For two days now (Monday) we have had no trains, and already we begin to loci like we ate in one of the rura 1 precincts. No news papers, no mail of any kind, let ters being sont to Augusta to be mailed, and parties leaving and Arriving by private conveyance. Wo only need the old stage line to make the picture complete of Seventy years ago. o o o The “oldest inhabitants’’ tell us that only once before in half a Century luis n day passed without a train of the Georgia Railroad arriving at and departing from Thomson. That was about 25 years ago when the gaugo was changed. From Atlanta to Au gusta this change was made in one day and no trains were run that day, but the next morning bright and early the whistle of tho engine was heard. But, now two days have passed and more to follow. O O 0 But it will help to impress n lesson that the Progress lms been trying to bring homo. We now realize how much wo depend upon the Wont for our living.Only a few days have passed, and yet wt Slicin' of long caravans of wagons oil' for Augusta for supplies, and tho stillness of tho night is broken by Or Working Money. p: k ROGRESSIVE BUSINESS MEN know that, every day o; portunities arise for safe and profitable investment, and : ■ - ulizo tho great importance of ready money in taking adventnv of them. They also realize the advantage ot having their nc- coii.nL in a strictly up-to-dute bank whose manage:; cut keeps in constant touch with tho pulse of trade and finance. But there are people in every community whose savings lie idle birausc they have not, the time or experience to hunt up invest ments.

There were no trains Hunduy, and none since. Thursday afternoon we received a telegram from Augusta, stating trial apparently there ss no prospect of a settlement. 1 Of tti.s however we feel sure, trains | \. id he funding on the Georgia Kntl- ' roa i within a week, i .

In hourly every sec tion of the count y a good stand of or three weeks, At one time it looked ns if the ont crop would be a failure, but the recent rains brought them out until now in the l etter half of the county the crap is considered fine. The wheat crop is also very good. During the yours cf cheap cotton the people of this section of Geor gia planted a good deal of wheat and roller mills were put up all over the state. A good farmer says that when cotton went to 17 cents per pound every body quit. plant i g wheat, enrn etc , witli i!,■- jcsiil! that the roller irills have nothing to do. Tins year there has been a vevival in wheat planting, and perhaps more will be made than any year in ten years. J,ot the good work go on, and in a short while the South would be free from the West and should l lie Georgia Railroad st rike con tinue indefinite our sveti n would continue to grow and prosper. - AS OTHERS SLEUS- Thomson has a way of making for herself a name, whether good or bad every man must decide for himself.
