The owl is one Of the most useful OF ouI
feathered friends He is ready for some
thing to eat just about the time when
mice and other little creatures come ou'
to &c. their supper in the gardens and
fields. BY destroying numbers Of these
pests he does great good, and deserves q
better fate than to tie killed and nailed up
on the barn door. Woodpecke,s are
among our most useful servants. Every
one kills. thousands OF insects in the sum
mer, digging them ont Of the bark and
wood. II they were to stop work many
fruit and shade trees would die Yet be
cause they cut hoes in the bark, which
scientific men say does not injure the trees
farmers give the birds bad name and
kill them whenever they can. The more
people find out what they really eat the
better they know that birds are almost al'
ways the best helpers farmers and gardeni
ers can have. They do, to be sure, some
times eat fruit, but they hsye paid for ev
cry hi, q dozen times over in the insects
destroyed. tf

THE PLAN
FOR REORGANIZATION of the Georgia
Central.

fOr reorganization of the Georgia
Central.
By Telegraph to State Chronicle.
NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-A plan for the
reorganization of the Georgia Central
railroad has been practically agreed upon
between the creditors of the road and its
directors, and it will be formally an
nounced In a week or ten days. It is
learned that the plan will involve a
scaling down of interest in the bonded
debt Of the road and new issue of first
mortgage bonds sufficient to retire the
first mortgage per cent. bonds. which
mature January /, and also to take up
the floating debt. The new bouds will
bear per cent. interest. An issue Of
new preferred stock is also contemplated
In the plan for the purpose of strength
ening the junior securities of the
company. The bonds maturing January
1 will be exchanged dollar for dollar
with the new bonds, but some of the
holders of the junior bonds will have to
accept rs per cent. of their par value,
the difference to be made up in bonds D.
preferred stock.
The floating debt of the road, now
carried by Messrs. H B. Hollins and
company, Woodward and Stillman. E.
Rollins Morse, E. w. Denniston. Wilson
Colston and company, and the Equitable
Life Insurance company, will also be
taken up by the issue of new first mort
gage bonds. The reorganization will
provide for enough money to put the
road into good physical condition, Ii
is said that the 81, 900, 900 of the roads
common stock held by the Richmond
Terminal company is not to be dealt
with in any way.
