| We are informed that the
question of route has finally been settled. The connection {to
the Georgia RR} is to be inside the corporation as first
contemplated. The Road will run a few rods south of the Methodist E.
Church. The grade work through town will commence in a few days. |
| We rode out one day last week,
as far as Judge Welborn's plantation, for the purpose of taking a look
at the work. Our old friend John H. Colt has charge of the bridge
work, and is progressing finely with it; and we take occasion to say
that it could not have fallen into better hands. He will be ready to
raise one of the creek bridges this week, and the next in a few days
after. He is the right man in the right place. |
| {Paper
creased} for grading is a tremendous one,
but is progressing as fast as the means of the work will allow. He is
in fact the only man we know of, equal to his job. He is another man
in the right place, while it requires just such a man as Con. D. M.
Clower to do the masonry. |
| We are told that all the
contracts between Warrenton and Sparta are being pushed forward. |
