Heavy Grading
   The Georgia Clipper is informed that the grading through the plantation of Judge M. H. Welborn, three miles from Warrenton, on the Macon and Warrenton Railroad {a branch of the Georgia RR} is by a far the heavy grading in the State -- the excavation in one instance being forty two feet, and one of the embankments being nearly forty feet. This road when completed, will be almost an air line -- the variations between Warrenton and Sparta not exceeding a half mile. The first four miles out of Warrenton will be perfectly straight. The entire route to Sparta is under contract and the work progressing.
