Improvements on the Union Depot

We are informed by Mr.. W. s.
Thompson, the clever agent OF the
Mobile and Ohio, that the Union de-
pot is 500 to be enlarged and re-
modelled by the joint work of that
road ard the Frisco line. The railroad
commission has issued it's order to
do this work and they will proceed
Immediately to doit. This depot was
built II lew years ago to accommodate
the travel OF that time; but the roads
did not take into consideration the in
creased travel that has accrued from the
great growth of the city. A new re-
ception room for ladies will be added
and other improvements will be made.
A regular Baggage master will be put
on and 4 porter will be added, who
will be on hand at all hours. This will
go lar towards satisfying the patrons
OF the two great tho. oughfares, but if
the city continues to increase as it is
doing now additional facilities will
soon be needed.
