There ia no doubt OF the ability OF The
Memphis and Charleston stockholders n
operate their road at a very good profit. and
that will be sufficient reason for their de.

On Tuesday the first train was run over
the Pensacola and Atlantic railroad between
Pensacola and Milton. This is the road
which is being built by Mr.. DeFuniak, the
general manager of the Louisville and Nash
vile, and which, when completed, will make
a short route from the gulf to the Atlantic.
There are about ITO miles yet To be COM
pleted, but all the grading ia finished. and
the rails are on the ground, 30 that it Is ex-
pected that trains will be running the entire
length Of the road, from Pensacola TO Chat

by way OF Warren and Hamburg to Monroe. |
La. A gentleman named Stewart. of ST. |

factory arrangements can be made, the road
will be built. Mr.. Wheeler proposes 10 as |

help US in this direction. With this done,
Hamburg aud Ashley county are good
enough for anybody"

Cincinnati Enquirer: "a most shameful
row was witnessed at the Elizabethtown
landing about midnight last Monday night.
The Granite State was loading on wheat
there when Theo Belt, Jim McFarlan and
Abe McFarlan, full of whisky, went down to
boat and went aboard, and brought a spit
toon on shore. The second clerk followed
them out and asked them to take the spit
toon back, when Theo Belt bounced him for
a fight. The clerk was about TO get the bet
ter of Belt, when the McFarlan boys came to
his aid with stones, hitting the clerk on the
head and in the face, and otherwise beating
him up. One of the McFarlan boys stood
on the s~tage-plank and with drawn pistol
ordered the boats crew to stay inside, which
they did. Al their own good pleasure they
allowed the crew to come out and carry the
clerk on board, badly hurt; low badly we
could not learn. And thus whisky and crime
hold high carnival, and the law is over
ridden by its advocates in our n~eighboriDg
town."

On Monday afternoon Mrs. Austin
Miller and Mss Mary JOY Nelson
placed a most beautiful wreath of roses
and evergreens around the confeder-
ate monument in the Court Square.
This was a most appropriate and
tasteful acknowledgement of the high
appreciation so tenderly cherished by
the true southern woman for the
memory of those gallant ones who
gave their lives to deliver their native
heath from the presence ola invading
f1e. As long as flowers bud and blossom
in our sunny land, these floral offerings
should adorn the graves Of those fall
len heroes and breathe sweetest fra
GRANGE over their sleeping dust, as
mute but touching memorial of a
heroism that has made southern histo-
ry the admiration of the world
In generations to come, it will be
woman's pious duty to keep green
confederate graves. Man may grow
forgetful but woman's heart and
hand will ever be true to the sacred
preservation of the mound that mark;
the resting place of the brave southern
soldier boy. Human nature becomes
ennobled through such grateful recog
milton of departed worth.
Those grave-spots deserve flowers o
delcss boom.
