STILL PUSHING WEST.

The Centrars New Connection With
the Louisville and Nashville.
The Central railroad is pushing rapidly
ahead toward a connection with the Louis
vile and Nashville in southern Alabama.
The connection will be made by the ex-
tension Of the Mobile and Girard railroad,
from Troy. Ala, to Pollard or Brewton on
the Louisville and Nashville, about eighty
miles distant, The greater portion of this
line has been graded, and about ten miles
of track has been laid already. A bridge
is now being built over the Conecuh river.
A meeting of the stockholders of the
Mobile and Girard railroad was held at Co
lumbus Saturday, at whic Gen. Alexander.
president of the Central, and Pat Calhoun,
general counsel and director of the Rich
mond Terminal, were present.
Resolutions were adopted, authorizing the
extension of the road to Pollard or Brewton,
Pensacola and Mobile, and to bond the road
at S12. $50 per mile, the issue of bonds not to
exceed 81, 100000.
| Gen. Alexander said the resolution was in
line with the original intention OF the people
Of all this section of country. The extern
sion would open up a line to the gulf, develop
a fine territory and prove good speculation
and benefit to all parties concerned. In
| view VI OLS many sCuSIhcs AiiAod OuG LOi
outlets to the east, Gen. Alexander consd-
cred it really remarkable that this one had
not been pushed through before.
| Gen. Alexander said the extension to @
| connection with the Louisville aud Nash
Vile at Brewton or Pollard will place
Columbus on the Atlantic Coast Line
from New York to New Orleans and No
bile. The route would be a short, practical
and popular one He referred to the good
track and equipment of the Atlantic Coas,
Line through the Clrolinas, and the prob
abilities of being able to secure contract
for carrying the mails aud express between
New York and New Orleans Over
tho new line, which ha(
been advised and contemplated
since 1878, when Col. Wadley, then presi
dent of the Central railroad, mad been urget
to make the extension, but was not able a
that time to effect the necessary financial
arrangements. He referred to the move t.
build the Wilmington cutoff in the Caro-
linas, which would shorten the distance be
tween Wilmington and Florence abou
seventy-five miles, and also to the con
templated extension from Sumter to Au
gusta, both of which moves would prove o
great benefit TO the Coast Line and all thi
stretch of country.
Gen. Alexander explained that 81 $50, 90
OF new bonds will be necessary to take u
the old bonds of the Mobile and Girard roaC
The remainder Of the issue was expected t
cover the extension from Troy to Brewto
or Pollard, so miles, the Pensacola branch
100 miles, and, if necessary, direct line O
7 to Mobile.

The lug trade" of Savannah seems to
increase, and the houses that do a jug bust
ness are preparing for the big hol day rush,
which will start up in a snort TIM.
Any one seeing the large number Of jugs
OF whisky shipped from Savannah every
week 70 the prohibition tons of the interior
would be asuonished.
The week preceding Christmas is the one
during which the heaviest shipments are
made. Jugs by the carload go into the
country. If a temperance orator would
stand in one of the railroad freight houses
for a short period during this time and
watch the shipments OF jugs, an enormous
amount of data could be obtained with
which to appeal to the people against the
liquor traffic.
One house, last year, during the week
Immediately preceding Christmas, shipped
over 2, 700 jugs to the country, and it is
arranging to handle much larger business
this season. The Southern Express Com

CHRISTMAS Is NOT FAR OFF.

The Season When Happiness Abounds.
About this time Of year, old minds and
middle aged minds, and young minds, and
still younger minds and hearts, incline to
that brief period in which happiness and
good feeling is supposed to pervade the en-
tire world, excluding, perhaps, SANKEY'S
recently discoved dark continent, whose ma
tives probably do not know Christmas
from the Fourth of July.
1t is good for man that this little gap in
his wild search for money intervenes to re-
mind him that there Is something else in
life besides money getting in fact that there
is greater pleasure in spending it. Pur-
veyiug to the tender sentiment
that prevails during the holiday
season Messrs. M. sternberg g. Bro, the
leading Jewelry, Diamond aud Art Dealers
at 157 Broughton, have gathered from the
four quarters Of the earth an indescribably
superb line of Christmas presents, gems in
gold and silver and fine wares, creations Of
skilled genius end fairy-like conceptions Of
brains that are always alert for novelty.
originality and worth. The gold and silver
smith has excelled his past cunning. The
German potteries have from dreams evolved
the most delicate faucies i'll mold and
| decoration, and therefore at Sternberg's
holiday buyers will find an avalanche of
holiday goods at prices far below any here
tofore attempted in this city. Bridal
presents are also to be had in profus6 variety
and the taste or fancy that S.ernbarg
cannot please has palled on it's owner.-Ad.
