 The deal for the Tallassee road a line seven miles in length and running be- tween Milstead on the Western railway and Tallassee, has been on for some time and the trade was practically agreed upon on April 15, at which time the road really became the property of the Birmingham and Southeastern The purchase of the Tslassee line is considepd very fortu- nate for the Birmingham and Southeast ern people as it saves them the trouble of building parallel line from Milstead to Tallassee and the expense of con structng a bridge across the Tallapoosa river As soon as the new track between Ft- Davis and Milstead, which was bad ly washed by the recent heavy rains, is repaired, a regular schedule will be put o1 ween Union Springs and Tallassee, q distance of aboutr35 miles.
