Southern railway to double track Washington to Atlanta line
The Southern railway plans major line improvements between Washington and Atlanta to cut travel distance by about 25 to 30 miles and ultimately double track the route. Upgrades include reducing curves, rebuilding culverts and bridges, and extending double tracks first where most needed, with gradual implementation. The Greensboro to Salisbury and Charlottesville to Washington segments are slated for early double tracking, followed by completion toward Charlotte and Atlanta.

Trial over McEntyre case unsettles Georgia homestead law
The Dalton County case involving J W L Pratt and three minor children against H Lynch and L J Daniel centers on a fractional interest in property at Auburn Avenue and Randolph Street. The question is whether Mrs McIntyre’s reinvestment of sale proceeds kept the Georgia homestead valid at the time of levy. The trial, before Judge Lumpkin, may decide if the sheriffs deed was void or if the levy was excessive. The matter dates back to 1982 and has spanned Fulton and Dalton counties with witnesses to be called today.
