ALL ROADS LEAD TO SAVANNAH.
The Union Point and White Plains
Line Headed This Way.

Line Headed This Way.
GREENSBORO, GA, March 9.-Unless all
signs fail. Greene county will be an import
ant railroad center within the next few
years. and Union Point will hold tho key to
the situation
Briefly, there is strong reason TO believe
that the Union Point and White Plains rail
road will be vigorously pushed to Sanders
vile via Sparta, and there be urgei to the
city of Savannah. President Hart of the
Union Point and White Plains railroad is
in earnest about it, and the pro-
Dosed route would open TO your
city the richest bell Of Middle Georgia.
Then, also the route would give the short
est line from Athens, Charlotte. and points
north and east to SAVANNA habor. Ihls
connecting link of few dozsn miles woul1
practically save hundreds in the distance
from Nj IDLE Georgia to the Atlantic sea-
board, and would make a similar saving to
points teyond and on the Georgia the
Richmond and Danyille and connecting
branches. President Hart will also urge
the building of line from Union Point
through the counties Of Greene, Oglethorpe
and Ebert, to tap the g., Z. and n. at
Ebert. n, and open up still more territory
through Middle Georgia for Savannah
business men and shippers.
BOTH LINES WELL BACKED.
President Hart is giving his undivided
time to these two schemes, and / am re-
liably informed that there is a strong back
lug for the two new lines. Savannah should
feel an interest in the proposed route, as 1t
will open to her business men ricn and
prosperous territory in Bermuda grass
Georgia. Surveying on the extension has
already commenced under Civil Engineer
Mcpherson, and, l am told, that it will he
but few months until active work will be
commenced.
POLITICAL SKIRMISHING.
While great amount of political Skin
mishing is going on in a slick kind of way,
no candidates in Greene county have for
maily announced themselves as yet. With
the coming of court next week, however, it
is reasonable to infer that those who have
an eye to legislative honors will come
squarely before the people,
Court this week promises to be short. The
only criminal Of Importance is that of
Henry Mapp, charged with murder. The
evidence is strong against him, and he will
probably be convicted.

Poison Made from Dead Ants.

Not the least interesting episode in MT. Stanley's wonderful story of his last journey in the Dark Continent is his account of the poisoned arrows used with such deadly effect by the natives against his followers. The exact nature of the poison used re- manned an enigma until he discovered in one of the illages several packets of dried red ants, and learnt that the poison was procured from them. The insects are dried, ground to powder and cooked in palm-oil, and tho mkt ure is applied to the points of the Gr- rows. The noxious compound owes its power to formic acid, which exists in the bodies O! ants, in certain cater pillars, and even in stinging-nettles. When pure, this acid has a most cor rosive action on the skin, producing plisters which are difficult to heal Its action was TO doubt especially deadly to those whose frames were already much weakened by hunger and over-exertion.

AN EXPENSIVE FIND.
How Higgins Celebrated the Discovery
 a Five-DoIIar Gold Piece.

Five-Do1Iar Gold Piece.
 "Jee Whillikens! Whats that?" Higgins made a dive for something in he mud at his feet, fshed it out be- ween his thumb and finger, and slapped his thigh joyfully as he said: A fve-dollar gold piece. sure as rms! First money l ever found iu my fe! I'll have me new hat out of hat, and take the babies home some oys and something to my wife!"
 4 moment later he met two friends, and said:
 "Ha, Smythe, how are youP How're 'ou, Haley? S'poslng we step into Archie Flynn's place and take some hing. I've just found five dollars and I'll set 'em up on the strength Of it. J
 What he ''set up" cost eighty cents, aEd ten minutes later he met three Of he "boys" from the office and gen. srously ''set up'' ''cigars all round"
 Then he tossed twenty-five cents to ! blind beggar and gave the office boy .cn cents for blacking his boots.
 He wrote letter to his married sis ter that morning, to which was the 'nllowing postscript:
 'I picked up five dollars on the ;trect to-day, and inclose two of it, with which you may get the children ,omcthing from Uncle Henry"
 Guess I'll go down to the Parker House and get my dinner to-day in- cad of to the lunch-counter round ho corner" he said at noon; tI can ,sford something extra to-day"
 Then he paid 9 dollar and half or new straw hat, spent dollar for avs for the children and another dol ar for vase for his wife
 By Jove!' he said, as he was pass ing a theater. my wife's been want ng all the week to go and sec Lotta and 1 said we couldn't afford it, but hanged if we can't when fellow picks five-dollar gold pieces up out of the mud!'
 A day or two later Higgins found rather sober amusement in covering q sheet of paper with the following figures:
