The Georgia Central Secures Controi OF
the Brunswick and Western.

The Georgia Central Secures Controi OF
the brunswick and Western.
1t is announced that the Georgia Cen
trail Railroad has secured a controlling
interest in the Brunswick and Western
Road. 1t is surmised that the purchase
foreshadOws the discOntinuance of the
projected extension of the Brunswick
and Western north of Albany. The pro-
ipctors of the extension protested that it
would prove of incalcuable benent to
Brunswick, and create a formidable rival
for a certain part of the business now
carried to Savannah by the Central Com
pany.
Rumor asserts that the Central, Rich
mond and Danyille, and the Augusta and
Raleigh Railroads are with the movement
to obtain control OF the Augusta and
Knoxville Road. Stockholders are trying
to keep it in the hands of the present
management. and this will be done II IN
terest on the bonds can be met.
The Jacksonville, st. Augustine and
Halifax River Railway will not go be-
yond st. Augustine before another year
The completion of Whites Road from
RollenstOn is confidently expected, how
ever
The proposed Thomasville and North
eastern Railroad is to run through the
counties of Thomas, Colquitt, Worth, Ber-
rien. Irwin. Wilcox, Telfair, Montgomery,
Laurens, Dodge, Emanuel, Seriyen and
Burke.
One Of the many railroad projects now
afOot in Florida contemplates the con-
structiOn of a line from Pensacola to
Ozark, via Elba and AndalusIa.
At ST. Augustine DR.. Garnett objects to
the passage of the jacksonville, st. Al
justine and Halifax Railroad in frontW
his property, and obtained an injunction.
As some delay would necessarily ensue
before the dismissal of this Injunction
could be obtained. and so as not to give
others opportunity to take similar action,
the railroad company, acting under legal
advice, put on a sufficient force, and in one
day graded and put down the cross-ties
and rails, completing the entire track,
with the exception of the space in front
of DIR. Garnett's property. Thus 1t will
require but few hours to complete the
road when the matter is decided. The
tracks over which the dispute arose run
along the side of the shell road from the
present terminus of the railroad to the
city gates, and are laid to facilitate the
delivery by the railroad company of lum-
Der and material for the mammoth hotel
soon to be erected.
The extension of the Alabama Great
Southern from Meridian to New Orleans

Your garments cover you with the
graceful stamp of an excellent tailor, or

MitchelPs select stock 'fit' that was

"A Whitaker street, but found his quarters
cramped, wanted room to stretch his arms

he is now installed in his handsome and

Taxation and Extension of the City
Limits.

Limits.
Editor Morning. NelrS: AS one of the
larger property owners along the southern
border of the city, it is not only proper,
but imperative, that l express certain
very strong objections which present
themselves in relation to this matter, the
chief one of which is that of tdCGti0R.
The present debt of the city is equivalent
to a mortgage of 40 per cent, on the value
ofthe real estate within its limits. If you
extend the limits without conditions of
Justice to those whom you wish to incOr-
porate, you place at once this mortgage
of 40 per cent. on their property,
giving them as their sole equivalent the
right to vote at municipal elections,
provided they are willing to pay back
taxes for some privilege they never used
and can never get back.
1t is not my purpose to oppose extern
sion: but it is my purpose and my right
to claim that justice be done me and
others. There is a practical way by
which this can be accomplished, and it is
this:
Admitting that by just assessment the
real estate within the present limits Is
worth $10,000,000, a special levy of , per
cent. on this would raise 10000, which
should be applied exclusively to the pay
ment of the interest on the existing bond
ed debt of the city.
Now, if the current expenses of the city
require that real estate should also pay Il
Der cent. extra towards police, lights,
scayengering, ETC., Independent of the
revenues derived from all other sources,
then let 0ne-hdlf Of one per cent. be levied
on all property in both the old limits and
the to be- new limits. But l strongly
object TO being mOrtgaged so extensively
as is proposed, by having my property
taken in without condition or provision
against exactly such operation of an act
of incorporation as l have above ex-
planned. LOUIS \. FALLIGANT.

HIS FATHER A PHYSICIAN.

"My father being a practicing physi-
clan. and having read medicine myself
Twas of course prejudiced against all pro-
prietary remedies; but having had Swifts
Specific recommended to me by many per-
sons, and learning that fair-minded doc
tors were now prescribing it for blood
and skin diseases, l determined to give it
a fair trial. For the first few days the
remedy made the symptoms seemingly
worse. but l knew it was forcing the poi
son out. and felt better. In three weeks
the sores all began to heal; my hair CON-
menced to grow out again; | commenced
gaining flesh; my nervous system
greatly improved; my sluggish blood
quickened its course and / felt
that was a new man. Since then / have
continued to improve rapidly in every re-
spect. The scars have left my face; the
aching of my bones and joints are thing
of the past, and there is not trace of the
disease left; and from being skeptic l
am now the warmest advocate of SWift's
Specific. do not believe there is man,
woman or child in the world, no matter
what their condition, or how free from
disease, that will not be benefited by TAX
ing Swift's Specific. 1t is without doubt
the best remedy for all skin and blood dis
eases; as a health tonic it is incOmparably
the best: as a nerve food it is superior to
everything.
Il do not even know any one of the
Swift Specific Company, but l would be
recreant to my duty to my fellow-men if
1 did not give TO the world my experience
and rescue from suffering and death. 1
will take pleasure in answering any in
quiries from other sufferers. can say also
that Swift's Specific is a certain cure for

cured sound and well by one bottle. |

spectability around Clarksville, as all
were familiar with my hopeless condition
and with my miraculous cure by the use

In mingling with the citizens, / found
that they Endorsed everything which Mr..
Halves has said. Surely this case should
attract attention all over the world.
