A. & W. P. Improvements.
The Atlanta & West Point Pail-
road is making extensive improve
ments at the Newnan depot and in
the yards here. The depot has
been given a new dress of paint
throughout, and other minor im
provements are noticeable. How
ever, the largest job the A. N: W.
P. has on hands in Newnan now is
the building of several additional
tracks in the yards. These tracks
will be put down between the de
pot and the old baseball grounds
and on the western side of the
main track. A large amount of
grading is necessary la*fore the
1 tracks can be placed and a till of
considerable size is necessary at
the upper end of the tracks, op
posite the ball ground, (trading
has been in progress for a couple
of weeks, a 70-ton steam shovel
having been busily engaged on the
job during most of that time.
The new tracks will be between
the main line and the new cotton
warehouse, which will lie built on
the railroad and on the lot in tin*
rear of Hr. .lamesStaey's residence
lot. Work of grading the ware
house site is also in progress. A
large amount of dirt is being re
moved from this lot and the city
has si-cured some of it for the pur
pose of making a till on Jefferson
Street til the foot of the hill lead
ing up to the cemetery. This is a
much needed and desirable im
provement on one of the city's
main streets.
