That the Southern Railway undertook
to arrange g. peaceful settlement with
the Commonwealth of Virginia in the
passenger rate cases, and that other
railroads resisting the two cent order
of the Corporation Commission agreed
subsequently to the same course, were
the important facts brought out yester-
day in connection with the sudden and
satisfactory termination of a threaten
ed conflict. Along the same line it
comes from undoubted authority that
overtures iii this direction were mado

Among his other evidences OF good

he selected an Abilene girl for his

Arthur Glade, the youngest SOD D

and has shown an ability for manag-

on the high quality Of its flour that Is
exceptional. He has had full charge
OF the machinery and manufacturing
departments Of the mill for several
years. The success OF the mill de-
pends on the quality Of its flour and
Arthur Glade deserves a good deal oil
credit. The excellent -four has been
the best advertisement the mill could
possess. In his youth he had the
benefit Of his fathers teaching and
this, combined with natural instinct
for -four making, accounts for much
OF his success. He is one Of the
youngest, II not the youngest. head

ball player and his splendid work on
the Abilene team during his residence
here has made him q favorite in base
ball circles as well as in the city gen.
orally. 1t has always been consider
