a GOOD WORD FOR TATTNALL.

A County in Which the Poor Are
Comfortable and the Rich Are
Happy.
REIDsvILLE, March 17-"We've got
railroad in Tattnall.' This is the burden
of the talk of the citizens of this county
The road is the Montgomery, Americas and
Savannah. Tattnall is one of the agricult-
ural counties of the southeast, bounded on
the north by tine Cannouchee, south by the
Altamaha, east by Liberty, and west by
NJ )ntgomery county. Well watered, it is
the finest belt of yellow pine, untouched by
ak or saw, that is in Southeast Georgia
Its surface is generally level, but not low
nor swampv. the soil is loamy, with red
and yellow clay subsoil from four to
ten inches below the surface. While pine is
the leading forest growth, and the chief tim
Der for building, naval stores, and export,
there are ais large bodies of oak of many
varieties, hickory and blackberry, which are
very useful In mechanical construction.
Cypress IN the river swamps and low bot
toms, winch is regarded as sine qua non
for the Single and clap-board uses, grows to
mammoth size, and now that it can be utll-
lied Will doubtless form one of the exports
Every variety of vegetable for culinary
use can be produced upon the lands in this
county. AS for sweet potatoes, an old cti-
zen said several years ago: I'VE take the
rag off the BUSH" and his assertion is
verltably true one, for as fine as can be

Two Atlanta Urchins Turn Nomads
and Get Spanked for it.
The police had to take care CT three young
tramps yesterday, aged 10 and 49, They
came from Atlanta by beating their way on
passenger and freight trains. When they
got here they found that tranping was not
altogether as nice as they had supposed,
and theT were glad enough wnen "cop"
gave them shelter, with a promise that they
should be returned to their pa ents. They
gave their names as Henry Gray, Henry
Hansford and Hardy Powers.
Gray is the son of factory Waterman,
living at No. 10i West Harris street. Haus-
lrd is the son of railroad employee, living
at No 10 Ma nolia street; and Hardy
Powers is the son of dressmaker, living at
NO. % Cane street. Hansford is a nephew
OF Patrick Hutchins. fireman on the Cen
trail.
The boys left Atlanta Wednesday and
were hungry and tired when they reached
here yesterday. When Chief Green called
them ont last night TO ask them few quss-
tons, tho urchius limped into the Office and
were ready 20 talk about getting back home
Hansford said that he was here several
months ago, and when he went back to At
lantl and told the other boys about his
trip, they were IN a "jify" to get here.
They planned the trip Wednesday morning,
and that afternoon they boarded the rear
platform. of a Georgia railroad train and
rode nearly to Augusta. They stopped off
night at station, aud then succeeded in
getting a ride into Augusta. They stayed
there two days, and stole ride out to
Nilllen, and came in to Savannah on the
fast mail. They rode part of the way on
the platform Of the car just behind the
tender.
The baggage master, they said, discov-
cred them and told them to get back into
the aggage car. The )nductor discovered
them at er a few miles and drawing up
trunk in the middle of the car, he made
the boys each in turn administer severe
board spanking to the other The urchins
said it was fun and they were willing to ex-
change spanking for a ride every day in
the year. When they got down here they
met friend who procu ed them lodging on
West Broad street. Early yesterday m ,rn-
ing the sa ne friend had Policeman Daniels
rul the urchins in. The parents have been
notified and tle boys will probably be sent

FIXED THE FAIR'SDATES.
THE VOTE WAS FOR 1892, BUT THE
CHICAGO MEN WILL Kick.

TWO Of the City's Bsckers Absent
from the Committee Meeting, and
Those Present Refrained from Vot-
ing-Ihe Clause for a Guarantee OF
the Fund Not Yet Disposed Of
WASHINGTON, March 17.-There was an
other lively meeting of the worlds fair
committee to-day. Messrs. Frank of Mis-
souri, and Bowden of Virginia were absent
from the city, and Mr.. Wilson was engaged
in the ballot box nvestigation. As con-
sequence Chicago temporarily lost two
members favorable to her, and the commit
tee was tied up so as to be unable
to achieve any positive progress. TIE
fifth section of the bn was the first
matter under discussion. To this section
Mr. Belden of New York last Saturday
offered an amendment requiring positive
guarantee by the citizens of Chicago of
a SIC, 000,O0 fund. 1t soon became evident
that the committee was equally divided on
this proposition, so it was passed over for
the time.

tion on Oct. 10. 1892, and for the holding Of
tie far in 1898. The Chicago members had
all along declared that they were
prepared to accept the views Of
the committee on this point, although
perso ally they felt that in justice t. for
eign exhibitors and il view of the delay on
the part of congress acting upon the sub
ject it would be better TO hold the fair IN
1893. Therefore when the question was
put on Mr.. Gamblers motion they refrained
from voting, and the chairman found him
self alone in voting for the motion and it
was lost. ThereupOn the dates were filled
so as to require the fair TO be opened April
80, 1892, and closed Oct. 20 Of the same ear.

Townsville, GA, March 17.-Politics
is very quiet in Thomas county. There
seems to be a growing conviction, how
ever, that the alliance iuence will be felt
in the political movements to come.

The legislative pot has not begun to boil

request made by tie state alliance to have
all candidates nominated by primaries not
earlier than Aug lst.
EFFECTS OF THE FREEZE
While at Sanf rd's Dixie nursery a day
or two ago, the MORNING News correspo =
dent saw some of the unusual effects Of the
late freeze. A large banana sh ub tree
that was many years old was killed to the
ground. A number IF pomegrauate trees
also were entirely killed. Bushels of japan
piums, just ripening. were DESTROYED. Null
berry trees with bodies fifteen inches in

A RAILROAD CENTER
Townsville is looming up as a railroad cen

right of way secured. Leaving Tfton, this
road strikes down through Colquitt county,
passing about three miles west of Moul-

This road enters Townsville from the elst,
passing back of john Chastain's Jersey
farm, across the dry basin of Aitchell's old
trout lake, and touching the right of way
of the Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way a little below the Blackshear place,
about one mile from the present depot;
thence it runs parallel with the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway back Of the
Pine Summit hotel and reaches its terminal
between Hansell street and Dawson street,
situated Immediately upon the line of the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway.
The ground is level, the approach easy and
the facility TO get out and down toward
Florida is greater at this point than any
where else. This location Of the depot
will render Smith avenue a thorough re

The Florida Central and Peninsular rail-
road is preparing to build from Monticello
to Thomasville, to connect here with the
Georgia Southern and Florida. This would
be a most valuable connection for both
