Tybee island on Friday proved quite a sue
cess and was greatly enjoyed by all who at

mirable railroad facilities afforded and the
good order preserved Messrs. Cubbedge

had charge were untiring in their efforts to
make all comfortable. and to these gentle
men the Sunday schools are indebted for a
delightful days pleasure

delighted with the progress the young men

TO the music-loving people of Guyton.

the depot park at Guyton, and the grounds
are soon to be laid off and planted in shrub
berry and flowers.
The park at the NARROW depot Is being
laid Off, and the enclosure is to be orna-
mented with flowers and shrubbery.
A recent trip over the Eden extension of
the Savannah and Western shows that the
country along the line OF the new road is
being rapidly settled. The country between
Ellabell and the Canoochee is an excellent
farming country and healthful. The many
new houses, with their artistic finishings
with the painters brush, meet the eye all
along the route
At Euphaupee, where the Central railroad
picnic was held, buildings are going up on
every hand. 1t promises to be one of the
most important points on the new road, as
the receipts OF lumber, naval stores and
agricultural products will be quite large.
The same building activity is noticeable
at Pembroke. Lumber and naval stores
are coming In freely there. There are mer-
chandise stores, drug store and several
pretty residences In the new town. The
lack of mail facilities here, as at other new
towns on the line, is the most serious draw
back. A petition has been forwarded to
the department asking for a postoffice at
Pembroke, and like petitions have gone
forward from the other towns 1t is be-
lieved that the government will put all the
new towns along the Savannah and West
-ern on regular mail route on and after
July l. The volume of business transacted
between the towns on the Savannah and
Western and this city demand daily mails.
Meldrim, at the junction Of the Central
anu oaVdnnan anu western, promises 10 Dc
one Of the prettiest places on the road.
Work on the new depot is progressing
slowly, but it is expected the building will
be completed during the month of July.
The depot grounds, when the work of i'm
provement has been completed, will be q
marvel Of beauty. A large plat
has been laid off, and artificial
lakes, fed by an artesian well, dot the
park. Aquatic growth has been planted
around tho Ia kas and a rustic hridOa SDana
one of the lakes Japonicas and other shrub
berry and tropical and semi-tropical flow
ers are being planted in the grounds Shade
trees are to be set out, and rustic seats are
to be introduced. 1t is well worth ones
while to take a run out from Savannah to
the Oconee on the Savannah, Americas and
Montgomery to see what a railroad, only
recently completed, has already done and is
