 e' ss SsSg ut Of p stssns ss s of h e %e rious roads leading to Montgomery.
 No special trains have been an- nounced by any of the local roads so far, the very complete suburban serv- Ice rendering that unnecessary.
 The only. two changes that have been announced for next week are on the Western and on the Atlantic Coast Line. The Western train No ss that now leaves Selma at 4:60 a. m. and arrives in Montgomery ct $50 a. m. will be held one hour, leaving Selma at $50 a. m. and arriving In Mont gomery at 1850 q. m. Beside that train the Western has a train from West Point. OpeIika and the stations on the line of that road, arriving in Montgorn- cry at II a. m.
 Both of these trains will do local work. and the Western officials figure that they can handle all of tho busi- ness that III be offered. extra equip- nent being added if necessary
 The Atlantic Coast Line has one through train arriving here at S:05 a. m,. and a local from Dothan arriving at 10:40 a. m. Both trains will do To- cal business and will be able to take care of all the business that offers. The Louisville and Nashville has a through train from Mobile arriving at 7:4s a. m. and local from Graceville. Geneva. etc.. arriving at 10:4s a, Tn. From the north they have local from Prattyllle at 1885 a.. Tn.. one from Bir- minEham at II a. m. The central of Georgia and the Seaboard Air Line have each only one trail. arriving in the morning. the Central train getting in at 11:l0 Q. fn., and the Seaboard st S:15 a. m. The Mobile and Ohio has no morning train into Montgomery at all. and 1t is probable that this road will put on an extra train arriving here in the morning during the weeK of che Fair.
