Jasper, July 15.-(Special.) )-Jasper and the other towns on the Northern Alabama railroad are now soise to make an extra ordinary effort to induce the officials of the Southern to re-estsblish the morning passenger train on that road.
 It is pointed out that in view of the revival of business the splendid crops al- ready assured and the good cheer eld prosperity of the people the company should re-establish this doul,le daily serv- ice, which is now so much needed It the attention of the officials that this road encouraged thI people tc settle aiorg this line That it established mining, milling and merchant industries from Parish t. the Tennessee river, and plus invited the people to come and live and build up Therefore it devolves upon this road to care for these industries and these people and to thus encourage in- creased population and s'.c"eased devel- opment
 The movers for this improvement say that an Investigation of the alleged need for the re-establishment of this morning train on the Northern Alabasla by the railroad commission and mandatory or ders therefrom ought not to be required to induce the Southern to take action and do not believe this will be at all necessary, after an earnest and united appeal is made by the people directly to the official heads of the Southern, for it Is as much to the interest of this company that the sections through which the road runs should receive encouraging atten- tion as it is to any man or set of men who dwell along the line.
 With the present schedule not single morning daily can be seen by the people on it's day of publication until an even- ing hour Before the train was taken off The Age-Herald was brought to the doors of the people at reasonable morning hour and the people feel that they should still have this needful blessing.
 Walker county comes to the front this year as a producer of an abundance of Elberta and other fine varieties of peaches. Something comparatively new for the section. At this moment wagons can be seen on our public square laden with this delicious fruit and with canta- loupes and apples dispensing them in a profitable way.
 Architect Chamberlain of Birmingham is today submitting to the board of county commissioners plans for the land scape in front of the new court house. The square is to be beautified with ce- ment walks, curbing, flower beds, foun- tains and grass plats. If the plans ex- hibited are carried out this will be one of the most attractive and restful spots in all the state.
 The suggestion for a boulevard from Jasper to Birmingham is meeting with popular indorsement here. Said Rufus O'Rear this morning: "Go on with the campaign for a modern pike road from Jasper to Birmingham I am interested along this line and will do my part. Like wise will every property holder whose land it will reach. There are numerous strong towns between here and Birming- ham and each could reach an air line road with two or three miles travel pikes Its the very thing for development" And there are many like expressions.
