Immense Shark Caught.

Trainmen on the Southern running be- catch of an immense shark in the Tom bigbee river just beyond Demopolis few days ago by Bridgekeeper Jack Phil lips. few days ago some boys while going to bait d trotllne run by Mr. Phil lips ran the boat on the back of what is supposed to be the same shark and were turned over. A big fish was swimming around in shallow water eating the fish off the trotline and the boys were on him before they knew it. A line was set for him and he was caught.
 So big was the fish that the line was attached to the engine of a freight train as it was passing over the bridge and in that way the monster was pulled upon tho bank He was over eight feet long and weighed about 300 pounds.

 Depot Improvements.
 In comparison to its former state the Selma union passenger station these nights is as was the primal morn ing of existence when the Creator with thunderous tones commanded: Let there Be Light and there was light
 For some time the necessity for more lights at the union passenger station have been needed. One S2-candle power electric light has been doing duty in the large waiting room and the public compelled to wait for trains have been enabled to read only by sitting directly under the swinging light. Realizing that more lights were necessary for the comfort of the travelling public. Superintendent J. H. Stanfield gave the order for new chan deliers for the waiting rooms and the installation of twenty or thirty additional globes around the station. The result has been exceedingly gratifying and now the public is called to the station at night find things sufficiently lighted to give comfort and convenience.
 The Southern Is showing quite com mendable disposition to pay more atten- tion to the comforts of its patrons in this section and this is an improvement badly needed. New equipment has been put on all trains and there Is little cause to complain from such sources. Super intendent Stanfied has given orders for more dillieence in keeping cleanly the union station and for this, too he de- serves the praise of the travelling public There is just other main improve ment rooessary and that ought to come soon. This Is provision for protecting th@ passengers from rain. The present little shed Is practically useless except for transferring from one train to another and In d hard rain the protection then is not very great.
 The installation of the lights is move towards still more convenience.
