rators OF the Dawson and Albany
railroad, held a meeting in the
latter city last Friday to talk over
the proposed road. The proceed
ings OF the meeting were kept Sc
cret, but we learn that every one
present seemed to be in earnest,
and that it was universally agreed
that the road should be built.
An interview with one Of the dele
gates developed the fact that
the outlook for Dawson
to have another. railroad outlet is
now brighter than ever before
The delegate in question is de-
cidedly Of the opinion that some
thing will soon be accomplished
to Dawson's interest. The fol-
lowing, concerning the meeting OF
the incorporators, is from the AL
ny News:
"The meeting, from what the
News and Advertiser could
learn, was marely advisory
and nothing definite was
done, except that the incorpora-
tors present decided not 10 organ
ize under their charter for the
present.
A representative Of the News
and Advertiser interviewed Col.
Hocd, Of the Dawson delegation,
upon the subject Of the proposed
road, last night, and was told by
HIM that the business men of
Dawson were determined TO have
another railroad connection.
Whether it will be direct with
Albany or not he was not prepared
to say, but the Importance Of an
other outlet had been fully exper-
lenced by Dawson this season,and
her business men are now in a
condition to form an alliance with
anybody that will run a railroad
to or though their town"

excursion to Cuba, the Carters-

"Iho Georgia Press Associa-
tion meets at Yaldosta next Nay
and a trip to Cuba is to be had.
When the time comes for handing
out the tickets for this delightful
excursion we expect to see the
the fourth estate imposed upon
by fellows that don't know a shoot

draw the line somewhere as to
who arc really entitled to courte-
sizes Intended fol newspaper men,
and them only?'
