ImprOyed Facilities.

The Alexandra Fertilizer and Cheml-
cal Company has entered its busy sea-
son, and heavy shipments are now being
made, especially over the Southern Rail-
way and its numerous branches. The
managers of the fertilizer company say
the railroad company, through its local
officials, are handling their goods with
dispatch, and that the facilities for trans
portation have improved marvelously OF
late. 1t was feared that the army
maneuyres occurring spontaneously with
the fertilizer season, would render
it impossible for the railroad officials to
promptly meet all demands for the trans
portation of freight, but the managers
of the fertilizer plant have been agree
ably disappointed, as the railroad COM
pany has met promptly every requisition
made upon it. This is source of much
satisfaction to all concerned, and the
Alexandria Fertilizer and Chemical
Company, approaching this condition OF
alfairs, will soon make preparations for
the expenditure of considerable money
IN the enlargement of the works at Alex
nndria.
