It is reported that the Belen cutoff, built by the Santa Fe to connect the Pecos Valley road with the Coast Lines will be opened for through traffic about January 10th. As yet it has not been learned just what trains will be sent over the new line, but it is thought that for the time being it will be mostly freight trains, the through pas senger trains continuing to use the old line over the Raton mountains. Eventually, how ever, it is probable that at least one of the overland trains will be routed via the cut off. While the new route makes very little saving in distance between Chi cago and Los Angeles the elimi- nation of the heavy grade over Raton range will more than com pensate the expense of building the new connecting line while it is expected that a considerable saving in time will also be the re- suit over the route through a more level country.

FLOURNOY LINEAGE AND COAT
OE ARMS.

The 1imes-Democrat of 18TH inst,
contains the unbroken lineage of the
Flournoy family, from the massacre of
the Protestants at Vassy in 1862, in
which the Flourfloys were early suf-
ferers for their religion, to the present
time. AS the information it contains
closely concerns the descendants of the
family i'll our city. twenty-four of whom
are members of the Pelican Chapter D.
A. r. we make some extracts of special
interest. The name is French and
from the words ''heur" and "noix~ and
the coat of arms is play on the name
1.-The flower of the walnut is the lit
ercl translation of the name. The arms
are blazoned: Azure, chevron argent,
in chief, two chains of walnut flowers
in pale, walnut of the sam color
Motto: Ex fore fruetno-"From the
flower fruit Sincerity. truth, loyalty,
peace, JOY and protection are all SYM
bolized by this coat of arms.
Every Flournoy in America is descend
ed from Laurent Flournoy and his
wife, Gabriel Mellin. Laurent was a
lapidary and his sons followed the same
trade. The name Flournoy is not COM
mon, either in this country or in Ell
rope, but those who can claim Flournoy
lineage, if not the name ARE found in
every State in the Union. From Nir-
ginia the family went farther south te
Kentucky and Tennessee, and now ev-
cry State without doubt has its branch
of the family. Flournoy is the name OF
a postofice in Louisiana and of street
in Chicago. Some of the family of Ten
nessee were pioneers in Louisiana The
Flournoys of Kentucky are descendants
of Samuel, son of the immigrant, Jear
jacques Samuel married Elizabeth Har
ris These are the ancestors also of tbs
Louisiana branch and from whom the
members Of the Pelican Chapter ID. A
