefit-. Hian any othei road
that ha:; vet I*eeii suggested, arid our
pcopl* will make a graiui mistake if
they do not bend Hmir every energy
toward building it.. \\ hi-n it is built
we will then favor the building of
branch railroads from this place to
Danliin;' ami us mat.y other points
ns possible. Washington Gazette.

G? Tried, in ;he CruciHe.
Aboot twenty yean ago I discovered a little *>rc on my check, and the doctors pro
nouucvd it cancer. I have tried a namber of physicians. Ml without receiving any perma
nent Ia oeflt. Among the nuiulxr were one or two specialists. The medicine tney applied
uas like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement m the papers telling what
S. S. S. had dune for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before l had used
the second IxYttie the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general
health had Uvn bad for two or three ' irs—l hao a hacking cougn ana spit olood contin
ually. 1 a scxvrv pain in my brua>t. After taking six boltks of S. S. S. my cough left
me and I grew stouter than 1 had been for several years. My cancer has healed over ail but
a little s|H>t about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. 1 would advise
every one with cancer to give S. S S a fair trial.
