The A. B. & A. will push the
work Oh the Tampa Northern with

from one who is supposed to know

come as pleasant news to the peo-
pie of this city and those connect

assurance that goes without saying
that the man who did the talking
knew what he was saying. TIE A.

the road and in next few months a
tremendous effort will be made to
get the line finished to brownsville

The people of Thomasville were
informed that the work would be

that time never been verified. Mr..
Porter, the A. B. & A. agent at
this place can give no information
upon this topic and so stated to a
