TWO DISoATCHERS
IN HAT1IESBURG
New Orleans and Northeastern Road
Establishes an office in This City
to Handle Traffic.

On account of the heavy traffic
over the New Orleans and Northeast
ern railroad since the Louisville and
Nashville road has been running its
passenger trains from Hattiesburg to
New Orleans over the Queen and Cres-
cent lines, officials of that company
have found it necessary to put on duty
two additional train dispatchers, and
the new Northeastern depot.
While this extra office was estab
lished as a consequence of the addi
tional business caused by the ar
rangement with the Louisville and
Nashville, Superintendent Flanagan,
who was in the city Tuesday, stated
that it was altogether probable that
these men would be held here and
the office maintained for at least six
months.
fNSNhI ~ W. ilaooNii 10 VI
the opinion that if the traffic on the
Northeastern continues as heavy as
at present, the business of that road
alone, after the l.. &. N. trains have
been taken off, would justify the main
tenance of the office.
The local dispatchers office is at
present handling about thirty-five reg,
ular trains daily, and it is altogether
probable that more will be necessary
to handle the rapidly increasing busi
ness of the road.
Should this be the case, it is more
than likely that the local office will be
made permanent, although no intima
tion of such intention has been given
out by the officials.

ness of hustling Hattiesburg, Magic

Citizens of Hattesburg who look be-
yond the present day see in the build
ing and opening of this splendid new
station much more than a mere adorn-
ment to the city. They see in the cree.
tion of this handsome and commodious
structure at cost of $150,000, the
confidence of the officials and pro-
moters of a great railroad system "a
the future of Hattiesburg. They real
ize that men who invest this large

peradventure of doubt.
