forty bananas, a bag of parched pea nuts, two dozen raw oysters. an oyster stew, forty eight fried eggs, a large steak and gravy. three loaves of bread and drank eight cups of strong eonee. Some doubt as to the accuracy of this last statement. as published in local papers, has been expressed by persons who were not present at the eatfest, but there Is no doubt In the minds Of more than a dozen reputable citlsens of the town who stood wonderingly by and Watched Clark at work, and any one of them will make affidavit In the matter. The man's performance was startling one, but he seemed 70 tnink i1. 1t nothing out Of the ordinary, and in- formed bystanders that as an eater he was nothing to compare with a brother who lived with him. '1'll bring him in some time and show you how man can eat when he gets hungry" said Clark.
 There seems to have been something definite, after all. in the visit to Dothan of a party of Atlantic Coast Line ofh- cIals, as they are said to have stated positively that work will soon begin on a new passenger depot st the foot of St. Andrews street It has been known for some time that the oficials of this road had the matter of new depot
 under consideration, and 1t Is joyful news 10 the LOWH lAdk OAAr AS 0C0h Np
 bs erected, as it has been badly needed for. To, these many years. In the party which visited Dothan were w N. Roy all general manager. of Wilmington.
 Chief Engineer E. B. Pieasants, of Will
 mington. Morton Riddle, general super
 intendent, of Savannah, and Division Superintendent W. B Beauprie. of Mont
 gomery. With them. 1t Is said, they
 brought blue prints of the new depot
 it is proposed to build.
 The town Is intensely interested In the project to secure government
 building for Dothan, and the monster
 petition addressed to Congressman Henry D. Clayton regarding the matter has been forwarded to him. Mir. Clay | ton himself seems greatly interested, | and it is believed here that he will use every legitimate endeavor in the prem ises. Dothan has a population of 1000, | and is growing like Jonah's gourd. The | present postofhce is situated in one- | story brick building, which ts rented, | and it is felt here that better accommo- dations are deserved.
 W. R. McKe enzie will in all probabili- ty begin within the next few days the erection of a two or three story brick | building on the site of the small build ! ing at present occupied by the Dothan Bottling Works. The demand for va- cant business houses here continues ! great. and up until the present time has | not been adequately supplied.
 The Dothan public library is now comfortably installed in its new quart | CTS in the county court house, where | permission was recently granted 1t to
 move by the board of county commis- | Sioners.
 | Harry Martin, of Ozark. candidate for congress in opposition to Hon | Henry D. Clayton. of Eufaula, wat
 here Friday and Saturday, Mir, Martin | continues hopeful in his view of tn,
 situation. and the fact that appearance,
 are greatly against his chances of sue
 cess in the race does not seem to mak,
 him pessimistic. It Is believed her,
 that MT Clayton will sweep every coun
 ty in the district with the utmost Q
 ease, but Mir. Martin thinks that hi
 chances of defeating the gentleman
 from Eufaula are excellent.
