Nelson Tift, President. Savannah, Amejucus and Mont gomery Railway.—Office of the President, Ameiucus, Ga., June 1:1th, 1891.—General order—The Savannah, Amerieus and Montgomery railway having leased the Albany, Florida and Northern railway, first section northern division, ^ Albany to Cordele, >a., the authority of W. E. Hawkins, assistant to president, W. N. Marshall, general sup- /•uantemlent, S. C. Cooper, trearftunft'f wnd S.

E. Hawkins, Wislant to tlie president of the !S., A. * M. wva seen by a Times-Rkcoiiukk reporter yesfei- 'day awl questioned in regard to tin road's new acquisition. ■The terras of the lease he withheld, but ho lie said that the A., F. A- X. will a#w be operated as a part of the S., 21. that through rates would he made on both tho roads, the samo as if they tore one and that the same rolling stock tould be operated on both roads.. Ife aid that no extention of the A., F. & V. would be made yet awhile. The S., A. A: M. lias, however, the op tion on some splendid terminal property in Albany, which it will secure and im prove as Is necessary to meet the ob jects ia view. The A., H. & X. is to have as good facilities in Albany as any road |whieh goes there. The general Offices of tho A., F. A- X. and tho shops will he one and the same witli those of flic 8., A. A M. in Amerieus, and they will remain liesc. This acquisition is but a link in the great system which the S., A. A- M. is becoming. It will be a valuable feeder for that road. From one end of the country to the other the S., A. A M. is becoming known. The engineer in charge lias ■ notified tho oliiccrs of tlie road that track laying to Montgomery will be completed by June gO. Owing to a dc- Lyb. the shipment of some of the ma terial far tho bridge across the Chatta hoochee river that structure will uot be completed before August 1. Iiy that time all sidetracks will have been put In, the terminal facilities will be ar- rqngiAi in Montgomery, ail surfacing will have been done and the road will be toady for the large traffic ft is sure to recive. * Mr. W. E, Hawkins says that dur the coming fall tho business of the road will, he has every reason to believe, bo $10,000 per month In excess ' of what it wasdnrlng the fall of 1890. When the al most phenomenal business done during that season is considered it will be seen •t a glance how wonderful is the busi ness of the Savannah, Americas & Montgomery road, and I GASHED WITH \ KNIFE. The ■ vliieli i ’uId not he used last fall,* will be ia a condition the e«jual of that of *anv road iu the country and the >.. A. a: M. by reason of its traffic arrange ments with the G., M. A- G and the Co lumbus .Southern roads will handle an immense business from Columbus, Giifiiu and other points reached by those roads. The Savannah, Americas and Montgomery road w ill make a sur prising showing for its work during 1891.
