Will Fix Prices of Land.

If any person in the city owns prop erty that has been asked for by. the Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic rail road, that he has refused to consider a bid on, he had better get extremely busy as a conference is going to be held in Birmingham the latter part of this month, and the matter will be left to commission to decide the value of the property or properties in dispute. The railroad has always offered good prices for the property that they desired to buy; in fact, they have gone a little further in some cases and given just about twice the amount of the actual value of the property.
 good many people in this city have been materially benefited by the incoming of the road, and have gotten more for their property than they would ever have gotten had not road been built through their property. At the meeting which will be held, as stated above. the latter part of the month, condemnation proceedings will be instituted, and then commis- sion will be appointed to see just how much the owners should receive. In the meantime, while the proceedings are go ing on. the road will be building on the property that they were told could not be bought, and 1t remains to be seen whether or not the property owners get the best of the argument.
