G. w Hanlin. depot agent at this place
for the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road. has severed his connection with the
company. and will take much needed
vacation Mr.. Hanlin has been in charge
of the railroads business at this place for
twenty-six years, and there is not a bet
ter known man in the service In this
division. For about fifteen years he was
agent and operator The business having
increased considerably he was made agent
and day and night operators supplied. Up
to last year he was also agent for the
Southern Express company. Last year
this business was separated from the rail-
road business and ]. R. Rosson appointed
agent.
Mr.. Hanlin is very popular in Cullman
as well as among railroad men, and the
people hate to lose him as agent lie
has done a wonderful amount of work, in
fact a giants share, for Cullman is one
of the heaviest shipping points ON the
division and the business has had a Won
derful growth in the last few years. The
position is a very responsible one and
1t will be hard to find man who will
do the work that has been so faithfully
performed by Mr.. Hanlin. MIR. Hanlin
gives up his position next Monday and
will be succeeded by Mr. A f. Stinson,
who is at present the depot agent at Clan
ton. Mr.. Stnson is a very fine railroad
man, and is well known here, having
been agent at Blount Springs some time
ago. Mr. Hanlin has not yet decided
where and how he will spend his vaca-
ton or what business he will follow.

to railroad work after a few months

Confederate Monument at opeIika.

To the Editor OF The Age Herald:
There are many movements of the
present day which are founded on mo-
tives worthy of commentator. Patriot
ic impulses inspire to action. having in
view the alienation Of the ills to which
men are heir, while the same noble in
spiration finds its beneficent bounty fall
ing in lines along channels other than
mere personal benefit. Among the latter
we may mention the efforts OF our noble
women in erecting monuments to the
memory OF the brave boys who wore the
gray. In many of our beautiful southern
towns already these enduring shafts
rear their pinnacle to the skies. while at
other places the movement is receiving
an impetus which is encouraging.
The women of Opellka nave under
taken this work, and under the guiding
hand of Mrs. w. w. Williams it is re-
ceiving the heartiest encouragement. AL
ready a neat sum has been raised which
is but a beginning, but is so we'll founded
in the hearts Of those who have it in
hand that 1t is a surety.
1t Is merely my idea to call attention
to this movement in my home town that
l present this short notice, thinking that
doubtless it might come under the eye
of former Opeika citizens who would
deem 1t a privilege and a pleasure to
contribute to this fund.
1t is the purpose of the ladies of the
Monument association at Opelika to
erect a monument that will be in every
respect a worthy testimonial to the af-
lection in which the memory of the dead
heroes is held by the living. To this end
it is necessary that several thousand dol
lars be raised. and any contribution,
however small, will be highly appre-
ciated.
If there are any of the old Cpelllxa
people who may now be living in other
sections of the country. and who may
learn Of this movement If they desire to
become participants in so worthy a
cause, their contribution win be appre-
cated
Such funds may be sent to Mrs. W. w.
Williams, Opelika, Ala.
Thanking you for such publicity as you
may give this movement. and with best
wishes, / am,
Yours truly,
