RAILROADS TO BUILD
DEPOT AT UNION CITY
Will Use Old Structure for the Next
Two Years.

Nashville, Tenn, May 10.-An
agreement was reached to-day be-
tween the representatives of Union
City and the Mobile & Ohio and
Nashville, Chattanooga & st. Louis
railways whereby the companies will
be allowed to maintain the depot at
Union City at its present location
for the next two years. In the mean
time the company is to erect new
depot north of the street that is to
run through the now condemned
depot. The public utilities commits
sion, before whom the matter was to
have been heard Monday, entered
the agreed decree in accordance with
the agreement of the parties. In the
agreement the railway companies
agree that they will waive any claim
for damages and also that the sec
tion of the street not occupied by the
depot be opened at once. They will
vacate the present site at the end of
the two years SO that the proposed
street may take its regular course
through the space now occupied by
the depot.
This matter has been hard fought
by the railway companies, who
claimed that it would greatly in
them to move the depot |
on account of the changes that will
be necessary in their trackage. How
ever, they will construct the new
depot within the time prescribed |
and allow the city to open the
street through that place.
The city was represented by At
torneys Pierce & Fry and Mayor
Pittman, the Mobile & Ohio by At
torney Carl Fox and the Nashville,

VICTORY MEDAL
Will Be ISSUED
MEDALS OF THREE VARIETIES
TO BE ISSUED FOR HOME, FOR
EIGN OR BATTLE SERVICE.

The recruiting officer for the dis
trict of Alabama which includes Pen
sacola, Florida and the counties west
Iof the Apalachicola river, has been
directed by the war department to
commence the distribution of the vic
tory medal to all those entitled to it
who served in the world war between
April 6. 1917 and Armistice Day, No
vember II, 1918. The medal which
will be issued gratis, is of beautifully
toned bronze and was designed by the
celebrated American sculptor James
Earle Fraser, under the supervision
Of the commission of fine arts.
In addition to the medal there has
has been designed thirteen combat or
major operation clasps and a defensive
sector clisp which go on the ribbon
with the medal, also five oversee
clasps. The discharge given to each
officer and soldier on his separation
from the service show the operations
in which he was engaged or the de-
fensive sector held and will determine
the number of clasps issued with each
medal.
Owing to the different classes of
medals it has been found necessary
to divide them into three different
phases; a medal assembled without
any clasps for troops serving in the
United States only between April g.
1917 and November III, 1918; a medal
assembled containing one service clasp
for troops serving overseas and not
entitled to a battle clasp; medal as
sembled carrying the different battle
clasps representing each major opera
;,, oh, of tow
participated. The battle clasps are
according to date Of battle. In the
event an officer or soldier entitled to
this medal was killed in action or has
since died the medal will be issued to
his nearest kin, who will make appli-,
cation on the prescribed forms obtain
able from the local recruiting station.
All officers and soldiers will make
application on the forms prescribed
by the adjutant general of the army,
to the nearest post, camp or station,
or any recruiting officer. A supply
of these forms are on hand at the To-
cal army recruiting station and those
bringing their original discharge GER
tificate to the local. recruiting office
can fill out the necessary form. leaving
th0r dScnarge IN the custody OF the
sergeant until an officer from the main
recruiting station at Birmingham ar
rives here to make the necessary no
tations on the original discharge when
it will be returned to the applicant
either by mail or in person as he de-
sires.
The recruiting officers are charged 4
with the duty of deciding the class of
medal and the number of battle clasps

If suitable timber can be secured, it

manufacturing fruit crates, boxes,
hampers, etc.
