Milledgeville Travel and local incidents in Georgia
A Nov 1 1858 dispatch notes stage routes from Madison to Eatonton and the single daily railroad train to Milledgeville with varied travel times and hotel praise. It also reports fatalities from blasting in Putnam County, a robbery of a Milledgeville driver, sudden death of trader Lovick Wirrish in Oxford, and a large cotton crop across the old black belt. The piece then argues for state funds from Western and Atlantic Railroad proceeds to aid common schools and Female Colleges, proposing a population and property based distribution to county schools, with oversight by Inferior Courts and equitable pupil funding.
