morning for Eoline, to take charge
Of the station at that place. He is
succeeded here by Mr.. j. w. Pierce,
a very pleasant-mannered young
gentleman from Crawford. In con-
yersation with Mr.. w. b. Mengies,
Route Agent for the Southern FIX
press Co., that gentleman informed
us that Eoline was the garden-spot
on the Montgomery Division OF the
M. & o., and that Allan was sure in
luck to secure that appointment;
but, while Mr.. Mengies is said to be
q verv nice man, there is a decidedly
Munchausean flavor about this re-
mark of his.
Mr.. TON Cotton, the energetic and
popular book keeper and general
manager for Hopper & Bell, at De-
Kalb, was here Tuesday evening to
meet Mrs. Cotton and two children,

friends in Virginia and Pennsylva-
