Stories of Vice President Hoxie and railroad lore
The article recalls Vice President E. M. Hoxie of the Gould lines and his wit with employees. It relays a tale of how plans about Gen. Alexander’s Central railroad presidency were overheard by a smoker and later confirmed by papers. It also notes safety on the Savannah to Atlanta run, a critic’s query on railroad engineer examinations, and various anecdotes about firemen and an exaggerated “Jerroid” tale. It ends with brief notes on truthfulness and a few unrelated items from other papers.
