Union Passenger Station
and Freight Depot to be
Erected Next Year.
The News is informed—and the
information comes from a reliable
source and seems to be authentic—
that the West Point and Central
railroads will unite in building a
union passenger station at the rail
road junction next year, the build
ing to cost $30,000. It is said the
West Point will own two-thirds
and the Central one-third interest
in this handsome structure.
In case the passenger station
materializes it is supposed the

Anslem Leigh, father-in
Colonel P. II. Brewster, dropped |
dead yesterday afternoon at 4:301
o’clock while running to catch a
train with his grandson, Howell
Brewster, at the Georgia railroad
depot.
Five minutes before he died Mr.
Leigh was in perfect health, al
though he was 82 years of age.
About 3 o’clock he left the home
of Colonel Brewster, in College
Park, to accompany his grandson,
Howell Brewster, to Atlanta,where
the latter was to take the train to
Oxford, Ga. On reaching the city
Mr. Leigh and Mr. Brewster took
up some time in attending to per
sonal matters, and on reaching the
depot they found the train just
pulling out. Mr. Leigh ran only
a few yards in the attempt to over
take the train, when he fell dead.
The unexpected death of Mr.
Leigh will cause widespread sor
row. He had hundreds of friends
all over the State, and possessed
the esteem and respect of all who
knew him. He had resided for
several years in College Park, with
his son in law, Colonel P. H.
Brewster, of the law firm of Dor

Bowden-Allgood.
The Troubles of “Central.”
“The Mother of a Telephone
Girl” writes to remind those of us
who may happen to be of an im
patient, hysterical or unreasonably
fault-finding turn that telephone
girls have feelings.
Some of the protests of this
mother of a telephone girl are time
ly. The truth of the matter is
that most of us have come to look
upon “Central” as a purely im
personal individual. The tele
phone itself is a mechanical ap
pliance, and all its appurtenances
are of the same character, with the
.single exception of the owner oi
the human voice whose “Hello!”
greets us a hundred times a day.
We use the telephone with such
regularity, and for such a variety
of business and social purposes,
that we look upon it pretty much
as we do the typewriter or the
electric light. We iorget that
such a person as “Central” exists
until, alas, we have trouble on the
wire, and then we unhesitatingly
lay the whole burden of blame at
her feet.
The lot of the telephone girl is
not a delightful one, at best. She
is closely confined, she is apt to l>e
underpaid, her surroundings are
not always pleasant, and she re
ceives scant consideration at the
hands of the thoughtless sub
scriber. Only those whose tem-

daughter, Sarah Lee,to Rev. Jack-
son Lee Allgood, the marriage to
take place December 28, in the
Methodist church at Hartwell.
The above announcement is of
especial interest in Coweta county.
Miss Bowden is a niece of Mr. R.
Bowden, of Turin, and a cousin
of Prof. H. S. Bowden, the well
known educator and principal of
the public school at Villa Rica.
Rev. J. L. Allgood is one of the
most esteemed young ministers in
the North Georgia Conference. He
attended the] recent session of Con
ference in Newnan and was the
guest of Dr. aud Mrs. T. W. Sew
ell. He is preaching this year at
Austell. Last year he was sta
tioned at Young Harris.
Miss Bowden is a young woman
of unusual strength aud beauty of
character and is in every way
worthy to occupy the high and
responsible, station of wife of a
minister of the Gospel.
Mr. Allgood is a gentleman of
spotless character. He is talented
and cultured; consecrated and
earnest in the prosecution of his
life work; esteemed and greatly
beloved by many friends.

The News is informed that the
West Point will spend at least
#50,1100 in Newnan next year on
depots and other improvements.
In this connection it is said that
the West Point will no double

when the Groenoville and Newnan
line of the Central is completed.
The Central’s trains from Colum
bus will be run over the West
Point’s tracks from this place to
Atlanta; and it is thought the lust
named line will be double-tracked
to facilitate the hundling of trafilc
and as a measure affording greater
security for the safe hundling of
trains.
The Central may, also, l>e double

point is five or six miles from the
