| We learn that the balance of
the Road from Sparta to Macon {the Milledgeville
RR} has been let to Messrs. Orr, Thompson, Lockett, Collins and
other strong contractors. The work from Sparta to Milledgeville will
be put immediately under way, with a prospect of its completion in
less than twelve months. The grading is almost finished from Warrenton
to Sparta, the track laid for three miles; and the whole will probably
be done to Sparta early next Summer. This is good news for the friends
of the Road, and will show that our Yankee neighbors on the coast have
little effect on operations in the interior. |
