the Towns Enthusiasm.
VALDosTA, GA, Dec THE Georgia
Southern and Florida railroad finished the
track laying to Valdosta to-day. Yesterday
afternoon at $50 o'clock they crossed the
town bounds and the engineer on the con-
struction engine which propelled the track
laying machine ahead of it gave loud aad
long blast which awoke the echoes and
drew responsive shout from the threats of
hundreds who assembled to witness the prog
ress of the work as the great iron horse,
the first one direct from Macon. strobe into
the greatest town on its route from Macon
to the st. Johns The faithful contractors
had determined 10 reach Valdosta on Dec
and they inspired their laborers with a
will to work.
WONDERFUL WORKER.
The rapidity with which they manipu
lated the ingenious machine, which threw the
ties and ponderous iron in place ahead of the
moving train, was a marvel even TO the old
railroad workers who witnessed the per-
Torrance The machine is a new patent,
the best in the world and the first one in
use. Five hundred or 900 people, among
whom were many ladies, went out to meet
the great iron monster as it came
canking and puffing into town.
Carriages, buggies. dog carts and footmeu
were all there; white and black, young and
old, male and female greeted the new road.
At last bands of steel bind Macon and Val
dosta together Heretofore wide apart,
they are now near neighbors.
GIVES NORTHERN OUTLET
At last Valdosta gets a northern outlet,
and at one bound springs fifty miles nearer
to the center of the state, fifty miles nearer
to Macon and Atlanta, and nearly all points
north and northwest. The people OF Val
dosta, and Lowndes county as WELL have

upon the contamination of this
long desired boon. new era
dawns to-day upon the town. Although
the future of toe town is largely what its
people make it, to-day the possibilities are
greatly increased. The field for work is en-
larged. Valdosta yocng blood will do it.
That masterpiece of mechanism which came
across the bay at the end of River street
Yesterday, pulsat1ng with a life which the
ingenuity of man gave it, marked an era
in the life Of this town.
THE BIRTH OF THE TOWN.
The first engine which ran upon this pine
ridge, twenty eight years ago, gave birth
to Valdosta. This, the first one from Ma
con, dates the second birth in the new life
of the town. The road promises great
things for ValdGsta Valdosta, in turn, has
promised some small things to the road
The road has redeemed its pledge. and
Valdosta will not fail to meet her obliga
tons. The road is going on to Florida
There is more in its going to Florida by
far than in coming to Valdosta, and it is
therefore, going to be completed to Palatka
rapidly.
