OBJECT TO GRANTING
OYSTER LAND TRACT

and Granted Petition.

County Commissioners Overruled
and Granted Petition.
There was a lengthy session of the
County Commissioners court yester-
gay afternoon and much evidence was
taken regarding conditions prevailing
along the water-fronts of the county.
Inc case grew out of an objection filed
70 the granting of the application of
Messrs j. ]. McDonough and Harry
Haslam for certain oyster lands.
Inc objection was filed on two
grounds. 1t was charged that the ap-
pncants did not wish the lax.1 for
themselves, but they only waived to
urn II over to Patsy Grogan. 1t was
also claimed the tract in question was
natural oyster bed and that 1t had
never been cultivated by any one.
Inc evidence was decidedly conflict
ing. Negro oystermen were the psfn-
c.pal witnesses. Some told Of one state
Vi anairs and others of conditions d.
Ieetiy opposed, the evidence depending
seehlngly on which side had sub
poehed the witnesses. One fact that
Was uncontradicted, however. was that
!atsy Grogan had done much to cul-
uVate the beds.

NEW RAILROAD FOR
TATTNALL COUNTY
Grading for Line From ReidsviIIe (,
GlennViIle.

Grading for Line From ReidsviIIe to
GlennviIle.
Tattnall county is to have another
railroad.
1t is to run from Reidsville to Glenn
vile. The latter is a prosperous town
in the southeastern corner of the coun-
ty, and on the line of considerabl
farm development.
1t is thought that when the new
railroad reaches Glennville the next
move will be to build connection to the
Atlantic Coast Line at Johnston's Sta
ton or Jesup.
Mr.. w. M. Bradley, of Hagan, pro-
jector of the new railroad, has begun
the work of grading, and the result is
that Reidsville is on a boom in anticipa-
ton of the benefits that the town
will derive from opening up new ter
ritory to it's business men.

Southern Railway officials to locate
John Renley of Crawfordville, Ind,
