Marianne Courier, July 2s.l

Mariana Courier, July r.
The great question as to the location of the
P. and A. r r was settled last Monday even
ing. Captain Chipley, Superintendent and Vice
President of this road, was with rs and said the
L. & N. r. R. Co. would give as much as $50
600 to have the road located by us if we would
guarantee the right Of way through the county,
~ acres of land for depot and pay the differ
ence in construction between the two lines If it
amounts to over $50, 900. This proposition was
accepted by our citizens and the survey of the
road by Mariana will be finished up" al once
The grading between here and Chattahoochee
river will begin between the 10Th and 18th of
August and has to be completed by the 18th Of
December next. All the laborers possible are
desired. Major Cbipley says by the LIST of jan
uary next the sound of the whistle will be heard
within our midst. Colonel Gibbes. the excellent
and able surveyor in charge, says the difference
in construction will not amount to over $50 900.
Colonel Gibbes enjoys the reputation of being
one Of the finest surveyors in the South and his
judgment upon this subject cannot be questioned.
The Colonel has worked very zealously, indeed,
10 find q line which would justify his employers
in having the road located by US and the people
OF our town and county should feel under last
ing obligations to him for this. The great liber.
aliiy of the Louisville and Nashville road,
through Major Chipley, shows the great interest
they feel in the welfare of the people of our
State-especially the welfare OF jackson county.
We scarcely believe there is another road in the
Union that would have been 50 liberal We be-
lieye we utter the sentiments of every man In
Jackson county when we say we are saiisaed.
A speedy completion Of this road and continued
prosperity to the Louisville & Nashville Road d
the wish OF our entire people.

Montgomery Advertiser, July 2cth-1
The r. a. A.

The Pensacola & Atlantic railroad, has come
to be one Of the Hcca enterprises of the times.
General DeFuniak, its President, is authority for
the assertion that il is to be pushed 10 compile
ton as rapidly as it is possible for money and
labor to accomplish it.
The road extends from some point this side of
cola river, where it will connect with the road
to Tallahassee, at which point it will connect
with the roads to Jacksonville. on the St Johns,
and Fernandina on the Atlantic
1t is estimated by railroad men that this will
be one of the best paying roads in the South.
President DeFuniak calculates its net revenue
the first year at 1911 ,28O. So popular was the
enterprise that the moment the books were
opened all the stock was taken and more was
applied for. The L. s. N. owns the controlling
interest
Its land grants are enormous-agregating 81
900, 900 acres-and it is estimated that the COM
pany will realize million and q half of dollars
from the sale of its pine forests alone. The road
will prove an inestimable boon 10 Florida 1t
will do for her what the S. s.. n. did for Ala
bama; it will unity the State besides developing
large territory of untold resources. This terri
tory contains some of the most fertile lands in
the State, and its capabilities in fish, fruit and
lumber are incalculable.
And thus Florida will soon be thoroughly fur
nished with railroad transportation in all parts
of her territory No State in the South seems
to be booming ahead more rapidly than Florida
She seems to keep step with Texas, Georgia and
Alabama To her, Northern people especially
seem TO look with peculiar fascination and they
continue to flock to her dowery plains with I'M
filling enthusiasm The drainage OF the Ever
glades, the construction Of canals in tie PENN
sular and the building Of this great West Florida
thoroughfare must add immensely to her popula-
ton and prosperity and bring her to the fore
front with the first States of the Republic Her
territory is larger than Alabama and even greater
than New York; for while the area of the latter
Is Al, 900 square miles, that Of Florida Is 50 600
Bearing all this in mind, it would seem that
new energy and enthusiasm would possess the
friends Of the Montgomery Southern; it would
seem that they would not be content with sim
ply spanning the prairies nor with pushing into
the heart of the sandy land beyond, nor yet with
penetrating into the hill country of Crenshaw.
The lapse Of the briny waves on the sandy
shores of St Andrews mingles with the solemn
signs OF the lonely pines it floats on the breath
Of the breeze to the fowery fields of the famous
valley of Holmes. And if it would, the Mont
gomery Southern could hearken and heed the
song Of the wave and the pine: "Come on"

Practical Temperance Lecture.

One of the most practical and com
nonsense temperance lectures that we
have seen is contained in circulars
issued by DR.. F. j. Bancroft, surgeon of
the Denver and Rio Grande Road. 1t
is worth considering by everybody. The
circular says: "The continued or the
excessive periodical use of malt or alco-
holic liquors should be abstained from
by every one engaged in operating the
road, not only on account of the great
risks to life and property incurred by
intrusting them to the oversight of those
whose intellects may be dulled at times
when most care is needed, but also, and
essentially, because habitual drinking
has very bad effect upon the constitu-
ton, which is a serious matter 70 men so
liable to injury as railroad employees
always are. 1t so lessons the recupera-
tive powers of the body that simple
wounds are followed by the most serious
and dangerous complications. Fractures
unite slowly, If at all. and wounds of a
grave nature, such as those requiring
the loss of limb, are almost sure to end
fatally. No employee can afford to take
such risks, and the railroad company
can not assume such responsibilities"
