COUNTRY OPENED BY
CLAY COUNTY ROAD
'PoSSUMS ARE STAPLES IN MAR
KETS OF TALLADEGA-ONE MAN
DISPOSES OF A WAGONLoAD IN
SHORT ORDER.

Talladega, December 20.-(Special)-The
recent extension of the Atlanta, Birning-
ham and Atlantic road from Talladega to
Ashland, Clay county, has opened up a
rich territory, and offers a nearby mar
ket for chickens, eggs, butter and pro-
duce of all kinds Heretofore the Clay
county trader made long journeys IN an
OK wagon. On his arrival he put up in the
wagon yard, spending the night in Talla-
dega, seeing the sights of this metropolis,
or it's seamy side usually-seldom If ever
calling on the pastors of any of the
churches or visiting the Y. NJ. c. A.
or the prayer meeting. Now he can ship
his produce on a freight train or by eX-
press, trade for several hours in the city
and reach home the same day in abund-
ant time to feed the stock. The one Sc
rious objection the Clay man has to the
road is the fact that it is abnormally
crooked. They say it is SO crooked that to
get the engine around the curves they
have to use a hinge on the boiler. A
drummer in the store of an Ashland mer-
chant, spying several coops of beautiful
small chickens asked: why don't you
shin those fryers to Talladega and sell
them there? Everybody wants flyers in
Talladega."
'Huhn, said the Ashland man, ''the
rocks on the curves of the railroad would
knock every feather off them chickens
before they got half way, and they'd be
grown hens long before the whistle
blowed for the city limits"

There was a small freight wreck on the
Louisville and Nashville railroad between
Sycamore and Sylacauga which delayed

ing impossible to get the passenger trains
past the wreck.

and licked their chops all day. The price
asked was 30 cents for the biggest and

BY nightfall the owner of the wagon had
sold out the load.
