Railroad Promoter Promises Dahlonega Line to Yonah Mountain
White County must act within thirty days to back a plan led by John Martin and George Baldwin to build a Dahlonega railroad. If funded locally, the line would connect with the Lawrence survey from Belton to Dahlonega, pass near Yonah Mountain, and haul granite freight, with five cars of granite promised. A mass meeting at the courthouse was held to rally support and set the schedule.

County backs railroad line amid tense funding push
A community meeting chaired by John Martin outlines estimated costs for grading and cross ties per mile, with a ten mile segment costing about 10000 and cross ties cheaper. The plan envisions a western connection via Nacoochee Valley and mountains, soliciting county subscriptions to fund the road. A long committee of county leaders is appointed to canvass districts, aiming to raise substantial sums and secure the route with broad local support.
