SHORT LINE PLANNED
FROM ATLANTA TO SEA?
Apparently, Macon, Dublin &
Savannah Road May Form
Seaboard Link =

The reports from New York that Presi-
dent ]. A. Blair Jr.. of the Macon. Dub
lin and Savannah railroad, contemplates
an inspection tour of the lines of the
road of which he is the executive head.
tends to confirm the report recently
published by The Journal that the Ma
con. Dublin and Savannah was to form
the connecting link of the Seaboard Air
Lines reported direct route from At
lanta to Savannah and the sea.
Several years ago when this line was
first proposed the Macon, Dublin and Sa-
vannah railroad was controlled by the
Seaboard Air Line During the receiv-
ership proceedings of the last named
road. the Macon, Dublin and Savannah
passed into other hands. While not now
known to be an interest of the Seaboard,
the Macon, Dublin and Savannah has
as its president the son OF one of the
largest stockholders of the Seaboard.
Should the Seaboard build this new
line, which every indication strongly
points to, it would be the shortest line
from Atlanta to Savannah and the At
lantic seaboard at that place The Cen
tral of Georgia railways mileage from
Atlanta to Savannah is 294 miles. The
short line now from Atlanta to Savannah
is via the Southern railway to Macon,
IS miles; the Macon, Dublin and Savan-
nah from Macon to VidaIia, SO miles,
and the Seaboard Air Line from Vidalia
to Savannah, 70 miles, which gives a
total OF 260 miles against the 294 miles
of the Central of Georgia.
It is claimed that IL the Seaboard does
build into Macon, it will be a more d.
rect line to Macon than the Southern
railway now has, which, would bring the
mileage still lower and would give quick
er service and the rates from Atlanta
to Savannah It would also open a new
field of development and would mean
much to many Georgia towns along the
route OF the Macon, Dublin and Savan-
nah railroad.
Reports from New York say that de-
spite the denials of Macon, Dublin and
Savannah officials. there is strong be-
lief that the extension will be made, as
exclusively printed in The Journal three
years ago.

THE CIRCUS
As Viewed by the Different Members of the Family and the Inevitable
 Conclusion Reached by All

Circus day is fast approaching and the small boy is on his best behavior. If 1t were not the fact that his mother is wise to ais methods his an gelic goodness would give her some alarm. She knows that he is work Ing to see that circus" For that matter, mother wants to see it also. Father is non-committal, but it is the one best bet that he will be there if It is for no other reason than to take the boy. You see he has not forgot ten when he was little shaver him. self
 Sparks worlds famous shows will soon be here and will then unfold its myriads of wonders gathered from all portions of the universe. The prin- cipal query 1t presents is, Are you going to the circus?" The answers give rise to the belief that show day will see the greatest outpouring of people from all parts of the county this city ever seen. There is every reason to expect this. The promises held forth are simply wonderful and they come from an institution which in over quarter of a century has never broken faith with the public or advertised things 1t did not have. There is undoubted truth in the statement that the Sparks shows has reached in all it's departments the highest perfection of excellence. It has ransacked Europe in its search tor wonderful acts and feats. The performance Is one of infinite vari- ety, containing many acts, the mere description of which pales before the acts themselves.
 Every regard is held for the con- fort of the people on the show grounds. The tents are all new and of the finest waterproof canvas. A magic touch seems to have been placed over the entire circus city, and the parade. to be given at twelve o'clock noon, will furnish a glorious prelude to the circus itself, for it will display a thousand wonders. Mag nificent chariots and floats will be drawn by handsome horses, beautiful open dens showing their ferocious in mates will be in evidence and there will be many comical features to make the youngsters shout with glee. Thousands of visitors are expected to come from the surrounding country to see the parade and take in the ex- hibitions, and 1t will no doubt be . big day for this city.

REVIVAL A GRAND SUCCESS

The revival meeting at the Methodist church has been, up to this hour, a grand success. Some thirty. five or more bave professed faith in Christ, and the church has been greatly revived. An immense crowd heard Rev. Shaw's sermon last night on The Day of Judgement" and MT. Tatum closed the service in e most inspiring way. Nearly all the men in the house bowed at the alter for prayer, then shook hands in a brotherly way with each other, and the congre gation passed in absolute silence from the church.
 Tonight Rev. Shaw will preach his sermon on The B a C k Horse, " a sermon that all should hear.
