FLORALLA'S FUTURE
EXTENSION OF L. & N. BEING
 CONSTRUCTED.
New Road is to Run Through the Trackless Forests of Southeast Alabama Rich in
 Lumber.

Way down through the vast stretches or the famous timber region of Ala bama-where lies the border land of the Land of Flowers-there nestles all hid den little town by the name of Floralla. One half of this town Is in Alabama and the other half in Florida, hence the name Flo" for the Florida half and "Alla" for the Alabama half While utterly unknown to fame and the outside world heretofore this little town of Floralla is destined before many months to get quite chesty, put on metropolitan airs and leap with one bound into the prominence of an important railroad center.
 From the little town of Opp, a station on the Geneva or properly speaking Ala bama and Florida extension of the Louis vile and Nashville, a branch is being built through the trackless forests. For twenty-three miles this line will be built the terminus being the town of Floralla From the little station of Crestview on the line of the Pensacola division Of the Louisville and Nashville railroad runs for a distance of twenty-six miles to the town of Floralla. This road is known as the Yellow River Railroad. and While It meets the Opp extension of the Louisville and Nashville at present this Is all that will be between the two lines-What Will develop in the future remains to be seen. Running through the town of Dothan the Central Railroad has an extension called the .Chattahoochie and Gulf Railroad Company, the extension terminating at Sellersville in Geneva County and just north of the town of Geneva. Monday afternoon in Savannah the directors of the Chattahoochee and Gulf held meet ing and decided on the extension of the road from Sellersville to Floralla, dis tance of twenty-four miles. The survey has already been made and the work of extension will, it is understood, begin very soon. The Central people will have the same connection at Fioralla with the Yel- low River road that the Louisville and Nashville people have, but it is under stood that there will be an alliance be- tween the Central and Yellow River by which the former road will get another port-Pensacola.
 Roadmaster Shields of the Mobile and Montgomery division of the Louisville and Nashville began work of track laying Trou, the Floralla end of the line yester- dav morning and the program is to have inc entire twenty-three miles completed hv the 1st of February 1903. This branch will be a part of the Mobile ana Mont gomery and will give superintendent Nc T;rnev lust 300 miles-and he may nave a good many more miles when the At Iantic Coast Line-Louiscille ana NASH ,,iile muddIe is strengthened out.

novel purpose. He is entering upon tns work of changing the name Of the eirea,
 Rock Island Route" to The ROCK lsidhd
 System," over the entire property or that company. At first glance such an unoe.- taking would not seem 50 very great
 but only a moments thought is neces-
 sary to SC that it will take long tune
 to accomplish the object and that tne
 cost will be up in the thousands.
 When the railroad consisted of only lso
 miles of ill-laid track, all running in one State. the name The Rock Island Route"
 was adopted and for many years served its purpose bringing fame to the little terminal point which is now only way station on the great system. But when that road grew into a powerful organi- zation, with nearly 1000 miles of track | the name was not comprehensive enough | and a few weeks ago the edict went forth | that hereafter "The Rock Island System" would replace the old trade mark. That little order meant that every | piece of stationery in Hundreds of of- fees, window signs. literature. advertise | ing matter, box-car names and dozens of other accessories of the system would | have to undergo a change as soon as pos sible. The master painted has only a part | of the work to do. He must transform the name on the win lows and doors of the
 offices and on signs at stations and or | the billboards.
 | Today he will begin work at the West l ern terminals of the line and transform | the name at Denver and Colorado Springs | and then he will work his way East, stop | ping at every small station and every | billboard.
 The corporation trade mark is made tt | embrace all the various lines which have | recently come under the dominion of tn: l Rock Island and the change was mad
 much of a necessity by the manifold
 names which should be so much moro | easily used under one title.

CIRCUS ARRIVES
MAINS SHOW HERE FOR TWO
 PERFORMANCES.
Circus Will Give Two Performances on Goode Street Grounds-Parade Will Take Place at 10
 O'clock.

At 3:3O o'clock this morning Mains clr- GUS, loaded on forty-six cars, pulled into Montgomery.
 Time was in Montgomery when the ad- vent of a circus to the city was Just and sufficient cause for every youngster and a big delegation of the older citi- zens cf the city, to go to the depot at any hour to see the circus tram pull Tn. But this morning the elephants and the camels had no audience to watch as they sedately stumbled down the gang plank from tfe cars, the roarings of the beasts sent no tremo-s of fear in any heart, for the small boy was absent
 Mains circus is a big show and as the cars pulled in 1t was proven to be one well systematized. The train came in two sections, the last one being sched- uled to arrive shortly after o'clock. The train came over the Western Rail- road from Opelika, where the circus held forth yesterday.
 No sooner had the cars come to standstll than a gang of sleepy-looklne men filed out of the train. They looked sIeenv. but their action was wide-awake Under the direction of boss the cars were unloaded with the greatest rapidity the heavy tenting was rolled out, poles and stakes were rapidly thrown to their assigned places on the ground, with the grind of machinery. the cages, so daz- zling in the parade, but covered with can yass, were let down from the cars, the live stock the big white circus horses, the hand wagons. the seats, the banners, and all the necessaries for an up-to-date cir GUS were placed on terra flrTna.
 At 10 o'clock today the grand street narade will take place. Mains circus boasts of this parade. and 1t is said that if is A really magnificent affair.
 TWO performances will be given today, the matinee starting promptly at o'clock, inc doors being open an hour earlier. The night performance will begin at o'clock.
 The Goods Street grounds will be used hv inc circus.

Edgar saltus comments on the fact that Miss Hallie Rives, the historical novelist, "sits down to her work when inspired and in that condition does her dramatic scims in red ink and her pas torals in. green" He says:
 Tn the circumstances we may perhaps be permitted to wonder why, with inspi- ration and other incidentals at com mand, this gentlewoman should sit down to her work The custom is, of course a common one. But 1t is not universal Diogenes composed in his tub; Poe in his cups; Caesar in the battlefield; Johnson In a rage; Cervantes in prison; Byron on horseback; Baudelaire on trapeze' while Marie Corellis latest gem was thrown off in a morgue. These are stand ard examples. Yet, barring Miss Corellfs s. they are ancient. Nowadays and herea- bouts, they would seem fastidious. In the local rush of copy there Is no time for such voluptuousness. Journalists, for instance, write in any attitude the city editor may wish. But among authors of repute, we have noticed a growing ten dency to stand up and dictate, and that we take it, must be the proper thing"
