 Branch from Geneva

The contract for the Geneva extension the Louisville and Nashville Railroad has been awarded to Thos. Warrington & Co.,, of this city, and 1t was stated yester- day that the work of grading the new line and erecting the trestles required would be begun at once.

The forty miles extension between Andalusia and Geneva was opened to traffic only about two or three months ago.
