Anniston, May 2S.-(Special)-J. A. Me l Guirk, general agent in this city, stated 1 this morning that the Southern railway wosld in all probability begin work on the construction of the new depot in this city within few weeks. He says his road is building new stations at Birmingham, Mo- | bile and Meridian, and it is his belief that Anniston is next in succession, although he says he has received no definite mo- tice to that effect. The site for the new l station, at the point of the old Georgla | Pacific depot on Fourth street, has been l surveyed, and the foundations for the oid | building thoroughly tested while the plans for the new station have been com
 pleted by the southern architect
