The Railroad Again

The bill introduced in the legislature incorporating the Jackson and Indian 
Spring railroad has passed both houses, as we are all aware, and from what we 
can learn the projectors of this important enterprise are more determined than 
ever to carry out the plan of building the road.  Some time ago we made 
editorial mention of the probability of this road, whereupon an eccentric 
contemporary threw out the suggestion that the “possibility” had better be put 
in italics.  But we still adhere to our original declaration that the road 
would pay handsome dividends, prove a great convenience to the traveling 
public, be a benefit to the Springs, to Jackson and Butts County, and the 
indications are that the road will be built.  Messrs. Watkins & Sons are men of 
means, as well as men of business sense, and who have never been known to begin 
a thing and abandon it before it was completed.  Before another season we 
expect to hear the toot of the engine on this road, and see its coaches 
transporting Northern visitors to and from the Springs by means that are in 
keeping with this progressive age.
Then we’ll come in on the home stretch and score another victory for Jackson!
