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 MRS.

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.

Mrs. Atkinson arrived Saturday, to be the guest of Mrs. Longstrect, and will be in Gainesville several days. Mrs. Atkinson is the grand daughter of Governor Milton, Florida’s famous war governor, and has inherited from a long line of famous men and lovely women the fascination and ability that have given hi r a loiemest place among her brainy and chaiming southern 1 cuntry women.

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.

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.

In this connection it is said that the West Point will no double tracked from Newnan to Atlanta 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.
