The local railroad companies have re- ceiyed the tariffs for the Birmingham reunion and jubilee, which are in effect throughout the southeastern territory Mo- vember 21 and 22. The rates are very low and seem to have been drafted with a view of giving everyone a chance to pav Birmingham a visit next week. The rates apply for the two days above men tioned with a final limit to November 2b. and all those who come to Birming- ham should bear in mind that these tickets must be validated before they will be good for return passage.
 Principally the rates are one-Way fares for the round trip, but to many places the rates are even cheaper Some railroad men here claim that the tariffs issued to old soldiers are the lowest is- sued to any class of people. And as the jubilee comes in at that time those who are not old heroes will have 8 chance of coming to Birmingham at nrice within the reach of all" In glancing over a tariff the regular rste to Mobile one way Is $69o. To the reunion and jubilee the rate is S5.so fol the round trip.
