we trust our citizens will petition the
Western and Atlantic Railroad authorities
to build a Reception Room tor ladies on the
vacant lot at the depot, AS it now is, the
one in the depot is crowded half the time
with colored people, and ladies have no
proper place to await trains There has
been good. deal OF complaint about this
matter. We hope new one will be
erected for the white people and the old one
be used by the colored people. Before the
war there was nice saloon on the old va
cant lot composed OF four rooms ticket of.
flee, telegraph Office, express office and re-
ception room, and there should be again.
