Beginning Jan. l the railroad station
at Fort Hill will be closed except on
Sunday evening when NJ. d. White, the
local station agent will open up for pa
irons of the $50 train going south. This
is the only train stopping at Fort Hill
that is well patronizcd and as a geu-
eral thing the few persons who board
the other trains travel by mileage. 1t
has not been the custom to open the
station sunday evenings and in view Of
the number Of persons accommodated
the new arrangement will no doubt
prove as satisfactory as the old. The
trains Will stop as formerly on being

leI H. Sickles today accepted the
ofrer of Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet of

among the ragged and manned follow
ers of Lee" to pay the alleged debt of
the general, her husbands foe in the
civil war to the state of New York.
In telegram sent to General Sicllles
from Gainesville, Mrs. Longstreet said
she had telegraphed to the attorney

Gent time. The republic whose battles

serted him and left him to his fate.
Mrs. Sickles never gave him a penny.
The general is poor, but he has now
two weeks in which to raise $4,000, and
he believes he can do it. He has &C
cepted the kind offer of Mrs. Helen D.
LOngstreet, widow Of the Confederate
general, who volunteered to raise money
for Sickles among the survivors Of the
Confederate army against whom Cen
eral SicRiles bore arms in the war.
