the following:
That the Louisville and Nashville
railroad has absorbed and will take
over the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic railroad is the report cur
rent in Atlanta financial circles We'd
nesday. The rumor became current
some time ago, butwas not confirm
ed, nor could any of the officials OF
the A. B. & A., be reached Wednes-
day for statement on the subject.
The merger of the two roads would
undoubtedly be of advantage to the
l Louisville and Nashville, giving that
great system a new seaport terminal
at Brunswick where the A. B. 4 A.
has built a splendid system of docks
and operates line of steamers to
Northern ports.
The Louisville and Nashville
touches the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic system at Atlanta and
at Birmingham, the new road hav-
ing recently completed its trackage
into it's Alabama terminals. From
Birmingham the [. & N. would be
given straight connection with its
main line between Louisville and
New Orleans. At Atlanta it would
connect the A., B. & A. with the di-
vision of the L. & N. running be-
tween Knoxville and Atlanta. The
absorption would mean another link
in the already gigantic community
of interests which embraces the At
lantic Coast Line, Louisville and
Nashville. Nashville, Chattanooga
and St. Louis and other systems.
The Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic is Atlanta's newest road and
is looked upon as a home institution,
having been built thru the efforts OF
President Harry M. Atkinson who
interested Eastern capital, largely
that of the Old Colony Trust Com
pany of Boston, in the venture. The
system has been in the hands OF re-
ceivers for more than year, but
the receivership proceedings were
not brought thru any financial fail
ure, it was reported, but merely to
facilitate the adjustment of the fl
nances of the road. Preston 5. Ark
wright and Samuel F. ParrOtt were
named co-receivers when the re-
ownership was declared, but MIR.
Arkwright soon withdrew and Mr..
Atkinson was named in his place.
Mr.. Parrott died a few days ago and
then Mr.. Atkinson was made sole
receiver The road appears to have
a promising future and has had a
splendid volume of traffic. 1t ex-
tends from Atlanta to Fitzgerald,
where it branches, sending lines to
Thomasville, Waycross and Biz
mingham.

YOUR HOME TOWN
Next to Family and Business. IL De-
serves Your Energies.

Next to a mans family, his person.
al friends and his business, nothing
should arouse his energies in it's be-
half more thoroughly than the town
in which he lives, pertinently remarks
the Astoria Star 1t is his home. 1t is
the place in which he earns his COM
petence and educates his family. If he
wants to make it as populOus, as
thrifty and as widely known as posi-
zble, he cannot afford to be Indifferent
to anything which will further those
ends
1t can be said town that is not
worthy of the devotion of it's citizens
in making it widely and generally
prosperous is a town in which it is
not worth while to live at all. If a
town is worth anything it is worthy
of our greatest energy, whether we
receive an immediate dividend in dol
lars and cents, or whether we merely
take our share of the common bene-
munity we call home.
Everyone can be a boomer. Keep
your money at home. Patronize those
who patronize you. Spend your money
among home institutions where you
stand a good chance to get it back.
Every dollar you spend with a home
man finds its way back to your pock-
ct. A dollar spent in some other town
goes to help build up that town. A
dollar spent here goes to help build up
and you lose money by buying away
from home, even if you do get the ar
ticle for less than what it cost you at
home.
