 The Union Springs and Northern Is a very important factor In the commercial development of Union Springs, giving that town two outlets to Savannah and had one before. The road starts at Un- ion Springs and runs for nine miles through one of the richest sections of A n hl Ynn fn N4 lka s~A., nine miles from Montgomery on the Sea board Air Line. In other words the road may almost be said to form a "Y' be- tween the Central and Seaboard Air Line. and the importance of the link to the town of Union Springs and the seaboard can readily be seen.

There are seventy-slx incand es- cent lights in each car produced rom electricity generated by the axles of the car itself. When these new cars are put into the service there will be two cn the New Orleans and two on the north ern branch of tho line, and the table thing will be placed upon the a Ia carte plan 50 that people may orde' just as little and just as much as they nay want.

St. John. formerly vice.president of the Seaboard Air Line, might succeed C. M. Hays as president of the Southern Pacific. Mir. St John has been visiting friends along the Pacific coast for a month, and his presence in San Francisco has nothing to do with Southern kacitic affairs.
 It is said that the Morgan people are negotiating to buy or lease the Evans vile and Terre Haute for the Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville (Monon). he roads are not connected at present, but the building of twenty-eight miles would do all that is necessary, and in any case the Southern Indiana could be purchased all.
