WELL EARNED PROMOTION.

MT. w. N. Clark the recently appoint cd master of trains of the Alabama Great Southern, earned his present distinction by steady application to his employers business. In every position to which he has been assigned he has proved himself eminently competent. His stages of pro- motion were casually learned by State Herald reporter and they are worthy objects of emulation. as well as news of interest to railroad men.
 MT. Clark began at the bottom. He went to work as a brakeman on the Ohio and Mississippi railroad. Soon afterward he became a fireman, and after serving d regular term he was examined and given an engine on the same road. Afterwards he was promoted to engineer of a passen- ger engine. In short time he was ap- pointed master of engines. which posi- ton he efficiently held until he received the more lucrative and responsible ap- pointment of master of trains of the Ala bama Great Southern.

NashvilIe's Exposition Postponed.

Nashville, Jan. 24-The board of di- rectors of the Tennessee Centennial and International exposition today voted to postpone the opening of the fair from September l, 1896, to May l, 1897. The exposition is planned to celebrate the Tooth anniversary of the state, and as the state was admitted June l, 1796, June 1, 1S96. Is the anniversary. But the enter prise has grown to such proportions that the directory decided that the exposition could not be completed this year. Politl- cal business and internal tional distur- bances, they say, make this year bad one for a great industrial exposition. Un- der the decision of the directors the ex- position will open May l, 1897, and con- tinue six months. to November 1. There will be no let-up in the work at the grounds. Six huge buildings, having ap aggregate floor space of over 400, ,000 square feet are in course of erection, and the contracts for six more will be let
 within the next two months. The action of the directors will be acted upon by the stockholders two weeks from today.
