A number of officials OF the Southern
Railway company will be present at the
called meeting of the Ensley club when
the discussion of a new station for Ems
ley will be begun, at tire inferior court
room Tuesday night. The club members
fully determined to secure the new sta
ton will attend the meeting in a body.
1t has been stated by members that Ems
ley shall have new station If the club
as a whole has to go before the railroad
commission.
Owing to the steady growth OF the town
the present station which was built Is
years ago, is unable to provide space
for the great number of people who are
forced to spend several hours waiting
for trains. The inability of the building
to provide comfortably for travellers is
said to be felt keenly by members of
the Ensley club. In their opinion the
Southern railway makes enough money
from Ensey alone to be able to replace
the small wooden building now used,
with a new brick or stone one, whose size
will be in proportion to the town.
An automobile belonging to John Will
cox was stolen from in front of the main
entrance of the Ensley High school,

. o'clock its disappearance was noted
and Mr.. Wilcox notified the police de-
partment. They discovered partly de-
