WITH THE RAILROADS.

James J. Farnsworth, who succeede1 l.. A. Shipm m as travelling passenger agent of the Southern with headquarters in this city, and who has made quite reputation in the railroad world, has accepted new position and the question as to who will be his successor is causing no little talk.
 Mir. Farnsworth was aipost raised, so 10 speak, in the passenger business by Col. B. w. Wrenn, and when the latter ac- copied the position of general passenger traffic manager of the Plant system it was Whispered in railroad circles that the touthern woull loose Jimmie.
 Mir. Farnsworth has more than once eld the office of assistant general passen ger agent, and when the Southern scooped in the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia he was division passenger agent in Atlanta and was moved 10 Birmingham to make room for k mond and Danville man.
 His appointment as division passenger agent ol The Plant system, with headu ters in Savannah, Ga. takes effect January 15, ou which date he will sever connections with the Southern.
 Since this young and efficient passenger agent has been in Birmingham he has made many friends. Iu his work he has been 6fficlent, and whenever there was passen- ger in sight he was after him. He is ris- ing young man and is destined to go higher in the railroad world than a division pas- eenger agent, or even an assistant general passenger agent. While his many friends here regret to see him leave, they are glad to know of his good luck.
 Upon the departure of Mir. Farnsworth the question is, Who will succeed him?' If tue public in Birmingham could have the privilege of appointng his successor the question could be easily answered, and it may be that this appointment will be made according to the wishes of tho public 0 this city. In fact, the chances are good for a Birmingham boy, who can fill the bill admirably and with satisfaction to the officials of the Southern. The parsonage n-Ierred to is none other than MT. Robert W. Smith, who is known by every man, woman and child in Birmingham.
 Mir. Smith was agent for the East Teu- nessee, Virginia and Georgia when it went into the newly organized Southern, and sipee-that time has been assistant 10 Mir. >farnsworth. Owing 10 the fact that Mir. Farnsworh has been out of the city working business most of the time, the local business has, to a considerable extent. teen looked after by Mir. Smith. He is capable of fillin z the position which will be vacated by Mfr. Farnsworth and there is not a man in railroad circles but would like to see Bob appointed to ths place. He has been highly recommended and it is to De hoped that he will be the lucky man.

TIE MISSING DEED
Which Was the Deciding Link to
 the Title
Of Over Three Hundred Thou
 sand Dollars Worth of Property Turns Up.

For about ten years litigation has been pending involving title to about eighty acres Of land on the South Highlands. About forty of the Highland homes oc- cupy this ground, and the lawyers have been busily engaged trying to unravel the troubles. number of cises are in ihe courts, one or more of them gone up 10 tue supreme court. The whole trouble was q missing deed supposed to have been given by Bagley to Brown, away back in the E0's. This was the broken link, and this the cause of all the trouble. Mrs. Brown had a suit pending for dover at the time of her death, which occurred several weeks ago.
 Several days ago MT. ". W. Brown, son of the deceased, was examining her old pa- pers, and among them discovered the long lost deed. Mir. Brown had deeded this prop erty to others, and in making the transfer the aper was written in peculiar way. It seems that one of the witnesses, Susan Brown, now Mrs. Gabert, signed her name with violet ink, which had faded out and could not be read. This caused great con- troversy.
 The consequence of this find is that parties holding under the Brown deed, which was the only missing link, have an indisputable title. The discovery involves $500 ,0,0 or s4S0 ,0O0, and qdie;s all further expense and anxiety on the subject. The Elyton Land company, Maj, E ii lPhelan and the Thomas Iron company are most largely interested in the matter.

excellent raconteur himself, Rubinstein
was rather taciturn. Once, it is report

liked very much, went home with him
one night after concert at Glasgow
Both gentlemen sat down to tea and
cigarettes, and as midnight struck
they had not yet exchanged a word.
Finally the guest risked bold and
novel query, "Do you like Beethoven ?'
Rubilstein emptied his cup and said,
softly, Beethoven good" Half al hour
later came another question, aud how
do you like Wagner ?" To which Ru-
binstein, throwing away q cigarette,
replied, "Wagner-not good" Having
exhausted his stock of inquisitiveness,
the Scotch friend of the Russian plan
list got up to bid his host a pleasant
rest. stay yet, my friend, y said Ru-
binstein Il like your conversation
very much. ~ And both remained, still
drinking lea and smoking cigarettes in
profound silence until a. IN. struck,
when they wished one another good
night and parted.
