| Macon & Western Railroad |
| This Railroad, says the
Griffin "Democrat," of the 14th, is now doing an excellent
freight ????? {line lost in the fold of the
paper} ing business, two or three trains
passing ??? the Road every day, heavily freighted with produce,
&c., for middle and lower Georgia. The damage done to the State {Western
& Atlantic RR} and Nashville {&
Chattanooga} Roads, by the recent rains,
having been repaired, so as to allow the connection to be made, the
business for several weeks to come may be expected to be very heavy.
In these times of scarcity, Railroads are indispensable. The people
could not do without them. Wherever a Road is practicable and would
yield a profit, there one should be built and put in operation. Though
the times are hard, we hope our people will not lose sight of the
different Roads in contemplation from this place. They enrich the
whole country through which they pass. |
