The text Of the mortgage on tbs ali
SUD Western railroad does not snow pnf-
pose to build that rosd from Amaricus 70
Eden. Tire money obtained from the mort
gage is to be used 20 pa for improvements
already mad, and to make improvements
on roads already constructed X any part
Of it is to 30 used in building the Eden and
Arnericus extension the fact does not appear
in the text OF the mortgage.
Il may be the purpose Of ths syndicate,
Of when the Certral railroad forms part,
TO build that extension. II is known that
some Of thcse IL that syndicate favor build
ing it. T cEs who control the East Ten
nassee, Virginia and Georgia railroad, and
who are in the syndicate oppose building it.
There ought u be no delay, however, in
subscribing the $4,000, which viii bring
the Savannah, Americas AMI Montgomery
read here. The possibility that the Eden
and Americas extension will BE- built should,
not cause any one to hesitate TO lend helping
hand to the former Toal. Savannah will
be the gamer II both roads are built, but the
prospect, just at pres mt, thac tho Savannah,
Americus aud Montgomery road will be
built is much better than that the Eden ex-
tension viii be- II the latter is built it will
be because the Richmond Terminal syndi
cate is forced TO build it Tor self-protection.
Our business men and real estate owners
should take notice OF the fact that Bruins
WICK is moving to ge1 the Savannah,
Americas and Montgomery railroad to
make it, coast terminal at that port That
city offers terminal facilitie'. She lis show
ing herself to be more ente.prising than
Savannah. In fact. Savannah may lose
both the Savannah, Americas and Mont
gomery railroad and the Eden aud Ameri
Gus extension. because, il the former goes
10 Brun wick, il is pretty certain that the
latter will not be built--at least not yet
awhile.
The business men and real estate owners
OF Savannah will make a mistake IL they
fail to subscribe the $50, 900 that viii give
this city direct railroad connection with
Southwest Georgia, with Atlanta and with
the great west a refusal to donate a few
thousand dollars may result in the loss of

The Old Piano.
P.onl AZ .Boston Glo5f


AS fancy backward rolls the screen of years,
And gently leads me on through ha!lowed
halls,
One sweetest scene, in all its freshness. falls
Upon my ling ring gaze through mist Of tears.
A scene Of homelke Joys and mellow light
view, while passing ct the THRESHOLD where
The Old piano, kept with loving care,
Stands as 1t stood in happy days and bright.
There. in the twilight. soft, romantic hour.
When round about the deep'ning shadows
Ny dear one sat and wrought the mystic spell
OF harmony and love with fullest power
There, often, at the close Of weary day.
Her loved ones, all, from young TO old drew
To hear once more those songs and chorals
And drive the thoughts OF pain and care away.
There oft her hands the pearly keys caressed,
And filed the room with sad and wordless
And as stand, its echo seems to throng
My soul, and fill its void with peace aud rest.
And so love the old piano still;
Its arabesques are craven on my heart,
Nor would I with its treasured memory part
No other treasure 'er its place could fill.
What though its keys are yellow now with age?
What though its lu tire now no moro so bright,
Its image fills my neart with sad delight
That knows no better words than welcome
tears
Alas! Where now ere those beloved hand
That wood TO lifeits touching melody?
They here live but q sacred iuemOry-
They make immortal strains in better lands
Then let no vandal hand this treasure mar,
Nor rudely break the charm Of fancy spell,
Though she who made me love its chords 50
well
Is gone from me so far away, so far

The committee appointed by the Atlanta

important work 20 perform. II should
BEGIN Il without unnecessary delay, bs-
ease tbs legislature viii. be in session in q
few weeks, md whatever suggestions it
may havo TO make to that body should be
made as early IN the session as possible
Tae rosd congress was the result OF "a pro
fouud conviction Of the people IN
every county Of the state that
the present road laws are radically
defective, and that as long as they
remain rs they ero there is very little pros
pect that the roads will be improved The
work done or ihoroads cost time and money
without making them any better. The rea-
son is that not enough work is done, and
that which is done is not done in accordance
with any clearly defined plan. Tbs ain Of
those who work the roads see ne 10 be %
simply comply with the laws not to make
good and serviceable roads.
A loading idea OF the road congress- was
TO utilize the convicts in making roads
The idea is a good one, and has been ap-
many articles. The taxes would be slightly
increased, Of course, il the eoDvlcts were
nut 10 work en- the roads instead of being
leased to contractors, but tho benefit the
people would get from good roads would
be worth much more 10 them than the
amount OF additional taxes they would
have TO pay.
Ii The roads were once improved as they
should be the cost Of keeping them la re-
pair would not be very great. Indeed, the
cost Of putting them in frst-ciass condition
would net De as gfea, as some Of the farm
eTs seem 70 think. If the farmers were t.

upaIIy suffer through bad roads they would
be surprised at the amount Of them. TIE

that is due 20 bad roads is muca greater
than they have any idea of. II they would
contribute what bal reads cost them, to-
eether with what they spend on the roads
under the present road !aws, they would
have in a fow years q funi that would be
sufficient to make f-s.-class roads in every
county.
Let the peopie take hold of this road
question in earnest Let tham show tho
legislature that they not only want good
rods, but are ready to pay for them. Let
them move energet.caliy and tremendously
in the matter, and the legislature will do
what is necessary to be done Whom that

The Kind Of Work He Wanted.
From the Philadelphia INQUIRER.

A short time ago q young man called at one

overcoat on his arm. He inquired for the fore
man.

He - SO. After while the foreman came.

why, dig the sod, clean the cutters and

Not much was the answer. Il came out
here because I was told all ! had to do was to
walk around, admire the scenery and kill time
generally, but if the kind of a JOB they sent me
10 is to dig aud clean cutters they can keep their
jobs as far as I'm concerned"
So saying the gentleman applicant for work
turnsd on his heel and went off with an Unmis-
