DEPOT DOTS.

Cotton is being shipped from this
point at the rate of rs bales per day.
Very few persons along the line
CT railroad have availed themselves
CT the low rates offered on excur-
sion tickets to New Orleans during
Mardi Gras.
Mr.. II. A. Lasseter, who has
been acting as cotton weigher at the
depot during the present season,
left for Texas Thursday. He will
be absent several months.
Two empty cars were ordered to
Aspen Hill Tuesday, TO be loaded
with whisky. We infer from this
that John Barleyeorn lie having his
"boom," along with the rest.
Conductor Dillehay, who was sus-
pended thirty days for issuing a
stop-over check on an emigrans
ticket, has been reinstated and Is
now running a passenger train.
Agent Dunn's receipts at Pulas-
XII during the month of January, for
freight and passenger fares, aggre-
gated $4,000. This does not in
clude charges on freight forwarded,
which amount TO about 81, 900 more.
An occasional car load of mules
is shipped south, but the traffic in
these animals is not as sprightly as
II was. Cattle are coming to the
front just now, and Mr.. L. II. Nor
gan. OF Pulaski, shipped three car
loads to Louisville Friday.
We are indebted TO Mr.. o. M.
Dunn, the efficient and very APP
proachable agent of The Louisville
and Great Southern at this place,
and his faithful coadjutor, Mr.. Z.
II. Lasseter, for valuable contribu-
lions to our note book each week.
The Louisville and Great South
ern take charge of the Mobile and
Montgomery railroad March LIST,
and viii commence runnibg through
trains to Mobile on and after that
date. The schedule ON the n. and
d. division will be changed at the
same time.
Superintendent Rowland has had
"repeaters" put in at Bowling
Green, Nashville and Decatur
which enable him to get the daily
movements of trains direct from
the principal offices, instead of
going through the slow process
of having them repeated at inter
mediate stations, as heretofore.
There is quite a movement of
scrap-iron from this point. Until
recently, the comparatively trifling
value of this commodity initiated
against It's shipment by rail, but
now rates have been obtained which
make the game worth the candle.
Considerable quantities of il are
being shipped, and old pieces of
iron that were formerly thrown
away, are now worthy of preserva
ton.
The movement of through freight
from the north to the south is now
very heavy. Empty cars are in de
mand all along the line. and when
oae is available it is hurried to
Louisville without delay. Pig iron
ana tlmDer-Jocularly described by
railroaders as South and North
Perishables"-are being shipped in
large quantities to Louisville and
points further north.
The Union Express Company
will extend its route to Mobile
when the Louisville and Great
Southern takes charge OF the Mo-
bile and Mont omery. We under
stand, when this arrangement is ef-
fected, that special line of freight
cars will be put on for the purpose
of conveying southern products,
such as oysters, fruits and early
vegetables, TO northern markets. II
is also said that such facilities are
to be offered, in the shape of low
rates of transportation, as will in
duce our people TO seek this outlet
for their products
