 meat.

President wickersham, Superintend- ent Cox and Roadmaster Nelson. of the Western, went over the A. and w. F. division inspecting the road between ntlant1 At and West Point yesterday. The principal object of the trip was to see about the preIiminaries of the new $25.o0o depot that will be erected at that place.
 There has been some objection on the part of the West Point stockholders of the road and some of the citizens of that town towards the tearing down of the present old car-shed and out-of- date depot. It is said that in the orig inai charter of the Atlanta and West Point road the present car shed was called for. having been built in the early sos.
 It is historic old structure. having been fired on repeatedly by the Fed eral forces during the war between the States. The top is punctured in places by cannon shots and altogether 1t looks rather diiaptdated. The top was of brick, and a few years ago the West iern people had to repair it with lattice work. the brick with which the top was built threatening to fall to pieces and being dangerouG
