The Road Congress 49, Dissatisfaction
Win Corporation Affairs.
The Guytonians are discussing the pro-
posed road congress which has been called
to meet at Atlanta on May %. 1t has been
suggested that public meeting be held at
Springfield to take some action looking to
representation, but as yet no call has been
made. A gentleman in discussing 1t, said,
while it is not party matter, Judge Frank
Tarver, chairman of the democratic execu-
tive committee, could very properly issue
call for a public meeting. and as much in
terest is manifested in the ma ter, the
people would be sure 70 respond. The same
gentleman said that May would be suit
able time to hold the meeting, for then the
Hussars and Screven troop have their post
poned ssbsr contest and tournament, and
the crowd would be much larger.
The Savannah district conference, Rev.
T. +. Christian presiding elder, will CON
vsne at Guyton on Thursday, April Is, and
a very large number Of ministers and lay
men are expected to be in attendance
| Guytonians are putting their houses in order
80 as to accommodate the visitors who can be
assured Of being well provided for. Guyton
is the home of the presiding elder, aud the
| district high sch1ol is located there, and her
citizsns, with their proverbial hospitality,
will undoubtedly respond willingly and
| literally to this proposed conference. Sew
| eral distinguished divines will be IN attend
| ance and contribute TO the interest and sue
| cess Of the convention.
A paper is being circulated among the
citizsns of Guyton looking to modification
of the laws governing the town, but it is
| hardly thought it means repeal OF the act
Of incorporation, as some claim. IL would
seem from reports that the paper has been
| numerously signed. A gentleman in sTeak-
| ing Of the matter said he had suggested
meeting Of those who felt that the burden
Ct taxation was too heavy, to formulate
some plan and present it TO the town au-
| thorities, and if they refuse to act then
| other measures could be discussed. The
Guyton Chronicle, he said, while
properly opposing any surrender
of the charter, is not thought to
have acted with due forbearance in
broadly limiting that those who are COM
| planning cal dispose Of their property and
move out of town. 1t is not thought that
any such spirit should be encouraged,
and when the ia is considered that the
| Guyton Chronicle has but recently moved
| outside the corporation itself, its tone might
| well be modified to prevent general remark
| that, being an outsider itself, it should be
at least conservative in discussing the cor
| p)ration's affairs.
| General Roadmaster Marvin Of the Cen
| tral railroad Company spent FRIDAY IN
| Guyton with large force, and is doing
some good work in the way of improving
the roadbed and the roads right Of way.
Mr.. Marvin is a gentleman Of energy aud
taste, and his work will add greatly to the
efficiency of the track as we'll as to beauti-
| flying the surroundings
The little Ogeechee has been slowly fall
ing for the past week, which affords
anglers a fine opportunity to indulge in
their favorite sport, as the dogwood is in
blossom, a season when it is said fish bite
best. Several fish fries are booked for the
near future TO be participated in by citizens
of the counties of Efingham and Bulloch,
at the Elkins landing bridge. The recent
fresh0ts have left the river roads in fear
full condition, and the energetic action of
the road commissioners is now In order.
Much is to be done, aud prompt action will
save Eff1nghamites much annoyance and
discomforts in travel
