Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.

The DOoty indicator says that the sur
veving corpse of the Central road is
camped at Vienna. They are locating the
line of the Columbus and Savannah air
line with great deal of care. The line as
located through Vienna runs west and
northwest from the courthouse, not ex-
ceeding 300 yards, and about 125 yards be-
low the Methodist church.
The Central railroad has a special rate
scheme in operation over its entire system,
which it proposes to bring into use on the
Columbus and Western railroad Sunday,
July 10. Commencing on that date, the
company will place on sale round trip
tickets to all points reached by the Central
system at one fare for the round trip.
These tickets are only good from every

guarantee the building of the road, and
that 1t should be completed and running by

The Hawlinsville Nctcs says of the new
road: ut will make our town a competitive
railroad point outside of the advantages

river. 1t will give us increased boating
facilities and water transportation. IL will
give us another Florida line Ii will give
us an almost direct line to Savannah
BY way of the Americas division il
will give us another outlet TO the
west. 1t will cause more manufacturing
enterprises to spring up here. II will Till
the empty stores in town and cause the
building of many more. 1t will greatly
enhance the value Of real estate. IL will
cause more railroads 10 come here IL will
give us another route to Macon. IL will
make Hawkinsville a holesale and jobbing
market II will Increase our retail trade.
hnwkinsville will still be the best cotton
market IN Georgia In fact. TO put the mat
ter pointedly and plainly before you, the
