The Georgia, Carolina and Northern Rail-
read is slowly coming towards Athens, and
by next summer the trains will be running
from Monroe. n. c., to the Classic City. The
section from Chester to Clinton will be com.
plcted in Il few days-more than a thousand
hands being at work thereon-and so soon as
this is done the entire force will be put to
work grading to the savannah river, as tho
route is located TO that point.
This week the chief engineer will be in Ath-
ems for the purpose Of locating the line out Of
our city, when contracts will be at once let
and dirt broken. Then forces will be set to
work Oh both ends OF the line, and they Will
meet at the Savannah river.
This company has the money in hand to
pay for the grading and equipping Of the ell
tire road, and of course it is TO their interest
to hasten the work MS fast rs possible, for the
sooner will then interest on Idle capital be
stopped.
In the next thirty days it is expected that
every part of the route from Athens TO Clin-
ton, s. G., will be under contract.
This will be great news for our people. They

considerable realizing by the "long' in

reaction in prices until about half an hour
before the close. when weak feeling set

with having bought 100000 bushels for
December delivery, and sold moderately
for May. Several local commission-house

market. and some of the larger shorts were
credited as having covered freely. The
