Florence, March 11.-(Special)-Postmas ter F. G. Lambeth has received from the post office department a general order au- thorizing him to inaugurate the mail schedule on the Northern Alabama railway from this city to Birmingham. He has not yet received the special order setting the date for the new service to begin, but it
 will be not later than the first of April.
 The mail clerk on this road who has here tofore stopped at Sheffield, causing the mall from Birmingham and the south to lay over there until the following morning, will now come to Florence, and will start from ithis place every morning at g o'clock. This city has been the terminus of the Northern Alabama road for several months, and bus mess men, appreciating the value of better mail facilities with the south have been af-
 ter the schedule with the result that the department has granted the repeated re- quest made for its establishment. The Age Herald will now reach here on the day of publication instead of twenty-eight hours after it comes from the press. The people here hope for the establishment of the talk ed of double daily service between Florence and Birmingham, which will put the Age Herald in here at Il o'clock in the morning.
