The Citizens of Reform Fear That Railroad Route May Be

Reform July 2s.-(Special.)-A corps or engineers of the Alabama, Tennessee and Northern railroad are surveying In this vicinity with a view. it is un- derstood, of extending the road north.
 No one connected with the road will give out anything as to the purpose Of the survey or the contemplated destination of the extension. Probably it is because this town wants the ex. tension that John T. Cochran. presi- dent of the railroad. has agreed to put the surveyors in the field seeking a practicable outlet from here. Yester- day the party ran a line south from town by the Lathrop-Park Lumber companys large plants, one mile east of this place. This greatly stirred the people of Reform for the building of this line, 1t is said, would annihilate the town.
