Bessemer, November 22.-(Special. )--It is understood that the Alabama Great Southern railroad will remove it's freight depot from the present location at Twen- tieth street and Alabama avenue to point on Alabama avenue, between Seven- teenth and Eighteenth streets, or between the tracks of the Alabama Great South ern and the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroads. It was the intention of the company when it decided to build a new passenger station to use the pres ent depot for freight depot, but since the construction of the viaduct, which Is being erected by the company, approach ing from the northeast has progressed, it is questionable whether the tracks will be down to grade at Twentieth street. and it is the intention of the company to secure a better location just as con- venient to the railroad, but little farther removed from the business sec- ton of the city. In all probability the matter will be brought before the city council at the next meeting.

 At the regular meeting of the First Baptist church Sunday morning, $l600 was raised in very few minutes when the members were called upon to assist the CHuTCH III IuttlluS d IlOtc tiioI VIII pS due on December F. Four men gave $20O each for the fund, while six others gave $1O0 each, and the rest was sub scrihed in smaller amounts. This money was raised to pay off the second note on the Sunday school addition or annex to the church. When it was decided to build this annex $SOOO in cash was raised and notes for $400O more were issued. The first note was paid and now the money has been raised to pay the second. At present in Alabama there are nine Al Sunday schools and two of them are in the Birmingham district, they being at the Tuxedo Baptist church and the First Baptist church of this city. The local Sunday school has doubled the at tendance and members of any other Al Baptist Sunday school in the state, and for this reason claims to be the largest and most progressive Al Sunday school in the state of Alabama.
