 A. G. Edwards has rendered his resigna- tlon as chief train dispatcher of the Ala bama Great Southern road to take effect at the convenience of Superintendent Era ger Mir Edwards will go with the Vest ern of Alabama at Montgomery. Shortly after Mr Wickersham assumed the presi- deney of the Western of Alabama and the Atlanta and West Point roads he offered MT. Edwards a position under him which the latter has had under consideration the past month. It was only day or two ago, however. that Mir. Edwards finally decided Ito go with the Western road. He has been with the Alabama Great Southern road for about ten years, the greater part of the time being chief train dispatcher in this city.
 MT. Edwards will probably be succeeded as chief dispatcher of the Alabama Great Southern by Robert B. Martin, at present one of the dispatchers in that office. MT. Martin has been in the local office for sev- eral years.
 Change In Schedule.
 The new schedule of the Central of Georgia Railroad goes into effect next Sunday December 30.

The changes on both the Kansas City and the Central roads will be slight They are as follows;
 No. ? for Savannah will leave at 6:30 a. m. instead of $50, as at present.
 No. from Savannah will arrive at D. m. instead of 7:9O, as at present.
 No. will leave for Savannah at 4:05 D m. instead of 2:40, as at present
 No. from Savannah will arrive at 12;SO D. m. instead of 1 D. m., as at present.
 No will connect with the Kansas City Memphis and Birmingham train, which ar- rdves here from the West at $50 a. m, and No. will connect with the Kansas City train that arrives here at 3:55 D. Passengers arriving on No. 3 at 12:30 D. m. can catch the Kansas City trains, which leaves at 1245.
 Slight changes will also occur on the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham. Only two trains will be affected. No. 5, which now arrives at 4:SO D. m.. will ar- rive at 3:55 D. m., and No. G. which now leaves for the West at 12:1O D. m., will leave at 12:45 D. m.
 Other Changes.
 The Chicago and Florida "Flyer" of the Louisville and Nashville and connecting lines will make its initial run on Sunday January IA The southbound train will ar rive here at o'clock in the morning and the northbound train will arrive few minutes before midnight. The schedule of the northbound train has not yet been nounced. Circulars announcig the changes and the new trains will probably be out in few days
 On January 14 the Southern Railway, i'm connection with the Pennsylvania, the Mo- non and the Big Four. will inaugurate a Florida special between Chicago and Jack sonville.
 A few slight changes in the arriving and departing time of Southern Railway pas senger trains will occur about the middle of January. No. 36, which now leaves at 4:40. will leave a few minutes earlier prob ably about 4:10 D. m. This change will be on account of the change in the arriving time of the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham train from the west. The Southern will continue to haul the Kansas City sleeper to Jacksonville and St. Angus tine
