The Middle Georgia & Atlanta road, from Atlanta to Milledgeville, has
just been completed. It is seventy-five miles shorter from Atlanta
to Milledgeville by this route than by any other. Over forty miles of
the line between Covington and Eatonton has no bonded debt whatever,
$450,000 of the stock being taken and paid for by Georgia people. The
ultimate destination of the line is Savannah. W. B. Thomas is general
manager.

The Atlantic & Danville, which extends from Danville across Southern
Virginia to the Seaboard, has attracted considerable interest from the
fact that a company has been organized, composed largely of bondholders
of the road, to build a line from Danville to Bristol, Tenn., to be
called the Virginia Seaboard & Western. The Atlantic & Danville is to
be sold by order of the court on April 3, and, it is expected, will be
purchased by the bondholders. The new road, if built, will be about
115 miles long and connect with the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia
system at Bristol. It would give the latter an outlet on the Atlantic
seaboard and develop much mineral property of east Tennessee and
southern Virginia, the product of which now has no means of reaching
furnaces.

The proprietors of the San Marco hotel, of St. Augustine, Fla., as one
method of entertaining their guests, allow them to pick, for use in the

mornings many of the guests may be seen before breakfast picking
radishes, peas, tomatoes, lettuce, &c., to be served at meals.

The business men of Columbia (S. C.) are talking about raising money
to build a great hotel. Since the change in the Atlantic Coast line
route, by which Columbia is put on the main line between Florida and
the North, it is thought that a big resort hotel could do a profitable
business.

The outlook for the coming season at Mountain Lake park, in Western
Maryland, is very promising. Twenty or more new cottages will be built,
