Two splendid DEPOTS
New Passenger Station is Certain to Be Built
This Year---Possibility Of New Freight
Depot and Division Offices.

The New Orleans & Northeastern
has just. completed some improve
ments on its passenger station.
The Improvement consisted of lay
ing square Of new flooring in the
negro waiting room.
When it was noised abroad that
some work was being done on the
old shack, it was feared that this
meant that it would be a long time
before work would begin on the
promised new passenger station.
The patchwork, however, was neces-
sary to keep the negroes from falling
through the floor and perhaps skin
ming their shins in which event there
might have been some physical pain
and great mental agony-and such
things are often the basis of -suits for
damages. The Northeastern didn't
propose. to be caught mapping and to
save any shin-skinning and mental
anguish" on. the part of their negro

places in the floor.

The remains of the deceased were
carried to Aberdeen over the G. &

Aberdeen is the old home of the fam

esteemed and admired for the graces
which make perfect woman, all of

ever, that actual construction work
will not begin before July 1st-which
will be after the fiscal year has end
ed. But it is almost certain that
some preliminary work will be done
before that time.
1t can be put down as settled fact
that the Northeastern will have a
handsome new passenger station ready
for business before the end of the
year, for when work does begin il
will be pushed rapidly.
More than this the Daily News
learns that it is more than probable
that a handsome new freight depot
will be built by the Northeastern on
the lot just beyond the site of the
present freight depot. And still more
lit is the opinion of railroad men thai
when the new freight depot is bull
that Hattiesburg will very likely be
made division of the road, as the
distance between Meridian and New
Orleans lis SO great that it appears
necessary to have a train dispatcher
here. There will also be other offices
in the new freight depot.
This is the opinion of a well-in
formed employee of the railroad com
pany, and ff both of these buildings
=
are constructed this year, 1t will no
only add much to Hattiesburg's ap
pearance, but long-felt need will
have been met.
