 sELMIANs WANT BRIDGES RETAINED.
 From the following report of meeting held the Sslmians are a little displeased with the changes made by the Southern. That was an interesting meeting of Selma citizens and business men which met in the rooms Of the Protection Hook and Lad der company yesterday afternoon at 1 'clock. The meeting was well attended by the most su upstantial business men of the city. The main purpose of the meeting was to protest against tEe removal of the superintendent office of the southern railway system from Selma and to retain Capt. J. M. Bridges in that office in this city, il possible.
 char and Nat Waller, Jr., was chosen secretary. Major Wales set forth in a forcible manner the purposes of the meet ing. Speeches were made by Hon. M. J. Meyer, Gen. R. Nj. Nelson, Capt. c. w. Hooper, Bailey Green, H. c. Graham and Mayor Stewart. All the speeches bore sub stantialy to the same point, the necessity for preserving the prominence of Selma as one of the great railway centers of the south and holding the superintendent's office ofthe western division of the South ern railway here as one of the essentials. Captain Hooper's speech was specially to the point. On motion of General Nelson the following telegram was sent to Vice. T
 SELMA, Aug. 28. Superintendent Bridges is the best rail- road man in this section. You. nor we, nor Alabama can afford to lose such man from your system.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. To w. E. Waies, Chairman, Selma, Ala.
 Your message received. 1 agree with you, and had arranged to give Superin- tendent Bridges other service. The new division of territory makes it necessary to put the superintendent at another point. i write you today. w. H. BALDWIN, Jr.
 DOING GOOD COLONIZATION WORK.
 The Mobile and Ohio has been very ac- tivily at work on lmmigratioc for the past summer months, which resulted in the general passenger agent inducing some forty seven home seekers and capitalists to visit Mississippi and Alabama on the mid August home seekers excursion, and one prominent Iowa party purchased 5000 acre tract (taking option also upon 3700 acres adjoining), upon which to establish an Iowa colony. If the Mobile and Ohio is not so long or in as good inanciaI condi- ton as some other roads, it certainly does it's best in working up and settling col onists in Alabama.
