And that growing city, whose location
without rival in wide stretch of coun-
try, assures to her the destiny of large
commercial centre, is in the line of the
great diagonal route" the Northwest
and Southeast route which will stretch
across the country from Florida into tbs
central South. This road will be one of the
chief railroad factors in the progress of Co
lumbus, whether she is Immediately upon
its main line or connected by divergent
track. Major Gruelle and associates are
making earnest efforts for the construc-
ton of the Gainesville, Tallahassee and
Western road, the first division of the
great through line, and when it is opened
our connection with Columbus will be
but one of many advantages it will give
us, though the various other roads reach
ing the Aourishing emporium of western
Georgia will bring wide area of popu-
lous country near to Tallahassee. When
we constantly see capitalists investing in
railroad enterprises of dubious promise it
is impossible to believe that they will
long overlook the certainty presented by
the Southeastern route to Florida and
down into the Peninsula. Being the
shortest route from sections inhabited by
Pany millions of people it will necessarily
be the channel of much traffic and travel.
A new attraction will be offered to tour
lists when they can enter the State by one
route and pass out Of it by another-enter
or pass out through this excellent section
and see it as we'll as the eastern part to
which the routes of travel have heretofore
almost exclusively confined them.

An Advance- Gazette reporter had a
pleasant chat with Governor Perry last
Friday, and found him in fine spirits and
rapidly improving in health He spoke
enthusiastically of his recent visit to the

pleasant, was rather too much of tax

say that within very short while the
Governor will have fully recovered his
wonted health and strength.
