An Improvement.

At last the needed Improvement
has started at the depot. Through the
advice of Samuel Atkinson a line has
been drawn from the southwest cor
ner of the depot and from the tele-
graph pole south of the depot to the
track. The hotel buses, transfer
wagons, ETC., are not allowed to come
yer this line during the arrival OF
trains. Heretofore they have been
driving up to the train and raising q
big dust and negro porters yelling In
the faces of passengers, which was
anything but pleasant. The improve
ment has started and the next good
move will be to build q platform and
make the express wagon move back
and load the express on trucks. How
YER in the excitement of the i'm
provement it is hoped that the Santa
Fe will not forget the new depot.
