The Air Line Extension and Dupont
Extension Talked About.

waycross. Ca, March Sl.-F. B. Sir
mans and S. r. Patterson of Clinch coun-
ty are making arrangements for building
a railroad from Dupont to Fitzgerald.
These gentlemen last week spent several
days at Fitzgerald, and they met with
much encouragement The proposed line
will cross the Brunswick and Western line
of the Plant system at Willacoochee. The
plan of the promoters of the scheme is
for the members of the Fitzgerald colony
to sign a petition asking the Plant system
to build the road.
Report has ii also that a well defined
movement is being started by the
Waycross Air Line people to extend their
line to Fitzgerald. This has been mem
toned before in these dispatches, but not
in connection with the present scheme.
When former mention of the matter was
made only a few persons in Waycross,
who have no connection with the Air Line,
were talking of the probability of the
extension of the road. The information
is now that the matter is being considered
by the Air Line people, and the impress
sion is that few more weeks will bring
developments. The Waycross Air Line
has been completed 10 Nichols from Way
cross. distance of over thirty miles,
ana only about three miles would have
10 be built TO reach Fitzgerald.

Valdosta. Ga. March u.-CoL ". S.
West yesterday bought half interest in
the Force property IN the northern part
Of the city. II is understood that the deal
involves something more than $1,000, and
is another evidence OF the value OF
NsldOsta dirt. A few years ago the prop
erty could have been bought for a COM
paratively very small sum, but the build
ing which has been done in that part Of
town indicated the towns growth in that
direction, and all classes OF property has
brought big prices. IL is understood that
the tract will be cut up into building lots
and VIII be sold. In a few years the en-
tire place will be built up in splendid resi-
dences, a dozen or more having already
been constructed there during the last
year.
The revival which has been going on
at the Baptist church has resulted in a
greater addition TO the church's member
snip than any other series Of meetings
ever held here in many years. The inter
est SHOWN IN the meetings was unbounded,
and the crowds which attended were
large at every service. There were
tnlrty-one applicants baptized at the Bap-
tst church last Friday night, and the new
members for the entire period of the SER
vices viii probably reach fifty.
The MethOdists moved in their new
mouse OF worship on last Sunday and the
building was filled to overlooking to hear
the hrst sermon preached in IT. Rev. Bas-
com Anthony preached. and the initiation
OF the new edifice was an occasion of great
enthusiasm among the Methodist. Their
church is probably the handsOmest struct-
ure IN the state to have been built for S12,-
OOO. The interior cannot be excelled in
any city in the land.
A negro woman, the mother of William
Jones, prominent cOlOred merchant and
politician, dropped dead last night of
heart disease. She was apparently in
good health until just a short while before
her death.
The freeze Of last week did very little
damage to fruit or vegetables here. The
pear crop was probably slightly damaged,
put beyond that no harm was done. The
outlook for fruit and vegetables is good.
very large cabbage, which were raised
about here, are on the market now.
The democratic executive committee is
booked for a meeting tomorrow. The
work OF the committee can be relied upon
10 be IN line with old-time democratic
customs. There will be no "snap'in the
interest Of any especial candidate Lown-
ues county democrats have always fought
their battles fairly, and this fact has made
tnem stronger than they otherwise would
nave been. They believe that unfairness
Is shaped something like a boomerang.
