Marengo County Town Pushing

Linden, Dec. &.-(Special. )--There is no longer any question as to the railroad be- ing a potent factor in the development of country. Even the most skeptical would be convinced of the truth of this state. ment could he contrast Linden at present and Linden as 1t was prior to the coming of the railroad.
 The 17th of next month will be the sec ond adversary of the arrival of the first railroad train at Linden, and since that time the progress and development of the town have been something marvellous, considering the location of the town and its environment Business houses, res- idences and hotels have sprung up as # by magic almost. Already there are from fifteen to twenty business houses occupied and others in course of erection to be occupied early in January. About thirty or forty residences have been built, some of which would be a credit to much larger towns than Linden. Three new hotels have been erected, one of which has twenty-two rooms elegantly finished. three saw mills, one blaming mill and a large cotton seed oil mill are in successful operation, the oil plant having been erect ed at a cost of $75,000. The Court House, which has been recently finished at a cost of $55.000, is one of the handsomest in the State. For the further develop ment of the town there is needed good banking business. and we are assured that such business will be established as soon as the brick can be manufactured

TO MEET JANUARY g
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WILL
 CONVENE IN MONTGOMERY.
Believed That for a Primary Will be Adopted, the Election to Come Of About First
 of April.

Birmingham, Dec. 2S.-(Special)-The State Democratic Executive Committee meeting will be held in Montgomery Jan uary and while Chairman Robert Lowe will do very little talking. it Is believed that primaries will be ordered for the first of April.
 The subcommittee on plan which met a few weeks ago and formulated a primary plan. will meet & few hours ahead of the State Committee to make alterations and additions to It's report. Then the plan will be submitted to the Executive Com mittee for adoption. Such counties as have already taken steps, including Jef- ferson County, will probably arrange so that their primaries will come of at the same time and make the entire primaries one affair.
 Chairman Robert J. Lowe is still favor ing primaries for. the nominating of off, cers but it is understood that there is some opposition to the plan as made up by the subcommittee which was given in full some time since. Chairman Lowe is considered a candidate for the Chairman ship of the State Railroad Commission though he has made no public announce ment therefor.

! for erecting a suitable building. | Activity and progress have been mark | cd not only in mercantile affairs. but in educational matters as well. The Linden High School has increased in number until 1t has been found necessary to move the school from the Academy to the old court house. a large and conmodious brick building. and to add another teacher to the faculty. ,.S~'.s.s--
 The spirit for building seems to have taken possession of the citizens of Lin- den not to be abandoned. There are now three residences being rapidly hurried to completion and others are in contempia- tion. The lot for a telephone exchange building has been. selected, and one, too, for a Presbyterian house of worship, and we may expect soonl to see creditabie buildings erected upon these lots. Citi- gems are prepared to look for all sorts of such an enterprising spirit as that which has characterised some of the people of Linden during the past two years.
 With two good artesian wells, plenty Of good firewood and splendid coal to be had direct from the mines, there is no good reason why Linden should not be the banner town of the county. The new Court House with is splendid town clock. is an ornament to the county and reflects great credit to the commissioners.
 Col. W. B. Cooper sold his timber from his lands to Mir. A. W. Hawks of Ten nessee. and received a check going up into the thousands. Mir. Hawks will move here and bring with him men, teams and new machinery, to commence marketing this timber. Mir. Hawks has five years to remove 1t.
