and News.
Mr.. E. T. Courvoisie, agent OF the Port
Royal and Augusta at the former place,
who resided at MARROW and was connected
with the Central railroad some time since,
has disposed of his NARROW residence to Mr..
w 7. Fxley, who will move up at an early
day TO superintend in person the construc-
tion of several houses which he proposes
m erect. The peOple of NARROW are
very much elated over securing
Mr. Exleys presence aud influences TO aid
them in building up the vacant lots of that
delightfully."- situated town. Mr.. Exley is
largely interested IN Guyton, and the people
reeTet very much that he did not buili and
locate at Guyton.
Since the town of Guyton has had the
tramroad which ran through the place taken
M Mr.. C. W. Shearouse, one of Eliingham's
mill men, has moved up and established
a hourishing mill near Guyton on the
Springfield road, so as TO be in position to
supply the local demand for lumber. Mr. d.
G.. Heidi keeps a line of wagons constantly
on the road to haul the prod sets of this mill
which has allayed the fears Of those who
favored the retention of tine ira nroad to
give Guytou her lumber supply. If reports
be true, quite a number will locate and
build at Guyton this spring and summer.
The people of Springfield do not intend
that the South Bound railroad shall give
that delightful sani5arium the 60 by with
cut making a fight for it. Strongly forti-
fed with that view that have resurrected
the survey made by Col. Fry's engineer
corps which shows the distance sJartil z
from Judge Pittman's residence in Spring
geld to Savannah to be % 40 miles. and to
add the distance from Springfield
to Sisters Ferry the place selected
TO cross the Savannah river,
will add eight miles more, making the total
distance from Savannah TO Sisters Ferry
so 40 miles. The people of Springfield
claim that this is the shortest line and by
far the most economical and most desirable
route; besides, they will have on the line OF
the new road a place Of historical interest
and delightfully."- situated for suburban
homes and summer resort.
