On tbe west side of Georgia Tailroad
building has been uusualLv lively during
the last year or so. A line from Rome to
Columbus, this Ui e from Atlanta to Fort
Valley and anbthei line from Columbus to
Albany are tbe piiucipal roads on winch
the work is being done. Georgia will.be a
veritable network of railroads when those
which are now being agitated are con¬
structed.
MEN OF ONE IDEA.
A very large delegation of these men,
says the Mobile Register, visit ilio south
every season, looking for farm locations,
and they almost invariably go back dissat¬
isfied with the country. One man is from
an apple producing region up north, and
when be sees very little doing with apples
in tlie lower south lie gets discouraged and
goes home to stay. Another has wheat on
the brain, another hops, and another hay,
and all go back in disgust. The grass or
hay man is usually iu the large majority,
and he cannot think of hay made from
any other than such growths as are pro¬
duced “up to hum.” Talking of these
grass men, through the Southern Planter
Mr. Isaac H. Christian says: Of course
every body ought to raise some grass, and
all they can (and it wont take much study
to do it) ; but to advise tbe people of the
south to put their sandy peanut and cottou
and gardening lands and their tobacco
lands into small grass, and let go as the
main idea the great staples, and go in
competition in the cattle and mills
with people who can’t do much else, brings
a smile on the recollection of the turnip man
who went to be employed by Holden Rhodes
on the great “Fall Plantation,” near
mond, Va. Rhodes advertised for a man¬
ager and the man applied. Rhodes told
him to go over and stay a week with Mr.
Waddill. bis then manager, who was
up tbe country, and if Mr. Waddill,
him he would employ him, The man had
turnips on the brain. He walked out with
Waddill and remarked that a lot of five
acres, prepared for clover seed, would he
“an excellent place to put turnips.” Fur¬
ther on he name to a heavily manured plot
prepared for trucking. “Ah” he said “this
would make magnificent turnips.” And
further on he came to a splendid alluvial
field of sixty acres, prepared for corn.
“Now, Waddill,” said he, “I would raise
turnips enough on this land to buy it in
one year.” Well, so it went on, and in
a week Rhodes came and asked Waddill
what he thought of the new man. “Do
you want to go into the turnip business ?"
“No” said Rhodes “what on earth put that
idea into your head 7” “Oh, I was think¬
ing that if you did you had better catch on
to that fellow i you will never get another
such a chance.”
A BUSINESS TALK.
In any section where there is a spirit of
enterprise hacked by a union of sentiment
and purpose, the times are invariably
prosperous; it matters not though the
lands may be poor and the people needy.
In some communities where the people are
of one mind and one purpose—arid that
for the com-mon welfare—the outside
public has been made to wonder at the
extent and variety of business enterprises
which have sprung tip as if by magic.
If every man in Oarawford county would
advocate and patronize borne insitulious
above all others, a degree of thrift and
progress such as was never before known
in these parts would characterize every
department of business, and capitalists
would flock here .as to a land of promise.
Suppose that three bundled CAtvford
county men, each with a cash capital of
$500, should invest their mon«y in bus¬
iness enterprises, let us see what might bs
done with that capital, $150,000.
First, a bank could be opened. A bank
is badly needed here, and it would pay,
and be the means of bringing about a great
increase in the amount of business in the
county.
A cotton seed oil mill might be built. A
mill'd this kind pays anywhere, and makes
farming more profitable.
A guano factory can be established at
very little cost, and would serve to keep
the money for fertilizers at home.
A county fair can be arranged for and
operated at a nominal cost, and its influence
for immediate and permanent good needs
not to be debated.
If no bank should be established, and
each man should put hisxnoney into a
store, a mill or a shop of some kind, the
effect would be startling. A number of
Cran ford county citizens would be given
lucrative employment, ami farming and
all other occupations would become more
prosperous. Property ot all kinds would
increase in value; a demand for country
produce would cause a good market to
be established, and a regular boom would
be the result.
To invest $150,000 at Knoxville in
merchandise alone would be risking nothing
so far as getting custom is concerned.
Fifteen thousand people live nearer to
KnoxviUe lhau to any other place, yet not
more than one-twentieth of the goods used
by these people is purchased in this county.
There can be found no better opening fu
at least a dozen new stores than we offer
here. Now that the railroad has been
completed between this place and Atlanta,
all our people are anxious to see a good
market established at Knoxville, Our
merchants own to their being unable to
supply only a small proportion of the
farmers with the goods they arc obliged to
have, and express a desire to see others
others come here and open stores. Such
an opening for a merchant is not often
seen in a lifetime.

Tinware just received by J. W. Blasingame

these goods ever before seen in this town.
