will be from the West to the
South and that is why tlje West
ern and Atlantic will’ be called
upon to play such an important
part. If it becomes necessary to
move troops it will require cars
innumerable, and it will he nec
essary at the same time to bring
armsand munition, and perhaps
supplies. It will, therefore, be
necessary for the Louisville and
Nashville and the Nashville
Chattanooga and St. Louis, and
other roads, to have every avail
able engine and car in perfect
trim.
,f I did not see the orders,”
said an employee of the Western
and Atlantia road yesterday,
• ‘but it was surmised by the
men that thev were from head
quarters, though the govern
ment may be back of them. I
guess there is a tip out that a
quick movement may be made,
and we will be in readiness
when the final instructions are
given.”

LETTERS OF ADMINISTRA-
TION.
To all whom it may concern :
L. A. Dean having in proper
form applied to me for perma
nent letters of administration on
the estate of Lucy Parker, late
of said county, deceased. This
is to cite all and singular the
creditors and next kin of Lucy
Parker to be and appear at my
office within the time allowed by
law and show cause, if any
they can, why permanent ad
ministration should not be
granted to L. A. Dean on Lucy
Parker’s estate. Witness my
hand signature this 7th day of
March 1898.
