THE RAILROAD IS COMING

THE C. & M. COMPANY TO BUILD THE ROAD FROM MONTICELLO TO GRIFFIN, VIA. JACKSON

Capt. W. F. Smithy, of Flovilla, was in town last week taking deeds to the 
right of way for the Griffin branch of the Covington & Macon railroad.  The C. 
& M. Company are the owners of the old G. M. & M. road bed, and the captain 
says the officers of the road will build from Machen or Monticello to Griffin, 
provided the right of way can be cleared up without cost to the company.  They 
have the right of way as secured by the old company, but as their have been 
some changes in possession of lands it is thought best to have a readjustment 
of the matter before going to build the road.  The C. & M. company do not want 
to make the extension bad enough to enter into a scramble or litigation over 
the right of way, but if it can be cleared up amicably, they are ready and 
willing to build us the road.

Now is the time for us to open the way and invite them in.
