Horace Baker, general manager of the Queen and Crescent route an- nounced yesterday that in the near future, probably about August 22 the Alabama Great Southern railroad will put into operation two new trains be- tween Birmingham and Chattanooga.

Two trains are now operated over the Queen and Crescent betU enn Birmingham and Chattanooga, the in coming train arriving at II a. m. and the outgoing train departing al ?, m.
 It is stated that the two hew trains will be of great benefit to Birmingham, inasmuch as persons living along the line may come Into Birmingham on one accommodation train, do their sh hopping,' and leave on the other. The new trains will also aid materially In the main tenance of fast schedules of the other trains
