G. & A. WANTS THE PROPERTY.
ROBERTSVnLE PEOPLE SAY or
TIONS HAVE BEEN GIVEN.

The Tract Bounded by stewart and
Roberts Streets and Extending Al
most to Wilson street From West
Broad Has Been secured-MOney
Has Been Paid as Evidence of
Good Faith and to Hold Property
Owners TO COntracts-It Is Said tue
Line of the G. a A. TO Approach
the New Terminals VIII Bend
Southwark and Come in From BE-
yOnd GwInnett street.
Property owners in Robertsvil.e corrobo-
rated the report in the Morning News that
the Georgia and Alabama Railroad is Sc
curing options on property there. Many
have given such options, and it is said the
road has secured or will secure all the
land it needs.
The tract upon which the road has OPP
tons is bounded by West Broad, Stew
art and Roberts streets and extends al
most TO Wilson street. This is nearly the
entire block, known as Walton ward.
A Savannah real estate agent represent
ed the Georgia and Alabama in securing
the options. Each property owner was
approached, and proposition was made
him. 1t is understood that nearly, if not
quite, all the land wanted by the road has
been secured on options or will be when
negotiations have been concluded. II Is
known that options have been given by
number of owners and the papers signed
The Roberts estate is the principal owner
of the ward. 1t is understood that negoti-
atoms are yet pending for its holdings,
but smaller owners have given the road
what its agents asked for. One man owns
four houses on a lot that he holds by
lease. The land belongs to the Roberts
estate. He has given the road an option
on the houses, which are one-story build
ings, at $3.50, the road to be allowed to
make any disposition il may see fit of
them As an evidence of good faith and
TO be forfeited to him if the road does
not take the property, SO was paid the
owner 1t is said no time was mentioned
in this option, but it was understood from
another source that the road gives itself
sixty days in which to take the land it
wants. 1t will be known in that time
what it wants to do.
1t is said that 1t is proposed TO make a
sweep TO the southwark and bring the
tracks to the proposed terminal site from
that direction. 1t Is said the line viii be
turned out beyond Gwinnett street This
may be on account of available lands be-
ing found out in that section or through
the land in other sections being not so
well adapted to the running of the line.
The contour Of the country has to be
considered and it must be determined
whether building on certain ground Is
practicable before it is secured as part Of
yards or right-of-way
Property owners in Robertsville and that
section are interested in the options and
the advance they expect to see their hold
lngs take on. They are alive to the adj
Vantages the erection of a depot fronting
on West Broad affords, and are anxious
to see the road decide to take the prop
erty. 1t is said the Georgia and Alabama
found no difficulty on the score of high
prices the owners seeming disposed to sen
at reasonable figures

WANTED A WATER ROUTE.

People Inquire i'm Havana for
Steamships to Savannah.
Mr.. Mills B. Lane, vice president of the
Citizens Bank, has been impressed for
some time with the belief that a line of
steamships between Savannah and Cuba
would do a good business, and this opin-
ion was strengthened while he was in Ha-
vana a few days ago. When he applied
at ticket Office in Havana for a ticket
to Savannah he found several persons VINO
were looking for direct water route mere.
Since this was true when he was there,
he judges that there must be many people
who prefer to travel by water from Ha-
vana to Savannah.
Mr.. Lane spent several days in Havana
last week. His visit to the Cuban capital
was merely in the pursuit of pleasure. He
found many things to interest him and
repay him for the trip. His renewal of
acquaintance and friendships made while
the Seventh Army Corps was here were
pleasant, and he shook hands with many
of the officers and men whom he met
while the troops were in camp near Sa-
vannah.
The American troops encamped near Ha-
vana get but little opportunity to see the
city, Mr.. Lane says. Gen, Brooke, the
military governor, does not approve of the
soldiers being allowed in the city at my
time they may desire, and has made it
necessary for officers and men to nave
passes. If they are caught without them,
the provost takes charge. Even the colo
nels are not allowed the privilege. This
is surprising, as officers of such rank usu-
ally have no difficulty in going wherever
they like.
There has been great improvement made
in the sanitary condition of Havana. The
street cleaning force has been at work and
the changes they have wrought have been
very satisfactory. Mr.. Lane went over
the city, and found everything very clean.
This was a matter of surprise, as state
ments of the dirt to be encountered have
left no great opinion of the city's cleanlI-
ness.
Mr.. Lane found the troops generally
pretty anxious to get back to this country
This desire is shared by the officers and by
the men. Nearly all seem to have had
enough of army life in Cuba, and are
ready TO be mustered out of the service
There are some of the officers who would
not mind staying in the service, but the
desire to get out has seized upon the ma
jority.

WOMENS
SECRETS.

There is one man in the United States
who has perhaps heard more women's
secrets than any other man or woman in.
the country. These secrets are not Sc
crets of guilt or shame, but the secrets of
suffering, and they have been confded
to DIR. R. V. Pierce in the hope and ex-
pectation of advice and help. That few
OF these women have been disappointed
IN their expectations is proved by the
TACT that ninety-eight per cent. of all
women. treated by DR.. Pierce have been
absolutely and altogether cured. Such a
record would be remarkable if the cases
treated were numbered by hundreds
only. But when that record applies to
the treatment of more than half-a-rnil-
lion women, in practice of over thirty
years, 1t Is phenomenal, and entities DR..
Pierce to the gratitude accorded him bv
women, and the honor paid him by the
profession as the first of specialists in
the treatment of women's diseases.
Every sick woman may consult DIR.
Pierce by letter, absolutely without
charge. Every woman's letter which
contains her secret remains her secret.
1t IS read in private, answered in private,
and its contents guarded as a sacred con
tidence. That no third party should enter
into this secret, all replies are mailed
sealed in perfectly plain envelopes, with
out any printing or advertising whatever
upon them. Write without fear as with
out fee, to DIR. R. V, Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
