tributed towards purchasing the site.
The city council granted the request
for the exemption of taxes, which
was appreciated
Another accomplishment of the
present year was the securing of a
satisfactory schedule of the Southern
Railway. Your president carried on
a correspondence over a period of
one year, and held conferences with
leading railroad officials of that road.
All realized the necessity of a change
and promised relief, but it was never
forthcoming. The services went from
bad to worse, and we filed a petition
ing for another train. Right after
this, three of the officials came to our
city, and made a proposition which
would give us one through train a
day from Birmingham, arriving at
600 in the evening, and agreed to
put on local train between Winora
and Greenville, arriving here at 10
a. m. This proposition was agreed
tc by all except two of our special
committee Thew waited ON these
gentlemen and as we were divided on
the subject, we held a special meet
ing for all of the citizens on the 18th
of October, last, and it was decided
that the league should carry ON j
fight and not accept the compromise
Your committee consisting of
Messrs. Chas Halter, J. NJ Robert
shaw, Secretary VIM. Ray Toombs and
your president, were instructed to-
appear before the railroad commits
sion and press the matter. The re-
suit was that we kept the through
trains and got the local from Wi
mona which went OH on the goth OF
October. This has proven a great
benefit and value to the citizens re-
siding along this road, and source
OF large revenue to our merchants.

hope that they will now be just as
jealous in assisting to procure pro-
per drainage for our city. We are
noted for our fine streets and side
walks; for our excellent water and
! sewerage system, but when these are
mentioned it is also brought out that
our surface drainage is very un-
healthy. Our city council has given
this question considerable t!1oughr

to authorize them to issue bonds Tor
this purpose. We must realize that
