 New Railroads for Anniston.
 Just at this time Anniston is very much elated at the prospect of securing in- creased railroad facilities. There is no doubt that the proposed twenty-five mile extension of the Louisville and Nash vile into the coal fields beyond Attalla will soon be constructed and this will give to Anniston an abundant coal sup ply at a much lower rate than she is now able to obtain. And there is strong movement on foot to have the Central of Georgia Railway extend it's line from Roanoke to Anniston, a dis tance of only forty miles, through rich, and as yet undeveloped part of Ran dolph, Clay and Cleburne counties. This will afford Anniston direct route to the Atlantic coast and open up a section of country which will contribute liberally to >> the mercantile and manufacturing inter- ests of this city, and afford Anniston ex- traordinary advantages as a railroad cen ter.
