all right, was the verdict Wednesday
evening when the curtain dropped
on the last act. For three solid hours
uhadultrated fun had poured from the
stage in a constant stream, and the
large audience which packed the
house to the very outer doors, were
convulsed with laughter Every num-

songs and the boys never allowed the

The local hits on the old town police

persons never failed to bring down
the house. Among other jokes were
a couple on the grain bill situation.

When this construction begins, II can
be truthfully said that with the pos

Southern is to have more improvements
under way, and more men employed
on new work than any other railroad

The officers are sanguine that the

boast that the system is to be double
tracked between Washington and At
lanta by the first OF the year.
In addition to the SIS. ZOO. 900 work al
