The Daily Constitution (Atlanta, Ga.)
ROUNDABOUT IN GEORGIA

The Americus Republican says:
Mr. Knowlton, of Ellaviile, a very enterprising gentleman, proposes to run a 
road engine from Americus, through Ellaville and Burna Vista, to Geneva, on 
the Muscogee road, if the citizens ofthose places will subscribe $6000.  The 
proposition is one worthy the consideration of our citizens, and we hope they 
will give it due consideration.  It will answer all the purposes of a railroad 
by carrying cotton, freight of all kinds, and passengers.  Mr. K. says he can 
afford to carry cotton to and from any of those points at 50 cents per 500 
pounds.  He guarantees it will be a success.  We have no doubt but the amount 
asked for can be easily raised.  We wish the project success.
