Sen. Henry K. Jackson, United States

were met at the Central railroad depot by
number OF friends, among them beng
Capt Raoul, President Of the Central, j..
l.. Whatlev, Esq, Gen. Jachson's law
partner. and several others.
The General looked quite as well as he
did when he left savannah for Mexico
ten months ago. The climate of Mexico
has apparently agreed with him, as he
has gained considerably in aYOrdup0is.
and looks 20 years younger than he did
when he left Savannah. Those who did
not know the fact would hardly believe
that he was a distinguished Colonel in a
war 0fnearly 40 years ago. he scarcely
looks 10 years older than that number
OF years. During the forenoon he
came down to his Office on Bryan street
where be was called upon during the day
by large number Of friends. On his
way down TO his Office Gen. Jackson
dropped in TO look at the Telfair Acade-
my. lie Was quite surprised at the
changes that have been made there dur
AHS his dobehCes anu ne WAS especially
pleased at seeing the success Mr.. Brandt
has had in the work of setting up the bro
ken statues.
The General was asked about his ru-
mored resignation, and he stated that the
report was grounoiess. He will prOba-
bly, make a trip to Washington next
month on official business, but will re-
turn to Savannah before the celebration
of the Chathams' Centennial In May,
about which time the Telfair Academy
will be formally opened.

A New Road to the south.

It's reported in Philadelphia that A. j.
Cassatti and VIM. Il. Scott, of EEie. have

further South than Weldon over the Sea-
board aud Roanoke railroad, the Coast
Line refusing to receive them beyond that
point as it can get IS miles greater haul

1t is said to be the intention OF the New

by building short stretches, to run over

Central, reaching Atlanta and other prom.
inent Southern points IN that way. This
can be done after June 1, when the gauges
OF Southern lines will be made to conform
