ENTERPRISE IN EFFINGHAM.
A Branch Road from Guyton to the
Turpentine Fields Projected.

A Branch Road from Guyton to the
Turpentine Fields Projected.
The recent announcement in the MORN
ING News that the Central Railroad Com
pany had resumed work on the Eden extern
sion, has stimulated some of the people of
Bingham and Bulloch to discuss the build
lug Of branch road from Guyton, to enter
Bulloch county somewhere il the vicinity
OF the Elkins Landing bridge. DR.. j. B.
Coae, prominent citizen of Bglloch county,
stated, In an interview on Friday, that
since the Ellen extension would not touch
his section, the building of that road would
in no wise affect the proposed branch road.
He SAYS his section Of the county is verV
prosperous, vell tint cred. anu that the
turpentine interest is in its infancy there.
He says a ro3d to tap that section need not
extend but few miles after crossing the
river, when an immense amount of freight
cal be handled; tlat at present the people
haul their produce and naval stores
TO Eden, distance Of ten to
fifteen miles, besides paying big toll
to cross the jerks bridge. As to subscrip-
ton, DR.. Cone says the people will respond
literally to an enterprise of this kind that
they are generally well-to-do farmers, who
live on the proposed line. If Guyton be
made the starting point it is thought her
people would aid the enterprise literally
Guyton would be the distributing point
for the large volume of produce, naval
stores and lumber, which would add greatly
to its growth, and open up a new fold for
Guyton merchants. Guyton has a fine
opportunity afforded It, q ID it should act
on Dr. Cones suggestion.
