The S. B. & W. Railroad. **
From the Swaimboro Pine Forest.
A portion of the Company inter¬
ested in the building of the Savan¬
nah Dublin and Western railroad
passed through our county last week.
The object was to see how much en¬
couragement would be given by the
poeple, It is necessary now for the
people along the line of the road to
take stock in it which is not to be
paid until the road is completed. Ev¬
ery man along the lineof road should
subscribe at least one dollar for eve¬
ry acre of land owned by him, for if
the road is built his land will be en¬
hanced more than that much, and he
will still have the land and his stock
in the road also. Col. John M. Stubbs
will deliver an address at the Court
house next Tuesday on the subject.
All our people should hear him as he
is in a position to throw light on the
subject. We will go even further and
and say that all who hear him will
be edified.
We know that there is
tended because Hon. Morris* Dav^n
has been enlisted in behalf of 'the
road to recieve subscription fo^ it
and should you fail to hear Col.
Stubbs next Tuesday, call on yr.

front door where be was arrested.
Dalton died almost -nstantly. Ail
the four wounds he received were
mortal ones. Godwin, who is only
22 years of age, refuses to make

John R. Godwin, one of the meet
prominent cotton factors of Mem¬

But for dreams, that lay Mosaic

surround the recumbent living wi'li

rejoin our brothers, parents, friends;
every year we should become moi-e
and more painfully sensible of the

if sieep that antiehamber of the grave
were not hung by dreams with the

Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 4.—In 1885
George T. Jackson, President of the
Enterprise Factory of Augusta, was
convicted in Richmond Superior
Court and sentenced to the peniten¬
tiary for seven years. He has been
confined at the Old Town camp, but
latterly has been in bad health. Nu¬
merous petitions have come up to
the Governor from different sections
of the State for his pardon, and all
the county officials of Richmond
county, the Judge, jury and Solici¬
tor General, and the J/ayor and Coun
cil of Augusta, among ethers, asked
the pardon. For these reasons, and
the certificate of the physicians that
Jackson is in wretched health and
will not live a month longer in the
convict camp, the Governor this af¬
ternoon granted him a fall pardon,
and issued an order for his immedi
w- dwvuarge. atfeioc was tele¬
