be accounted for by three rea-

different condition will come to

Mr.. Russell, from Beardstowu.
will become the official head of

said to be an all.round railroad
man. Indeed. he viii have an
opportunity to demonstrate

the path anything but a rosy
one.
However, he will be given
more force. Trainmaster W.

ductor e. ID. Dabney will be
made trainmaster. This will
make it possible for the train

bear some of the burdens here
