A young couple was married on the E.T.V.& G. train between Macon and Atlanta the other day at the rate of forty miles an hour,  the train running at that rate.  The contracting parties were Mr. T.J. Woolfolk, of Pope’s Station, and Miss Georgia Byrd, of Jones County.

James M. Smith will build for his own use a railroad for his plantation in Oglethorpe County,
to Winterville, a distance of six miles.

Fort Valley Mirror
Page One

 
The Fort Valley Mirror has suspended its material will be moved to Oglethorpe where the Macon County Citizen, with Emmett Houser, editor, will be issued on the 25th instant.  The Mirror was established at Fort Valley in December 1871, by W.T. Christopher, who is now editor and publisher of the Montezuma Record and Alliance Advocate and the Patriot editor was then a “devil” in the office.
In the suspension of the Mirror we feel like we have lost a near relative.
