NEW DECATUR NEWS.
L. and N. Has Trouble with Some II


Ties.
New Decatur, June 27.--(SpeciaI. ~
One OF the most peculiar law suits IN
the history of railroads In the State of
Alabama is now pending in the courts
here.
1t seems that the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad has no record of
right of way through the county Of
Limestone. just across the river from
the Decaturs, and for this reason about
twenty-five different parties have
brought suit against the company for
trespass. The company filed an inG
junction against these parties in the
Chancery Court of this country.
This portion of the road Is a part OF
what Is known as the Nashville and
Decatur division and was built long be-
fore the Civil War. and at that time
vas known as the Nashville and De-
catur Railroad. 1t is today one of the
most important divisions of the Louiss
Vile and Nashville system.
1t was some years after the Civil
War before the Decatur and Montgom-
cry division OF the L. and N. was con-
structed.
Several of the departments OF the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad shops
are now working only FIVE days week
and quite a number OF men have been
laid OFF. II Is said that this was done
| on account of the slack business of
the road at this season. 1t Is said that
the road is not doing as much business
| to the worlds Fair, st. Louis. as was
expected.
II is said that these shops will be.
greatly enlarged this fall and that the
shops which are now located at Mobile.
Ala, will be moved here in toto Sew
erat of the departments of the Mobile
shops have already been moved here.
New Decatur is the most central
point on the main line OF the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad between Gin
cinnati and New Orleans and for this
reason this city is the most logical
point for the main shops Of the sys-
tenn.

One of the simplest and easiest ways
to keep clothes from crumpling ana
creasing is to use quantities of pa
per, says the Louisville Courier Jour
nal. Common tissue and wrapping pa
per are most valuable.
A roll of wrapping paper between the
folds of skirts, pad of wrapping pa
per inside the skirt, and wad OF
wrapping paper in an untitled corner
of the trunk will do wonders for the
heaviest garments. White waists
should be well padded in sleeve and
bodice with crumpled tissue paper.
Hats can be packed securely in the
middle of the trunk with clothing over
and under and about them, If care be
taken. Wrap each blossom, If there
are flowers, with a generous supply of
tissue paper. Fill each tiny nook with
the paper. Stuff the crown with hard
rolled stockings. Kerchiefs and stock
ings will help to hold the uneven
places of the hat brim up away from
the packing under the hat.
Laces and ribbons. should be rolled
with tissue paper and a pad of paper
should be fitted into each glove.
