Vour advent makes us glad ;
We greet you with this little song
Ami hope times wont be bad.

railroad would certainly be built, and that
work would be commenced on it within
two months, or as soon as they could finish
the tunnel on the Good wafer'* extension.
This news, coming direct frofu headquar¬
ters, will be greeted by our people with
delight, from the fact that if will beoefit
•our town very much as it will give u
three outlets to the sea. The completion
of the Good water extension will give us
direct liue a
to the coat and iron field?,
thereby insuring ns cheap fuel and a cheap
freight rate on iron for our manufactories
which ‘will be a big help t 0 the town
The completion bf the A. & F. R. R
which is now a certainty, will give our
town a competing line north and west.
thereby securing for us equally as low
rates of freight at either Mac n or Atlan¬
ta get, whic will call for the opening tip 0 f
