The Columbus Enquirer-Sun
Thursday, April 9, 1903

Superior Court of Taylor County

Butler News and Notes, The Town Hopeful of Getting The
Atlantic & Birmingham R.R.

Butler, Ga., April 6-(Special)

No cases of special importance have been tried in Taylor
County Court this week.  Judge Butt called court to order
Monday morning, and has presided with his usual ability
and impartiality.  Although the weather has been bad, the
attendance upon court has been large.

Among the visiting attorneys are M.D. Sanderich, of
Thomaston, J.J. Bull of Talbotton, J.A. Noyes of Atlanta,
A.P. Persons of Talbotton, Emmett Houser, of Fort Valley,
and H.L. Bryant of Fort Valley.  Attorneys J.T. Allen of
Thomaston, and W.E. Simmons of Lawrenceville who have
been attending court, left for home this morning.

Mr. J.A. Wesson is the new agent of the Central Railway
at Butler.  He has been here some weeks, and is giving
general satisfaction to the patrons of the road at this
point.  He came here from Montezuma, where he was chief
clerk of Central.

The Seeley house is crowded this week and guests have
been favored with the usual excellent accommodations.
The many Columbus friends of Mrs. Seeley will be glad to
know that she is recovering from her lengthy illness, and
will probably be fully restored to her usual health at an
early date.  Miss Mamie Seeley, the charming daughter of
Mr. A.H. Seeley, of Howard, has been here during her
illness.

Butler is greatly in hopes of capturing the Atlantic &
Birmingham road.  The road has now been completed to
Montezuma and cars are running at its Cordele, Vienna and
Montgomery extension.  The road is headed this way and
Butler is confident of getting it.  From this point the
road will be built on to Birmingham, via LaGrange.  From
Montezuma the road will come to Butler via Oglethorpe.
