THE RICHMOND REUNION.

Gen. Alexander and Judge Falligant
Both Expected, But Cannot Go.
Gen. E. P. Alexander, who has been in
vited to attend the banquet at the annual
reunion of the Army of Northern Virginia
at Richmond, Va, on May 2S, and respond
to the toast, THE Artillery" says it will be
impossible for him to reach Richmond
earlier than the morning of the 29th, in
order to be present at the exercises con-
nected with the unwilling of the Lee moau-
ment. Gen. Alexander urged Judge
Robert Falligant, the alternate selected
to respond to the toast in
Gen. Alexander's absence, yesterday
to go, but Judge Falligant, much to his re-
greet, is unable to comply, as he must preside
in the superior court of Mcintosh on that
day. Judge Falligant says that it is keen
disappointment to him not to be able to
meet in reunion with his gallant comrades,
but last year he was compelled to postpone
the session of the superior court of McIn-
tosh, called north by the illness of his
daughter, and it would not do to again
disappoint tie bar and litigants of
that county by another postpone
ment this year. He says that
Gen. Alexander was Georgia's greatest
artillery officer in Lees array, and illus
trated that branch of the service by able
and distinguished action, and Gen. Alexan-
der is the one man who can do the subject
justice. He not only wrote to Gen. Alex
ander to that effect but followed it up by a
personal visit and appeal to him to try and
fill the engagement.
The meeting between the two comrades
was most cordial, and Gen. Alexander
assured Judge Falliganu that If they could
both meet at the banquet board that Judge
Falligant would have to do the speaking, as
he was happy speaker, while Gel. Alex
ander speaking of himself, said he is no
speaker, and wouldn't attemp5 it, but would
furnish his friend data for the subject if he
could be prevailed ON to go.
1t is understood that Gen. g. M. Sorrel,
| who is now in New York. will be present at
| the unwilling of the Lee monument. 1t is
of its distinguished citizens aud soldiers
were SO fatteringly remembered by the
| Army of Northern Virginia.

RivertOn.

Few places have offered to investors such
a favorable opportunity for absolutely GER
tain returns as Riverton, Ala, located at
the head of low water barge navigation on
the Tennessee river. The company promot-
ing this enterprise has ample funds to
operate their proposed industries without
depending upon the sale of town lots OF
any other contingency which does not make
absolutely certain the promises of the town
company. Riverton commands a situation
as regards transportation to the gre 1t
mineral belts of Alabama, and also to the
fertile valleys and rich agricultural
districts of the lower Tennessee and east
Mississippi. Its natural situation is un-
questioned, and possibilities have become
certainties, backed by a strong English
syndicate as its promoter. -AdU.

Col. Machen is determined 20 keep ois

blue and red ink has been sent out. 1t is

the day of the Second Georgia battalion
drill. IL is evident, however, that the Mid
die Georgia and Atlantic has not yet crossed
Little River at Eatonton, as the train is
advertised to Leave Little river. near
Eatonton."
No one here seems TO know what Col.
Machen is doing in the way of construction
work, but it is believed that force is still
at work between the river and Eatonton.
1t is limited that Col Machen may be
interested with Mr.. Hughes in the Macon
and Dublin road, while others think the
Macon and Atlantic may be behind Presl-
dent Hughes, but no one here seems
to be in the secret. The Sparks
men are not inclined to
think that Col. Machen is in any way con-
nected with the Macon and Dublin. That
the Central is not in it may be drawn from
the statement of Gen. Alexander to a
MORNING NEWS reporter yesterday that if
a parallel line is projected he will push the
road from Dublin to Griswoldville and give
his system short route to Macon.

IT HARDLY AMOUNTS TO RENT.
Warehouse Property on Liberal
Terms.

The extension of the Central railroad
tracks down River street has brought into
Immediate and active demand all property
abutting on the line of the road. Heavy
and perishable goods are brought in the car
originally shipped in to the door of the
warehouse and handled but once. In ship
ping, the car is loaded under your personal
supervision, and all the advantages to be
derived from careful loading and handling
without delay are experienced. The
merchant now who has to dray his goods to
and from the railroads is sadly behind the
times and working at a decided disad-
vantage as to his competitors.
The property known as the Lathrop
warehouse enjoys all of these advantages,
and the purchase of it is placed within the
means OF all by the very liberal terms
offered, to wit: But 81 800 cash and the
balance divided into four annual payments,
with interest at the very low rate of per
cent. per annum.-Adu.

wHACKING THE RATES.
The Ticket Agents Kept Busy by Sum-
mer Resort Travellers.

AAo @ACkeb agents hSpt Busy Oy Sum
mer Resort Travellers.
The ticket agents are selling summer ex-
cursion tickets in spite of the kick by the
western roads. The rate war in the west,
too, is helping travel The rate the other
day from Savannah to Kansas City by the
cut from Birmingham by the Kansas City,
Memphis and Birmingham road was $26 s..
Another cut has since been made, which
makes the fare from Birmingham 10 Dem
yer, Col, just $16 the rate from Kansas
City to the Rocky mountain metropolis
being but So. The effect of the war has not
been felt to any appreciable extent save in
the cutting of the rate. There is no un-
usual hustling for business, and there is
nothing going on that would in any way
indicate that rate war was in progress.
Railroad men. however, predict that before
the fight is over that the rates will go down
so low that the trip from Birmingham to
Denver can be made for the nominal outlay
of $40.
The inquiries about rates to the resorts
are increasing here. The ticket agents are
answering more questions now than they
have answered in many a day.
Asheville is holding its own, with the
Virginia points second. Tallullah is ahead
in Georgia, with Clarksville second
Marietta is coming up better than was ex-
pected. Already several families have gone
to Marietta to spend the summer.
The excursion tickets recently placed ON
sale admit of but one stop-over TO or from
the point of destination. For instance, on
ticket to Tallulah a passenger may stop
over at Macon aud spend as many days be-
fore Oct. as desired. but the stop-over at
Macon will bar a stop-over at Atlanta.
The agents find that the people are much
more pleased with the present tickets than
with the old ones. They don't care to be
rushed to the resorts, nor do they wish to
be hurried back.

They Decide Not to Enter the Augusta
Encampment.
The Savannah Volunteer Guards batta-

encampment. A meeting of the companies
was held yesterday and the trip was
abandoned. The reason for the action is
what the Guards consider failure on the
part Of the state to furnish the proper camp
equipments The failure Of the
Guards to enter the encampment will not
only be a disappointment to some of the
members of the battalion and to the other
military companies of Savannah who will
go, but it will reduce Savannah's repre-
