Railway Notes and Changes in Southern Lines
The Atlanta and West Point and Western of Alabama along with Macon and Birmingham inaugurated faster service between Montgomery and Macon, cutting travel time by an hour and fifteen minutes. A daily through coach runs Macon 11 40 a m via Macon and Birmingham, connects at La Grange, and delivers passengers to Montgomery by 6 25 p m. return from Montgomery leaves 1 40 p m, reaches La Grange by 5 p m and Macon by 9 55 p m. The move has drawn railway attention amid a split in the Southern Railway Steamship and Hotel Advertising Co, with rival boards led by H L Culberson and Jack W Johnson. The December Common Carrier is out. Gulf coast winter resort folders and 1802 diary notes may be secured from J G Hollenbee.
