han OF the project now creating interest in our
midst-that OF building q railroad from this
place to Rome. The obtainirg e Of the privileges
OF night OF way now possessed by the Columbus

Northern gentlemen have purchased mining
property between here and Jefferson, in the
Burlington settlement. and are at work in ear
nest, opening up the mines, with very encour-
aging success. There is much excitement in
the vicinity, and everybody is prospecting for
ths root OF al evil.' We wish them abundant
success in finding piles of it, and hope they
ground all over the neighborhood."
Says the Oolethorpe Echo: "Afew years ago
one OF the weaithiest citizens in this county
sold out and moved TO Texas. He disposed of
a splendid farm, well stocked with all that
Versity soon overlook him, he lost his property,
and we learn is now reduced to driving wagon
for a support"
The Bainbridge Democrat tells how a U. 8.
Marshal was recently drowned In the Chatta-
hOOchee river, as follows: "a party # officials
headed by q. s. Marshal and armed with car
bIn9 rifles, boarded the steamer Jordan at
Ocheesee last Thursday en- route for jackson
county, Florida, where they we're going to
make some arrests. Just above Port Jackson
the U. s. Marshal, while walking along the
edge OF the lower deck, tripped, lost his bal
ance and fell overheard. The steamer was
stopped and a boat was lowered and
sent out to save the drowning man
But the unfortunate Marshal sank just
before the boat reached him, never to
rise 6gain in life The cold waters Of the Chatta-
hOochee closed over his lifeless FORM perhaps,
forever, for we learn that up to date all efforts
to recover his body have proven fruitless.
When the Marshal tripped and fell overheard
he had on his overcoat which with his hat was
picked up floating down the river. The over
the mans pOcketbook containing some money
was found in its side pocket. No one can
imagine how he could get out of the coat and
let it remain buttoned. To say the least it s
exceedingly strange and puzzles every one.'
