Oppose the Scheme and Predict Central Sale Failure
Atlanta April 8 Pat Calhoun arrived from New York and predicts the Central railroad will not be sold under the hammer. He represents Alexander Brown & Co and others to buy the tripartite bonds and retire floating debt to rescue the Central system. He argues the move protects junior security holders and urges unity to save the property from wreck. He opposes the Hollins plan as unjust and insists the Central is a great property whose value depends on paying debts and securing securities.

Americus Seen Poised for Metropolitan Rise in 19th Century
A Chicago-style feature on Americus Georgia praises the city as Southwest Georgia’s commercial hub. It notes revived bank activity, industries from iron works to planing mills, growing commerce after A&M road reverses, and landmarks like the three story marble post office, Windsor hotel, and nearby towns. It recalls a 1850s bid to extend the Southwestern to Americus and closes with a murder of Jake Smith by Jim Courtney over a contested woman.

Let the Central do better or quit
The piece criticizes the current Southwestern schedule as the worst in years, noting poor connections and long waits. It cites the Macon to Albany evening train and the illogical alignment with Central's wildcat Nancy Hawks, causing delays for travelers and only two Albany arrivals daily in Americus. The author urges Central authorities to improve or abandon the service.
