Brutus was a strong character

the man that Antony said he was;
that he loved power and was not
the representative of the common
people as Antony said he was in
that great GRAFTON. They furth-

not m bilious and doing all those
great acts for powerfully did
he refuse to go to the senate un-
til he was told that he would be
offered that day kingly crown?
His wife, Calpurnia, had told him
her dream, that she saw his stat

1t can be started on unques-
tionable authority that an inde-
pendent syndicate, headed by
Mr.. John Shelton Williams, the
great Baltimore financier and
railroad magnate, who built and
steered the fortunes of the Sea-
board Air Line railway for so
long, have already com pleted ar
raugements for the purchase OF
q series of short lines between
this city and Valdosta, about two
hundred and fifty miles distant,
and they will at once commence
the work of building he con-
necting links. which will require
that less than one hundred miles
of track be laid. Tangible ac-
ton in the carrying out of this
project was taken in the city OF
Augusta yesterday when a deal

about forty miles further on from
Valdosta to Tallahassee, Fla,
whence there are already in
operation two separate lines to
the Gulf coast.
The instant effect upon Auguo
sta's commerce and population of
the completion of such a maguif-
cent trunk line is hardly to be es.
timated. AS soon as through
trains shall be operated from
Augusta to Valdosta it will bring
an additional trade of hundreds.
of thousands of dollars and many
thousand more of inha bitants.
1t will traverse the counties of
Richmond, Burke, Emanuel,
Toombes, JEFF. Davis, Coffee,
Berrien and Lowndes, eight of
the largest and most prosperous
counties of the state, with a
varied wealth which is hardly to
be estimated, including the finest
cotton growing section in the
world, both long and short staple,
unsurpassed timber, turpentine
and cattle lands. taking in scores
of large and growing towns and
embracing, exclusive of Richmo-
nd, territory of more than a
hundred thousand people, for
besides these eight which is
actually touches, it runs within
'hailing distance" of half dozen
lothers equally as desirable and
withal that the resources of the
country have been scarcely touc-
he'd, for in most part it is undis-
turbed.
From Valdosta to the Gulf it
would have to cross the great
county of Brooks, admittedly the
most progressive and prosperous
rural county in the State, if not
in the South, where the farmers
sell meat to the merchants,
There would be three or four OF
the virgin FLORIDA counties, to say
nothing of the tact that it would
touch Tallahassee, the capital city.
