FIND NOTE IN LONDON.
Hay Clly, Mlch.^Jan./—A wild eat
note issued for tl by a hank here In
1926, was recently picked up on a
street In London, Bnglanif. and sent
here to be redeemed, arriving yester-
dsy. Ray Ctty was lower, Begins* 3-4

wag accompanying the note, written
by William R. Miller, was turned over
lo a bank here which will redeem the
6305000 IS PAID FOR 305,000 ACRES
Lake Charles, La., Jan. 4.—Thomas
L. Meant and Leslie Symmes of San
j Francisco, yesterdsy closed t deal for
305,600 acres of overflow prairie land.
The deal Involved a cash payment of
$305,000.
The old line now In use crosses the
James river at the foot cf tho ItllU
and passes through a very restrlctca
section on Urn east, side of the ctty,
Tho bridge over ihe James, Is at a
very low rtvol. Consequently every
Southern freight and passenger train
going out of Lynchburg, north or
south bound, has to climb a very hea
vy grade.
Ry Ihe use of the new Hue which
runs through the western part ot tun
city on a much higher p'iit^e, ihe hes-
y grades, north und south of Lynch-
burn, which are now such an obsta
cle to through I raffle, will he avoided
and trains will pass through the city
without having to climb a grade ex
ceeding 40 per mile. This great Im
provement In grade and the substitu
tion of double track for the present
-tingle track ’will *<puK Jn better
handling of freight and paaaenger traf
lie over this section of the line which
is assured to prove of 'benefit to the
patrons of the SobtMrn Railway.
All the through passenger tralna of
the Routhern will be run ever tho
new line and all through freight will
also go over It. Ihe local freight
terminals, now lo use, will be main
tained and local passenger trains will
use the old line and stop at the pres
ent passenger station, f#5s being In
accordance with the wishes of tha
ptuple of LyncMMirg.
