The Construction train of the G..
+. d Y. V. Railway is here.
The magnificent iron bridge, fifty
feet above low later, with a span of
l25 feet, is already completed and
painted red, as the company will
doubles sly paint the .City by the
Sea-" when the line to Fayetteville
is finished. The railroad authori-
ties will use convicts after he con-
structiOn trains pass Black River, as
the track-laying force of free color
ed laborers spend the greater portion
of their time at "big preaching"
and the impression is that this force
labors six days and "rests Oh the
seventh day." Thirty-one miles Of
the track will be ready for use in ten
days. Hoping that the G. F. & Y.
V. Railroad may prove bonanza to
our good old county SO long with
line of railroad running the entire
length Of the county, 1 am yours,
