"Now is the time for the Middle Georgia
and Atlantic railroad to be brought to the
| front again, said prominent business man
on the Bay yesterday. "The people of Sa-
vannah and the country as WE'LL" he said
"are looking for some other out
let besides the Central railroad
The Mi1dle Georgia and Atlantic offers Sa-
vannah just what she needs. another trunk
line to the north and west. Now is the time
for the directors OF the Seaboard company
to bestir themselves. They must carry out
their contract with the city with regard to
Hutchinson's Island il they expect to retain
that magnificent piece of property. The
conditions are very favorable TO
a movejust now. The South
Bound is seeking terminals here
and Col. Hawkins is anxious to come In
with the Savannah, Americas and Mont
gomery. There is splendid opportunity
for combination with one or both Of these
lines for terminals and perhaps for begin
ming work upon the line toward Atlanta.
| j. G. Shaw, passenger agent of the East
| Tennessee, Vir sinia and Georgia Short Line
between Savannah and Atlanta, has arrived
and taken charge of the passenger business
Of the road in Savannah. If there is any,
body who knows how to hustle for travel
and how to get it, Jim Shaw
is the man. He is warmly welcomed
by his friends here who are glad to have
him back in Savannah. The Gate City
special, and the East Tennessee, Virgins
and Georgia's passenger interests are in
good hands when left in Mr.. Shaw's hands.
