BIG RAILROAD MOVE
PURCHASE OF REAL ESTATE AN
 INDICATION.
Southern Has Secured Two Entire Blocks fin Freight and Railroad District--FulI Purpose Not
 Developed.

Something over three years ago the most gigantic railroad real estate deal that has been made in Montgomery since the old Plant System-M Mobile and Ohio deal years ago was made.
 Two entire blocks beginning at the apex of Coosa, Tallapoosa and Jefferson Streets running up Jefferson Street to the corner of Perry. down Perry to the corner of Columbus, west on Columbus to the corner of offTaIlapoosa and West along Tallapoosa to the triangular block mentioned above were bought. For a long time the entire business and railroad world of Mont gomery was completely in the dark as to the identity of the purchasers.
 The late Captain F. A. Graham, local counsel of the Mobile and Ohio, acting as agent for parties unknown had brought the big lot of property. It was naturally supposed that the Mobile and Ohio or the Southern--the same thing-had brought the property to use 1t as terminals, though nothing could be learned as to the ultimate plans. In few months. however. 1t developed unmistakably that the Mobile and Ohio had bought the property-all these years the property has been idle as far as railroad Improvements. Some days ago an ordinance was introduced in the City Council to allow the Mobile and Ohio to run tracks into this property. On Lee Street near. the corner of TaI- lapoosa the Mobile and Ohio already has a very handsome freight depot. the tracks of the Belt Line on Tallapoosa Street running from the Atlantic Coast Line shops in west Montgomery leading into the Lee Street terminals of the Mobile and Ohio. This Belt Line track along Tallapoosa Street is really a gigantic artery connecting the freight terminals of the Water Street yards of the Louisville and Nashville. the big Coosa Street yards and freight depot of the Western and running ipto the freight depot of the Coast Line on the corner of Court and Columbus Streets
 The petition of the Mobile and Ohio ordinance Is to run tracks into their property from the Belt Line tracks on south Court Street. Just what dis position they will make of the prop- erty. whether to build now terminals, remains to be seen, but railroads as n rule are not given to buying property with no definite object in view That part of the city is already a big rail- road center, the terminals of the Sea board Air Line on the corner of Perry and Columbus being at the extreme end Of the freight terminals extending from Lee Street to South Perry. This new move clinches the claim that Montgom- cry Is one of the biggest railroad centers for its size in the South.

The small boy was coming home at

and as he came through the grove he
could be heard whistling vigorously,

changed glances.

little fellow entered.
