The surveying corps of the North and
South Short Line, which.began. work at Ku
kldx ferry on the Savannah river last Mon
day, has made considerable progress and is
enc tmped at Guyton. The crossing point
on the Central railroad was to have been at
about the twenty-five mile post, but sincs
entering Eff ighan the surveyors have
found it to their advantage to deviaue from
the first line SO as to take in the thriving
town OF Guyton.
Those in charge Of tie survey have
favorably impressed many of the people
of Eff ngham along the line of the projected
road, who are not slow TO express their con-
fidence i'll the enterprise.
Guytolians. and, deed, the people of
Etfingham, will gladly welcome the coming
Of the road, as also that Of the South Bound,
for there is in the county great deal of
fine timbered and undeveloped lands which
have laid dormant for century for the
want of the developing influences of more
rai.r ads.
The little town Of NARROW, twenty-six
miles from Savannah. Is gradually coming

having laid of into building lots q ID are
being rapidly taken for that purpose

and VINO have purchased lots and Will con-
mence at once the erection OF new houses,
are: j. w. Preston, Dr. w. F. Mcconnell,
A. Clarke Wright. Esq, E. F. Cunning
ham, j. Il. Whatley, aud others. Some of
these investors are young gentlemen whom
reports say have an eye TO business in more
WAYS than one.
Fro the interest manifested by those
who are seeking subur an homes. it is evil
dent that NARROW is destined to be thriv-
ing and desirable little town. Some time

some necessary improvements. 1t is pro-
posed to tuild hands me church and
town academy, 70 improve their park and
