REAL ESTATE.

Why don't the people Of Terrell,
who have lands to put or the market
advertise them in their county pa
per? We are often asked, if we
know of any'placo Of SO many acres.
that can be bought? Why, people
expect US to know these ,hings, and
they, at once, go to the paper for
the information. No longer than
last Monday we were accosted, by
one Of the moDied men of Dawson,
with this remark: "|Vhy don't
you induce the people to advertise
the lands that they wish to sell? I
want to buy, light now, a place, and
/ don't know where to start to get
it, Well, the people all know that
the columns of the Journal are open
for that sort of business, and we
have. time and again, called their
notice to its importance, but they
fail to avail themselves OF the advice.
Friends, can't you see that parties,
who want TO invest money in lands,
having so macy desirable sections
from which to pick, will not run
round and hunt up these things,
when other places are all the time
calling attention to their fertile
lands and enumeratiug the many
advantages Of other parts of the
country? Citizens don't sleep over
your rights, but let the world know
what yon have cot in the way of de-
sirable lots ana fertile fields.

A committee Of citizens from
Americus went TO Savannah recent
", had an interview with Capt.
Raoul, the president Of the Central
road, and, it is said, came back
thoroughly satisfied. The Central
proposes, if the citizens will grade
the road from Amelicus to Vienna
and there let it stop, to iron the road
and operate it. The Central also
proposes to do the same thing for
the citizons OF Americus from the
latter city to Llmpkin, via Pres

1t would seem, Judging from the
demonstrations of the past few
weeks, that the people OF this sec
ton OF the state are more enthused
upon the subject Of building rail
roads than ever before in the histo-
ry OF the country. The Beuna Vista
and Andersonyille road is now a fix
ed fact. The contracts have been
let and the work is in progress. The
contracts require the completion Of
this road from Andersonville to
Ellayille by the 4th of July, and to
Beuna Vista by the 10th OF Septem.
Der. So there is 10 longer any
doubt that the farmers of Schley and
Marion counties viii have a railroad
over which to ship their next crop
OF cotton. To say that the people
of these counties are jubilant over
the prospect bat poorly expresses
the idea-they are thoroughly enthu-
slasiic, and we are glad that they
have, at length, a railroad in pros
pect, for never has people been
more untiiing in. their efforts to Sc
cure railrood than the p.ople of
Beuna Vista and Ellayille.

Americas seems to. nave ecome
fully alive to the threatening attitude
of her neighbors and is now engaged
IN trying to secure the location of a
railroad from Hawkinsville to Amer
lcus and on to Eufaula via Preston
and Lumpkin. What will come of
this enterprise, however, remains yet
to be seen. 1t is not generally be-
heved, by persons in a position to
know, that this road will ever be
built. The building of the Preston
and Smithville road will iniure
Dawson as well as Americus, and if
there is any way by which the effect
may be counteracted, our citizens
should begin to move in the matter.
Not that we expect to change the
purposes of any connected with the
Preston and Smithville road, but
that we may be able to influence the
location OF some other line Of road
that will afford Dawson the advan-
taSes of IA competitive point.

A Crazy Judge.


BALTIMORE, Dec. le.-Judce H. Kent
Mccoy, of the United States district court at
Atlanta, Ga, whose mind has been deranged
arrived IN Baltimore Wednesday evening aud
was taken to the residence Of his brother,
Prof Charles Mccoy, on North Charles street
Last night during the terrible snow storm
the Judge was picked up by the
police and taken to the station
house. He was found sitting
in the bitter cold on the steps Of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad building. It has been
ascertained that the judge evaded his watch
ers and escaped from home. He sold his
valuable gold watch for 81 and bought bot
tie of whisky. AS the judge is : strictly tenn
perate man, this latter act Is very singular.
The police turned him over to bis brother, and
tonight he was taken TO Philadelphia, where he
viii be placed in an asylum. II Is said here
by q relative of Judge Mccoy that his condi-
ton was caused by domestic troubles
Twenty-Five years ago he aud his wife adopted
two little twin sisters. They were bright,
interesting girls, and the juoge educated and
brought them up to be refined young ladies.
They married, and, after a rather unhappy
experience, both died not long ago. Both left
children. The judge brought them all TO bis
home in Atlanta, cared for them and placed
those who were old enough at school. The
death OF their mothers was a hard blow tC
him. The impression that the judges
troubles were caused BY drink Is without
foundation. His brother says he was always
adverse TO liquor, and would not allow any
intoxicating LIQUOR in his house.
