Already several charters have been granted
Tor cut on " railroads-that is, short lines of
travel that make 1t possible to get around At
Ianta without going through the city. Two
new charters of this kind will be asked Of the
next neral Assembly-one for a narrow
gauge line from FairLurn, on the West Point
Railroad, to Fayetteville, and the other from
Eeyettevlne TO Jonesboro, on the Macon and
western Railroad. thus making direct line

1t is remarkable fact that Messrs. NaIsop
Barker & Co., who have been loaning money
TO farmers for five years on mortgages of real
estate, state that their most numerous loans
nave been made IN two of the best and most
prosperous agricultural counties in Georgia
wnlch are Washington aud Talbot. Il is DOS
s1ble, however, that their agents. located at
Ialootton and Sandersville, may have loaned
some or this money to parties in adjoining
counties. At all events the general impression
prevails that majority of these loans will
capture the farms on which they have been
made.
POLITICAL POINTS.
The opponents of Governor CoIouitt have
made mistake in offering Attorney General
Anderson as a candidate for United States
Senator, as it only divides and weakens the
ssrengtn or Judge jackson. who is the leading
and and most hopeful candidate yet named. It
will be impossible to defeat C 5louitt with anv
candidate that may be offered, as his election
is already assured
Don't be deceived by the retirement of the
independent Congressional candidates in GER
taln districts, as It only means a stronpar fight
In few other n ore hopeful districts a heavy
burden is being t7rown upon the Democracy
OF the First district, where there is a most
encouraging prospect of electing the nominee.
Just now the whole State Is deeply interested
IN your canvass, and it is imperative that every
Democratic vote in the district be brought ont
on election day-aud don't YOU forget it.
Later information from FELTON, and Speer
gives alarm to the friends of Clements and
Candle-. Here in the Fifth district il is a stiH
hunt but the most thorough and eff factive ever
lhaugurated In Georgia. There is perfect har.
mony among the white and colored Republi-
cans, and many old line Wings are giving Buck
hearty support. Hammond is an able man.
but not popular with certain classes, and if the
house is Republican am certain Buck will he
given the seat. This will put Buck, FELTON, aud
Speer with the opposition, but Hardeman will
reduce the loss to two members viii The First
